Chapter 15 Although I was frightened to death, I was still the one at fault. I suppressed the fear in me and slowly

opened the car door. The Tibetan Mastiff, which rushed out just now, was lying motionlessly under my

car tire. The pool of crimson blood stood out clearly among the greenery of the woods. I closed my

eyes in shock. After some time, I managed to calm myself down. “Tell me, what are you going to do

about this?” The man crossed his arms and stared at me coldly. I did not dare to look into his

frightening eyes. I lowered my head and said, “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to do this. I can compensate

you.” “Since you have a good attitude, I will let you go easy. Pay me ten thousand bucks in cash, or

else…” The man was biting on a piece of reed between his teeth. He gave me a glance from head to

toe with a smirk on his face. I sensed the imminent danger and immediately said, “No problem. I will

give it to you.” At a time like this, I would gladly give him even a hundred thousand bucks if he asked

me for it, let alone ten thousand. I turned around in a hurry to look for my handbag, but I could not find

it after looking through my entire car. Just then, I recalled that I did not take it when I left in a hurry last

night. “Sir, I…I do not have that much cash on me. How about I transfer the money to you online?” I

asked him cautiously. “No. I only want cash. If you do not have money, do not even think of leaving

today.” The man huffed coldly. He did not look pleased. “If so, can I call a friend? I will ask her to send

some cash over.” I quickly took out my phone and was prepared to make a call. “You better do as you

say and do not even think of calling the police. Over here, the police will not be able to do anything.”

The man glared at me with an impatient look on his face. “I will not do that. I guarantee that I will not

call the police.” I found the number that I was about to dial and showed it to him. After confirming that it

was not an emergency number, he nodded and gestured for me to dial the number. I called Cecilia first,

but her phone was off. After that, I tried calling Heidi, but her phone was off as well. I was stunned. I

was usually either at the company or the Grant household. I was not good at socializing, so I did not

have many friends. I did not know who to call. After thinking about it for some time, I toughened up and

called Mason. The call went through after ringing a few times. However, nobody spoke. Feeling slightly

awkward, I spoke up. “Doctor Lynch, sorry for disturbing you so early in the morning. Can you help me

with something? Something came up, and I need ten thousand bucks in cash. Can you send the cash

over for me?” When I noticed there was no response, I paused and mustered the courage to say,

“Doctor Lynch, I am truly sorry. You are the only one whom I can ask for help from right now.” After

some time, a cold voice spoke up from the other end of the line. “You are indeed something, Wanda

Lane!” This voice belonged to…Theo Grant! How could it be him? He was so drunk last night. How

could he pick up Mason’s call so early in the morning? “Theo, why is it you who is picking up the call?” I

asked him without thinking. I was terrified. “If I did not pick up the call, I would not have known that my

woman would call another man for money in the wee hours of the morning.” Theo spat out those words

slowly. I could tell that he was gritting his teeth. He was super furious. Just as I was at a loss for what to

do, his cold voice spoke again. “Give me the address!” I did not know where I was either, so I quickly

asked the man beside me, “Sir, what is this place called?” “D*mn it! It is very early in the morning. What

the hell did you do?” Theo suddenly raised his voice. His voice almost broke my eardrums. “The

entrance to Sunhill Village.” After the man told the name of the place where we were, I hung up the call.

I massaged my forehead. I was speechless and anxious. I thought that Theo would be suffering from a

hangover and that he would be asleep right now. I did not want to disturb him this early in the morning,

but things didn’t go as planned. The man remained silent after seeing me hang up. He squatted down

in front of my car. I got into my car and waited anxiously for Theo to arrive. I thought it would take a

long time for Theo to arrive since I vaguely remembered driving for more than two hours last night.

Unexpectedly, Theo reached within half an hour.
