“Bianca Jourdain!”
Bianca Jourdain?!
The Bianca Jourdain that she knew of? Chace’s ex-wife?
Xavia was surprised and shocked. How could she be here? Moreover, why was she getting bullied by these vicious looking men?
The tall and burly man said, “Miss, you know of her identity now, right?”
“She is the woman who offended Young Master Saltman back then and was driven out by him. Some time ago, Young Master Saltman also said that he never wanted to see her again in his life. She is the person that everyone detests, and she is everyone’s target to yell at and bully in Darlsbury.”
“Most importantly, she borrowed one hundred thousand dollars from us and is now two weeks overdue in her payment. What’s wrong about us asking her to accompany us to drink some wine and to sleep with us? It’s only a crime if she doesn’t pay us back.”
His words were all fierce and domineering.
Xavia was stunned once again. Bianca was once the young lady of the Jourdain family. However, she was in the position where she had to borrow from loan sharks now?
She wanted to say something but Bianca was looking at her with a strange expression on her face. After taking a few seconds to size Xavia up, Bianca let go of her hand. “Miss, thank you for your kindness. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll just leave with them.”
Bianca took a step forward.
At this time, she was still thinking of not implicating others. She was really a good person.
Xavia was anxious and she stretched out her hand to pull Bianca over to her. “So what if she’s Bianca Jourdain? Isn’t it only one hundred thousand dollars? I’ll pay it back for her!”
“Give me your bank account number and I will transfer it over to you right away. Or if you have a POS machine, you can also use it right now.”
Xavia took out the black card that Zivon had given to her.
Only a handful of people in Darlsbury and even in the whole county, owned this kind of noble and honorable black card.
Someone whispered, “Boss, she seems to be Mrs. Burton, Young Master Burton’s wife.”
“Is that so?” The burly man looked at her and frowned, “That seems to be true!”
“Oh! Mrs. Burton, I didn’t recognize you because of the dim lights just now. Don’t be angry. We can just forget about that small sum of money. Treat that money as a wedding gift from us to you and Young Master Burton. I hope that you won't tell Young Master Burton about this matter, Mrs. Burton. Please put in a few good words for us when you go back.”
Xavia could not be bothered with them anymore and she led Bianca away with her. They walked to the pharmacy outside the clubhouse, then Xavia bought her water and alcohol sobriety medication.
“Miss Jourdain, are you okay? Take some alcohol sobriety medication and see if you will feel better then.”
Bianca looked at Xavia and her clear eyes carried a hint of gratitude and also reckoning.
She reached out her hand and took the medication from Xavia before she said, “Miss, you’re not Miss Jenna, are you?”
Boom!
Xavia felt as if a shocking bolt of thunder had just struck the back of her head.
Xavia looked at Bianca in panic and surprise. After that, she instinctively blurted out, “How did you know that?”
Bianca smiled faintly and said, “You asked for my name just now. We have met countless times in the past before. Moreover, the tone of your voice is obviously very different compared to Jenna. So, I felt that something wasn’t right as soon as I thought about it.”
So that was how she exposed herself!
