Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 125 Job

The Jones family slumped to the floor. Due to the tense emotions, Harry's eyes were completely bloodshot. "Mr. Jones, do you have anything else?" The girl on the phone asked gently, the emphasized smile in her tone seeming to mock his heartlessness. Clutching the phone tightly, anger filled Harry's chest, veins popping on his face. "Mr. Jones, do you have anything else?" The girl on the phone asked again. Harry snapped back to reality, the next moment, loudly spat out, "DT Investment, damn you!" Harry couldn't imagine how lively their home would become once the village redevelopment succeeded. This new plan was clearly targeting their family, and if successful, they would be in a precarious situation. With things reaching this point, he had no choice but to find other ways. "Harry, what about approaching the Alter Group?" Grandpa Jones panicked, thought of Bob Alter after losing their composure. "Previously, if it wasn't for his help, we wouldn't have succeeded during the livestream exposing those scheming mother and daughter. Why don't we give it a try?" "No use." Harry waved his hand, sighing, "We've lost our utility. Forget about getting help; I can't even get through on the phone." After so many years in the business, he understood the fundamental concept of utility. Now, he had no more value to offer, so how could Bob Alter possibly entertain him? But his parents were unwilling to give up. Taking Harry's phone, they called the number Bob Alter had provided for them, claiming they could call if they needed anything. However, after dialing, it showed that the phone was turned off. That meant they were blocked. To make matters worse, something more miserable awaited them. Harry's phone suddenly started ringing. "Hello, Harry, when are you going to repay the ten thousand?" Terrified, Harry hung up the phone, but immediately, over a dozen calls came in one after the other.These debt collectors were calling after seeing the livestream and news, knowing that Harry no longer had money and urging him to repay. They knew Harry very well, aware of his gambling habits. Whenever he had extra money, he would spend it on gambling. So, to avoid more trouble, they had to act quickly. However, Harry simply turned off his phone. For several days, the family of five stayed huddled in their home. Regardless of how people outside shouted and threatened, they refused to open the door. Finally, unable to bear the disturbance any longer, the frustrated neighbors revealed the truth, exposing Harry's situation. So, those creditors armed with sledgehammers smashed open the Jones family's front door, surrounding the family of five in the living room. "Not repaying the money, huh?" A middle-aged man who often mingled in society signaled his partners to pin Harry's hand on the table. "If you don't repay, we'll cut off your hand!" "No, no, no, please!" Harry was scared, his parents and children crying. His mother fainted on the spot. The thugs still had no intention of letting them go, lifting their knives to strike. "Stop!" A figure suddenly appeared at the door. Looking closely, it was Kara, holding her child. The warm sun supported her from behind. In Harry's eyes, her lover suddenly transformed into a world-conquering hero. Coming to save his long-isolated heart. At that moment, tears welled up in Harry's eyes. "How much do you owe them?" Kara walked to Harry and asked in a low voice. After surveying the Jones family and ensuring there was no danger, Kara took a long breath. "A hundred thousand!" The thug said, "A hundred thousand is what he owes me. As for the others here, combined, it's at least a million." Upon hearing this, Kara's pupils flashed a hint of despair. Thinking she couldn't repay, the thug suddenly gripped her shoulder, "Can't pay? Alright, use yourself as collateral!" Saying that, he grabbed Kara, intending to drag her and the child into the room. "No!" Harry, controlled on the table, shouted desperately, watching Kara and his child face humiliation. The others viciously kicked him several times. "Wait, wait!" Kara, struggling to calm herself, pleaded, "I'll pay, I'll pay it all!" Tears streamed down her face. Seeing her worn-out clothes, the thugs didn't believe her words. So, they warned, "Don't play tricks here." "I have money!" Kara swallowed the dryness in her throat, moistening it, "After my ex-husband passed away, he left me a substantial amount, a million. I can afford to pay." The thug squinted, "Alright! Pay up then!" He signaled for the others to display the payment codes. After Kara steadied herself, she began scanning the codes one by one to repay what was owed. Once the last one was settled, the satisfied group left. Kara collapsed to the ground. Harry crawled over to her and embraced her. "I'm sorry, Kara. It's my incompetence, my uselessness. I swear, I'll never gamble again." Only at this moment did Kara recover from the tense situation. She clung to Harry, crying with a heart full of pain. After a while, when Kara cried herself out, the family of five finally regained their composure. Grandpa and Grandma Jones sat upright on the sofa, disgusted with Kara but wanting to test her financial situation. "Kara, thank you for helping out," Grandma Jones said expressionlessly. Shaking her head, Kara bent down to play with the child. "It's okay. Harry is the child's father. Saving him and his family is the right thing to do." "Kara, a million. Did that empty your coffers?" Grandpa Jones asked. Hearing this, Kara's gaze dimmed for a moment. After a while, she replied, "No, there's still some left, enough for our family of seven to get by for a month.""Just enough for a month?" Grandpa Jones's voice was full of disappointment. Originally, Amara had planned to endure her for the sake of the money, but upon hearing it was only enough for a month, she dropped the act. "Kara, right? I know you and Harry grew up together, but times have changed. I'm Harry's wife now. Take a break and leave. Harry will find a way to repay you the million." Grandpa and Grandma Jones didn't agree, nor did they deny. They tacitly accepted. Kara was bewildered for a moment, then looked at them innocently. "I had found a job for you, hoping you could stay away from trouble and start anew, but..." Hearing about a job, the Jones family's attitude immediately changed. They stopped Kara, who was about to leave. "Kara, what job are you talking about? Can our whole family take it?" Kara nodded sincerely. "I work at that company. They need people to evade taxes. So, once you start working, you won't have to do anything, and each month, you'll receive five thousand in cash. Of course, you know it's tax evasion, so they pay in cash." Could there be such a good thing? The family looked at each other in disbelief. "That's right. The company has business dealings with Southeast Asia, and since overseas transactions are strictly regulated, they came up with this method to save costs." ***
