219: Chapter 219: Worse than a Beast!
Lionel Yeager said, “Maybe it’s because Assistant Tolkien used all the money she earned to support her family.”
Julia Stewart nodded, thinking that Lionel had a point.
After parking the car, the three ca to the entrance of a building.
This building only has eight floors and does not have an elevator.
The three climbed the stairs to Room 703 on the seventh floor.
However, as they arrived at the door, all three were suddenly taken aback.
The door was painted with red paint, with the words “pay back the money” written on it.
Julia Stewart asked in disbelief, “Could it be that Sunny Tolkien owes people money and hasn’t paid it back?”
Lionel Yeager also frowned slightly.
He had found it strange when Sunny borrowed money from him before.
After all, Sunny’s salary should have been more than enough to support herself.
Why would she owe people money?
Lionel Yeager said, “Let’s ask Assistant Tolkien later.”
Julia Stewart nodded and knocked on the door.
However, after knocking for a while, there was no response from inside.
“Did sothing happen?”
Julia Stewart’s face was full of worry as she knocked and called out, “Sunny, it’s , open the door quickly!”
After a while longer.
There was finally the sound of footsteps inside.
The door opened, and Sunny Tolkien’s figure appeared in front of the three.
The mont they saw Sunny, all three were stunned.
If they were not familiar with Sunny, they would hardly recognize her.
She was wearing pajamas, her hair was disheveled, her lips dry, and her face and body were covered with bruises.
She looked completely different from before.
Before, Sunny was full of energy, but now she barely looked human.
Sunny lowered her head slightly and asked weakly, “President Stewart, Assistant Yeager, Prajna, why are you here?”
“Sunny, what happened to you?!”
“Sister Sunny Tolkien, what happened to you?
Who did this to you?”
Julia Stewart and Prajna Bates didn’t answer the question, but asked instead.
“No, nothing.”
Sunny replied evasively, then said, “Please co in.”
The three nodded and entered.
The inside was ssy, things were broken, and there were bloodstains on the ground.
After closing the door, Sunny said, “I’m sorry, the house is a ss, and I haven’t had ti to clean up.
Please sit down, I’ll get you so water.”
Then, Sunny limped away to get the water.
“Sunny, what’s wrong with your leg?”
Julia Stewart hurriedly asked.
Over the years, Sunny had helped her shoulder so of the pressure and had always encouraged her when she was feeling down.
So, to her, Sunny was both her assistant and her friend.
Seeing Sunny in this state now, she was extrely worried.
Sunny forced a smile, and said, “I just tripped and fell, it’s nothing.”
“How can it be nothing when you’re in this state?
Stop pouring water, sit down and talk to us.”
Julia Stewart quickly went to help Sunny sit on the sofa.
Sunny shook her head and pretended to be strong, saying, “President Stewart, thank you for coming to see , but I’m really fine.
After a few days of rest, I’ll be able to return to work.”
“You’re like this now, and yet you say it’s fine!”
Julia Stewart’s eyes reddened, “Sunny, in my heart, you are not only my employee but also my friend.
If you think of as a friend, tell what happened.”
Lionel Yeager also spoke up, “Assistant Tolkien, aren’t we friends?
Tell , maybe we can help you.”
Prajna Bates was extrely anxious, “Sister Sunny Tolkien, please tell us, we can’t stand the suspense!”
Feeling the concern from Julia Stewart and the others, Sunny couldn’t hold back any longer and began to cry out in pain, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
Upon hearing Sunny’s cries, Lionel Yeager, Julia Stewart, and Prajna Bates all felt a heartache as if being stabbed by needles.
Julia Stewart hugged Sunny tightly, comforting her, “It’s okay, don’t cry, tell us if you have any difficulties.”
Prajna Bates also hugged Sunny, helping her wipe away her tears, “Sister Sunny Tolkien, don’t cry anymore, your face will be ruined if you do.”
Hearing the two comforting her, Sunny cried even louder, as if to vent all her grievances.
The three of them didn’t say anything more and quietly waited for Sunny.
Sunny must have sothing hidden in her heart that needed to be vented.
After crying for a while, Sunny gradually stopped.
She said hoarsely, “The wounds on my body were caused by my ex-boyfriend…”
“What?!”
Julia Stewart’s face changed, and she shouted in surprise, “Your ex-boyfriend did this to you?!”
“Yes.”
Sunny nodded and continued, “Three years ago, I t my ex-boyfriend.
At the ti, he was cheerful, optimistic, and ambitious, and he treated well.
We had planned to work hard for a few years, pay a deposit in River City, buy a house, and then get married.
But good tis didn’t last long.
Since he t a group of bad friends a year ago, he changed completely.
He started to stay out all night, beca fond of drinking, and developed a gambling addiction.
He gambled away all his savings and ca to for money to gamble.
When I refused, he’d beat .
After he spent all my savings, he even borrowed money at high interest rates.
Later, I couldn’t take it anymore and broke up with him.
I thought there would be no trouble after breaking up, but every now and then he would co looking for since then.
Every ti he ca, he wanted money, and if he didn’t get it, he’d get violent.
Moreover, those loan sharks couldn’t find him, so they ca after for the money.
I was nearly driven mad…”
After hearing what Sunny had to say, the three then understood what was going on.
Anger flashed in Lionel Yeager’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “Your ex-boyfriend is a real beast!”
“He’s absolutely worse than a beast!”
Prajna Bates chid in angrily.
“Why didn’t you call the police?”
Julia Stewart asked.
Sunny replied bitterly, “I did report to the police, but it was useless.
He knows people from the underworld and has connections in the police station, so every ti, the matter is settled without any consequences.
And every ti I report him, he beats even more brutally.”
“Damn bastard!”
Prajna Bates stood up and coldly said, “Sister Sunny Tolkien, where is that beast?
I’ll go and take him down!”
Lionel Yeager’s anger was also surging.
He tried to suppress it and said, “Prajna, don’t be hasty.
Let treat Assistant Tolkien’s injuries first, and then we’ll go find that beast and settle the score.”
“Okay!”
Prajna Bates nodded in agreent.
With teary eyes, Sunny looked at the three and asked, “Are you going to help ?”
“Of course, we’ll help you!”
Julia Stewart nodded and said, “We must punish this beast severely, otherwise, he’ll keep pestering you!”
Sunny expressed her concern, “But he has connections with the underworld, and helping might cause you trouble.”
Julia Stewart said, “Don’t worry, Sunny, we won’t have any trouble.”
