It happened so swiftly that before she could react, a sack was worn over her head. A sharp pain stung from her nape, and she fainted.
Half an hour later, someone poured cold water on her to wake her up. She found herself in a run-down house. Standing before was a group of fierce-looking men.

"Everly Pierce, do you know why we kidnapped you here?" The leading man, Samuel Palmer, grazed his thumb over a knife. One of his eyes was covered.
She gulped at the sight of the big knife before pleading, "Could you givea few more days? I'll return you the money after selling off those herbs." Actually, she borrowed from loan sharks to pay for the deposits.
"It's been three days past the agreed date! You know what happens when you can't pay us back, don't you?" Samuel threw the knife onto the cutting board on the table.
At the stime, a man grabbed her to pull over her right arm.
She screamed in fear. Her hand balled into a fist because she was afraid that they would chop her hand off.
Annoyed, the man slapped her face. "Shut up or pay us back, bitch!" She fell onto the floor. Her cheek swelled, and the corner of her lips bled.
She covered her cheek and knelt while begging for her life, "Please! Please givethree more days! I'll pay you back after three days!" "What if you can't?" Samuel threatened.

Once she receives the goods, I'll have the money to pay you back!" He spat out the words, "If you still can't pay us back, you're dead meat!" He did hear of the announcement from Dr. Shadow in passing but not the details.
The group of men left after that.
When Everly stood up, she realized that her pants were stained. It turned out that she was so terrified she wet herself.
However, she wasn't in the state of mind to care about her image. She ran back to Forever Clinic without hesitation. Right when she was going to open the door, a group of people suddenly flocked to her. The lingering fear prompted her to run away.
"Everly Pierce, where are you going? You haven't cleared your payment! When are you going to make the final payment?" "Don't think of running away from this! We signed a contract!" "If you don't pay us, we'll sue you!" She shrieked like a lunatic, causing the suppliers to exchange looks. However, none of them showed a tinge of pity.
One of them yelled at her, "What are you shouting for? It's useless to act crazy. You have to pay as agreed!" โอน It was only then that she realized that they were the suppliers who cin the morning, not the loan sharks.
