Chapter 62


    Back in the bar, Tommy had arrived with his men and chased out all its patrons. As for the staff, all of


    them were huddling in a corner and squatting on the ground. When Hilda saw therge group of armed


    men, her face turned pale in fright. Tightening her grip on Jared’s arm, she began to shiver slightly.


    “Don’t be afraid,” Jared reassured her. When Tommy saw Jared, he wanted to approach him to talk.


    However, Jared quickly stopped him by giving him a look.


    He didn’t want Hilda to know that he knew Tommy. After all, Tommy didn’t have a good reputation in the


    eyes of the masses. If his parents found out that he was hanging out with Tommy, they would definitely


    be outraged. Grasping what Jared meant, Tommy waved his hand for his men to open up a path. Just


    like that, Jared left with Hilda in tow under the watchful gazes of tens of men. The moment they


    reached the bar’s entrance, an agonizing cry rang out from inside the bar.


    Moreover, they also heard sounds of the ce being thrashed. After hailing a taxi, Jared went home


    together with Hilda. On the way back, Hilda nced at Jared and wanted to exin herself. Somehow,


    the words just wouldn’te out. In the end, Jared asked first, “Why are you working in such a ce?”


    Keeping her head low, Hilda rubbed her palms while biting down on her lip. It took her a while before


    she answered, “Jared, can you keep it from my mom? She will be furious if she finds out about that.”


    Jared nodded. After collecting herself, Hilda continued, “Currently, I owe a debt of one million in a high-


    interest loan. If I don’t work in a ce like this, there’s no way I can repay it. When that happens, they


    will demand it from my mom.”


    Just as Hilda exined herself, tears began to stream down her face. “How did you end up deep in


    debt?” Jared furrowed his brows as he asked. Due to her poor family background, she has always


    been thrifty since she was young. So, how did she end up owing so much money? Hilda’s sobs


    intensified at Jared’s question. Teary-eyed, she exined, “When I was in university, I had a boyfriend


    who was two years older than me. He was my senior. After graduation, he used my name to take the


    loan so that he could start a business. But after he got the money, I wasn’t able to contact him


    anymore.”

    When Hilda finished, Jared quickly realized that she had been scammed. At that moment, the taxi


    driver couldn’t help but sigh. “Girls nowadays are just too na?ve and trusting of others. A million is a lot


    of money. Just two days ago, I heard that a girl had taken her own life because of her high-interest


    loan.”


    “Hilda, don’t cry. I’ll help you think of a solution to repay the debt.” Jared patted her on her shoulder.


    Lifting her gaze, Hilda looked at him gratefully. “Jared, I’m aware that you have just been released from


    prison and don’t even have a job. In this case, how are you going to help me? Just don’t tell my mom,


    and I’ll figure it out myself. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything stupid. If anything happens to me, my mom


    will definitely not be able to live on.”


    Smiling slightly, Jared didn’t say anything further. Nevertheless, he resolved to help Hilda out with her


    high-interest loan. As of then, he still had the card William gave him, and it contained ten million. Even


    if he needed more money, he could get it from Tommy. After all, the entire Temr Regiment belonged


    to him.


    When they arrived home, the taxi driver refused to ept the fare. Instead, he smiled at Hilda. “Miss,


    don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine.” With that, the taxi driver drove off. Watching the taxi


    leave, Jared was relieved to know that there were still kind-hearted folks in the world.
