Rebirth: Top Actress, Your Big Shot Husband is Jealous Again!

Chapter 1146

Bella Green felt a jolt in her heart as she glanced at Xylia Xandrell, overcome with a sense of foreboding.It seemed to be around this time in her past life that Xylia disappeared without a trace.

Reflecting on this, Bella suddenly looked at Xylia, furrowing her brows deeply.

An idea gradually formed in her mind, causing her some consternation.

If this same situation befell Xylia in a past life, there was no way she could have repaid a million.

So, what exactly led to her disappearance?

At this point, Bella refused to think any further.

No matter what Xylia went through in the past life, this time, she wouldn’t stand by idly.

Not for Lily Johnson or David Xandrell, but for Xylia’s sake alone.

Still, Lily deserved the lesson she was going to get.

"Ignoring a plea for help? Am I the one ignoring a plea for help, or are you the one heartlessly cornering your daughter into a dead end? A million — have you ever thought about what would happen if she can’t pay it back?"

Bella’s gaze was sharp, full of oppressive energy as it bore down on Lily.

Frightened, Lily quickly averted her gaze, trembling as if scared out of her wits.

"I-I couldn’t do anything about it. If she doesn’t come, I’ll be beaten to death; I’m her mother, of course she has to help me."

Lily’s voice grew quieter as she spoke, sheepishly glancing up at Xylia.

If possible, she wouldn’t want to drag her daughter down, but what choice does she have?

She’s been forced to a dead end; if she can’t repay the money, they’ll kill her. She doesn’t want to die yet.

Bella was infuriated by her words but couldn’t help but chuckle, turning to the pale-faced Xylia.

"You see this? Are you really still going to help her? Today, if you cover up this million-dollar hole for her, tomorrow she’ll digging you an even deeper one, don’t you think?"

Xylia’s lips quivered but she couldn’t find the words; she knew Bella was right.

She understood her mother’s character all too well.

But what can she do? This is her mother; she can’t just watch her suffer.

With an exhausted sigh, Xylia looked at the bald man.

"We’ll repay the money, but could you give us some time?" Xylia asked.

The man patted his shiny bald head with a smile, appearing quite amicable.

"Of course, that’s no problem—ten thousand a day in interest for the million."

"Ten thousand!?!" Xylia exclaimed, disbelief written all over her face.

A daily interest of ten thousand? That’s outright extortion.

"Y-you’re extorting us." Xylia’s voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes blazing with anger.

On hearing this, the bald man laughed even louder: "I say, sister, borrowing money in a place like this, did you think it was like the paltry interest of a bank? My money isn’t blown in by the wind, lending it to you without interest – naturally, there’s a charge. Did you think I was running a charity? Besides, your mother signed a contract with us."

These words left Xylia furious yet helpless; the contract was there in black and white, and even if they demanded a hundred thousand in interest, there would be nothing she could do.

Xylia felt she was about to collapse; those astronomical numbers weighed on her like a mountain, suffocating her.

"Of course, if you can’t pay, it’s not a problem. We can find another way for you to repay the debt. All you need to do is follow orders, and I guarantee you’ll have it paid off quickly and turn a hefty profit, what do you think?"

The man stroked his chin, leering at Xylia with ill intentions.
