Chapter 206 Desperate for a Loan
First, Seraphina kept crying, trying to get sympathy from Ophe. When Ophe became truly anxious and impatient, Seraphina finally spoke, "I was scammed in my previous investment. I owe over a million dollars in online loans now, and the amount keeps increasing. I can't repay it. Debt collectors have come to my door, threatening to chop off my fingers if I don't pay."
"Scammed over a million dollars?" Ophe was astonished. "Didn't you say there were no losses before? What happened?"
"That was what Magnus told me not to tell you, to deceive you," Seraphina grabbed Ophe's hand and pleaded, "Ophe, please help me. Only you can help me now. I can't repay over a million dollars in loans. How can I possibly repay it?"
Seraphina cried sadly. Suddenly burdened with over a million dollars in debt, Ophe didn't completely understand what had happened and didn't immediately agree.
Ophe said, "Seraphina, calm down first and explain slowly."
While Ophe and Seraphina were talking, Linda took the opportunity to observe the room.
Seraphina explained in great detail about the previous scam and her debt of over a million dollars. She appeared desperate, and tears streamed down her face. "Ophe, please help me. Over a million dollars may not be much to you, but those debt collectors really can chop off my fingers. The interest keeps increasing, and I can never repay it in my lifetime."
After thinking it over, Seraphina thought of this strategy of showing weakness to gain Ophe's sympathy, hoping she could help resolve her debt and reconcile with her.
"I didn't plan on troubling you, but I have no other choice," Seraphina cried, "I feel ashamed of myself. I'm embarrassed to even ask for your help. But I'm desperate. They said if I don't pay within three days, they'll chop off my fingers. Look, they just smashed up my home."
"Seraphina, over a million dollars is not a small amount," Ophe comforted, "Don't worry, there will be a solution to this."
Ophe didn't immediately agree. She was a little skeptical of Seraphina and decided first to ask Magnus about the situation.
Ophe didn't agree, and Seraphina felt extremely jealous. She was willing to give Magnus millions of dollars in property, but when it came to her, she couldn't even provide a little over a million. It was clear that Ophe didn't see her as a friend at all, and the more Seraphina thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Ophe." Seraphina grabbed Ophe's hand as if she were holding onto a lifeline, her eyes pleading and tearful.
Seeing Seraphina like this, Ophe naturally softened. However, Seraphina had done this before, so Ophe wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson and didn't agree right away. "Don't worry for now," Ophe said, providing only this comfort and changing the topic. "Let me help you tidy up the room."
Linda also helped clean up.
Seraphina sat on the sofa, wiping away her tears. She had begged like this, yet Ophe still refused to help her repay the debt. Was Ophe really going to push her to death?
After Ophe finished tidying the room, Seraphina suddenly knelt in front of Ophe. "Ophe, I beg you, please help me. A little over a million is no problem for you. Are you really going to watch me be driven to my death?"
This kneel was a moral blackmail.
"Seraphina, please get up." Ophe was startled and reached out to help.
"I won't get up, Ophe. If you don't help me, I will truly have no choice but to die."
Seraphina's tears mixed with snot. "I borrowed this money; I will give you an IOU. I will repay you in one year, two years, ten years. Even if I have to work for a lifetime, I will definitely repay."
"Seraphina." Ophe frowned.
"Ophe, I'm begging you." Seraphina humbled herself even further, taking out paper and pen in a hurry to write an IOU for Ophe.
Linda watched from the side but couldn't say anything.
This way of borrowing money was truly unheard of. It was clearly forced borrowing.
"Fine." Ophe ultimately agreed.
