Chapter 247 Thank You for Becoming Sarah's Husband!
Karen sat on the ground, looking at the thumb covered in blood in her arms. She immediately went crazy and yelled, "Ah! Ryder Clark, are you crazy? Take it away!" As she yelled, she scooted her butt on the floor, trying to retreat.
Ryder grabbed Karen's hair and pulled her forward, stopping her from moving back. He coldly said, "You still haven't answered my question." Karen cried with a mournful face, "How do you want me to answer? I'm scared! Please, spare me!"
Her pants were soaked because of fear. She had wet herself. A foul smell filled the basement. Josh and his henchmen frowned and said, "Damn! It stinks so much, it's nauseating. Does she have a disease?"
"Damn it! She was so arrogant just a few minutes ago, and now she's so scared. She was just acting!"
"What a trashy woman, I wish she would vanish!"
Karen usually cared about what other people thought of her. If anyone dared to criticize her, there would definitely be a big argument.
But at this moment, her terrified expression showed no sign of resistance. She was truly scared.
Karen begged, "Please, let me go. I won't dare do anything anymore, sob..."
Meanwhile, Kyle covered his left hand and screamed in pain. He wanted to struggle and roll, but he was being firmly pressed down and couldn't move.
It was a tragic scene. He never expected that Ryder would actually do something so extreme and cut off his finger. Did this mean he would become disabled in the future?
At this moment, Ryder was calm. After all, the harm that Karen and her son had caused him was far from over. Ryder took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Karen, saying, "Want to be spared? You can! You just need to sign this and I'll let you go!"
Karen, in shock, quickly glanced at the contents and her face changed, "This...is this going too far."
"Going too far?" Ryder squinted his eyes slightly. "You have the audacity to say that? I invested four million US dollars in Kyle a while ago, and I also lent you three million US dollars, which comes to a total of seven million US dollars. Now I want to recover this debt, I only want your real estate, car, and all your savings. Is that too much? After all, the sum of all your assets is unlikely to be two million US dollars, right? In the end, you still made a profit!"
"I..." Karen's face was bitter.
If she used all her assets to repay the debt, what would she eat and where would she live in the future?
She couldn't possibly beg for food on the streets, right?
She was planning to negotiate further, but Ryder continued, "If you don't agree, I will follow Josh's valuation method and select some parts from your body to sell to repay the debt. How about that?"
"Huh?" Karen's face turned pale. She knew that even if she sold all her body parts, she still wouldn't be able to repay the debt!
She had seen Josh cut off Kyle's little finger, so she was sure that Ryder would really sell her body parts.
There were only two choices.
What else could she do?
Of course, she had to preserve her life.
Therefore, Karen had to gather her courage and say, "I... I'll sign, just don’t sell my body parts?"
A subordinate came over and untied the Karen's ropes.
Karen signed reluctantly.
Ryder took the signed document and said to Karen, "This is the end of it for now. A word of advice, don't bother Sarah again in the future. If something like this happens again, I’ll show you what it feels like to wish for death."
Karen felt a chill from the bottom of her heart as Ryder stared at her coldly.
There had been a time when this man hadn’t been able raise his head in front of her, and she could always boss him around.
It was precisely because of that that she had become even more ruthless, even finding pleasure in humiliating Ryder.
But now, everything had completely changed beyond her expectations.
Anger, shame, regret, and grievances intertwined.
She had to nod and promise that she would never create trouble again.
"Take your son and leave!"
"Okay, okay!"
Karen felt as if she had received a pardon and hurriedly left the basement with Kyle.
Before they left, Kyle took his severed little finger with him.
He shouted that he wanted to go to the hospital and have it reattached.
Ryder didn't stop him.
It would be best if Kyle learned his lesson, but if he didn't, it wouldn't be difficult to cut it off again.
Furthermore, Dominic and his family had encountered a challenging situation. After consuming an entire case of liquor called "ErGuoTou," Dominic completely passed out. He neither cried nor caused any further trouble. He simply lay there like a dead dog. Eventually, Josh took him to the hospital. The outcome of this incident would depend on Dominic's personal fate.
Of course, Ryder was not worried about Dominic and his family spreading false information. With the threat of Josh looming over them, if they uttered a single word, it was highly probable that they would not see the sun the next day. In any case, this matter had temporarily come to a close.
Ryder briefly said goodbye to Josh and left the Emperor KTV, walking out and getting into a car. Inside the car, Sarah sat in the driver's seat, while Rex and Ernest sat in the back seat.
Sarah initiated the conversation, saying, "Just now, I saw my mother... I mean, she and Kyle came out from inside, looking quite disheveled. They should have gone to the hospital..."
Ryder nonchalantly responded, "I chopped off one of Kyle's fingers."
Sarah and Ernest were both slightly startled by that remark. Ryder said to Sarah, "If you’re upset at me for that, you can say it."
Sarah shook her head and said, "I’m not upset. I'm just feeling a bit sad about how our family has turned out like this. They brought this on themselves."
Ernest let out a sigh and said, "Alas... It's all because she spoiled Kyle too much, and it's also my fault for not being assertive at home. I never disciplined Kyle. Otherwise..."
While Ernest was concerned about Kyle's condition, he harbored no resentment toward Ryder. After all, he had witnessed Kyle's excessive behavior all along. He still had a basic sense of right and wrong.
Sarah asked, "Dad, what are your plans for the future?"
Ernest scratched his head and replied, "I plan on going to the hospital to check on them."
Sarah frowned and said, "Dad! They treated you like that, why would you go and see them?"
Ernest smiled bitterly and said, "My dear daughter, I understand your perspective. But I’m different. After all, they’re still my wife and son. I bear a significant responsibility for the grave mistakes they made."
Ernest felt he had to take on some responsibilities. If he avoided them, he feared he would never have peace of mind. And he didn't want to continue avoiding them any longer.
Sarah knew she couldn't stop him, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, be careful!"
"Alright!" Ernest opened the car door and got out.
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to Ryder, who was still in the car, with a serious smile. "Thank you, Ryder! Thank you for becoming Sarah's husband!"
After saying that, Ernest Johnson turned and left gracefully.
As Ryder watched his departing figure, he had a fleeting feeling that his father-in-law seemed a little less timid now...
