Your Love Is My Weapon

Chapter 319

Jacob also sensed something unusual. He turned to look at Xavier. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Xavier signaled Jacob to lead the way by nodding his head slightly.

Seeing those tall figures leaving, the old man sighed and said to himself, "What trouble has the family

caused this time?"

Otherwise, why would the two men visit them?

People in the room made the small space even more crowded. Grover's head was pressed down on

the table by two hoodlums. In front of him stood a tall man with a scar on his right eyebrow, which was

long enough to reach the corner of his right eye. He spoke with the flesh on his big face trembling.

"Give me the money, or I'll chop off his hands and ruin his face."

Janet stood in the corner behind the door. She had seen things like this so many times over the years

and had compromised every single time. She really didn't want to get involved this time.

She was too tired. There was nothing she could do about it.

"Do what you want. Maybe it's better if you cut off his hands since he obviously can't control them."

"Janet, what are you talking about? He's your brother. How can you give up on him?" Ellen rushed to

her and grabbed her collar. "You can save him! You can get the money, can't you? Go get it now!"

Janet stared at her mother in despair, who was now asking her for money emotionally with a flushed

face. "Mom, how much money have I paid back for Grover over the years..."

"He's your brother," Ellen repeated.

How many times had Janet heard this sentence again?

All these years, Ellen had always used this excuse to force her to pay the debt for Grover. You couldn't

leave him alone because he was your brother. You had to listen to me because I was your mother who

had given birth to you after a ten-month pregnancy. Janet had long been tired of hearing those words

over and over.

"I don't have any money." Janet didn't want to argue with them anymore because the only child her

mother cared about was her son, Grover.

Her daughter meant nothing to her.

"How can you have no money? Aren't you carrying Jasper's baby? Ask the Clintons to give the money!"

Ellen held Janet's hand tightly. "Didn't you get a lot of money last time? You can do it again."

Janet allowed Ellen to hold her. Her mother's nails were pinched into the back of her hand, but she

couldn't feel the pain.

"Sister, you have to save me! I promise I won't gamble anymore! I won't dare to!" Grover begged Janet

with his eyes.

"How many times have you promised me that?" Janet couldn't be more disappointed. "Have you ever

changed?"

Suddenly, she lost all control of her emotions, throwing everything she could get at Grover. "You never

keep your words! I won't save you! Die if you shall!"

"Great! Let's die together today!" Ellen grabbed a knife from the kitchen and pretended to kill herself

with that.

Staring at her numbly, Janet couldn't help but smile sarcastically. "You use this trick every time. It's not

going to work this time. I won't stop you."

She had thought that the money she had gotten by selling out her dignity would free her from this

predicament. But Grover stole the money, lost it all, and owed even more.

She was desperate.

Grover was hopeless.

She would rather die than get trapped in this situation.

"I must have committed crimes in my previous life so that I was born in this family." This was God's

punishment.

Ellen panicked. In the past, Janet would compromise as long as she threatened to commit suicide. Why

didn't it work this time?

"Janet..."

Ellen tried to convince Janet in another way by changing her attitude.

Janet knew that Ellen was going to use family as an excuse as soon as she heard her speaking in a

gentle tone. It was always like this when her mother was trying to force her to do something. If

scoldings and threats didn't work, she would use soft words and tears. However, Janet had made up

her mind. She wouldn't compromise this time no matter what.

She shook off Ellen's hand and ran out of the room with her hand covering her lips. To her surprise,

someone was standing at the door.

She wiped away her tears so that she could see who was there.

"You... You... How could you..." She couldn't believe her eyes. Why was Xavier here?

Ellen, who followed Janet out, asked the two men outside warily, "Who are you?"

Did Grover also owe them money?

No one would answer Ellen's question.

Xavier's eyes were dark. "How much do you need?"

Janet had threatened him for money yesterday.

He hated being threatened the most!

However, for Janet, threatening Xavier was her last choice. She lowered her head and said, "Five...

Five hundred thousand dollars."

This might not be much for Xavier, but for Janet, it was an extremely huge number.

Jacob took the hint. He handed Janet a card before Xavier said anything. "Solve your problem first."

As Janet was still hesitating, Ellen had already grabbed the card. She asked with a smile. "Who are

you?"

Jacob frowned, wondering why the woman was so rude.

Janet wanted to excuse her mother, but she didn't know what to say. Her mother was a rude person.

She had nothing to explain.

"Let's have a talk. I'll wait till you solve your problem." Xavier turned to leave without a glance at Janet.

Before Xavier and Jacob could go far, Ellen, whose eyes were shining with excitement, grabbed

Janet's arm and asked. "Who are they?"

They must have been very rich to give so much money to others without hesitation.

Janet had been afraid that Ellen would think too much, so she told her that she got the money from the

Clintons, which was actually given by Xavier.

"Don't think too much. I'm not familiar with him."

If it weren't for Jasper and Arya's relationship, he wouldn't have interfered. And she wouldn't have

anything to do with him either.

"Really?" Ellen didn't believe it. "Why would someone you are not familiar with give you so much

money? Tell me, did you find a moneybag?"

Ellen wouldn't let Janet go, trying to ask more about Xavier.

Shaking her hand off, Janet looked into the room. "Save your son first."

Ellen slapped her forehead. How could she forget about it?

Seeing Ellen rushing to her son, Janet smiled.

It was a smile of sadness.

The only child Ellen cared about was her son. Her daughter was nothing to her. Why didn't she ask if

the money would bring any trouble to her daughter?

Janet wiped away her tears. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the entrance of the community.

The old man who was playing chess at the entrance had already left. Lowering her head, Janet walked

towards the car not far away.

Jacob was waiting in front of the car. Seeing Janet coming, he said immediately, "She's here."

Xavier was leaning against the car. He looked up slowly when hearing Jacob's words. After he had

taken the last puff of the cigarette, he threw its end away and handed Janet the document that had

been sent to Arya.

Janet was confused. She took out what was inside and became even more confused. "This is..."

"Don't you know it?" Xavier's face darkened.
