Chapter 27
Enrica constantly reminded herself of her vulnerable position she dared not and could not resist.
Rohana watched as Enrica shrank like a quad, she had fallen back into the submissive demeanor she had adopted over the past two years with the Zuckers. A smu smile spread across her face
After a moment, the grabbed Enrica by her long hair, yanking her backward, “Miggy’s in trouble, and we need to smooth thingsover Come to a dirmer party with me tonight. After that, I’ll have Sheila let your brother off the hook,” she said coldly
– out a few words.”
Enrica winced in pain, feeling as though her scalp was being tom off. She could only follow the direction of the pull, barely managing to squeeze out a What kind of dinner?”
Rohana sneered “With the higher–ups, obviously! Wit, you think I’m setting you up? Don’t flatter yourself. People like them wouldn’t spare a second glance at used goods like you. You’re just there to pour drinks and look pretty. Don’t tell me you’re too scared to go.”
Sheila chimed in softly, “Ms. Schubert, Miguel got arrested because of you. You still have feelings for him, don’t you? just do this to help him on
Enrica found it absurd. Since her divorce from Miguel, neither the Zockers not Sheila had ever wanted to let her off. Even when they dragged her into court, their poal had been to ruin her completely. And now, they wanted her to help Miguel?
She didn’t owe the Zuckers anything, but had they ever felt any guilt for what they’d done to her?
“I won’t go.” She forced out the words,
She wasn’t stupid. Given how much Bahana hated her, there was no way this dinner would be as simple as it sounded.
Ir Rohana had no ulterior motives, she would have already resorted to physical violence and verbal abuse. The fact that she was holding back now only made Enrica mote suspicious
“you won’t go? Enrica, don’t make me do this! Rohana slapped her across the face. Caught off guard, she was sent stumbling back onto the couch.
Before Enrica could stand up, Rohana charged at her again, grabbing her by the throat and snarling. “You’re the one who got Miggy into this mess, and now, you Think you can just walk away? Don’t think that just because he’s locked up, the Zuckers can’t do anything to you. Think about your paralyzed father! If you don’t want him dead, you’d better do as I say!”

Rohane had always been a delinquent at school–ruthless and vicious in a fight. Enrica was light back
Let me go
Rohana glared at her coldly: “Show up at the dinner tonight, and we’ll call it even–your brother’s matter, our grudges, all of it. But if you don’t then get ready to bury your whole family.”
Enrica’s heart skipped a beat
She couldn’t afford to take Rohana’s threats lightly. The Zuckers had more than enough power to carry them out.
She was tom between agreeing to Rohana’s demands and contacting Zack to call the police. What should she do?
At this point, Julian’s situation didn’t even matter anymore. The real problem was finding a way out without drawing the full force of the Zuckers‘ wrath upon her. Bolan seemed to sense her hesitation and smirked cruelly. She leaned in to whisper in her car, “I’ve already sent my men to your dad’s place. Agree to my terms, and I’ll have them leave right away. Otherwise…!
Enticeshaward involuntanly and quickly stammered, “I–I’ll go! I’ll go… just leave my dad alone!”
Rohana smisland in satisfaction. She rose to her feet, clapping her handslightly as she cast a condescending gaze at Erica, “Go buy yourself something nice to wear and make yoursell pretty. I’ll send you the address. Be there by 9.00 pm.
Enrica flinched, clenched her teeth, an
and gave a stiff and. “Got it. Can leave now!
Rolana looked at her with the same contempt she would have for a stray mutt. “Go,”
She straightened her clothes and slowly walked out.
As the door to the private room closed, Rohana sprawled inelegantly on the couch. She propped her feet up on the coffee table, looking pleased. “Sheila, this plan of yours is spot on. Now, my brother’s got a shot.”
Sheila smiled sheepishly. “I just want to help hope Enrica doesn’t hold it against us.”
