NovelAppChapter 214
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they laughed at Patricia's angry reply. "Haha—"
The woman smiled charmingly and was not mad at Patricia at all. "Miss Patricia, you didn't know that?"
There was no difference between usury and robbery, but some people would still be hooked, just like
Patricia.
Patricia watched them laugh like nobody's business and started feeling panic. What should she do
now? She had to see Sylvie first and make sure that she was alright.
"Blake, I will definitely pay back the money I owe. Can you at least let me see my daughter first? After
confirming that she is safe and sound, I will ask my friend to send the money immediately."
"Your friend? I don't believe you." Blake took a sip of alcohol and looked at her in a ghastly manner. He
had the impression that Patricia was a troublesome woman. When he lent her money, she agreed to
pay it back on time, but now it seemed like she did not want to pay it back.

she wanted to use it for medical treatment. She has been selling her house recently and will pay the
remaining back when she sells it. She can send the money right away if I give her a call." Although
Patricia said this with ease, she could not help but break into a cold sweat.
She was unsure if Darcie had sold the house, and if she had, was it worth 2 million? The more Patricia
thought about it, the more troublesome she felt, especially the fact that they conned so much money
out of her. She was mad at herself, thinking about what else she could do after rescuing Sylvie. Well, at
least she needed to make up for her losses.
Blake felt some sincerity in Patricia's words, so he ordered the woman beside him, "Lovetta, make sure
that you're listening when she makes the call."
Lovetta, who sat on Blake's lap, stood up and crooked her finger to beckon Patricia.
"Come with me." Patricia followed Lovetta into one of the rooms. After the light was turned on, she saw
Sylvie tied to the bed. Her eyes were swollen from all the crying. As soon as the light came on, Sylvie
also opened her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Patricia rushed over and stroked her little
face.
"Sylvie, don't be afraid. Mommy is here." She pulled the cloth out of Sylvie's mouth, and Sylvie was
finally able to cry out loud.
"Tricia... I'm scared." Sylvie leaned her head against Patricia's chest as her little body trembled.
Sylvie was only a child, but she had to endure such hardship. It must be unbearable for her. Patricia
also had tears in her eyes as the feeling of regret filled her up—she knew she had done something
wrong this time. She thought the company Gus was in was legitimate and did not expect it to be a loan
shark. It was all her fault that Sylvie was hurt.
Patricia hugged Sylvie tightly. "Sylvie, don't be afraid. Mommy will always be by your side, and you will
never be left alone again." Patricia's heart was aching as the little girl in her arms kept crying and
looking extremely distressed.
Lovetta folded her arms in front of her chest and glanced at the mother and daughter lightly.

Otherwise, you two will be thrown into the river to feed the fish." Sylvie shivered again when she heard
that.
Patricia patted Sylvie's back lightly and untied the rope around her body. "Sylvie, it's too late, and you
should sleep for a while. When you wake up, we'll already be at home." Sylvie kept staring at Patricia
when Patricia covered her with a quilt and touched her little face.
"Mommy is here with you. Don't be afraid. Just sleep." Finally, Sylvie closed her eyes, and she had an
exhausting day.
After watching her fall asleep, Patricia took out her mobile phone and dialed Darcie's number. "Tricia,
what's the matter? It's quite late now."
There was quite some background noise from Darcie's side, so she must have been still at work.
"Darcie, have you sold your house? I did something wrong. I thought I borrowed money from Gus'
relatives, and I didn't expect them to be loan sharks, and now Sylvie is in their hands. If you have
money, can you transfer some to me?" Patricia could not help but sniffle when she was talking. She
knew that Darcie was also having a hard time.
