Chapter 254 Counting Money

Chapter 254 Counting Money

Gabriel's ears were extremely sharp.

He could even hear the dice in the casino and determine the points. In such a close conversation, he naturally heard everything clearly.

He also heard what the stranger on the other end of the phone said.

After finishing the call, Priscilla immediately became restless and anxious.

Sixty thousand dollars was not a small amount!

Right now, she only had a little over twenty thousand dollars in her savings.

In this society, gathering money was extremely difficult!

Seeing Priscilla's anxious look, Gabriel advised her, "Miss Weber, let's eat first. You can only focus on it after having a full stomach!"

"You eat first!" Priscilla waved her hand, walked into her room with a frown, and closed the door behind her.

She hesitated for a while before making a phone call.

She could only borrow money shamelessly now.

"Hello? Linda, do you have any spare money on hand? Can you lend me some for a while?"

"..."

"Hello? Emily, can you repay me the money you borrowed last time? I need it urgently!"

"..."

After more than ten minutes, Priscilla came out of the room feeling discouraged.

Borrowing money was too difficult.

She made nine phone calls, and only three people agreed to lend her money.

But it seemed that it still wasn't enough to reach sixty thousand dollars.

Gabriel nonchalantly finished a plate of spaghetti and wiped his mouth, saying, "Miss Weber, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Maybe I can help!"

For him now, sixty thousand dollars was nothing.

Considering Priscilla's help to him last night, he could give her the money to help her out.

After hesitating for a moment, Priscilla shook her head and said, "It's fine. I can handle it myself. But thank you anyway!"

She had just met Gabriel, and borrowing money from him was not something she could do easily.

Since Priscilla didn't ask, Gabriel naturally wouldn't offer to lend her money.

He leisurely walked over to the sofa and turned on the TV again.

The news was playing Tim's case again.

When he saw Tim, he wanted to beat Tim up...

Gabriel rested peacefully at Priscilla's house.

Besides watching TV, he slept!

He hadn't been this comfortable in months.

Meanwhile, Priscilla was struggling. Not only was she busy with work, but she was also busy borrowing money.

Two days later, it was Saturday!

Priscilla didn't need to work on weekends!

She sat on the bed, took out her own money, and also took out the borrowed money.

"Seven hundred and forty, seven hundred and sixty... Seven hundred and eighty-nine, a total of fifty- seven thousand, seven hundred and eighty-nine dollars!"

She counted three times, even using coins, but she still needed over eight thousand dollars.

She was extremely distressed and conflicted.

It had already been two days, and the person who had the video should be contacting her soon.

But what should she do if she didn't have enough money?

"Miss Weber, so much money?" Gabriel suddenly stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, squinting his eyes and smiling. "You're really bold. I am here, and yet you're openly counting money. Aren't you afraid that I'll rob you?"

In his eyes, Priscilla wasn't bold, but rather a bit foolish.

As a police officer, she had no sense of guarding against bad people.

He didn't even know how Priscilla became a police officer.

Priscilla shook her head and said, "I can tell that you're not a bad person. With your skills, you probably wouldn't care about this small amount of money!"

"Eh..." Gabriel was suddenly speechless.

He had just said that this woman was a bit foolish, but she unexpectedly said something so insightful, making him feel a bit unaccustomed.

Ha-ha, she really had great discernment! Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ding Ling."

Just at that moment, Priscilla's phone rang.

Priscilla took out her phone and saw an unfamiliar number.

She hurriedly answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Miss Weber, is the money ready?"

"Can we..."

Priscilla was about to ask if he could lower the amount, as she didn't have enough money.

But she saw Gabriel vigorously shaking his hand at her and silently mouthing something.

It seemed like he was saying, "It's ready!"

Priscilla hesitated for a moment. She didn't know why, but she said, "It's ready!"

She rarely lied, and this lie seemed a little forced.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the garbage station on Green Road, number 27, at one thirty in the afternoon. Come alone, and we'll exchange the money for the video at the same time!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up.

Priscilla put away her phone and glanced at the time.

It was now ten-fifty in the morning, and there was less than three hours left!

She quickly organized the money on the bed, tied it with a rubber band, and put it in a cloth bag.

"Do you know that I'm planning to buy the video of my brother's murder with this money?"

Priscilla held the bag of money, stared at Gabriel with her big eyes, and asked.

Gabriel nodded, squinted his eyes, and smiled. "Yes, my hearing is quite good. You made the call right next to me, and I did hear it!"

"Although they said they want sixty thousand dollars, girls are usually good at bargaining, right? If you manage to lower the amount a bit when you go there, he should still accept it!"

"But I need to remind you that it might be dangerous for you to go alone. How about I accompany you? Be your bodyguard?"

Staying in Priscilla's small house for the past few days had been suffocating.

He had been nursing his back injury for over two days. Although he was far from recovered, he could move a little.

And this little bit of movement was more than enough to beat up some punks.

"Thank you!" Priscilla hesitated for a moment and said, "Your injury is so severe, so you don't have to go. I can handle it myself!"

"As long as I can get the video of my brother's murder, I can definitely bring Kevin and the others to justice!"

"Um..." However, Gabriel said, "Do you really think that having a video can bring down Kevin?"

"Definitely!" Priscilla said firmly, "I believe in the law and justice! As long as there is sufficient evidence, we can ensure that the bad people will be punished severely by law!"

"Alas, I..." Gabriel frowned, speechless.

She said that again. This woman was probably going to suffer because of this statement!

He waved his hand and said, "Then I wish you good luck!"

Since she didn't believe in the darkness of society, she would suffer from its cruelty.

"Ding Ling."

Priscilla was quite busy on the weekend, and her phone rang again.

The piercing ringtone interrupted their awkward conversation.

"Hello, Mr. Coleman?"

On the other end of the phone was Priscilla's immediate superior, Doyle.

"Priscilla, there was a fierce fight between the Southern Heaven Association and the Ghostly Purgatory Hall at the Silver Club just now. Three people died, and we don't have enough manpower at the police station. Go and help!"

"Yes, Mr. Coleman, I'll go right away!"

Priscilla hung up the phone and immediately put on her police uniform to get ready to leave.

She said to Gabriel, "I'm sorry, Gabriel. There was a fight between the clans at the Silver Club, and some people died. We don't have enough people at the police station, so I have to go immediately! Just eat something casually for lunch, and I'll cook when I come back tonight!"

Seeing that Priscilla was rushing out, Gabriel asked, "What about buying the video at the garbage station? Do you want me to go in your place?"

After getting dressed, Priscilla picked up the bag of money. "The Silver Club is not far from the garbage station. I should be able to make it there in time. Thanks!"

With that, Priscilla hurriedly left the house.

After Priscilla left, Gabriel narrowed his eyes and smiled.

How interesting. The Southern Heaven Association and the Ghostly Purgatory Hall finally fought each other.

Matilda, the strong-willed woman, finally started to fight back after suffering the last time.

Women fighting was always the most exciting.

They pulled hair and tore clothes!

Just thinking about Vicky and Matilda fighting made him excited.

That scene would definitely be thrilling!

Just fight. The more intense, the better.

At this moment, he was waiting to gain benefits from their fight...
