Chapter 289

BEN KEPT THE GUN pointed at Carson's stomach. He didn't want to accidentally kill her with one shot if she did something stupid, but he wanted her to feel the threat. To date he'd never had to actually shoot someone, but he was angry enough to pull the trigger. Especially with her.

"W-where are we going?" Carson asked.

"Your place."

"You know I had no choice?" She glanced at him.

"You always have a choice," he sneered.

"I didn't. See, they were threatening my sister-"

"Shut up. I don't care."

"My sister's parents were illegal immigrants from Ghana. My sister was born here, but the small hospital didn't do digital records. The county courthouse record room burned down, and so did her birth certificate-"

"Boohoo. I don't give a fuck. You screwed me. Whatever happens is karma."

"Ben, please? There's got to be some way we can fix this? You and me?"

"You bet you're going to make this right. You're going to log in with your admin powers and unfreeze my client's money."
