Chapter 35 - How Could They!? Puppy So Sad

"What is the I, I, I? Answer honestly!"

Sam craned his neck to the back and retreated a step.

"I… I Had a debt! I need money or they are going to take my car."

Hearing this answer only made the other three more suspicious.

Sam's father stepped forward and grabbed his collar, shaking him roughly, while asking,

"What kind of debt is that? Your salary is 10 thousand dollars a month! Enough to feed 20 families in our country!"

"And If you needed money, can't you ask me or your uncle!?"

Sam was sweating bullets at this time, his eyes swimming around. Trying to find a solution for. His eyes came in contact with Laheeb, so he tried to beg with his eyes. However, Laheeb looked at him coldly without moving, he even saw a hint of ridicule in those eyes.

"Stop looking around! Nobody will help you! Now Speak!"

His father won't let him easily, pushed him to the wall, and started shouting in his face, saliva flying around.

Sam knows he won't get out of this trouble easily, so he could only confess.

"I... I Lost some money while gambling!"

*slap* *slap*

Two loud and heavy slaps greeted Sam's face, his eyes widened in stupefaction, never ever have he been hit by his father like this.

"Again!? You are gambling again! Wasn't it enough for you to lose 100 thousand Last year!?"

*slap* *slap*

Another two slaps to Sam's face, causing a trace of blood to appear on his lips.

"If it wasn't for me and your uncle to pay it for you last time, you would be a dog on the street somewhere or your organs would have been sold!"

*slap* *slap*

By now Sam's face was beginning to swell with red hand marks.

"If you asked for money, we could still help you! But what did you do!? You wanted to cheat a customer! Did your pig brain think that mixing water with fuel won't have any consequences or do you think everyone is pig-headed like you with no brains? "

*slap* slap*

The pig head, I mean Sam's face had become like a pig by now, alternating between red and blue.

"The one that you wanted to cheat! Do you know who he is!? His repair shop is the biggest in our city! Most of the heavy industries send their vehicles to him! Do you know what kind of connection this man has made over the years!? You Want to F*ck Us all!?"

*woosh* *grab*

The lap was stopped just a centimeter before hitting Sam's face. At some point, Laheeb's father had stood up behind his brother, and grabbed his hand just now, and said,

"Stop hitting the kid."

Looking back at his brother, his face full indignation, he yelled angrily.

"Don't stop me! I have beat some sense into his pig head."

Laheeb's father shook his head, and pulled his brother away, letting go of Sam, who then slid to the floor while holding his face in pain.

"You know that there is no use in doing that."

Then he looked at the pig head, I meant Sam, with a look of disappointment. Took his brother and let him sit on the couch, then got back to his chair.

*thud* *thud* *thud*

He started drumming his fingers on the table rhythmically while thinking of what he should do with his pig nephew. The consequence of his action can be big or small, depending on how he handles it and how to preserve their reputation. Either way, his nephew has to be taught a lesson, a tough one.

*smack*

He smacked the table with his palm all of a sudden, causing everyone to look at him. Then he opened the drawer and pulled out a cheques book, though for a second, then wrote something and snapped a cheque.

He looked at his nephew with a deadpan expression and said slowly,

"Mr. Sam, it seems we are no longer able to keep you within our company. Here is a cheque of 20 thousand dollars, two months salary speculated by the law as compensation for your dismissal."

Sam forgot about the pain on his face the moment he heard his uncle call him by Mr. Sam. When he heard the rest his body was cold all over, he stood up and started stuttering,

"B. B. But Uncle! You can't do that! I'm your nephew! Father! Laheeb! Say something! "

Laheeb by the side didn't say anything, the faint hint of ridicule in his eyes deepened. While Sam's father closed his eyes and ignored him.

"Oh Mr. Sam, it's good for you to remember that we are a family. Unfortunately, you are a bit late. Next time please consider this point before doing something that could cause damage to our reputation."

Laheeb's father then pressed a button on the phone, then as if remembering something he said in surprise.

"Oh Wait! There is no next time."

Right at that moment, two guards came through the door without knocking.

""Sir!""

The two greeted while looking around vigilantly.

"You don't have to look around, take Mr. Sam right here and accompany him to the outside of our company. Also, put him on the blacklist, he isn't allowed to come in anymore."

The two guards looked at Sam's pig face in surprise, wasn't he the boss' nephew? How did this happen?

However, looking back at their serious boss, they didn't think too much, each one took hold of one of Sam's hands and pulled him up while dragging him to the outside.

"Uncle! Please Don't! I won't do it again!"

Sam begged. However he didn't get any response from his family, they just looked at him being dragged like a pig to be slaughtered.

"Close the door."

Laheeb's father ordered his son.

*click*

Then he looked at his silent brother and sighed.

"Don't worry, Living with no money will teach him a lesson once his money's all spent. When he learns his lesson and comes back to his senses, he can go back to work!"

Laheeb's father tried to comfort his brother. Causing the other to sigh.

"I hope he does."

He replied and went silent again.

Laheeb's father then thought of something and dialed another number.

"I want to suspend my nephew's company account. Yes! My nephew Sam. Yes, all of it!"

As soon as the phone was picked up he ordered much to the surprise of the other party on the phone.

While this was happening Sam Was already escorted in his car to the gate outside the company.

He was left alone, his head on the steering wheel with hands on both sides.

Then he lifted his face all of a sudden, red eyes came into view, with no remorse or guilt in them.

"F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!"

*thud* *thud*

He started cursing while hitting the steering wheel madly, getting more furious as he continued.

"How Could He Kick ME out!"

"And Laheeb! How dare He mocks me Like that!!!!"

*thud* *beep* *thud* *beep*9

"Those fucking workers! I Will F*cking Kill them!!!!"

He said as he hit the steering wheel again causing the horn to sound outside.

Then he stopped all of a sudden, his eyes looking mad.

"It's because of those a**holes that took the fuel! It's them!"

Saying that he took his phone and logged in to the company website. Looking at the screen he noted something, then called someone.

"Hello~ how is our favorite customer doing? Are you ready to pay the last 10 thousand? You could pay it next week if you can't pay now. Only, at that time it would be 12 thousand~~"

A shrill and mocking voice came from the other side of the phone.

Sam was already mad and didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party, so he asked.

"I will pay with the route of a fuel truck worth more than 20 thousand dollars! Do you want it or not! Don't mess around or you will lose it!"

The other side went silent for a couple of seconds then asked in the same tone as before.

"Ohoh! And how many people are there? Do they have weapons? There are no details~~"

"They have four people, and one car. Don't know about weapons! Do you want it or not!?"

Sam said angrily.

With only four people to take care of, the other side weighed his options for some time and made a decision.

"Dear customer~~ Please tell me where the fuel truck is~~"

"It's on 1225 Avenue right now, it will exit to 126 street near you in 5 minutes. You will know the truck from our company logo! Your success or failure has nothing to do with me! The deal is concluded."

While looking at the map on his phone again Sam replied.

"You left us with almost now time~~ but since you are our dear customer, we will accept this time~"

The one on the other side accepted the deal in the end and closed the call. At the same time, the phone screen in Sam's hand changed suddenly.

[Access denied!]

He was kicked out of the company system. Sam didn't believe it at first and tried to log in more than 10 times, but nothing worked.

"F*ck! F*ck!"

He threw the phone to the side and started cursing and hitting again.

If someone came beside the car they would hear him say

"How could they!"

"How could they kick me when I'm.."

"When I'm PREGNANT!"

Hello *wave*
