Chapter 176 - Forget Your 5000 Pounds

After coming here she felt slightly better but she was still very angry not just with Ronald but with herself too as she made a huge mistake by trusting him. 

She recollected everything that happened till date and got fussed at how stupid and dumb she was. She knew their relationship was failing but yet she continued it with the hope that things would turn better.

She then remembered Ronald still owes her 5000 Pounds and now she wanted to smack her head as she forgot to ask him back the money in her anger, she knows Ronald very well, so she knew now he won't give her the money he borrowed back.

But she still decided to at least try once, she kept her ego aside and called Ronald.

"Hello Megan" Ronald got excited that she called him back.

"You owe me 5000 Pounds, I want my money back."

Ronald got annoyed as she was again asking him for the money he borrowed, the next moment he smirked at her.

"Fine, you come back home and get together with me, then I will give you your 5000 Pounds back."

"And what if we don't get back together?" 

"Then forget your 5000 Pounds."

Megan got furious when she heard his words.

"You bastard, I'll complain to the cops about you."

"Sure, try that and who is going to believe you? Do you have any proof?"

Megan was speechless as she has no proof because she gave him all cash and there were no records of her sending money to him.

"But I'll still go to the cops"

"Yeah, with your new play coming up, this will only worsen matters for you. It will take months for you and visits to the police station and all of this is going to be a huge mess, all the best for that." Ronald taunted her.

"You sick bastard"

"Come back to me, today itself I'll give you your money back."

"As if I am going to believe you"

"Fine, your loss, forget the money you lent me, think you did charity."

Ronald hung up on her and Megan shouted in frustration, she again started crying as she felt very helpless in that moment, it was her hard earned money and she lost it just like this.

After crying she realized she is not alone, she has friends and Jim who became a good friend of her is a Morris, once Jimmy told her that she could come to him if she ever needs any help.

Without another thought she called him with the hope that he or his contacts might help her deal with Ronald.

"Hey What's up?" Jimmy answered her call.

As soon as she heard his voice, she cried even more, they became close friends during this time and when she heard a close person's voice, the emotions she had in her flood and she cried.

Then between her sobs she explained what happened with her.

Jim asked her where she is, so she informed him she is in her university dormitory. 

Daniel's house is nearby and he was there only, so Jimmy asked her to wait and he will come there in a few minutes and hang up on her.

Megan felt better to know she has a good friend who at least cares about her so she informed the manager in-charge that a friend of hers is coming over to visit her so that he can get entry.

In the university dormitory, there are strict rules for students and not for professors and assistant professors so the manager agreed.

As promised, Jimmy came to meet her in the dormitory after a few minutes, she messaged him the details so he quickly came to her room.

He saw her packed luggage at one corner and her eyes still had tears and they were swollen, he quickly rushed to her and hugged her.

Megan cried more after hugging Jimmy and between her sobs she told him what happened.

"Good, you left him, you did the right thing Megan" He tried to console her.

"Jim, I screwed up" She looked at him and informed him.

"Of course not Meg, you didn't"

"No Jim, I did"

Then she told him how Ronald refused to give her 5000 Pounds back to her.

"What a bastard" Jimmy got very angry at Ronald's behaviour.

"Jim can you use some contacts so that when I complain to the cops, the case quickly moves forward?"

Jim hesitated before answering her, "I hate to say this but Ronald is right, we can't prove he owes this money to you, also it will be bad to your reputation if an actress complains to cops on her boyfriend for 5000 Pounds also since you would be filing the case against him after your break up so Ronald can portray it as your attempt to get revenge from him. Even if the case processes you will get your money after a very long time."

"What nonsense?" Megan couldn't believe this.

"Meg, I know how the system works in cases like these."

"So? I should let go of my hard earned money?" Megan questioned him in anger.

"Of course not but give me five minutes, let me think of something."

Megan pouted and got upset that she can't file a case against Ronald..

Jimmy quickly called someone and asked him to get all information on Ronald and that too within half an hour.

"Who did you call?" Megan asked him.

"We have some people who find information on other people we ask them to, this is usually done if we are planning to work with new people or we are hiring someone, mostly for background checking."

"You can get information in half an hour?"

"Usually it takes longer than that if people involved are big shots but your ex-boyfriend is a common man so it won't take much time to dig some dirt on him, no offence."

"None taken"

Around forty minutes later, Jimmy again received a call
