Roger's heart skipped a beat seeing how his balance was just running backwards as if it was being reversed."Mr. Roger, what's the problem?" Lily asked after hearing him yell."My money is going, I think there's a problem with my account." Roger Anderson quickly answered.Lily walked over to look at Roger's screen. "It should be a network fault; why panic unnecessary for this?" Roger Anderson nodded, "Yes I think it might be a network problem. Let me try the company's account; one million was sent to it just a moment ago." With this, he opened the other account to transfer the money to Lily.He opened the account on his computer, and a grin appeared on his face as he saw the balance of $1 million. He had been waiting to transfer the money to Lily for a while now, and finally, it seemed like the day had come.The smile on his face vanished instantly when he was about to click the send button. Just like the first one, the money started running backwards.1 million, 800,000, 500,000, it
Roger's anger flared up hearing Lisa talk about money. "You bitch still has the face to ask me for money? How different are you from a prostitute? I'll tear your mouth out if you dare talk about money." He said coldlyLily was stunned and afraid hearing his cold, threatening voice, so she kept quiet despite the fact that she was very angry."Who did I offend that has done this to me?" Roger asked himself as he slumped into deep thought. Just then, a name crept into his head: Ethan Nightingale."Could it be that Ethan is the cause of all this?" He muttered in panic.Roger couldn't believe it. It had only been an hour ago that Ethan had dared him, but could he really be capable of something like this? The thought alone sent shivers down his spine."It couldn't be Ethan, could it? He's useless and poor. I even had sex with his wife and got him fired just minutes ago," he muttered under his breath.The mere thought of being brought down by someone like Ethan was too much for him to bear.
Thud!Roger Anderson fell to his knees with his head down, his hands clasped together in front of him. "Wow."The people around him were shocked to see someone like Roger, who had always carried himself with confidence and authority, now kneeling on the ground in front of Ethan Nightingale. Some of them took out their phones and started taking pictures."Please, Ethan, have mercy," Roger pleaded, his voice barely above a whisper.Ethan just laughed in his face."Get up, Roger. You're embarrassing yourself," he said with a sneer. "You should have thought about the consequences before you made that bet with me."Roger felt humiliated, defeated, and exposed. The once-powerful CEO of Nexus Global was now reduced to a begging, pitiful man in front of everyone in the restaurant.Even though Ethan had asked him to get up, he was still kneeling wanting to be forgiven.Just then, his phone started ringing, he hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should answer, but ultimately picked up the
Roger gritted his teeth angrily as he gave Ethan a cold stare. If stares were as sharp as blades, then Ethan would have been sliced into pieces for a long time."It seems Mr. Roger is annoyed, what if I change it to a year?" Ethan said "No, I'm not angry." Roger forced a smile and said, "What about the debt I'm owing? 1 million, which was deposited into my account this morning, was taken away by you. Every life savings of mine has also been taken away by you. Please raise your hands and help me out on this; otherwise, I might sell my properties to pay and sleep under the bridge."Ethan sneered at him and said, "Mr. Roger, are you accusing me of stealing from you? If I should call the police right now and they ask you to provide evidence, are you sure you would be able to provide?" He asked coldly while still enjoying his meal.Roger frowned in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer. Even though it was clear that Ethan was the person behind everything, there was no evidence against h
Cory's voice sounded relieved as he responded, "Ethan, where are you? I just got back in town.""I'm at the saloon." Ethan replied, mentioning the name of the saloon.Cory sounded confused as he responded, "What? That's the biggest salon in Ashville, right? So what are you doing there? Oh, don't tell me you went to deliver things there."Ethan chuckled lightly and began to explain, "I did not come to deliver anything, I just came to-"But he couldn't finish his words as the call suddenly hung up. Ethan shook his head and said to himself, "This guy doesn't even have enough money to buy airtime.""I can't be picking up cabs all the time; I should get myself a car now." Ethan muttered with a smile.He placed his phone back in his pocket and walked down the street to pick up a cab. Ethan picked up a cab and asked the driver to take him to the nearest car dealership. After a few minutes of driving, they arrived at a massive 4S shop, complete with a showroom.The place was teeming with c
There was a sudden silence in the car as it hit the wall. Some people who had just entered the showroom were shocked and started to gather around to watch. They were all muttering in shock about who would crash a brand new BMW M8.The sales lady quickly opened her eyes and got down to check the crashed car. As she got down to check the car, she saw that the front bumper was dented, the headlights were cracked, and the grille was partially detached. There were some scratches on the hood as well.As the sales lady saw the scratch on the BMW M8, her face turned red with anger. She immediately ordered Ethan to get out of the car and started yelling at him, "What have you done? Damn you, look at the scratch you made, this car is worth a fortune!"Ethan, feeling frustrated, replied, "I'll pay for the damage, just tell me how much it is."The sales lady continued to yell, "You can't afford it! You came here in a cab so you have no idea how much this car is worth. I'm going to call the police
He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm despite the humiliating words and sneers from the onlookers. He turned to the sales lady and said, "Just give me the price of the car and your payment address. I'll pay for it."The sales lady looked at him with disbelief and sneered, "You can't afford this car, even if you worked your entire life."Ethan's anger boiled over. "Would you stop wasting my time and give me the price and address?"The sales lady hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the price: "The original price of this BMW M8 is $200,000."Ethan took out his phone and opened his mobile banking app."Fine, I'll make the payment right now."The onlookers burst into laughter, thinking that Ethan was just putting on a show. They whispered among themselves, saying things like "He's just a poor boy trying to act rich" and "Who does he think he's fooling?"The sales lady rolled her eyes and handed Ethan a piece of paper with the payment address. "Go ahead, make the payment.
"Gasp!"Ethan's reply to the manager shocked the saleslady and the few people left standing around."Does this guy have a metal plate in his head? How can he speak to the manager like that?" Someone whisperedThe manager was also annoyed hearing Ethan's reply."How dare you speak to the manager like that, do you know who he is?" The saleslady asked coldly."I'm here to make a purchase, not to know the identities of people." Ethan replied calmlyThe saleslady sneered and was about to say something else, but the manager raised his hand and asked her to stop. He turned to Ethan and asked."Since you've destroyed a car here, tell me how you're going to pay for it." He asked"Bring your machine I'll swipe my card and make payments." Ethan answeredThe saleslady frowned upon hearing Ethan say he wanted to swipe a card."Manager, trust me, he'll just waste your time; he tried the same nonsense a few minutes ago and pretended to make a transfer, but he later gave an excuse."The manager's mou
