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
Even though he couldn't do the transaction on his phone, he knew the card swipe was going to work."Ding!" The machine beeped, showing a successful transaction. Everything happened in just three seconds."What the hell?" The saleslady muttered in shock. It only took three seconds for a payment of $200,000 to show as successful. That alone made her think there was something wrong with the machine because normally it takes a minute for a transaction to be successful, and secondly, there was no way Ethan could have even $50,000 in his account.Thinking of this, she refreshed the machine twice, but to her utmost surprise, it was still the same, showing a history of a successful $200,000 transaction.Ethan, who had seen what she was doing, raised his phone and showed the screen to her."Stop refreshing the machine; it's wasting my time, the payment is successful, and this is the message." He said angrilyThe saleslady raised her head to look at Ethan's phone screen."Gasp!" A shock from n
Immediately the door was opened, her best friend Charlotte, whom Ethan made a bet with the other time at the hotel who walked in."Lily, why do you look so frustrated?" She askedLily sighed and said, "Charlotte it's just the same situation, my company is now at it's breakdown stage, I'm loosing workers and my debt keeps on increasing." She repliedCharlotte chuckled lightly before saying, "Don't tell me you're still in debt when you divorced that trash for Mr. Anderson."Hearing Charlotte mention Roger's name pissed Lily off."That bastard of a man Roger, he refused to give me the money he promised and even called me a slut," Lily said, frustration evident in her voice as she explained everything that had happened to her.Charlotte frowned sympathetically. "I didn't expect that to happen even after the sex you both had. It will be okay, Lily."Lily nodded. "I hope so.""That reminds me, Lily. Do you know who I saw at Luxuria Hotel yesterday?" Charlotte asked.Lily furrowed her brow.
