"A Ferrari car? Are you sure you want to buy that car? It's our latest release. It costs 5 million dollars," the salesman said doubtfully.Rachel looked sharply at Shawn. She couldn't understand what Shawn had chosen. Rachel knew that Shawn was experiencing the euphoria of beating Taylor in a bet, but buying such an expensive car was too much.He pulled Shawn's arm and brought his face close to Shawn's ear. "Can you think a little, Shawn? You're going to be my husband soon. Wouldn't it be better if you learned how to manage your money? You can't buy a car that expensive, you don't have enough money! Are you going to embarrass me before we even get married? Please don't provoke me at a time like this!"Batou watched them. When he focused his gaze on Rachel, he became mesmerized by Rachel's beauty and the slender woman's body. He even smiled a little when he looked at such a beautiful woman. However, he wondered why the woman was getting close to Shawn.Batou asked, "Miss, why are you w
"Why does a poor man like him get so worked up just because he has a beautiful fiancée? Shawn's no good at all," Batou grumbled with a glare at Shawn.Shawn's demeanor today is not what it used to be when he shared an office with Batou and Fero. He was more arrogant and more annoying. He even dared to say something like that. Maybe he has become a big-headed person since he got a partner like Rachel.Shawn used to keep quiet when Batou and Fero bullied him, but this time he was even willing to lie to defend his honor. In fact, according to Batou, Shawn was very weak and very poor compared to him. Of course, Shawn's bluff annoyed Batou.Batou glared and furrowed his brows. Looking sharply at Shawn, he said, "That's impossible. A Ferrari is not something that someone like you can easily own. Your bluff is lame, Shawn. It's not realistic. You're digging your own grave just to feel embarrassed. You should think clearly, so that your future wife doesn't cancel your engagement."Before they
"How did this happen?" Batou muttered in disbelief at what he had just seen.Basically, Batou was talking about the bet just to make fun of Shawn because Batou knew that Shawn was a person with no money. Batou saw it as an opportunity to humiliate Shawn, so Batou immediately offered a bet that he could win. Otherwise, there was no way Batou would want to embarrass himself by betting on something so obscure.However, things were not as Batou had expected. I don't know how Shawn could afford that Ferrari. Since when did he become a lot of money? In such a short period of time?Batou smiled at Shawn. "Ah, Shawn. The bet was just a small game. Why do we have to do that kind of thing, right? We're not kids anymore. We shouldn't do something like that. I'm just playing a little game with you since we haven't seen each other for a while."Those doubtful words made Shawn cluck his mouth. It was all nonsense from Batou to avoid the bet he had made. He casually said that it was all just a game.
"Crazy...," said a man with bulging eyes as he sat in front of Shawn. Shawn calmly drank the cappuccino latte he had ordered earlier.This afternoon, Shawn had a meeting with Jerome, a good friend of his. They used to work at the same restaurant, right before Shawn became a taxi driver. Shawn used to share a lot of stories with this person, so they became close friends. You could say that they shared almost all of their problems.Shawn's meeting with Jerome was the first time after three months of not contacting each other. To Jerome's surprise this time, Shawn took him to Cafe Mooondset, an expensive cafe in the city. As far as Jerome knew, Shawn usually only took him to small food stalls with cheap prices.Jerome said, "Shawn, after being out of touch for a few days, you show up like this. Is it because of your mom and dad again?"Shawn replied, "Yes. Even Ryan got involved again."Jerome frowned, he tilted his head with an annoyed look. "As I suspected, they are very unnatural, Sha
Shawn saw Jerome's father lying comatose on a bed with an IV and several breathing machines. Jerome's father was like this because of the accident he had been involved in.Jerome looked worried as he stood up to see his father who was unconscious. "This is how my father is now, Shawn. I'm doing everything I can to help him recover quickly."Shawn nodded. He understood that it must be hard for Jerome to do so. The cost of hospitalization was not cheap for a low-wage worker like Jerome, let alone the condition of Jerome's father who needed oxygen.Shawn said, "You did well, Jerome. Your father can survive until now thanks to your efforts. Your efforts were not in vain."Jerome smiled bitterly at that. Even though he knew that Shawn said that to comfort him, Jerome still appreciated it. "Thank you, Shawn. However, my father's condition has not improved, Shawn. The doctor told us to operate on him, but the operation costs a lot of money."Shawn immediately asked, "How much will the surger
Shawn frowned and glared at Hector. Then Shawn said, "If the person who performed the surgery on Jeremiah was someone like you, the result would not have been safe. Jeremiah is my friend's father, I can't let a drunk perform surgery on him. Bring me a more useful doctor!"Hector clucked his mouth. "We are doctors, we have an oath to save people's lives. Do you think we can't do the surgery? Cut the crap and wait quietly. Everything will be fine, I've done this kind of surgery many times and all the patients I've treated have always recovered. You don't need to worry."Hektor made a hand gesture to tell Shawn and Jerome to get out of the place. He even casually turned his back on them.Shawn felt that these doctors were different from what Hector had said earlier. They seemed to underestimate the safety of Jeremiah Hopple. Then Shawn said, "Do you think you can get away with saying that? Anyone would doubt the ability of a person who drinks alcohol. Drunk people don't always have good
"What did you say?" Jerome wrinkled his forehead, confused by Hector's sudden outburst.Hector himself continued to hold his face as if he had actually been hit by Jerome. "Ah! This guy is crazy, why did you hit the doctor at the hospital?"Hector's scream made the people in the crowd look at them and start to get furious with Jerome. Their gazes were angry because they were consumed by Hector's words.They whispered to each other, "Is there a fight here?""Yes, did you see that the doctor fell down several times? That guy must be fighting with the doctor.""That's terrible. Do those people have no ethics? They're making a scene in the hospital. There are many people who need peace here. How could he beat up a doctor!"Jerome opened his eyes wide in confusion as he was already trapped in this situation. It turned out that this was Hector's subterfuge.Jerome said, "I didn't touch you at all, Doctor! I have no reason whatsoever to do such a thing."Hector retorted, "So this is how you
Shawn stared with a slight squint at the manager. Because what he said was not something Shawn could fully believe, especially since he had a chance to defend the drunk doctor.Shawn asked, "If you start deceiving me again, I--""No, sir. I'll make sure of that," the hotel manager said before Shawn could finish his sentence.Hector, Gilda, and Clark were surprised to hear that. They didn't know why the hotel manager didn't defend Hector. They looked at each other and frowned.Shawn didn't expect this to end so soon. He had intended to call Rachel and ask for a recommendation for a lawyer to resolve this matter. However, it didn't seem necessary anymore.Shawn grinned, pleased with the hotel manager's agreement. Then Shawn said, "Okay. I like it. I'll accept that if you do well. Because this is no joke to me."The manager sensed that this Shawn was different. He had such a pressing aura about him that the hospital manager felt challenging Shawn was a big mistake.However, Hector didn't
