Hearing this, Susan realized it made sense. She apologized awkwardly, "Sorry, I was too blunt. Mr. Douglas is the rising star of the new generation in Emerald City, your methods must be extraordinary." Seeing this, Douglas secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Crisis averted. But the next second, Jason calmly continued, "Then I presume you must also know Mr. Hill?""Mr. Hill? What?" Douglas cursed internally, but saw Susan excitedly stand up and cry out joyfully, "Mr. Douglas, you know Mr. Hill too? Could it be...my billion dollar investment was also thanks to you lobbying for me?"She had always wondered about this matter, and had suspected the "old friend", but didn't expect it to really be so!Seeing her excitement, Douglas hastily smiled modestly, "Just small favors, didn't expect you to find out. Mr. Hill is actually a long-time friend of mine. We had dinner together the day before yesterday. Our relationship is great."Who cares who the Sir is, just agree to everything now. The
"What?" Everyone was shocked hearing this.Scanning the entire cafe, there were only the four of them. It definitely wasn't Susan or Mr. Hill, and aside from Douglas, the only one left was... the leisurely Jason!That most improbable, unbelievable person?"It's... him?"Upon hearing this, Douglas laughed uproariously, mocking, "Utterly ridiculous, preposterous! This useless fool couldn't even help without messing up. I admit I'm not that 'old friend', but it certainly isn't this useless fool either.""You pretend to be serious, but your lies are even more outrageous than mine. If he really was that 'old friend', I'll immediately... wash my hair!" Hearing this, Susan's expression also changed, giving Jason an odd look as if reassessing him.But under everyone's gaze, Jason helplessly smiled wryly, "Mr. Hill, you praise me too much. I merely happened to meet Mr. Hill by chance, knew Susan needed investment, so I connected the dots. "The success of Southside Branch is entirely Susan
Jason was so angry he almost wanted to curse out loud, itching to explain everything to Susan.He had to remember Emily's endless exhortations for him to keep it a secret no matter what, otherwise once her identity as a Cook family heiress was exposed, it would definitely cause estrangement between her and Susan. Their pure friendship would become difficult to regain.After all, one stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, while the other stood at the base. This disparity in status was too great."It looks like you're finally willing to admit it. Go on, choose. No matter what you pick, I won't blame you," Susan said indifferently. "I..." Jason was exasperated. "This is a huge misunderstanding. Let me get Emily to personally explain to you that this is all fake."But after making calls for half a day, no one picked up. It was as if everyone had gone incommunicado."Give it up. I called her dozens of times without a single answer. Emily definitely doesn't want to see this. But since it
However, the happiest one was undoubtedly Mary Martinez. She had finally caught Jason's handle, and would definitely take this chance to drive him out."What act? Stop pretending at this point. Do you think we're idiots? Freeloading in my house for three years, harboring sinister designs all along. He's no good, it'd be disastrous if he stays any longer." "Get out! Get out of my house. If you dare step in again, I'll break your legs and ruin you."Mary Martinez stood with hands on hips, cursing fiercely.But at this moment, Kyle's mother Grace Diaz, who had heard the commotion, quickly dissuaded, "Madam, please calm down. I don't think Mr. Gray is that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding here."Having lived half a lifetime, she had seen all kinds of people. She still had that much judgement. She believed Jason had an upright heart, after all he was the merciful and skilled Medical Sage. Also, if he had really done such a thing, he wouldn't be painstakingly explaining
Nothing that entered her mouth had ever come back out. After getting all of Jason's private money, she would kick him out with one foot. This was the outcome for useless things.After handing over the bank card, this farce finally temporarily died down.Jason was extremely tired, but things weren't over yet. He still had to prove his innocence. He immediately called Lawrence."Help me find someone as fast as possible. Her name is Emily..."With Lawrence's help now, some of Steven Martin's headaches and difficult matters were not even worth mentioning to Lawrence, such was the gap in their abilities.This was also why Steven Martin respectfully addressed him as Mr. Lawrence.Night fell, and Jason silently slept in the living room, letting out a helpless long sigh. Back to the living room again, when could he return to the warm bed?"Emily, hurry up and show yourself!"The night passed silently, with nary a gust of wind. Jason had slept in the living room all night. On Lawrence's end,
A gaudily dressed lady also mocked, "Nowadays there are many shameless braggarts, and many fools too. But I'm seeing people with mental issues coming to cause trouble in a bank for the first time."The uniformed beauty was also impatient. "If you're here to make trouble, don't blame me for asking security to kick you out. If you're looking for a psychiatric hospital, turn right." "How dare you! Who's making trouble? I just want to withdraw some money, what does it have to do with you? I see you're just jealous. What, can't stand seeing me have money? I live in a mansion and drive sports cars every day. $100 million is nothing!" Mary Martinez retorted arrogantly, unwilling to back down.
No matter how tempting the card was, she still believed there was no such thing as a free lunch. She absolutely could not touch the $100 million. It was likely some financial scam - her mother had already fallen for it at the investment company last time."No problem, please come with me." The manager quickly led the way respectfully. No matter what, he absolutely could not afford to offend them. That was what the bank president had warned him.Mary Martinez wanted to say more, but stopped herself. Only $1 million? But seeing the strange looks from the lady and the crowd, she cleared her throat. Let it be for now, or she'd be embarrassed if she couldn't deliver later.
Even Jason was stunned, losing himself for a long time. This was perhaps the most beautiful moment of Susan in these three years. Usually she only put on light makeup, but today she displayed her unparalleled beauty to the fullest, finally revealing the true power of the number one beauty of Emerald City. He was lucky to have married her."Let's go. You can never look enough everyday?" Susan's face reddened as she coquettishly complained.Jason foolishly smiled, "I can never look enough in a lifetime."This was absolutely true, full of affection. Listening to it, Susan couldn't help blushing...The two did leave, but Mary Martinez was troubled. Now all her thoughts were on the $1 million. The problem was Susan had put all the money in the safe. She didn't know the password to the black card, but she had peeked and seen the password to the safe. Before leaving, Susan had solemnly warned her not to mess with it or touch the money. As for the money, it would all be returned to Jason. Ho
