The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 434: The Trouble Caused by Greed
Evan Hughes pressed his temples as he spoke, "So let’s observe him for three months first. Within these three months, if he behaves well and Coralie can accept him, then we’ll settle it like that. During this time, keep a close eye on him. If he makes any mistakes, then it’s not as if I didn’t give him a chance."
The butler nodded repeatedly, "Don’t worry, sir, I’ll keep an eye on Young Master Monroe."
On the other side.
After Mason Monroe returned to his room, he still hadn’t fully recovered from the blow he had just received.
He had originally thought that since he and Coralie Hughes were already married, they would be together for life. But then Evan Hughes had given him a harsh wake-up call.
How could he possibly feel at ease?
Just as Mason Monroe was anxiously smoking cigarette after cigarette, his phone rang.
Upon picking up, the other party asked in a harsh tone, "Have you prepared the two million? Today is the last deadline. If you don’t transfer the money, be ready to receive a lawyer’s letter. See you in court! Let me remind you, I have connections in court. If it really goes to trial, you’re bound to lose!"
Mason Monroe, with a trembling voice, said, "Mr. King, could you give me a few more days? Just give me two more days, where can I get that much money?"
"That’s your problem, don’t waste words with me. Today is the final deadline. If you don’t transfer the money, be prepared to rot in prison!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
After saying this, the other party hung up the phone without giving Mason Monroe a chance to speak.
Mason Monroe was so anxious that he was spinning around on the spot.
Just then, another call came through. Mason Monroe thought it was Mr. King willing to give him a little more time, but when he answered, it was from the cheat software company.
The person on the line said right away, "We’ve been sued, and it’s going to court soon. The lawyer’s fees aren’t enough; send over five hundred thousand."
Mason Monroe, feeling overwhelmed, couldn’t help but say, "I only have fifty thousand to my name, and you want me to send five hundred thousand? Are you trying to kill me?"
The other party sneered and said, "This whole thing started because of you! If you hadn’t wanted to challenge the top rank, would the game company have caught us? You have to take responsibility for this!"
"Why do I have to take responsibility? I’m a victim too. The account owner wants me to compensate two million, and you’re not willing to pay your share, yet you demand money from me?"
"Heh, so you’re not giving money, right? Fine, I’ll arrange for someone on the forums to cripple you right now!"
Mason Monroe knew what kind of place the "forum" the other party referred to was — a terrifying place where you could pay to have someone lose an arm or a leg. If they really did that, it was no joke!
"Please..." Mason Monroe softened his tone and said, "Brother, let’s talk it out, don’t do this..."
"You’re the one forcing me. Just say it, do you want your leg, or do you want to pay the five hundred thousand?"
Mason Monroe, with a face full of despair, said, "But I really have no money..."
"Fine, then just say goodbye to your leg!"
"No! No!" Mason Monroe bit down hard and said, "I’ll go collect the money right now. Send me your account, and once I gather the money, I’ll send it to you immediately."
"Fine, five hundred thousand, not a penny less!"
After the call ended, Mason Monroe collapsed to the ground.
This really is a case of misfortunes never coming singly. He hadn’t even sorted out the issue with Coralie Hughes, and now this and that were coming to collect debts.
Mason Monroe was filled with deep regret for wanting to use cheats to challenge the top rank.
He really didn’t know who the top rank was, but the fact that the game company would conduct such a thorough investigation of cheats made him wish he’d never had that damn idea!
It was all caused by greed!
Mason Monroe racked his brains, trying to think of a solution, and suddenly remembered...
