Chapter 151 Humiliation
After all, Skylar and Kevin had arranged their marriage. They were also supposed to hold their wedding soon.
Rupert patted his thigh and asked, “Do you want to sit here?”
Jennifer shook her head, standing still. “Mr. Rodriguez, please just tell me that can you give me a few more days to settle that?”
Rupert broke into a laugh. “You look like you’re afraid of me.”
Jennifer tried to calm herself down. “No. I’m just not used to such an occasion.”
Rupert lifted his arm to look at his watch. “Let me tell you clearly. You have 3 hours left until the deadline for the payment. I know you’re short of money now, but it’s okay. You have a lot of choices here tonight. How about I introduce them to you accordingly?”
Jennifer remained silent. Upon seeing that, Rupert continued, “I don’t have to introduce Mr. Ono and Mr. Sanders to you, right? You’ve met them before.”
Then, he pointed at the Yartran man in his suit. “This is Shima Nagakawa, the president of Pollerton Hidden Arts Association. He’s powerful and rich.”
Shima glanced at Jennifer coldly. It seemed like he was uninterested in greeting her.
“As for this man, he’s Jim’s cousin, Jay Carter.” Rupert pointed at the man with a potbelly. “All the people here today are filthy rich. They are able to give you a hundred million, at least.”
“So?” Jennifer asked.
“So, you have many options here. You can choose to stay by my side for a year to clear your debt. Also, you can try borrowing money from them. As long as you’re capable enough, they’ll be willing to help you.” Rupert chuckled.
Jennifer’s expression changed drastically. She had long known that they were up to no good.
With that, the men turned to look at her curiously.
Jennifer took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry. Your conditions are too harsh for me.”
Rupert continued staring at her as he put on an innocent look. “It’s okay. You don’t have any choices either. After midnight, I’ll kill your entire family if I don’t receive the payment.”
Hearing that, Jennifer’s face went pale.
Although one might not believe what Rupert said, Jennifer knew he was telling the truth. After all, she had watched the video of how Rupert killed and skinned a man on a USB back then.
Therefore, she did not doubt the authenticity of Rupert’s words.
“Jennifer, why don’t you try borrowing money from them?” Skylar asked out of the blue.
A man was rubbing her back, but she remained unbothered.
“You can’t rely on anyone now. We all know that Donald can’t help you this time. He can’t even protect himself since he’s the outcast of the Campbell family. Everyone knows the attitude of the Campbell family toward the outcast,” Yvette added, “He’s just a piece of trash, anyway. Why don’t you just borrow money from these people? That’s not a big deal.”
The next moment, she leaned closer to Akio’s ear and whispered, “You don’t know who she is, do you? She’s Donald’s ex-wife. But then, Donald has never laid a finger on her, so she’s still a virgin.”
A glint of light flashed across Akio’s eyes as soon as he heard that. He pointed at Jennifer, saying, “I don’t mind lending you some.”
Jennifer was stunned. She could not help but look at Akio. “Thank you very much. How much is the interest? I’ll pay you back the full amount within a year.”
Akio waved his hand. “I don’t need any interest. I’ll lend you money for a year, but you have to play a game called ‘The Wheel of Fortune’ with me throughout the year!”
Jennifer was puzzled. She did not understand what was that game about.
Yvette giggled cheekily before explaining it to her.
Jennifer’s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
What? I can’t believe that there’s such a shameless game!
“I can also provide you with an interest-free loan. But, I want to join The Wheel of Fortune too!” Jay interrupted.
Jennifer’s eyes turned teary. Just then, she felt like she was an animal being humiliated by the others.
Stark despair and utter helplessness inundated her.
However, the men fixated their eyes on her while smiling gleefully. The more helpless she looked, the more excited they were.
