Haylan looked at Mrs. Labenz and Harry. His mind quickly got down to work as he began to plot a trap for those two people.
âYes, yes, yes. Your grandma is right. Youâre very talented. Donât give up. Harry nodded.
Mrs. Labenz and Harry wanted to see the Jaber family go bankrupt and lose their big house. They would love to gloat over their misery. Only then could they have the chance to buy the emerald pendant from Felicia at a low price.
Haylan pretended to be motivated with no intention of quitting. He said, âYou are right. I do not want to give up, too. However, I donât have the money to invest in stocks now.â
âHow about this? Since Grandma and Uncle Harry have the means to immigrate overseas, you guys must be wealthy. Why you lend me money to help me tide over my situation?â
donât Mrs. Labenz and Harry were stunned at Haylanâs request.
âHow much do you want to borrow?â Mrs. Labenz asked.
Haylan smiled and put up his fingers. âNot much. Just six million dollars!â
âIf you can loan me six million dollars, I will make 60 million dollars!â
âWhat? Haylan, are you crazy?â Mrs. Labenzâs expression changed drastically.
âGrandma, Iâve been monitoring that stock for a long time. Itâll definitely make a lot of money!â
Haylan said confidently, âAs you mentioned. Iâm talented in this aspect. So you must believe me. Iâll definitely make a comeback!â
âBesides, Grandma and Uncle Harry, Iâm your relative. Donât tell me you are not willing to lend me some money?â
âOr were you lying just now when you said you believed me?â
Upon hearing this, the look on Mrs. Labenz and Harry Labenzâs faces immediately became contorted, as if they had just swallowed something foul.
They had wanted to dupe Haylan into a pit hole, but did not expect him to turn around and ask them for money.
And now they had put themselves in a difficult situation. They did not want to lend Haylan the money, but it would not look good on them if they rejected him.
It was six million dollars!
With the Jaberâs family current financial situation, there was no way they could pay back this sum of money if Haylan lost them in the stock market.
Besides, they were preparing to immigrate now. They still needed money to get settled down when they reached Whileal Kingdom. How could they loan money out this easily?
Haylan found their flustered expressions funny and tried to restrain his laughter. âGrandma, Uncle Harry, Iâve been eyeing that stock for a long time. Please lend me the money.â
âNo, wait. Weâre all relatives, and Iâm your junior. Isnât it inappropriate for me to borrow money from you?â
âHow about this? Why donât you guys treat the six million dollars as an investment? If I managed to make 60 million dollars. I will split half with you!â
âThatâs 30 million dollars. If you exchange it for Whileal Kingdomâs currency, it is at least 20 million dollars. That should be enough to last you for a long time.â
Mrs. Labenzâs and Harryâs faces darkened.
In their eyes, Haylan was a good-for-nothing security guard with a debt of 200 thousand dollars. Yet, he kept talking about earning millions of money. Such arrogance and egoism. He was doomed for failure.
And he dared ask them to invest in him. What wistful thinking.
They knew that they would lose all the money if they ever invested in him.
Most importantly, Haylan had told them it was an investment instead of a loan. That meant that even if he lost all the money, he need not pay it back.
That was daylight robbery!
What a scheme Haylan had come up with. It was a shame he did not make scamming people his livelihood.
Mrs. Labenz glanced at Felicia, who was standing at the side. As she had yet to obtain Feliciaâs emerald pendant, she did not want to offend Haylan. Hence, she could only suppress her displeasure and disdain and said, âHaylan, itâs good that youâre confident, but you have to be down-
to-earth.â
âHow about this? Grandma will give you 20 thousand dollars. You can use this money to slowly invest in the stock market and accumulate your funds, alright?â
âNo, Grandma, thatâs a 60-million-dollar deal. Donât you want to invest? I thought you trust me?
Then you have to support me!â Haylan insisted.
Mrs. Labenzâs face was even grimmer than before.
âSupport you?â
âIf I support you, what will happen to my plans to immigrate to Whileal Kingdom?â
âWe are talking about 60 million dollars! Who do you think you are?â
âSome stock market genius?â
âDo you need to become a surveillance officer to monitor surveillance cameras after you lost that money? Do you want me to pretend to be a cleaner to attract peopleâs attention?â Mrs. Labenz was scolding Haylan in her mind.
Harry stood up and nodded at Haylan with a smile. âWell, Haylan, six million dollars is not a small amount. Iâll discuss it with your Grandma first before giving you an answer.â
After he said that, he pulled Mrs. Labenz up and the two of them went to a remote corner to discuss âMom, why donât we invest 200 thousand dollars in him?â Harry suggested.
âAre you crazy? Are you really going to give him money?â Mrs. Labenz frowned.
Why should she give Haylan 200 thousand dollars for no reason?
âMom, you need to make sacrifices to make big money.
Harry elaborated with a devious look, âWeâll first give Haylan that sum of money. Then, when he loses all the money, weâll find an excuse and say that because we wanted to help Haylan, our company has run into financial difficulties and is on the verge of bankruptcy,â
âThis way, we can fool Felicia into handing over that emeraldâ
Mrs. Labenzâs eyes lit up when she heard that.
This method was indeed feasible.
Mrs. Labenz chuckled and said, âYou still have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Alright, letâs do this. We must get that emerald from Felicia before we go overseas.â
Meanwhile, Felicia was alone with Haylan in the living room of the villa.
Felicia pulled Haylan into the kitchen and whispered in a low voice, âHaylan, arenât you going too far?â
âIt is rare that your Grandma and Uncle Harry will visit us. How can you borrow money from them?
You even ask for six million dollars. Do you think it is easy for anyone to make that much money?â
Haylan remained collected as he took a bottle of cola from the fridge. âMom, canât you tell? Theyâre here for your emerald pendant. They donât really care about you.â
âNonsense. Didnât you see the gifts your Uncle Harry brought with him? I saw them just now.
Theyâre all branded.â
âBranded? Well, with their character, they will never bring anything nice to us. Letâs open the gifts later. I can guarantee they have merely disguised inferior products under all those pretty packagingsâ
âHaylan, I understand if you are biased against your grandma and uncle, but weâre a family. Your grandmaâs blood flows in my veins. They might look down on us, but they definitely wonât harm us,â
Felicia said.
âMom, youâre too kind. Although they are related to you by blood, they harbor evil intentions and wish for your downfall. They cannot wait for our family to go bankrupt.â
Haylan slipped on his cola and continued emotionlessly, âSuch wicked relatives are sometimes more terrifying than a known enemy.â
âThey enjoy dominance and supremacy. When they saw how miserable we were, they did not pity us. They only mocked us.â
âAnd when they see us doing better than them, they go green with envy and hope for us to go bankrupt.â
As he said, Haylan took some herbal medicine from the fridge and crushed them into powder. He then placed them in his pocket.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Flow can your grandma and uncle be such people?â Felicia rebuked.
âMom, be careful. Thatâs just the way they are,â Haylan said.
Felicia opened her mouth and wanted to say something in reply to Haylan.
At this moment, Mrs. Labenz and Harry walked over.
Felicia had no choice but to stop talking. She could only glare at Haylan.
âGrandma, Uncle Harry, have you guys thought about it?â Haylan looked at the two of them with a smile.
âHaylan, how about this? Grandma will lend you 200 thousand dollars. Uncle will also invest 400 thousand dollars in you. That is a total of 600 thousand dollars. You can play the stock market with this money slowly. When the profits roll in, you can then share them with us. Okay?â Harry said.
âBut that is not enoughâ Haylan pretended to look troubled.
âHaylan, your grandma and I donât have that much money either. We can only fork out 600 thousand dollars in cash. If you donât want it, then we will keep the money then. Harry negotiated.
âAlright, alright, alright. I will take it. Haylan hurriedly said.
Mrs. Labenz and Harry were delighted that Haylan took the bait.
They thought Hayan had some talent, but as it turned out, he was just a piece of trash addicted to playing with stocks. People like him were the easiest to manipulate.
Harry smiled and said, âAlright, send me your bank account number. Iâll transfer 600 thousand dollars to you Haylan told Harry his account number.
now!â
Moments later, the 600 thousand dollars were transferred to his account.
Haylan saw the transaction and beamed with joy. âAlright. Thank you, Grandma and Uncle Harry.â
âYou guys are really too good to me. Wait a moment, Iâll bring some coffee for you now to express my gratitude.â
After saying that, he immediately walked to the living room and poured two cups of coffee. He took the powdered drugs from his pocket and emptied them into the coffee, stirring them so that the drug mixed with the coffee.
Once done, he handed the two cups of coffee to Mrs. Labenz and Harry. âThank you, Grandma and Uncle Harry. Here are your coffees.â
