Chapter 21 You Made Me Lose!

At this moment, Joshua had already dialed Daniel's number.

"Didn't I already tell you that I can't help you with that one billion loan? Why are you still calling me?" Daniel's impatient voice came through the phone.

"It's not about that, Daniel, let me explain. My grandfather said that the one billion loan won't be provided, but Fusion Global will lend us one billion and promise to give a fifty million dowry. Then, my second aunt will take Charlotte to divorce, and once she receives the dowry from Daniel, we can bring Charlotte back home."

"Really?" Daniel was quite surprised.

"I wouldn't lie to you."

"Alright, I'll talk to my dad and prepare the loan contract to bring to your company."

"No, we're at Charlotte's house. Daniel just needs to bring the loan contract to Charlotte's place. I want that useless person to know that even without him, we can still borrow one billion!" Joshua glanced triumphantly at Michael.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Click...

Daniel hung up the phone.

"What did Daniel say?" Sophia asked eagerly when she saw Joshua put away his phone.

Joshua smiled triumphantly. "Daniel said he will bring the loan contract over soon, and once we sign the contract, the money will be transferred. You won't be short of the dowry."

"That's great!"

Sophia was ecstatic, urging Charlotte, "

After signing the contract in a little while, you must listen to Mom and go with her to process the divorce. It would be so good to marry into a wealthy family. You would live in a luxurious mansion, drive luxury cars, and have plenty of money to spend. It's a billion times better than marrying this useless idiot!"

Charlotte was furious; she shouted at Michael, "Didn't you say we won't lose this game? And what happened? We lost miserably, and I lost everything!"

"Or maybe you don't want this family anymore and intentionally want to drive me away?"

"If that's what you think, fine, let's get divorced, and I never want to see you again!"

Her eyes turned red, and she tightly clenched her fists, appearing on the verge of bursting into tears. She even had the impulse to hit Michael to death.

"Daniel can't come up with one billion, so I won't lose. Just be patient and wait for the result. Trust me," Michael said softly.

"Hahaha!!!"

Joshua burst into laughter, "You, a stinking poor guy, think one billion is a lot, huh? Let me tell you, one billion is an astronomical number in your eyes, but for Daniel, it's almost the same as a hundred bucks in your eyes."

"And what if Daniel can't come up with it?" Michael asked coldly.

"If Daniel can't, then I'll call you dad!" Joshua sneered.

"Okay." Michael nodded. "Remember what you said."

...

Half an hour later, Daniel arrived at Charlotte's house with two contracts in hand.

"Daniel, please sit down quickly!"

Seeing Daniel, Sophia was even more excited than a young girl meeting her idol. She hurriedly went up to him, smiling from ear to ear, and couldn't stop talking.

"Daniel is truly outstanding. He is exactly the ideal son-in-law in my heart, unlike that useless guy. Whenever I see him, I get a headache."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to give Michael a meaningful glance for him to understand.

Michael wasn't angry either because he had long been accustomed to Sophia praising Daniel. His ears were calloused from hearing it.

"Haha, Aunt Sophia, don't worry. Once Charlotte divorces him, I will give you a generous betrothal gift. Then Aunt Sophia can be happy every day," Daniel said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right. We are looking forward to that day coming soon!" Sophia couldn't stop smiling, and all the way, she held onto Daniel's arm until he sat on the sofa, then she let go.

"Daniel, you brought the contract so quickly. You're really efficient!" Joshua came forward and gave a thumbs-up.

"It concerns Charlotte, how can I not be attentive?" Daniel placed the contract on the table and only then noticed Joshua's swollen face. He immediately frowned and asked, "What happened to your face?"

"I get so angry when I think about this!" Joshua angrily pointed at Michael, saying, "That damn useless guy got a big client's gold card, acting all high and mighty, and then he brought up a bunch of harsh conditions to my grandfather. I expressed my dissatisfaction, and he ended up beating me like this. It really infuriates me!"

"That's too much!" Daniel pretended to be indignant. "Before he divorces Charlotte, you're at least his brother-in-law. He even hit his own brother-in-law. What kind of person is he?"

"He's not even human!" Joshua gritted his teeth. "Daniel, when you become my brother-in-law, you better help me vent my anger!"

"Don't worry, with just one phone call, I can gather dozens of people for you," Daniel reassured, patting his chest.

"Haha! Then I'll bring those dozens of people and take care of him directly, letting him hit me!" Joshua said, looking triumphantly at Michael and showing off, "Did you hear that? Daniel can gather dozens of people with just one phone call. Tell me, are you afraid or not?"

"If you're afraid, kneel down now and kowtow to me three times, let me hit you back, and I won't bother with you anymore. Otherwise, I promise I'll send you directly to the morgue!"

"Don't go too far!" Before Michael could speak, Charlotte scolded.

"When he hit me, why didn't you say he went too far?" Joshua retorted unhappily.

"Charlotte is about to become my wife. Don't speak to her so rudely," Daniel glared at Joshua.

"Charlotte, look, Daniel really cares about you," Sophia chimed in.

Charlotte turned her head to the side, staring angrily at Michael.

She resented Michael for losing a winning hand, making her lose to a man she disliked.

"It's only natural for a husband to care for his wife," Daniel boasted, giving Michael a smug look. He then turned to Gary Wright and said, "Mr. Harris, take a look at the contract. If there are no issues, sign and seal it. I'll have my father inform the finance department to transfer one billion to you."

Gary Wright repeatedly agreed and picked up the contract to examine it.

Other than the four percent interest, which made him flinch, everything else seemed fine.

However, for business people, a four percent interest rate was not particularly high. There were loans with five or six percent interest rates. It was just that compared to the interest-free loan of one billion from Michael, borrowing this one billion would incur four million in monthly interest and forty-eight million in interest for a year.

"He's using the interest money to marry Charlotte!"

Gary Wright thought to himself.

Give fifty million as the dowry and receive forty-eight million in interest back, which was equivalent to spending two million to marry Charlotte.

He would actually be losing money in the end.

"The Wang family is truly a business-oriented family!"

No matter how he thought about it, he felt he was at a loss.

But compared to Michael.

In comparison, he still preferred Daniel as his grandson-in-law, so even if he suffered a little loss, he could still make it up in the future by becoming related to the Wang family.

Therefore, he directly signed his name on the contract, conveniently bringing his official seal along, and stamped it on the contract. He kept one copy for himself and gave one to Daniel.

"I'll notify my father to arrange the payment."

Daniel took out his phone without hesitation.

As soon as Joshua heard this, he became ecstatic and proudly said to Michael, "Deadbeat, didn't you say Daniel couldn't come up with a hundred million? Now you're dumbfounded, aren't you?"

"What? He said I couldn't come up with a hundred million?" Daniel was about to dial his father's number when he heard Joshua's words, and immediately looked at Michael.

"Yes, Daniel," Joshua chuckled. "This idiot thought a hundred million was a lot. He said Daniel couldn't come up with so much money to lend to our Carter family. At that time, it almost made me die laughing."

"Haha!"

Daniel burst into laughter. "Do you think I'm a social parasite like you? A hundred million may seem like a lot to you, too much to imagine. But to me, it's about the same as a hundred bucks in your eyes. Do you really think I couldn't come up with a hundred million to lend to the Carter family? It's truly laughable!"

"If I say you can't, then you can't," Michael replied with a confident tone.

"Haha!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it sparked a roar of laughter.

Even Charlotte couldn't help but punch Michael, feeling frustrated. "P&G has assets in the billions, with abundant funds. Taking out a hundred million for interest is way more profitable than selling a batch of products. How could they not come up with a hundred million!"

"Believe me, he definitely can't," Michael insisted.

Charlotte rolled her eyes and no longer wanted to talk to Michael. She found it exhausting to talk to someone who hadn't done business before.

"Then just wait and see. Today, I'll show you, you pitiful pauper, how I can make an extra hundred million appear in Wright Group's account with just one phone call!"

Daniel said, dialing his father's number directly.

The call was answered quickly.

"Dad, the contract has been signed. You can arrange for the finance department to make the payment now." Daniel propped up one leg, looking smugly at Michael, and spoke in a pretentious manner.

Unexpectedly, he received a string of furious curses as a response.

"Make what payment? Just now, Citibank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of Communications... all called and demanded early repayment. Otherwise, they'll take the collateral and auction it off. We have debts of nearly eight or nine billion. Where are we going to find so much money all at once!"
