The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 55

Clinton had lost his mind at this moment. 2

He didn't want to be humiliated by Charlie the loser in front of his friends.

So, he bit his lips, grabbed the fireworks from Douglas, and threw them into his car.

Then, as he picked up a lighter and grabbed the end of the firework, he shouted, "Look here, all of you! I'm not a sore loser! I don't need Charlie's sympathy!"

Then, he lit the lighter and lit the fireworks!

In an instant, the fireworks were ignited and burst into cracks in the car!

At first, flames were burning inside the car, but very soon, the car was filled with thick white smoke. The sound of the constantly exploding fireworks made Clinton's heart bleeding in agony, but it made the onlookers extremely excited and thrilled. 2

Many of them took out their phones to record the bizarre scene. They planned to post these videos online to share it with the netizens.

The 3-meter fireworks continuously exploded and popped and soon, the cushion seats of the BMW 540 were blown up. The seats were filled with a lot of flammable sponges, very soon, these sponges caught On fire with the help of the ignition by the fireworks. 1

No one had expected to see the fireworks igniting the car. Furthermore, it was filled with white smoke and impossible to see if it had caught fire. 2

However, when the explosion of the fireworks was about to end and the smoke slowly dispersed, suddenly, a spark exploded and the entire compartment was caught on fire!

A loud and shrill shriek resonated across the street, Clinton blurted in a panic. "Oh my! F*ck! The fire! Help!" 2

Initially, he thought that the fireworks would only damage the seats and the interior. He could just fork out tens or even hundreds of thousands to repair the car.

Never did he expect that the fireworks would cause an explosion and set fire to the car! 4

He shouted desperately, but no one was able to help him put out the fire. He frantically called the firefighters and watched helplessly as the fire slowly burned and swallowed his car whole. 1 When the fire truck came eventually, what's left on the spot was the frame of the burned BMW 540. One could not even recognize that it was once a BMW based on the frame alone. 1

Clinton slumped on the ground, helplessly looking at his beloved BMW turn to ashes, his heart was bleeding painfully. 1

If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have provoked Charlie and suggested street racing even if someone pointed a gun at his head. 2

Not only did it soil his reputation, but he had also lost his car in the process... 3

There was not much of an expression on Douglas's face but he found the whole scene rather amusing and gave Charlie a thumbs up quietly. 2

Then, he turned to Clinton and said, "Hey, buddy, don't be so sad. It's about time, why don't we go in for dinner?" 4

After what happened, Clinton wanted to leave immediately, but on second thought, it would mean that Charlie had totally won! He wouldn't have that! 5

Charlie was the main reason why his car had suffered a total loss. No matter what, he had to revive his reputation by all means! 2

Hence, he stood up, cleared his throat to calm himself, and said, "There's nothing to be sad of! A bet is a bet, I'm just honoring it, that's all." 2

The guys that were coaxing him earlier quickly added, "Clinton is so rich, what's a BMW to him anyway?"

"Yes! For him, it's just a normal car for the daily commute!"

They knew about Clinton's arrogant character, so they stopped mentioning the matter in unison and entered the restaurant with Douglas for the opening ceremony. 2

In the restaurant, several banquet tables had been set up in the main hall. Banners celebrating the reunion and the opening of the restaurant were hung on the small stage in front.
