Chapter 548 Placing Another Bet

Daniel paused, chuckled, and then suggested, “So, if you want to raise the stakes with me, let’s beton something else. I don’t need you to eat the golf ball.”

“Hah!” Maya sneered, her brain whirling as a cunning idea struck her. “Bet on something else? Fine,let’s not complicate things. Let’s just bet money. If you manage a hole-in-one again, I’ll pay you $10million. If not, you owe me $10 million.”

A money bet?

Wyatt was instantly excited at the prospect and interjected eagerly, "If we’re betting money, I want apiece of the action. But for me, the stakes have to be doubled—$20 million. If you, country boy, canget a hole-in-one on this next swing, I’ll pay you $20 million myself. If you can’t, you owe me $20million!"

Worried that Daniel might turn down the challenge, Wyatt added with an incredulous scoff, "Ofcourse, if a country bumpkin like you doesn't have the guts, you don’t have to bet with me. Iunderstand. Most you come from the countryside probably lack the nerve. No hard feelings if youdon’t dare play with me."

"You’re willing to bet $20 million with just me, Wyatt? You must be quite wealthy then?" Danielasked with a grin.

"I don’t have piles of cash, but I’m certainly richer than a country bumpkin like you! I would never bescared to gamble with you. As long as you dare to bet, I’m all in," Wyatt declared confidently.

"Well, since you put it that way, how about we make a small bet?" Daniel teased him.

"Small wager? How small are you talking about? For me, $20 million is already the absoluteminimum. Anything less is just no fun," Wyatt was provoking Daniel, eager to see just how much

Jessica was willing to fork over. She had initially mentioned a small company, and yet she couldeasily pull out over ten million.

Anyone who could nonchalantly extract more than $10 million was no minor player—her company,though small, must be of considerable scale, likely having at least a hundred employees and anannual turnover in the hundreds of millions.

Daniel responded not with words but with a gesture, showing a single finger.

Wyatt, upon seeing it, asked with a smirk, “You want to bet $10 million with me? Fine, it's a little onthe low side, but I can work with that.”

Daniel shook his head to clarify, “Not $10 million. It’s a billion!”

A billion?

That figure left everyone, except Jessica, completely flabbergasted.

Jessica knew this idiot was up to no good because, from Daniel's first swing, she believed he couldhole-in-one the second as well.

With Daniel’s record of never losing a bet since they'd met, she was brimming with confidence. Nomatter how high the stakes, Jessica stood firmly behind him. Why wouldn't she support him when allthe winnings would be hers?

Wyatt, the first to reel from the shock, gestured back with a finger, asking in disbelief, “Country boy,you're saying you want to bet a billion dollars with me?”
