Chapter 550 Countless Plans

Maya turned to Jessica with a mischievous smile. "Jessica, you're betting so much money on thiscountry boy. If you end up losing all of it, what will you do? Is your little company even capable ofhandling such a bet?"

As Maya spoke, an idea suddenly struck her. "Or maybe you borrowed this money from the bank?Or perhaps you’re misusing funds owed to someone else?"

"What does it concern you?" Jessica replied coldly.

Maya let out a mocking laugh and said, "You're right, it doesn't concern me. But as your oldclassmate, I feel the need to remind you. If you borrowed this money from the bank or if it’s fundsfrom your business and you misuse it, and if Daniel ends up losing, you won't be able to cover theshortfall. That could land you in jail. Imagine going to jail over such a country bumpkin—it's notworth it!"

Maya's words were meant to mock Jessica, but they also planted a seed of thought in Wyatt, whohad not considered this angle. The more he thought about Maya's suggestion, the more his mindraced.

If Jessica really was betting with borrowed money or misappropriated funds, she could indeed endup in prison if unable to recover the loss. Then, if Wyatt were to offer a helping hand, perhaps hislongtime crush and the flawless beauty of his dreams would be grateful enough to reciprocate—maybe even with her affections.

Quick to prevent Maya from spoiling his machinations, Wyatt urged, "Maya, if you're going to betwith this country boy, just place your bet. If you don’t want to, then don’t. Now if you remember,even Tiger Woods has played on this course, and at this second hole—the par-six—Woods himselftook three strokes to get the ball in the hole! So, if you don't want to throw away your money, cut thechatter and place your bet!"

With that, Maya hastily moved to transfer the funds, but she didn't have ten million at her disposal.She applied for various loans, including some high-interest ones, and eventually scraped togetherenough to deposit the ten million into the holding account.

Meanwhile, the shrewd Sebastian had already made several calls, borrowing from everyone heknew. He managed to gather eight million.

"Country boy, I want to bet with you too, but let's go for eight million, not ten," Sebastian declaredafter making all his calls, not hiding his intentions from Daniel, who had overheard everything.

Did they all think Daniel was such a simpleton, a mere country bumpkin who would let his moneyslip through his fingers? Daniel had to laugh. He would not turn down free money. After all, only afool would refuse such an offer.

"Sebastian, you sure you want to bet with me?" Daniel verified.

"Country boy, don’t tell me you're getting cold feet and want to back out now? I've alreadytransferred the eight million into the holding account, and there's no way for you to wriggle out of it,"Sebastian confidently taunted.
