Max glared at Charlie indignantly and said, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? If it wasn’t for the accident, I would have won!”Stephanie said with an irritated pout, “Yeah, keep up with your bluff! Just now, Charlie simply stepped on the accelerator, and you were nowhere to be seen! In my opinion, you would definitely lose if that accident didn’t occur.”“Huh! Are you kidding me?” Max huffed, trying to make an excuse, “Charlie was able to overtake me in the first place because I forgot to switch the function into sports mode.”Then, he quickly changed the subject, “Ah! You don’t understand cars, this conversation is meaningless. Hurry, let’s go in. I’ve made a reservation.”Charlie shrugged nonchalantly and entered the Hyatt Hotel with the crowd.The Hyatt Hotel was a comprehensive hotel integrating dining, entertainment, and leisure, but due to its remote location, its popularity and scale paled in comparison to Shangri-La and Glorious Club.Max led the group into the hotel. A w

Charlie and Claire sat down on Mrs. Lewis’s right-hand side at her request. The others took their seats one by one.As soon as everyone sat down, Mrs. Lewis glanced at all of them and donned a gentle smile. “Kids, I’m so happy and thankful that you still remember me for all these years and even visit me!”Everyone on the table quickly said, “Mrs. Lewis, what are you talking about? It’s what we should do.”Mrs. Lewis asked, “How have you all been all these years?”They answered with a smile, “Thanks for your concern, we are doing quite well.”After leaving the orphanage for many years, everyone led their own lives in the direction they could head, but in general, they were just ordinary people. Regardless of the ideology and ambitions in the past, all of it diminished by the cruel reality. They eventually returned to ordinary life.Everyone had changed a lot. As they talked about their lives, they sounded casual and relaxed, but the listeners fell silent. Apparently, not all of th

Scott was one of Max’s lackeys who had been following him around for years.Charlie asked curiously, “Oh, does Scott work in the same company as you?”“Yes,” Max answered with a smile, “He is one of my assistants.”Then, he turned to Charlie and said, “Come and help me. I don’t need any working experience from you nor do I expect you to have any, you just need to do some errands for me. You know, make me coffee, clean my office, etc. You are the best at serving people. I’ll give you three thousand dollars a month. What do you think?”Make him coffee, clean his office, etc?Three thousand a month?Charlie answered with a smile, “Oh, your offer is so lucrative. I don’t deserve it, I’ll pass.”Max nodded triumphantly and said, “I don’t want to brag, but trust me, you’ll make a lot of money if you work for me. Just look at Scott. He would have starved to death if it weren’t for me.”There was a tinge of embarrassment on Scott’s face, but he dared not contradict Max.Max said with

Max was literally illustrating his personal experience.He was the one who had assumed the car was a Passat simply by seeing the Volkswagen logo, missing the ‘Phaeton’ entirely, and crashing into it.He was in a hot mess now. He now had millions of dollars of debt that he didn’t know how to settle.He would be so screwed if his conning strategy failed.“D*mn it!!! It’s really a Phaeton?!”A guy recognized the Phaeton’s car key. He blurted in excitement when he saw the word W12 on it, “D*mn it, this is Volkswagen’s most expensive model! The top-spec model costs more than 2 million dollars! It is known as the most underrated super luxury car. D*mn, Max, you actually bought the legendary Phaeton! You’re d*mn awesome, man!”On the other hand, the guys who had come in Max’s car and witnessed the entire incident exchanged awkward glances with each other.They didn’t expect Max to literally use Jayden’s story and start to brag. But, of course, they wouldn’t expose Max’s lies as they

The reason why Max was rejecting Joey’s request was simply because he was putting on an act and trying to play hard to get.He was the investment director of a scam fund, just like those thunderous P2P. His job was to do everything within his ability to try to fool those who did not understand this so they would invest all of their money in this so-called fund.In fact, none of these funds would possibly make them any money. As long as anyone invested in the fund, they were doomed to lose all their money and they would not even be able to get back a single penny.When Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine, was previously defrauded of her investment, she had also been deceived by this kind of fake funding company. As long as the money had already been entered into their company’s account, it would be completely impossible for them to get back their money.However, what Max was trying to do today was not to get them to invest in his own fund. Instead, he wanted to trick them into giving hi

The man blurted out, “Brother Max, count me in! Count me in!”Mrs. Lewis had not said anything so far but when she heard this, she could not help but say worriedly, “Max, there are a lot of online loan platforms with high interest rates which have been exposed on television nowadays. Their profitable interest rates are really scary. I think that it would be best not to get involved with any online loan platforms if it isn’t a last resort.”Max really did not expect Mrs. Lewis to come out and try to spoil his own plan. After that, he said, “Mrs. Lewis, the interest rates for the online loan platforms that you’ve mentioned are indeed very high. However, the online loan platforms operated by my friends are all very formal and upright. Their interest rates aren’t that high compared to the interest rates of other loan companies. In fact, their interest rates are almost negligible.”After a pause, Max said again, “Actually, under any normal circumstances, I wouldn’t do this kind of thing
Chapter 975
Charlie had never been a good person anyway.He would only try to save someone if he pitied them.However, the premise was that the other party should be able to differentiate between the good and bad.However, if the other party did not know what was good for himself, then he would not allow himself to be snubbed despite his good intentions.Since some people were so stubborn, then it would be best for them to experience misfortune for themselves.Anyway, they had made the decision on their own and they would not be able to push the blame on anyone else for their misfortunes in the future.Therefore, Charlie deliberately changed the topic. At this time, he immediately said, “If you want to talk about making money, then I think that you should go back and talk about it in private. The reason why we’re here today is because we want to treat Mrs. Lewis to dinner. We haven’t even ordered any food after sitting here for so long.”Max immediately smiled as he said, “Come, come. Let’s

Max waved his hand before he said, “Yes, of course! Why not? Just serve us the dish!”After he was done speaking, Max continued saying, “Oh, by the way, please bring us two bottles of Ace of Spades champagne!”The waiter replied, “Sir, a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne is $18,888.00. It is also non-refundable once the bottle of champagne is opened. Is that okay?”Max replied immediately, “Yes! Hurry up and serve it as soon as possible!”When they heard that he had just ordered two bottles of champagne which cost $18,888.00 each, all of them could no longer sit still.After doing the calculation, this meal had already cost more than sixty thousand dollars. Even if they would only have to pay for half of the bill for dinner tonight, wouldn’t they still have to pay thirty thousand dollars then?Even if they were to split the bill equally among the rest of them, each of them would still have to pay two thousand dollars each!Harvey was a little embarrassed as he said, “Max, we don
