Russell rubbed his forehead while saying, “That's why I'll observe him for three months. If he behaves well and Yvette is willing to accept him, so be it. Please keep an eye on him during this period. If he makes any mistake, then I won't give him a chance anymore.”
Edmund nodded right away. “Leave it to me, Mr. Acton ward.”
Meanwhile, Mason went back to his room, still in a state of shock.
Initially, he thought that since he had gotten married to Yvette, they would be together forever. He never expected Russell to change his mind all of a sudden.
What should I do now?
As he was smoking one cigarette after another, his phone rang suddenly.
The moment he picked up the call, he heard an exasperated voice from the other end. “Is the two million ready? Today is your last day. If you fail to pay out, I'll see you in court! Let me warn you now. I have a lot of connections in the legal field. So there's no way you can win the lawsuit!”
Mason trembled as he begged, “Harvey, could you spare me a few more days? You only gave me two days. How could I possibly get so much money in such a short time?”
“That's your problem. Cut the crap! You have to pay by today, or you'll rot in prison!”
Without giving Mason a chance to speak, Harvey hung up the phone abruptly.
Mason stomped his feet in anxiety.
Just then, his phone rang again. Mason immediately answered it as he thought Harvey had decided to give him more time. But after picking it up, he realized that it was from the hackers.
“We've gotten sued, and we're going to court. We lack the legal fees, so please transfer five hundred grand to us.”
Mason's heart sank. “Five hundred grand? Do you want to see me dead? I only have fifty grand with me now!”
The other party sneered coldly. “You caused this. The gaming company wouldn't have found us if you hadn't challenged the highest-ranked player. You're responsible for this!”
