Life After Prison by Silencieux (PDF) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 

“That’s not all, right? You still need to apologize to him!” William said. 

“Fine, I’ll apologize if it makes you happy. Having seven and a half million is going to make our life a whole lot better in the future. Unlike during the past few years, I won’t have to think twice before buying something!” Felicia said Indifferently. 

Megan, who was on one side, still had a bitter face. “But, I don’t want to wash his feet! Gah, why was I so stupid to bet with him at the time? Damn it! I was so overwhelmed with anger that I didn’t consider the possibility that he might resort to selling the house!” 

Having said that, Megan thought of something again, and could not help but smirk. “Then again, he might not necessarily be successful. We’ve set a deadline for him anyway, and when it comes to matters relating to the sale of a house, it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to sell it off within a month. And besides, the house is very expensive too, so there’s still a chance we might not lose!” 

After William heard that, he reminded her, “Do you even know what sort of house that is? It’s a symbol of status like all the other houses there! Ordinary houses might not be so easy to sell, but the houses there are in high demand. Once it’s listed for sale, God knows how many people will scramble to get their hands on it. Your grandma might even join the long list of buyers too! It won’t even take a month. I give it two or three days at most. As long as the house has been listed for sale, it will most certainly be sold!” 

“Ah! Does that mean I’m doomed to lose!” Megan looked depressed. “Is there still time for me to go back on my word? If word gets out that I washed the feet of a country bumpkin, all my friends will laugh at me! How am I supposed to show myself in public next time?” 

Felicia knocked Megan’s forehead and said, “Are you stupid? Don’t you know that ‘cash is king“? Have you forgotten how people looked down on us when we had no money to spend in the last few years? Just wash his feet and be done with it. It’s not as if we’ll tell the whole world about what you did, so don’t get so worked up about it! Once I get the money, I’ll immediately give you a hundred and fifty thousand for you to spend!” 

“That’s all? Why can’t I get one and a half million right away?” Megan pouted at the paltry sum of a- hundred–and–fifty–thousand dollars. “He wouldn’t have bragged about being able to give you a seven–and–a–half–million–dollar dowry if I hadn’t helped you provoke him today.”
