"What usury?" Chuck heard the class monitor say that Yvette had borrowed from the usury to buy him the car.
Yvette borrowed from the usury? It was hard to believe. He knew that she sold her house in order to save her company, and invested a lot of money in managing the company in the plaza. She should've earned enough money from the house, and he even used his status as the Baller to give her five hundred thousand dollars.
Although Yvette did tell him that she wanted to return the money, he didn't accept it, so the money should still be in her account. She shouldn't need to borrow money from anyone. How could she use up more than one million dollars so quickly?
Chuck found it hard to believe.
He knew Yvette too well. She wouldn't spend money casually and would usually save the money she had. She wasn't the kind of girl who would spend on luxury items either, so where did the money go?
Why did she need to borrow from the usury?
Chuck looked at Yvette. However, she tried to avoid his gaze. She sighed and felt embarrassed. She didn't feel ashamed, but she just felt that she couldn't face Chuck anymore.
Chuck must have thought she was a gold digger since she borrowed money from the loan sharks. She just invested too much into advertising the company, as well as the compensation for the necklace back in Central City.
Yvette really didn't have much money left. She even had to return the Baller money, so she had no other choice.
Chuck saw Yvette lower her head, and that was when he realized that Yvette did really borrow a loan.
Chuck sighed. He really wanted to tell Yvette that he had a super-rich mother, so she didn't need to borrow a loan. He wanted her to know that she didn't have to work so hard in the company, and that she could spend one million dollars a day if she wanted to.
Yet...
His mother had warned him to be cautious. She still wanted to observe Yvette before she could finally accept her. There was nothing he could say now.
Chuck struggled. His reasoning suppressed his impulse to spill the beans. Since his mother had requested that from him, he decided to trust her and listen to her.
"Stop pretending. Don't you understand what I said? Yvette borrowed a loan to buy you a car. Who knows if someone is going to tow your car away tomorrow? Too bad you've gone too far. You're just a good-for-nothing!" The class monitor sneered.
"Listen clearly now, my husband didn't ask me to buy him a car. He didn't!" Yvette glared at him.
It was already difficult for her to face Chuck. However, she couldn't restrain herself from defending Chuck from what Lincoln was saying.
Lincoln snickered, "Do you seriously believe what you just said?"
"Honey, it's okay. Let's go back." Yvette was obviously in a bad mood. Chuck wanted to figure out how much money Yvette had borrowed. He figured that it should be roughly 100,000 dollars based on the size of the company. Once they got home, Chuck would immediately transfer the money to her so that she could pay the loan.
However, he couldn't figure out how the class monitor found out.
"Hubby, I'm sorry," Yvette whispered. For the first time in her life, she had lost her confidence and she couldn't look at Chuck. She felt that she had been exposed for something terrible that she did, and the guilt and shame was crushing her.
"It's fine." Chuck comforted her and grabbed Yvette's hand to leave.
"Are you going to stop pretending now?" The class monitor laughed at him.
Chuck glanced at him and asked Yvette to wait for him as he walked over to the class monitor. Lincoln continued to snicker, "What are you doing? Do you want to hit me? Touch me, and I'll send someone..."
Bang!
Chuck clenched his fist and hit Lincoln in the stomach. With his other hand, he covered Lincoln's mouth and stopped him from screaming out loud. The class monitor's eyes burst wide open as he felt an immense pain, so painful that he almost fainted. It was only then that Lincoln realized Chuck wasn't just playing around.
Chuck threw another punch at him, hitting his cheek this time. The class monitor grunted and fainted immediately.
Chuck threw him against the wall casually. He knew that it was common for fights to happen in a bar, especially since there were so many drunkards. He hoped that someone would pick him up, preferably a man...
Then, he walked back to his wife. Yvette bit her lips and lowered her head.
"Honey, let's go back." Chuck tried to smile at her, but Yvette felt even less confident.
