My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 196

Russell initially thought it was an "assassin," "robber," or some other crook, so he was so frightened that he retreated to a corner.

However, he looked over to see that it was a mild-mannered and civilized-looking man who had gotten on his knees to beg for money as soon as he came over. He seemed to be in trouble.

Russell walked over only after ensuring that there was no threat or danger.

Russell sized up the young man before asking, "Young man, how did you end up here to borrow money from us?"

Jordan also found it very strange that someone would suddenly pop up out of nowhere to borrow money from them.

The young man answered truthfully, "I just saw your yacht on the Hudson River, and through a pair of binoculars, I saw you guys eating. I know you're all wealthy folks, and $20,000 is probably only the price of a meal to you."

"So, I jumped into the Hudson River and then climbed up here to ask you for help."

"1 am a graduate of the University of Political Science and Law, and here's my graduate diploma. I'm not unemployed, and I actually hold a legitimate job with a monthly income of $5,000. If you're willing to end me $20,000, I'll definitely be able to repay you the entire sum!"

Russell grabbed the wet graduation diploma book and flipped through it before smiling.

"You're brave, courageous, and resourceful. You're also very clear about your goals. Not bad."

Jordan could also tell that this young man was rather intelligent to target them because anyone who can dine on this yacht definitely wouldn't take $20,000 seriously.

The fact that he could climb up to this yacht was enough to prove his talent.

Jordan asked, "What do you need to borrow $20,000 for? Is your family member sick?"

An outstanding student of the University of Political Science and Law who was drawing quite a reasonable salary definitely wouldn't swallow his pride to get on their knees and beg someone to lend them money unless they were in a desperate situation.

The young man said, "No, I just need money for my wedding. I'm getting married to my girlfriend, but her family wants me to buy a house, a car, and give them $40,000 in cash."

"I've already bought a house and a car, and they have all been paid in full with my parents' lifelong savings as well as the hard-earned money I've been saving in the past two years of living a frugal life. I also borrowed lots of money from others."

"I'm such a loser. I've tried all sorts of ways and borrowed money from all my relatives and friends, but I have amassed at most only $20,000 for the monetary gift." "I'm short of another $20,000. Just another $20,000, and

I'll have enough money to get married." "I'm begging you, please lend me $20,000. I swear I'll definitely return it to you!"

The young man spoke very sincerely, and with Jordan's knowledge of psychology, he could tell from the signs that he wasn't lying.

Russell nodded and seemed to admire this man as well.

"Young man, you're really bold and courageous. You're a student of a prestigious university of politics and law. Still, you're willing to swallow your pride to get on your knees and beg us for money. I really admire you!"

"You're indeed not doing too well, and you don't even have enough money for your wedding, but maybe you're only short of a chance."

"Since fate has brought you to me, I'll give you a chance today!"

"I'll lend you the $20,000, and on top of that, I'll offer you a job in my company that will pay you double of your current monthly salary!"

The young man was overjoyed, and he exclaimed, "Is that true? Thank you, Sir! Thank you! Great, I can finally marry Lauren!"

Without any sense of pride, the young man kowtowed to Russell to thank him.

Russell stood in place arrogantly, smoking a cigarette and holding a glass of red wine in hand. He said, "As long as you're under me, I can let you marry any woman you want!"

"On the contrary, as long as you mess with me, Russell Miller, I'll have the ability to make even your wife leave
