The Poor Billionaire novel Chapter 9

Ethan was a little frightened by the dozens of eyes staring at him, and then he saw Justin walking towards him.

"What did you say just now?" Justin couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"

Ethan didn't understand what he meant, so he had to answer truthfully, "I said that today's things are very difficult. You guys couldn't solve it even if you went in, so I wanted to make a phone call. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Justin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "You are really funny. Who do you think you are? Savior of the world? Mayor of Buckeye City? All of us are useless and you are the only one useful? Are you making fun of me?"

Justin's words caused a burst of laughter among the people present. And they also pointed at Ethan and began to judge him.

"Haha, has Ethan read too much novels? Does he think he's the protagonist? Will he summon an army of thousands later? Haha... It's so funny."

"Sh*t, don't he know what he's talking about? Doesn't he know who is in front of him? Did he mean that he is better than Mr. Justin? Really ridiculous."

"Ethan made all our class ashamed again. Doesn't he know his situation? See the hole on his pants, such poor guy. But even so, he still didn't forget to come over and brag around. He deserved to be scolded..."

The ridicule of the crowd made Justin look at Ethan with even more contempt. In his opinion, today he should be the focus of their attention, but now, Ethan's words hogged the limelight on purpose.

Hog my limelight. Just you?

Justin laughed and said, "Well, go and make a call. Didn't you say that you are the only one who can solve this problem? Then show me. I'd like to see it."

At first sight of Ethan, Justin was clear in his heart. Ethan was a loser from head to toe. It's impossible for him to solve this issue.

Hearing Justin's words, Ethan completely understood what he meant. He also knew that if he offended this rich second generation today, maybe he would be retaliated in the future.

He wasn't afraid but just didn't want to make enemies.

Ethan sighed and said, "I won't call anymore. I can't handle it. You go ahead."

Ethan had already admitted defeat, but Justin was obviously not satisfied. He sneered and said, "Come on! You'd better call. Judging by your clothes, you must be a master with great power. Let's see if you can solve this problem today."

Justin threw a fierce glance at Ethan, and after he saw that Ethan no longer spoke, he turned his head and walked to the other side.

"Hehe, I'm really confused. Why does everyone dare to brag around?"

The guy withs studs quickly leaned forward again and said, "Mr. Justin, don't bother yourself arguing with such a person. Today no one but you can save Nina. Calm down, or... let's go in and see what's going on?"

Justin nodded proudly. As he walked to the bar, he said, "Wait for me. I'll be out in a minute."

As soon as Justin walked into the bar, dozens of people outside immediately became noisy again. The guy with studs rolled his eyes at Ethan, cursed something, and looked nervously at the front door.

"Ethan, are you all right?" Charles sighed and asked, "Hey, actually, you shouldn't say those big words just now. Maybe Justin really didn't work, but at least he's better than us. We have to behave ourselves."

Ethan frowned and looked at his buddy. "You don't believe me either?"

Charles and Dylan, who had remained silent for a long time, both laughed. "Forget it, I know you are doing this for your face, but you don't have to do it with us. Don't be angry. Let me treat you guys lunch, hot pot. Okay?"

In fact, it was not that Charles didn't want to believe Ethan, but the truth was obvious. In their view, Ethan was still a poor man. Everyone would take it as a joke if he suddenly said he could solve such a big problem.

"Whatever." Ethan sighed. He stepped aside, found the number of Maggie that she gave him yesterday, and dialed the number.

Seeing Ethan still pretend to make a phone call, Charles and Dylan looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

They didn't understand what had happened to Ethan recently. They were already his best brothers, but Ethan was still going to put on an act in front of them.

"He is seriously sick..." Dylan muttered helplessly.

Ethan ignored them. After the phone rang a few times, Maggie's voice came from the other side. "Hello, Young Master Ethan, is there anything I can do for you?"

"You made them do it, didn't you?" Ethan said faintly, "the girl we met yesterday at the bar."

Maggie smiled and said, "You're really smart. It's true that I got someone to deal with it. Are you satisfied?"

Ethan said in a much lower voice, "Of course no! As I said yesterday, why did you do that?"

"Haha, I also gave her a chance yesterday. But the person who didn't cherish the opportunity couldn't blame anyone else." Maggie paused and said, "And my current way was already the lowest level of punishment. You are Mr. Norman's son. Anyone who dares to treat you like this must pay the price."
