After all, Skylar and Kevin had arranged their marriage. They were also supposed to hold their wedding soon.
Rupert patted his thigh and asked, “Do you want to sit here?”
Jennifer shook her head, standing still. “Mr. Rodriguez, please just tell me that can you give me a few more days to settle that?”
Rupert broke into a laugh. “You look like you're afraid of me.”
Jennifer tried to calm herself down. “No. I'm just not used to such an occasion.”
Rupert lifted his arm to look at his watch. “Let me tell you clearly. You have 3 hours left until the deadline for the payment. I know you're short of money now, but it's okay. You have a lot of choices here tonight. How about I introduce them to you accordingly?”
Jennifer remained silent. Upon seeing that, Rupert continued, “I don't have to introduce Mr. Ono and Mr. Sanders to you, right? You've met them before.”
Then, he pointed at the Yartran man in his suit. “This is Shima Nagakawa, the president of Pollerton Hidden Arts Association. He's powerful and rich.”
Shima glanced at Jennifer coldly. It seemed like he was uninterested in greeting her.
“As for this man, he's Jim's cousin, Jay Carter.” Rupert pointed at the man with a potbelly. “All the people here today are filthy rich. They are able to give you a hundred million, at least.”
“So?” Jennifer asked.
“So, you have many options here. You can choose to stay by my side for a year to clear your debt. Also, you can try borrowing money from them. As long as you're capable enough, they'll be willing to help you.” Rupert chuckled.
Jennifer's expression changed drastically. She had long known that they were up to no good.
With that, the men turned to look at her curiously.
Jennifer took a deep breath and said, “I'm sorry. Your conditions are too harsh for me.
Rupert continued staring at her as he put on an innocent look. “It's okay. You don't have any choices either. After midnight, I'll kill your entire family if I don't receive the payment.
Hearing that, Jennifer's face went pale.
