Billionire 140
She Sold Herself Out
Everyone around looked at her. But Rose couldn't be bothered by the crowd's gaze at that moment. She carefully recounted the strings of zeros and covered her mouth in astonishment. Ten billion...
It was ten billion! But where did all this money come from? Rose's astonished look quickly turned into a horrified look.
"Shit! Something's wrong!" Rose kept her cell phone. She then informed Jonathan who was opposite her, I have matters to attend to, I'll be leaving first."
She needed to go to the bank and find out what's the issue with this fund. But Jonathan pulled her back just as she was about to leave.
Jonathan had seen every reaction of hers earlier. He smiled with his eyes crinkling.
He made sure Rose had sat back down before he asked, "What's gotten you into a hurry? Isn't today our Mom's death anniversary? Let's have breakfast first. Then we can go get a nice bouquet for our Mom." Rose was speechless. Our Mom? What was her mother's relationship with him? Why would it become 'our Mom' now? But Rose couldn't care less about the title at that moment.
It was as if her mind was still reeling in the numerous zeros from earlier.
"Say, if there was a lot of money appearing in your card out of nowhere. The bank wouldn't come after the cardholder if it was due to a banking error right?"
Rose stared at Jonathan. She was nervously waiting for his answer. Suddenly, she saw Jonathan frown.
Rose's heart leaped as she became more alert.
She swallowed her saliva and was about to get up to head to the bank to explain herself when Jonathan. spoke, "No."
Rose was confused. What did he mean by 'no'?
Jonathan replied, "It wasn't out of nowhere."Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Rose got even more confused. It was the first time for her to have such a hard time understanding a mere
sentence.
It was until Jonathan continued to explain, "The zeros in your account didn't appear out of nowhere. I was the one who transferred them."
Rose was speechless. Her mind went blank for a moment. She replayed Jonathan's words in her mind... It didn't appear out of nowhere. He was the one who transferred them....
He was the one who transferred them?
"You... you're joking, right?" Rose laughed dryly. She couldn't believe it. "Why would you give me money?" Besides, where did he get so much money from? It was ten billion! Not ten dollars! Jonathan frowned. Her reaction was what he expected. She couldn't remember anything after all. Just what he needed!
Jonathan took out two pieces of folded paper from his pocket.
He replied casually as he opened them up, "You told me that you needed money last night. I asked how
much you need, you told me this amount."
"At first I didn't want to give it to you. It was such a huge sum after all. Who would I look for if you didn't pay me back?"
"But you promised that you would do anything as long as I give you that money. You even offered to draft an agreement. Look at this..."
Jonathan passed the opened-up papers to Rose. Rose hurriedly took over the alleged agreement and checked the content. The more she read, the darker her expression looked. "What... what is this? To live together as husband and wife?"
Even if she asked him for money, she would pay him back. But why would they need to live together as husband and wife before she finished paying him back the money?
Rose stared at Jonathan in hopes of getting a reasonable explanation. But Jonathan had already prepared for this.
He looked innocent as he said, "This was what you suggested, have you forgotten about it?
Rose was speechless. She had suggested this?
"You said it was to make me worry less. We could live together as husband and wife so that I get to see you every day. I've given it some thought and figured it was reasonable as well. That's why I agreed to it.
Rose was speechless. Reasonable? How was this even reasonable! Rose calmed herself down and tried to negotiate with Jonathan.
"We don't even need to do that as husband and wife. For example, we could still rent a place together. promise to show myself before you every day, just to make sure you can see me daily. How about this Jonathan frowned.
"I told this to you as well last night, but you didn't agree to it. You're the one who said that we have to live together as husband and wife. That was the only way to show your sincerity and gratitude."
He looked innocent, as if his resistance had been futile and he only accepted it out of necessity. Rose pursed her lips.
She tried her best to recall the previous night. She could only remember Jonathan walking into her room- with a beer in his hands.
After that, they drank together. There wasn't much talking in the first place. But she couldn't recall what had happened or what was said after she was drunk.
Rose thought until her head hurt. Jonathan's eyes flashed with a victorious glint. He gulped water as if
ose found something fishy. celebrating something in advance. Suddenly,
"Wait..."
Jonathan looked curiously at her. Her gaze flickered between the two agreements. As if she was confirming that she had found the loophole to nullify the agreement.
Rose soon squinted her eyes as she stared at Jonathan
Saving that I was the one who offered to draft this agreement?”
"Yes."
"But this wasn't my handwriting!"
Even the signatory part had no signature but only her thumbprint. She suspected that this agreement was forged by Jonathan! Rose stared right at Jonathan. She was waiting to hear his explanation.
