The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1053

Joey pursed his lips awkwardly upon the man's harsh and direct remark. He dared not oppose him, hence he cleared his throat and hurriedly saying, "Alright, buddy, eight hundred then. Come quick! I'm in a hurry." 1

"Wait, how do I know if you're cheating me? You are always so unreliable, I f*cking learned my lesson a long time ago! Transfer the money over to me first!" 1

"Okay, alright, buddy, calm down! I'll transfer the money over to you right now. Hurry, come quick, don't take so long!" i

"I'll go when I receive the money. No money, no talk!" 4

Joey hastily took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, and was ready to transfer eight hundred dollars to the man, but when he clicked to confirm the payment, he realized that his account had insufficient balance! s

Only now that he realized he gave almost all of his savings to Max and only left five hundred dollars for himself as his daily expenses. His logic was simple-the more he gave, the more he earned, so he decided to be thrifty to himself with the five hundred dollars until he received the earnings from the so-called investment.

As a result, he couldn't even fork out eight hundred

dollars now. 2

He had no choice but to transfer five hundred dollars first and then sent the man a voice message, saying," Hey, buddy, I'm so sorry, I only have five hundred dollars now, you take it first. I'll transfer the remaining three hundred to you as soon as I have the money!"

He immediately received a voice message, "Shut the f*ck up, d*mn it! Do you think it's the first day I know you? Last time, when I traveled to Hong Kong with my girlfriend, you asked me to buy a set of cosmetics for your girlfriend which cost me 1,320 dollars, you only paid me 1,100 and said that you would give me as soon as you got your salary. What happened? You still owe me two hundred and twenty today! How can you expect me to trust you again?" 5

Joey pleaded urgently, "Buddy, I'm so sorry for that incident, it is my fault, I forgot about it! Please, don't worry, I'll never forget this, please trust me one more time! I'll pay you together with the two hundred and twenty dollars, okay?"

"You take the five hundred first, then come and help me tow the car away. When I sell the car, I'll pay you the remaining five hundred and twenty, okay? Let's round it up, I'll give you six hundred!"

The man insisted. "Nope! You must pay me eight hundred today, or I won't go. Sorry, man." 1

After the voice message, the man clicked to accept the payment, then returned two hundred and eighty

dollars to him, and said, "You owe me two hundred and twenty, you can take the balance. If you need my towing service, transfer eight hundred to me!" 6 "You..."

Joey was on the verge of insanity! Not only did the man not come to lend a hand, but he had also deducted two hundred and twenty dollars from the balance. How could he hire another towing service with two hundred and eighty dollars?! 4

He gritted his teeth in dismay and said, "Okay, fine, I'll borrow some money from someone else. Can you please come and tow the car for me?" 2

"Of course. I have nothing to do anyway. I'll go as soon as you transfer me the money."

Joey immediately sent a message to his colleagues' chat group. "Hi, it's Joey here. I've encountered something urgent now and need a few hundred dollars for emergency purposes. Can someone lend me five hundred and twenty dollars, please? I'll pay you on salary day!"

He only had two hundred and eighty dollars right now, and he was five hundred and twenty dollars short for the towing service. 1

However, Joey was abhorred by his colleagues. There were about sixty to seventy colleagues in the group, but none of them lent him money. Eighty percent of them ignored him, while those who responded directly rejected him, giving him various excuses.

"I have no money", "My money is stuck in the fixed deposit account", "I lost my money in gambling", and so on.

In short, they had no money to lend to Joey.

Joey stomped his feet in despair and called his girlfriend as the last resort.

"Janice baby, could you lend me five hundred and twenty dollars, please?"

While panting heavily, his girlfriend said, "Joey Jensen, are you out of your mind? My girlfriends receive money from their boyfriend and you dare to ask me for money? Are you not ashamed of yourself?" 6 Joey explained hurriedly, "Baby, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this, but I urgently need the money right now. Lend it to me first, and I'll pay you back when I get my salary." 5

The girl moaned a few times before saying, "...Joey Jensen... you... you... you're so useless... don't you even have five hundred and twenty dollars in your pocket? What about your savings? Don't you have like a hundred thousand in your savings? Where did it go?" 4

"Argh, it's a long story. Please give me five hundred and twenty first, I'll pay you back later alright, baby?"
