At this moment, Blake Noire hadn’t slept all night. Dark circles under his eyes and a look of exhaustion marked his face. He had been calling Chris Shelby since early morning, but Chris was asleep and had no interest in talking, so he simply hung up the phone. After much difficulty, Blake finally got through to Chris and they arranged a meeting time.
Glancing at his watch, Blake cursed, “That bastard Chris Shelby, it’s almost noon and he still hasn’t shown up! If I don’t sort this out today, I’m going to be kicked out of the Noire family!”
Suddenly, footsteps approached. A group of fully armed East Coast Guards stormed in. Seeing them, Blake’s face turned pale and he fell to the ground with a thud. The East Coast Guards had left a deep impression on him, as it was they who had castrated him on Chris Shelby’s orders last time.
Suddenly, Chris Shelby appeared. He looked at Blake in surprise and asked, “Young Master Noire, what are you doing on the ground?” Blake stood up, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, “Chris Shelby, can you ask them to leave first?” Chris nodded and waved his hand, “You guys, step out!” At his command, all the guards left.
Blake then said to Chris, “According to our previous bet, I owe you ten billion dollars! But I don’t have that much cash. Even if I sell my shares in the Noire family, I can only raise nine billion dollars…”
Chris’s face darkened as he replied, “So you mean to say you still owe me a billion? Blake Noire, I warn you, if you don’t pay me back in full, I won’t let you off!”
Blake took another deep breath. Chris Shelby was determined to drive him to ruin. Clenching his teeth, Blake said, “Chris Shelby, I own a digital media company with huge potential and many popular online hosts, valued at over ten billion dollars. I will transfer the company to you for ten billion dollars right now, and we can call it even!”
At this, Blake’s eyes reddened. He had invested immense effort in this network company and recruited many top hosts. Just as the streaming business was booming and ready to harvest the benefits, he had to transfer his company to Chris Shelby to settle his debt.
Chris nodded, “Agreed!” Originally, the Chester Group had wanted to start a streaming company, but recruiting top hosts had been challenging as they were already signed with major companies. It was like a dream come true when Blake offered his company.
Without further ado, Chris Shelby and Blake signed the transfer agreement. After signing, Blake transferred nine billion dollars to Chris’s account. With this, Blake’s debt of ten billion dollars to Chris Shelby was fully repaid.
To clear his debt, Blake not only sold his family shares and transferred his company but also mortgaged his mansion in Middleton. Located within the third ring, the mansion was extremely valuable, covering thousands of square meters and housing several supercars Blake had purchased. Blake had spent over a hundred million dollars just decorating the mansion.
But Blake Noire had hardly settled into the mansion before it slipped through his fingers.
Chris Shelby looked at Blake Noire with a smile and said, “Master Noire, we’re old acquaintances now. Feel free to call me anytime you want to race!”
Hearing Chris Shelby’s words, Blake Noire was so angry he nearly vomited blood.
The last race had nearly bankrupted him.
If there were another race, he was sure he would jump off a building.
At this moment, Chris Shelby felt extremely pleased, having easily pocketed a hundred billion dollars.
Chris Shelby wished there were more foolish heirs like Blake Noire to come his way.
But he also knew that there weren’t many fools like Blake Noire in the world.
After everything, Blake Noire completely broke down and collapsed to the ground, fainting.
Chris Shelby, speechless, had no choice but to call an ambulance to take Blake Noire to the hospital.
Later, Chris Shelby went to the office of a branch company where Esther worked.
Seeing Chris Shelby, Esther curiously asked, “Dear, where have you been this morning?”
Chris Shelby replied with a smile, “Dear, I made a hundred billion dollars today and decided to treat you to a big meal!”
“Really?” Esther asked in surprise, “Dear, where are you planning to take me for this big meal?”
Chris Shelby said, “I know a place called Emberwood Estate. How about I take you there for dinner?”
Esther nodded, “Sure!”
Although Esther didn’t know what Emberwood Estate was, it didn’t matter to her where they dined.
When it was time to leave work, Chris Shelby and Esther left the company.
Just as Esther was about to drive off in her Mercedes, Chris Shelby suddenly appeared driving a Porsche.
Esther, surprised, asked, “Dear, is this your new car?”
Chris Shelby replied with a laugh, “Dear, didn’t I tell you? Some fool gave me a hundred billion dollars today, and this sports car was a gift from that fool.”
Hearing this, Esther was speechless.
Where on earth did such a generous fool come from?
Half an hour later, Chris Shelby drove Esther to Emberwood Estate.
At the entrance of Emberwood Estate, several Emberwood Guards dressed in black stood guard.
The Emberwood Guards immediately stepped forward to stop Chris Shelby.
Chris Shelby presented the Emberwood Crest, and the guards, showing respect, opened the gates.
Chris Shelby wasted no time and drove into Emberwood Estate.
Upon entering, Esther was stunned.
Even a fool could tell that Emberwood Estate was no ordinary place.
Having such a large estate in Middleton was definitely extraordinary.
After getting out of the car, Esther curiously asked, “Dear, what exactly is going on?”
Chris Shelby replied with a smile, “Dear, you’ll find out in a moment!”
Then, Chris Shelby led Esther to the hall.
The hall housed a long table laden with a variety of delicacies.
“This…”
Seeing all this, Esther was stunned.
Could all this really be prepared for her?
Chris Shelby looked at Esther and asked with a smile, “Dear, how do you like it?”
Esther, in disbelief, said, “Dear, I feel like I’m dreaming.”
Chris Shelby chuckled, pulled out a bottle of a century-old Lafite wine from Bordeaux,
“Dear, we can come here often in the future.”
“What?”
At this, Esther showed a look of shock.
