Chapter 121
Aaron drew in a deep breath after the Lopez family had left—they were safe for now.
“Whew—honey, you sure are smart!”
Aaron didn’t forget to give Caitlyn a word ofpliment.
“Hurry up and go look for my brother and Pam! Or you’ll be the one to lose a finger!” Caitlyn said as
she rolled her eyes at him.
The two immediately rushed to the Mariott Hotel.
“Is there something you want for you to see us at this hour?” Pam asked.
“Bailey, Pam, I’ll cut to the chase then! We want to borrow three hundred million from you! We’re in
need of money for our business!”
“Don’t worry about us not paying you back. You guys should know about Zoey’s project. It’s a project
worth more than a billion. Three hundred million will definitely not be a problem!”
Aaron and Caitlyn went straight to the question of money.
Pam and Bailey exchanged nces.
“We need to discuss this first!”
After half an hour, the two agreed to lend them three hundred million— mainly because Zoey’s project
was guaranteed to seed.
“That’s great!” Aaron was exhrated.
However, at this moment, Pam’s phone rang.
It was Oswald.
Pam answered the call. “Oswald, what’s the matter?”
“Aunt Pam, I have something to tell you…”
Pam gave Aaron and Caitlyn a puzzled look. Her expression took on a drastic change the more she
listened to Oswald.
“Okay, I got it. I won’t lend it then!”
After hanging up the phone, Pam snapped, “You people were lying? Do you really need money for
your business? Aaron, you’ve lost three hundred million from gambling, didn’t you?!”
“Get lost, now!” Bailey’s fury sprang to life when he learned about the truth. “Come see us again only
after you settled your debt!”
Then the couple kicked Aaron and Caitlyn out, leaving them stupefied.
Why did they change their mind after answering one phone call?

“What do we do now?”
Aaron sweated with anxiety.
On the other side, Zoey was trying to find a solution as well, but the most she coulde up with was
fifty million.
She was at her wits’ end, as they had already invested the rest of the money in the project.
Besides, the project would have to be suspended as well if she took that fifty million away.
It was to check on this matter that Levi had left early this morning.
However, the strange thing was that the other party clearly didn’t cheat. It was Aaron who lost the
money after gambling with an expert.
It was clearly a deception, yet it was seamless.
There must be something fishy. I can definitely find out the truth if I call the cops, but Aaron will have to
be imprisoned, and Zoey will be heartbroken if that happens.
Levi didn’t want that to see that. He could have easily paid up that three hundred million, but he wanted
to find out the mastermind behind this scheme first.
Everyone had thought of every possible way, but they just couldn’t get the money together.
Dread gnawed at Aaron’s insides at the thought of having his fingers chopped off tomorrow.
“Honey, what should I do? Think of something! I don’t want to have my fingers chopped off!” Aaron
shouted anxiously.
Caitlyn creased her brows. “I heard Zoey will contact major investors next to borrow money, but I’m
afraid it’ll take a little longer. Probably a few days.”
“Few days? I don’t have a few days! My fingers will be chopped off in a few days, that’s for sure!”
Aaron got all sweaty.
“So find someone to rece you during these few days.”
There was a bright light in Aaron’s eyes. “You mean I should put Levi on the spot and have his fingers
chopped off on my behalf?”
“Who else do you think if not Levi? You’ve thrown the me on him, anyway!”
Caitlyn gave him an angry stare.
Aaron nodded in approval. “That’s right! He’s just a good-for-nothing. What’s the big deal with having
his fingers chopped off? He has to rely on us to feed him, anyway! That’s going to be the biggest
contribution he’s ever made for the family!”
