My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 305

Clinton immediately became nervous!

None of the real estate magnates had a clean background.

Clinton' had been doing rather well in recent years and hadn't gone overboard but in the early years of his career, he had resorted to all malicious means to get the land he wanted!

All of a sudden, Clinton received a call again from one of his former business partners.

"Hello." Clinton immediately answered the call.

The person on the other end of the line said, "Clinton, why did you ignore me after you became rich? We can run a business together and earn some money."

"I heard that someone offered 15 million dollars for evidence against you. I know exactly what you did when we were business partners."

With a sullen expression on his face, Clinton barked, "You're mad! Do you think you can get away with it if something happens to me?"

The person on the other end of the line said while laughing, "Calm down, Clinton, don't get so worked up. I didn't say I was going to expose you. If I wanted to expose you, would I call you? You're my buddy. How can I possibly betray you?"

"However, Clinton, I'm rather cash-strapped lately. Lend me 8 million dollars."

He asked for 8 million dollars!

Besides, he sounded like he didn't have any intentions of returning the money!

If Jordan's incident didn't happen, he would have just ignored this man's request for a loan.

However, in this situation, if he didn't lend that man 8 million dollars, he might really expose Clinton for 15 million dollars if he were to be forced into a corner!

Clinton said, "Buddy, I'll have someone transfer 8 million dollars into your account. We're close business partners and I want to rope you in for my next project. Rest assured, I'll count you in on any lucrative business opportunities that I come across in the future!"

Clinton had finally comforted his "buddy".

He then transferred 8 million dollars to him.

However, just after the transfer, Clinton received another phone call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who's speaking?"

"I'm Wayne."

An icy cold voice came out of the phone.

Wayne!

Clinton's expression changed drastically after hearing those words!

Wayne was Clinton's former chauffeur!

Besides, he wasn't just his chauffeur. He had once taken the rap for Clinton when Clinton ran someone over and killed them while drink-driving.

Of course, Clinton used money and connections to settle it privately with the deceased's family. Hence, Wayne didn't have to go to jail.

However, since then, Wayne was forced to leave Houston.

"You... Why are you calling me?" Clinton asked cautiously.

Wayne was the only one who knew that Clinton had run someone over and killed them. He had already paid Wayne to seal his lips and make him leave Houston.

Wayne said, "Boss, the one who killed someone with your car that night was clearly you, but you made me take the rap. Now, those people are still after me and I can't take it anymore. I want them to know the truth!"

"Wayne! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk things over slowly!" Clinton said agitatedly. He was really afraid that this matter would be exposed.

Wayne said over the phone, "I'm cash-strapped. I need 40 million dollars!"

When Clinton heard Wayne was asking for a large sum of money, Clinton immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "Wayne, you're out of your mind! I've already given you 8 million dollars as a hush fee! How dare you ask me for 40 million dollars!?!"

"How dare you blackmail me? Do you know I can easily make you disappear with just millions of dollars? Go take a look in the mirror. Do you think you're worth 40 million dollars?"

Wayne said furiously, "If you won't give me 40 million dollars, I'll go get 15 million dollars from Mr. Steele!" "What? How do you know..."
