Zayne became particularly insensitive and teased," Welcome to the deadbeat men club."
Cole glared at Zayne fiercely, so Zayne decided to consider his dignity and coaxed him instead. "Okay, okay. Stop putting on such a sour face, will ya? You're obviously at an advantage here, so why are you acting like everyone here owes you something? What? Is it that hard to be a deadbeat? Then you should ask if my sister agrees..."
Before Zayne could finish his sentence, Shirley glared at Zayne angrily. "You’d better start shutting your mouth."
Zayne patted his mouth, saying, "Our family already has a man who overly spoils his wife, and now, I'm afraid we’ll soon have a woman who'll overly spoil her husband."
Josie pulled on Zayne’s ear with a smile. "Then what about our family?"
Zayne bared his teeth and said, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Our family has a violent woman."
Josie said, "Now you're asking for it!"
Jay looked at the depressed Cole at the moment.
Perhaps it was because they shared the same proud
and aloof nature, so Jay could understand that Cole was finding it hard to live off a woman.
Jay took out a card from his wallet and handed it to Cole. "There’s 100 million inside. I’m giving this to you as a loan. Return it to me with interest within three years, and the interest rate should be twice the current market rate. How does that sound?”
Cole readily accepted Jay's generous aid to him.
"Thank you."
He turned around and handed the card to Shirley, saying, "This is my dowry to you."
Shirley refused it and said, "You're leaving Imperial Capital, Cole. I think you'll need the money more than I do. Keep it. I have my own money anyway."
Zayne became envious of him and said, "Damn. I always thought that my life was the best. I never expected that there's a man who'll have it better than I do."
Cole did not reach out to take the card back.
