Determined, Sebastian immediately turned to Wyatt with an expectant look. "Wyatt, can you lend me another billion?"
Sebastian's request didn't surprise Wyatt much. He understood that, despite Sebastian having lost just now, he certainly didn't accept it. Sebastian would undoubtedly seek to borrow money to turn his fortunes around. The country boy had lucked out three times already; how could he possibly win a fourth?
Therefore, lending to either Maya or Sebastian posed no real risk—it was a safe bet. From the bottom of his heart, Wyatt was prepared to lend.
But of course, money lent must come with strings attached.
Now that Sebastian found himself backed into a corner, Wyatt saw the perfect opportunity to set some terms and score a hefty payoff from him.
Wyatt didn't rush to accept or deny the request and instead asked with slyness reflective of an old fox, "Sebastian, what did you say just now? You want to borrow another billion? You haven't even paid back the billion you borrowed earlier."
It was clear that Wyatt was taking advantage of the situation, but Sebastian couldn't argue.
Sebastian steeled his resolve. "Wyatt, if you'll lend me another billion, I wouldn't mind calling you 'dad.'"
