Chapter 456

Ethan looked at Shane as if he were crazy, wondering if something was wrong with his mental state.

Ethan wanted to distance himself from Shane, but Shane leaned in closer and said, “Mr. Jackson, I’ve been watching you for a while and you seem to be drinking alone. Why is that? Don’t you have anyone to talk to?

“Are you feeling a bit stressed lately? I’ve heard about your impressive achievements. You’re the future business king of Norwood and I think you’ll surpass Gabriel one day.” Shane hiccuped after saying that,

Ethan couldn’t deny that Shane’s flattery was quite pleasing, making him willing to stay and listen to Shane for a bit, but he still put on airs. “So, why are you trying to chat with me? Is it that you want to invest in my project?”

“No, to be honest, I don’t have the ability as I don’t have much money. I merely want to be friends with you,” Shane said apologetically.

“By the way, Mr. Jackson, if you’re feeling stressed or unhappy, I know a way to cheer you up.” Shane gave Ethan a knowing look.

“What way?” Ethan asked.

Shane leaned in and said, “This bar offers special services. Are you interested, Mr. Jackson?”

Ethan understood Shane’s hidden meaning immediately but had concerns. “Are they clean?”

He was worried about getting in trouble due to diseases.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jackson. They undergo regular check-ups and

can hold me responsible. You can even take my life.”

Shane patted his chest in assurance.

“You said it.”

Ethan pointed at Shane, his tone carrying a throat.

“Of course,” Shane said as he put his arm around Ethan’s shoulder, trying to act brotherly.

Ethan let Shane lead him to the back of the bar after considering that he hadn’t relaxed in a while and needed some fun. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Half an hour later, Ethan was done and lay in the private room, having sent the two girls away. Feeling exhausted, he wanted to rest, feeling that this way of relieving stress was very effective, and thinking of coming again the next time.

“Mr. Jackson,” Shane said as he pushed the door open and walked in.

When Ethan saw Share, he instinctively pulled the blanket up to cover his upper body as he wasn’t that familiar with Shane. “What are you doing? Are you crazy? Why did you come in suddenly?”

“Mr. Jackson, don’t be angry. I just wanted to ask how you felt to get some feedback. Were the girls’ services satisfactory?” Shane asked.

Ethan was speechless and felt that Shane was a bit of a p e v r t . “You’re such a o

Shane laughed, looking a little dizzy when he rubbed his temples.

He blinked as if trying to wake himself up from drowsiness, then looked at Ethan before saying “Mr. Jackson, I’m not a p s y c h o. But now that you’ve enjoyed yourself, I want to discuss something with you

Ethan had a bad feeling. “What is it? Why now? Why can’t you talk about it tomorrow?

Ethan was so tired that he just wanted to rest

Shane shook his head and answered, “No, I have to say it now since it is the perfect time.

“Mr. Jackson, now that you’ve made it big, if I ask to borrow some money from you, you wouldn’t refuse, would you?”

Ethan frowned. “We’re meeting for the first time and you’re asking me for money? Are you crazy?”

Shane decided to stop pretending and said, “Mr. Jackson, I’ll be honest with you. I’m not negotiating with you, I’m demanding. This room is under surveillance without any blind spots and I’ve captured your majestic appearance just now. If you don’t lend me money, I’ll upload all your videos.

“You’re a man of status now and no matter what, you need to protect your reputation, right? Besides, I’m to you in future,” Shane said without feeling ashamed.

borrowing money, not stealing as I’ll return

Only then did Ethan realize he had been set up and his face turned red with anger. Shane laughed at Ethan’s reaction, clutching his stomach and squatting down.

Shane said, “Mr. Jackson, I never thought you’d fall for it so easily. A few drinks and some sweet talk, and you’re h o o ke d. Don’t you have any sense of

caution?”

Shane was practically calling Ethan an idiot, starting to wonder how someone so naive could succeed in the medical field.

Ethan gritted his teeth, realizing he had underestimated Shane.

He was angry for a while but suddenly had an idea after thinking about Ibrahim’s suggestion to lend money at high interest. He felt that if Shane had the courage and wanted to play dirty, so could he

For the first time, Ethan kept his cool and asked, “How much do you want to borrow?”

Shane was surprised and a bit skeptical. “Wow, Mr. Jackson, you agreed so quickly. Are you willing to lend me money?”

“Yes, what else can I do? You have my private video,” Ethan said as he didn’t want a scandal to ruin his rising career. If his partners thought he was unreliable, they might back out and stop collaborating with him.

Also, Ethan was worried that Gabriel would make use of this matter to make a fuss and it would be troublesome.

“Great, Mr. Jackson, you’re so straightforward. You’re a real man.”

After a round of flattery, Shane tried to soothe Ethan’s mood. After all, Ethan was a member of the Jackson family, and provoking him would not end well. “Mr. Jackson, please don’t blame me as I had no choice but to resort to this. If I had known you were such a straightforward person, I would have asked to borrow the money directly instead of using such tactics. Rest assured, once the money is in my account, I will immediately delete all the videos, without keeping a single backup. You can come to check, and if you find any backup, I’ll return the money to you on the spot, okay?”

Ethan sneered. “I don’t need your verbal assurances. If you want to borrow money from me, let’s sign a contract. Tomorrow, I’ll have my assistant contact
