The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1053

Joey pursed his lips awkwardly upon the man's harsh and direct remark. He dared not oppose him, hence he cleared his throat and hurriedly saying, "Alright, buddy, eight hundred then. Come quick! I'm in a hurry.” 1

"Wait, how do I know if you're cheating me? You are always so unreliable, I f*cking learned my lesson a long time ago! Transfer the money over to me first!” 1

"Okay, alright, buddy, calm down! I'll transfer the money over to you right now. Hurry, come quick, don't take so long!” i

"I’ll go when I receive the money. No money, no talk!” 4

Joey hastily took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, and was ready to transfer eight hundred dollars to the man, but when he clicked to confirm the payment, he realized that his account had insufficient balance! s

Only now that he realized he gave almost all of his savings to Max and only left five hundred dollars for himself as his daily expenses. His logic was simple-the more he gave, the more he earned, so he decided t o be thrifty to himself with the five hundred dollars until he received the earnings from the so-called investment.

As a result, he couldn't even fork out eight hundred

dollars now. 2

He had no choice but to transfer five hundred dollars first and then sent the man a voice message, saying," Hey, buddy, I'm so sorry, I only have five hundred dollars now, you take it first. I'll transfer the remaining three hundred to you as soon as I have the money!”

He immediately received a voice message, "Shut the f* ck up, d*mn it! Do you think it's the first day I know you? Last time, when I traveled to Hong Kong with my girlfriend, you asked me to buy a set of cosmetics for your girlfriend which cost me 1,320 dollars, you only paid me 1,100 and said that you would give me as soon as you got your salary. What happened? You still owe me two hundred and twenty today! How can you expect me to trust you again?” 5

Joey pleaded urgently, "Buddy, I'm so sorry for that incident, it is my fault, I forgot about it! Please, don't worry, I’ll never forget this, please trust me one more time! I'll pay you together with the two hundred and twenty dollars, okay?"

"You take the five hundred first, then come and help m e tow the car away. When I sell the car, I'll pay you the remaining five hundred and twenty, okay? Let’s round it up, I'll give you six hundred!"

The man insisted. "Nope! You must pay me eight hundred today, or I won't go. Sorry, man." 1

After the voice message, the man clicked to accept the payment, then returned two hundred and eighty

In short, they had no money to lend to Joey.

Joey stomped his feet in despair and called his girlfriend as the last resort.

"Janice baby, could you lend me five hundred and twenty dollars, please?"

While panting heavily, his girlfriend said, "Joey Jensen, are you out of your mind? My girlfriends receive money from their boyfriend and you dare to ask me for money? Are you not ashamed of yourself?" 6

Joey explained hurriedly, "Baby, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this, but I urgently need the money right now. Lend it to me first, and I’ll pay you back when I get my salary." 5

The girl moaned a few times before saying, "...Joey Jensen... you... you... you're so useless... don't you even have five hundred and twenty dollars in your pocket? What about your savings? Don't you have like a hundred thousand in your savings? Where did it go?" 4

"Argh, it’s a long story. Please give me five hundred and twenty first, I’ll pay you back later alright, baby?"
