The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 589

Elaine had completely fallen into a pit. She did not realize that she had already fallen into a trap. All she could think about was how she could win her money back. 5

Therefore, Elaine got very nervous when she heard that Linda did not want to continue playing anymore. At this time, she blurted out immediately, "How can w e stop playing just because you want to stop playing now?! We already agreed to play another eight rounds! We have only played three rounds now!" 2

Linda replied helplessly, "Sister Elaine, it's not that I d 0 not want to play with you anymore. However, the point is that you do not have the money to play with u s anymore!" 1

After she was done speaking, Linda said, "Why don't w e take a step back instead? Why don't you settle this account first and then, we can play a smaller game? I will still accompany you to play even if it is a one thousand dollars or one hundred dollars game. Will that be fine?”

"One thousand dollars? One hundred dollars?" Elaine blurted out anxiously. "How could we do that? How can I possibly win my money back if we are only going to place such small bets?" 1

Linda replied helplessly, "Well, if you want to continue betting ten thousand dollars, you have to take out your

money first. Otherwise, I do not want to play anymore and we will just stop playing today." 1

Hannah hurriedly stepped in and said, "Sister Linda, Elaine really does not have so much money on hand. Since we are all friends, why don’t you give her a way out?" 1

After that, Hannah secretly winked at Linda.

Linda immediately understood what Hannah was trying to tell her. "Alright then, I will give you face today because of Hannah. If you do not have any more cash, you can use something else of equal value as a mortgage instead."

As soon as Linda said these words, Elaine suddenly felt as though she had been given a way out of hell.

Elaine hurriedly replied, "The house that I am living in now is a small three-bedroom apartment. I think it should be worth two million dollars at least. Is it okay i f I mortgage the house to you?" i

"That would be fine!" Linda smiled before she said, " However, you have to bring me the house deed first. After that, you have to write me a mortgage contract."

Elaine blurted out immediately, "Okay, then. Wait for m e. I will go home and bring the house deed over to you right now!" 1

After she was done speaking, Elaine hurriedly got up t o leave. 4

Very soon, Elaine returned to the villa at Thompson First with the house deed in her hands. 3

After getting the house deed, Linda immediately searched for the market value of a house in the same community on her cell phone. At this time, she found out that the lowest price for a house of the same value was only one million and eight hundred dollars. Therefore, she looked at Elaine as she said, "Sister Elaine, the bank generally recognizes only ninety percent of the market value of the house whenever they accept any mortgage. The market value for your house is one million and eight hundred thousand dollars. So, even if you mortgage your house, you will only get one million six hundred and twenty thousand dollars." 3

All Elaine wanted at this point was to continue playing mahjong with them so that she could turn things around. Therefore, she blurted out immediately, "Alright then, I will mortgage my house t o you for one million six hundred and twenty thousand dollars. After deducting the three hundred thousand dollars that I owe you, you can just transfer one million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars to me. We can continue playing after that. What do you think?"

Linda replied, "That will be fine, but we will have to draw up a mortgage contract first. Otherwise, I am afraid that you will refuse to acknowledge it when you lose the house to me later.” 1

Elaine said anxiously, "Alright then, let's hurry up and sign the mortgage contract now so we can continue playing already!" 4

After that, Elaine signed a mortgage contract with Linda and also pressed her fingerprint on the contract. After the mortgage contract had been signed, Linda transferred one million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars to Elaine.

Linda did not care about that money at all because she knew that even though she was transferring those one million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars to Elaine, it would all come back to her soon.
