Living With My Lady Boss - Season 9 Episode 86

The older woman was instantly taken aback.

She scoffed coldly after a moment and said, “Let’s go, Sadie. Wait until your father comes back before we expose this scammer. Your father needs a wake-up call.”

Sadie stood up and looked at Wilbur, then said, “You’re not pulling off this scheme of yours, trash.”

Then, they left Wilbur alone.

He felt like they would instruct someone to beat him up if he was not requested by Damon.

He shook his head and laughed. He wondered why the mother-and-daughter duo did not trust Damon at all.

Wilbur thought perhaps they did not realize the severity of the problem faced by Wright Corp.

He felt like Damon was not an idiot since he ran a major enterprise.

He started to shut his eyes and meditate as he waited quietly.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man rushed in.

Wilbur opened his eyes to look at him.

The man was in his fifties, and he was slightly fat. His clothes were obviously from luxury brands. He had a worrisome look in his eyes that he could not hide.

“Are you Mister Penn?” The man reached out with both hands as soon as he walked in.

Wilbur stood up and shook the man’s hands, replying, “Yes.”

“I’m Damon Wright. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” Damon apologetically gestured to Wilbur to have a seat, then sat next to him.

A servant finally served him some beverages.

Damon noticed it and instantly scolded, “Why didn’t you make my guest feel welcomed?”

The servant stood there frightfully without saying a word.

Wilbur laughed it off and said, “It’s fine. Let’s talk about the serious stuff. I have another issue waiting for me to resolve.”

Damon sighed deeply before he said, “It’s all because of my son. That brat will get us all killed one day.”

Wilbur said nonchalantly, “Tell me everything.”

“I didn’t know when that brat got a gambling addiction. I can’t believe he went to Aroma Casino and lost around two billion dollars. He was detained, and the debt collectors found us. They want me to pay within ten days in exchange for my son,” said Damon in a pained voice as he shook his head.

Wilbur frowned and asked, “What? I’m afraid the money lost has to be paid. It’s only fair to pay what is owed. What can I help you with?”

Wilbur wondered if Damon wanted to avoid paying the money when his son lost the gamble.

He would not accept a job like that.

Damon shook his head and replied, “I talked to that brat. He only lost five hundred million dollars, but six months later, the interest summed up to two billion dollars. Where can I get two billion dollars in cash to pay for his debt?” “Holy shit!”

Wilbur had to curse.

500 million dollars to two billion dollars in six months. Since when did money become that easy to earn?

It was legal to gamble at Aroma Casino, but the debt was clearly illegal. Damon was conned for sure.

“Mister Wright, how about I talk to the debt collectors about how much is owed? Is that alright?” asked Wilbur.

Damon sighed and replied, “That’s not all. That brat secretly sold a lot of company shares. The three major family enterprises of the South Market suddenly ganged up on me, forcing me to give up the CEO position. I’m trapped in a tough position, and there’s nothing I can do.”

Wilbur was instantly stunned.

Things were getting suspicious.

He was stunned for a long while, and something seemed fishy the more he thought about it.

Were the three major families conspiring against him?

Wilbur wanted to speak, but Sadie and her mother, Sally Wright, appeared.

“What were you thinking? How could you use the bronze cauldron in exchange for his help? He’s just a young man. What can he possibly do? Aren’t you in over your head?” Sally complained.

Sadie chimed in, “Dad, look at him. This loser doesn’t look like someone competent at all. Hurry up and retrieve the bronze cauldron. That’s our family heirloom that costs hundreds of millions.”
