I Inherited Billions

Chapter 58

When I saw how nervous Carl was, I wanted to tease him.

After mulling over it for a while, I let out a long sigh.

Carl was frightened by my sigh. His face turned pale and he slumped on the ground, murmuring, “It's over, it's over, my life is over…”

“Yes, your life is over. So you should just work for me to pay off your debt.” I said slowly.

Carl was already in despair, but after hearing what I said, he immediately raised his head and said with a puzzled face, “Brother-in-law, what do you mean? I don't have to die?”

“Yes, you don't have to die, but I am miserable,” I said very resentfully.

“I don't have to die?” Carl was overjoyed. He got up from the ground and became extremely excited.

After the excitement, he remembered something and continued, “Brother-in-law, why did you sigh just now?”

“Hector didn’t show me any respect at all. Although he promised to let you go, he wanted me to pay 50 million in compensation. Otherwise, he would never let you go.”

“Fifty million?” Carl was taken aback. “Why didn’t he just rob it from someone?”

“You also think that he’s asking for too much right? Why don’t I go reject him…” I said with a smile.

When Carl heard this, he became anxious. “Brother-in-law, 50 million is fine. We’ll just think of it as losing money to avoid disasters.”

“Haha, easy for you to say, but are you coming up with the 50 million, or am I going to come up with the money?”

“You should be the one coming up with the money, of course, Brother-in-law. I don’t have so much money,” Carl said.

“Hehe, why should I be the foolish spendthrift for you? I guess I don't want to marry your sister anymore.”

“No, please don’t!” Carl was anxious again. “Brother-in-law, you’ve come this far helping me, so please go the extra mile for me. Please pay 50 million for me. Don’t worry, we won’t ask for the 20 million betrothal gift anymore. In the future, our entire family will work extremely hard for you to repay you.”

“Heh.” I peered at Carl and continued to chuckle coldly.

“Brother-in-law, please help me. Or just treat this as me borrowing the money from you. I’ll write an IOU for this, what do you think?” Carl was willing to do anything to live.

“An IOU, huh? Go ahead then.” After I said that, I turned my gaze to Lorne.

Lorne understood immediately and went to look for paper and pen.

After a few minutes, Carl finished writing the IOU and also put his thumbprint on it.

After I blew some air on the IOU to dry the ink, I happily placed it in my pocket…

With this, Carl’s life is now in my hands.

…

After this was done, I happily brought Carl back to Waterfront Paradise.

Carl genuinely thought I paid 50 million to get him out. So, he was very respectful to me the entire way.

However, when we got back to Waterfront Paradise and he saw Montana, he finally had an outlet for the anger accumulating in his heart.

He strode straight to Montana and grabbed her hair to beat her up.

Luckily, I reacted quickly enough to stop him. “Carl, what the f*ck are you doing?”

“Brother-in-law, don’t stop me. I have to kill this b*tch today no matter what! If she didn’t hide and refuse to see me, would I get into such huge trouble?”

“Oh, b*tch?”

I smiled, but it was a smile with a coldness.

I walked to Carl slowly and slapped him hard across the face. “Say it one more time.”

“I…”

After I slapped Carl, he finally came to his senses.

After his sister got married, Montana would not be a lowly wench without backing.

When Carl thought about this, his expression kept changing. After a few seconds, he slowly walked toward Montana, who was squatting on the floor crying, and said gently, “Montana, I’m sorry. I was wrong, please stop crying.”

“W-What did you say?”

Montana was crying but when she heard her brother’s apology, she quickly lifted her head, her face painted with shock.

It was obvious that Montana, who had been bullied since she was young, had never heard her brother speak to her in such a gentle tone.

“I said, Montana, I was wrong, please stop crying.”

“A-Are you apologizing to me?’ Montana’s eyes were wide. She looked as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

“Montana, I was wrong back then, you have to forgive me…”

“You don’t need to apologize, just don’t hit me anymore,” Montana said with fear in her eyes.

“Don’t worry. From now on, I will never hit you again and I won’t let Dad hit you too,” Carl patted his chest and promised.

When Montana saw the changes in Carl, she turned her head to look at me, her eyes filled with shock.

Back then, I told her that when Carl got back, he would change and he would be obedient.

Now that everything was coming true, it was not strange that she would be so shocked.

While she was in shock, Carl said again, “Montana, I’ve told Mom and Dad about you and Freddie. They said they agree to your marriage.”

“Wait, marriage? What marriage?” Montana was startled.

I was worried that Montana would expose us so I tugged her sleeve. “Come to my room, I have something to tell you.”

…

After she followed me back to the room, I locked the door.

I said in a small voice after I made sure Carl was not eavesdropping, “You must be puzzled now, right?”

“Yeah, what’s going on? Why did Carl become so obedient? He had never been so gentle to me since childhood.”

“I can’t explain what exactly happened in just a few words. In short, I set a trap for him, and now, I am his debtor. He owes me 50 million right now and if he dares to go against me, I’ll hand him to the mob to let them chop him up and feed him to the fishes.”

After I said that, I took out an IOU from my pocket and showed it to Montana.

After Montana read it seriously, she was astonished. “I will also sign this kind of IOU, how did you do that?”

“His life was at stake so he had to sign in. Don’t ask about what happened exactly, it’s enough for you to know that this happened.”

“What about the marriage?”

“Um, I told him I like him and I want to be his brother-in-law to get him to believe me.”

“I see. Give me the IOU.”

“What are you going to do?”

“You’ll know soon.”

Montana put the IOU in her pocket and barged into the living room. At the same time, she yelled, “Carl, get the hell out right now!”

“You stupid b*tch, why are you screaming?” Carl walked in front of Montana angrily.

In the next second, Montana slapped him across the face.

“What the f*ck…”

Carl was stunned by that slap and subconsciously, he wanted to fight back.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw me grinning at him from behind.

So, he immediately came back to his senses and smiled at Montana. He said, “Montana, do you need anything?”

“Nothing, I just want to slap you.” After she said that, she slapped him again.

After Carl was slapped, his face was dark with anger.

Yet, since I was there, he did not dare to fight back and he could only let Montana slap him as she wished.

…

After Montana was done, she came to my room happily.

“Freddie, Carl didn’t even fight back. He’s always been the one hitting me since we were young and I didn’t expect that I'd be able to hit him back one day. This is great, I feel so great!”

Montana was elated. She was skipping around like a child.

However, I felt horrible when I saw her smiling so happily.

She must have suffered a lot of a***e since she was a child, right?

If not, she would not be so happy after slapping Carl a few times.

When I thought about this, I pulled Montana into my arms and said gently, “Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll support you and no one in your family will dare to bully you anymore.”

Initially, Montana was resisting when I pulled her into my arms. However, when she heard me saying that, her body softened and she leaned against my arms softly. Then, she started crying.

She was crying sadly and it seemed that she wanted to release all the grievances she suffered for so many years.

I patted her back softly and allowed her to drench my body with her tears.

After her cries quieted down, I handed her a tissue and said to her, “Stop crying. Your brother is still out there. Right, how is the sleeping arrangement tonight?”

Even though there were three rooms in this suite, there were only two beds so it was not enough for the three of us.

“Why don’t I let him sleep in my room?” Montana suggested.

“No, I know you don’t like him. Let him sleep in my room.”

“But where will you sleep?”

“I can sleep on the floor in the living room,” I said indifferently.

“No.” Montana shook her head to reject this idea. “We’re a couple to my brother so this will expose us easily.”

“Um, are you sure?” I was surprised.

“It’s fine. We slept together more than once now,” Montana said.

“Alright, I’ll sleep in the same room as you then.” I chuckled. “Don’t worry. It’ll just be sleeping and we won’t do anything else.”
