Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 169 HeTakes the Bait

Ivy cast a sidelong glance at Zachary. "Didn't Dad just buy you a new car recently? What car are you eyeing now?"

Zachary had a penchant for buying cars and changing girlfriends, which led Ivy to guess that he was asking for money to buy another car.

Each of them received a basic allowance of fifty thousand dollars a month, not including living expenses, which, of course, far exceeded fifty thousand dollars for either of them.

They also had a credit card with a substantial limit, which Magnus paid off monthly. If they maxed out the credit card, they would simply ask Magnus for more money.

Their monthly expenditures were often several hundred thousand dollars. Usually, they spent over a million. Magnus was generous with them, and they could have whatever they wanted for a few tens of thousands of dollars.

But this time, it involved tens of millions of dollars, and Zachary had just gotten a new car not long ago. Even Magnus's indulgence had its limits.

"You have to help me, Ivy. I've gotten myself into serious trouble," Zachary said, his face losing its usual arrogance, alerting Ivy that something was amiss.

"What happened exactly?" Ivy was now fully awake.

"Last night I drank too much. The woman I've been seeing recently cheated on me with another man. In a fit of rage, I fought with the man and trashed Irene's bar. Now she's demanding over ten million in damages, or else she'll go to Grandpa."

"What? You dared to smash up Irene's place? Are you tired of living?" Everyone knew that Irene was no ordinary woman.

Rumors had it that she had a deeply influential mystery man backing her, which explained why her stunning beauty didn't attract unwanted advances.
