Jessie Diaz from the Grand Empire Group called as soon as he took out his phone.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

Why is Jessie calling at this hour?

Could it be...

That’s impossible. This has to be a coincidence.

“Do you dare to talk on speaker phone?” Zeke said coolly.

Henry snorted, “Why not?”

He switched to speaker phone immediately. “Hello, Ms. Diaz...”

Jessie’s tone was impassive. “Jones, you have violated our terms of agreement when you signed the endorsement contract without prior authorization from the Grand Empire Group. As per our terms, the one billion penalty takes effect as of now.”

“I’ve already filed for the coercive judgment enforcement from the court. All your bank accounts and credit cards will be frozen, along with your fixed assets. Prepare to face jail term if you cannot pay the one billion by tonight.”

Wh-what?!

Henry shuddered at her words and looked at Zeke in despair.


Grand Empire Group is really slamming me with the one-billion penalty!

That means Zeke Williams is indeed the President of the Grand Empire Group!

When did Grand Empire Group change hands? Why am I not aware of this?

I really screwed up big time.

Henry’s phone kept ringing.

They were calls from the court and some banks.

“Mr. Jones, your bank account has been frozen, please visit the nearest branch to settle the account closing procedure as soon as possible...”

“Mr. Jones, Oakheart City Civil Court has officially filed a case against you.”

Henry was devastated.

He thought his life was only starting to get better. However, all his savings combined did not even amount to a million in total, how could he afford to pay the one-billion penalty?

“Lacey, please forgive me... Could you revoke the penalty? I’ll become the ambassador of Linton Group for free.” Henry begged at her.

Mrs. Jones was getting exasperated at this point too and started begging Daniel and Hannah, “Please let my son off this time, I only have him...”

Zeke sighed, “He has to bear the consequences of his own actions. However, seeing that we are neighbors, I could show you guys a way out.”

He pointed at two bowl of noodles on the table, “Eat it.”

Huh?

Henry was taken aback, “Those are Daniel and Hannah’s leftovers...”

Zeke replied, “You’ll go to jail if you don’t eat it.”

“Okay, I’ll eat it...” Henry could only agree.

He took a fork and nibbled on the noodles.

Henry felt like vomiting as soon as the noodles touched his lips.
