Chapter 727:

Brian pulled out his wallet and handed the couple $1,000. He explained, “My girlfriend just left in the taxi ahead after an argument, and she’s furious with me. I need to catch up with her before things get worse. Please, I’d really appreciate your help.”

Hearing this, the woman in the car let her guard down and accepted the money.

Beaming with joy, the couple stepped out, hand in hand. Before leaving, they thanked Brian several times, clearly pleased with the unexpected windfall.

Brian, in turn, turned to the driver and was just as generous. “Sir, I’ll offer you $1,000 too. Can you catch up to the taxi ahead?”

The driver grinned with confidence. “Of course, I can. Don’t worry.”
