Ballard forced a smile. “Boss, don’t make fun of me. I’m just doing some small business, so I can’t earn a lot.”Thomas asked, “Tell me honestly, how much can you earn from collecting debt and being a loan shark every month?”Ballard hesitated, but he was so frightened by Thomas’ gaze that he immediately spoke honestly. “I can earn about four hundred thousand dollars for debt collection every month. I use the money for loan sharks. If I’m lucky, I can earn one million dollars in a month. If I don’t have luck, I can’t earn a single cent.”Thomas nodded. “So, you mean you can earn about one and a half million dollars every month?”Ballard’s face darkened as he spoke, “Actually, it’s not that much. You can also see that about twenty buddies work under me. Besides, I have a few women, and they are so good at spending money. The income is not sufficient for me every month.”This was true.Other than Ms. Floral, Ballard still had other women. All of them were not easily dealt with, and

Emma was so angry that she scolded in a low voice, “He’s such a jerk!”Thomas patted the dust off her body, and asked, “Who is this? Why do you look so polite to him?”Emma’s face darkened as she said, “He is Javier Kennedy, the chairman of Fonda Enterprise.“Didn’t you get the big renovation project for our Hill family a few days ago? After the board of directors of the Hill family, we realized that the project is too massive. Our family alone could not gather enough preliminary funds for investment, so we have to do it with other companies.“Javier is the son of Grandpa’s old friend. They have a lot of business with our Hill family, and the scale of Fonda Enterprise is also not small. So, Grandpa thought of collaborating with them.“As the project collaborator, Grandpa naturally asked me to carry out the business negotiation. In the end, you also saw that Javier is a jerk. He is so indirect about the investment, and he keeps looking at me weirdly. I feel uncomfortable.”Thomas

“Oh, you’re Miss Hill’s husband.”“Both of you are really a good-looking couple. Two of you are a perfect match.”“Come, I toast to you to show my respect to both of you.”As soon as they came, these people toasted them. Their aim could not be more obvious.Even an innocent person like Emma could also tell that people around the table did not have a good intention. When she wanted to ask Thomas not to bother, who would have known that… Thomas poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, and toasted the man. He politely said, “Thank you for your wish. Come, cheers!”“Cheers.”Two of them faced each other and drank wine.People in the room stared at Thomas like he was a fool. He directly drank a strong shot as soon as he just came, so he would have drunk unconsciously later.How would he be able to win against eight of them alone?Not to mention that Javier was a famous deep drinker.Javier secretly smiled. It seemed that Thomas was really a stupid guy as he did not even know he

“Come again.”The man with glasses quickly waved his hand. “No way. Please spare me. I really can’t drink it anymore.”Thomas ignored him. He continued opening his mouth and kept pouring ten glasses of wine until the man gushed out blood. Then, the man laid on the floor and twitched.When other people saw it, they were so frightened that they dared not move at all.Thomas refilled a few dozen glasses of wine again before he said to everyone, “Each of you drinks ten glasses. You can leave after you finish. Are you drinking by yourself or do you want me to feed you?” The man with glasses looked miserable, so they dared not let Thomas do the job. All of them took the initiative to raise the glass and start drinking.But, there were ten glasses of white wine. Every glass of wine they drank made them feel a gust of fire burning in their bellies. Someone could not even bear to drink two glasses, not to mention ten glasses.But, Thomas did not have any sympathy.He opened their mouth

Emma shook her head. She drove to rush back to the headquarter of Hill Manufacturing Company and brought Thomas back to the meeting room of the company.As soon as they entered the meeting room, they saw that a group of people sat beside the meeting table. They stared at Emma with a sarcastic gaze, and all of them looked happy for her unfortunate.Richard sat at the top, took a long breath out, and said, “Emma, do you know how serious the mistake you made?”Emma lowered her head, and she dared not speak.Richard continued saying, “You injure all of the people including Javier so severely. You made us and the Kennedy family become enemies now! They won’t give us any investment in our company, but also they will do everything to go against us! Emma, this is the good deed you’ve done!”He was so angry that he threw the cup to the floor. He angrily scolded, “Kneel down and apologize to me now!”The other people looked at Emma relaxingly. They could not wait to see her in a difficult
