Chapter 344

Janet wanted to hang up on Tyler right away. At first, she thought he was simply not worthy of anyone’s trust, but now she realized he was a total scumbag.

“Didn’t I just give you fifty thousand dollars two days ago?” she grunted.

“It’s not enough. You have my bank account details. Just wire the money! I promise you, this will be the last time, Janet. Just do me a solid one last time.” Tyler was clearing taking her for granted.

Janet rubbed her temples and bluntly replied, “Tyler, I don’t have a hundred grand!”

Even if she did have that kind of money, she would never give it to him. Obviously, he was up to no good now that he was borrowing money from her again.

Unable to persuade her, Tyler decided to suggest a different method. “Well, can you borrow from your friends or get a loan? I’ll pay you back in two weeks!”

Janet fell silent for a few seconds and became even more annoyed. ‘How could he ask me to get a loan?’

Fueled by rage, she growled, “I’m not going to get a loan for you! What on earth happened anyway?

Why do you need so much money?”

Not wanting to tell the truth, Tyler responded, “It’s for business. You know how businesses are. Fifty grand isn’t nearly enough. I need to rent an office space, hire employees, and pay tuition to learn more about running a business.”

Naturally, Janet didn’t believe him. Worried that she was being too loud and was disturbing everyone else at work, she decided to leave the office, and walked out of the company building. The sky was overcast. It appeared that it would rain heavily pretty soon.

Since nobody else was around, she raised her voice and said, “You’re only just starting out! Just set up a God damned stall, and sell some street snacks or daily necessities. Don’t dream too big when you’re just starting. You don’t have to make much money. I’m the one supporting Hannah anyway. Besides, you don’t have to hire employees so soon. You should use your own hands to work on everything. And in the event that you fail to make money, you won’t lose too much.”

Tyler sighed and replied, “But that’s exhausting. I have to take care of my mom, so I won’t have that much time to do business all day. I really have to hire employees.”

“Doing business is never easy. Don’t you know that already? No job in this world is easy! If you want to make money, you’d best prepare yourself to go through hardships,” Janet remarked frankly. She couldn’t figure out why Tyler was unable to comprehend the way things worked in the world at his age.

He’d been trying to persuade Janet for a long time, but it didn’t seem like she’d agree to loan him some money. He burst into tears and cried, “Janet, I really need your help. Please! Okay, I’m going to tell you the truth. Before I came home, I amassed some debt due to gambling. I don’t have enough money to pay my creditors back. I don’t have any other choice but to ask you for help. If I don’t pay them back, they’re gonna kill me!”

Janet was surprised that Tyler was in debt again.

“Didn’t you promise us that you’ve changed? Why do you have debts again?” Janet gritted her teeth, infuriated by the fact that she was fooled.

Even though she was mentally prepared that Tyler might never pay her the fifty grand that he owed her, she still felt furious when she found out that he had been lying to her.

Tyler sniffled. He realized that this was the end of the rope for him. “I don’t have any other choice. I need to pay them back. Janet, will you promise not to tell my mom about this? I really have decided to change, but I need to solve these problems first before I can start over. I’ll pay you back everything I owe you, I promise!”
