Chapter 64: Some Distant Cousin
"What now?"
"A bet," Matthew said smoothly, glancing at the attendant. "You’ll be our witness."
The attendant blinked, unsure, but nodded in response. "Of course, sir."
Matthew turned back to them. "If I can pay for this truck in full, right now, no loans, no financing, each of you will send me $50,000 within the next hour."
Dean raised a brow. "That’s it?"
"And," Matthew added. "You’ll also serve as my driver and personal attendant at the Valentine’s Gala."
"And if you lose?" Adam asked.
"I will give you a hundred thousand each. How’s that?" Matthew smiled.
"If you lose, you give us a hundred thousand and you kneel and apologize in front of the entire school. You will also be our attendant for a week, you will buy our food and everything that we want using your own money. How’s that?" Dean said.
Matthew lifted an eyebrow this time. He hadn’t expected Dean to be this ruthless.
Matthew eyed the tattoo Dean no longer bothered to hide. Now that it was out in the open, it struck him as something tied to family—maybe even legacy. He remembered trying to piece together what happened to Dean and his family after graduation, but nothing ever stood out. They left the city quietly, and Matthew never heard from them again. Still, he knew Dean came from another prominent family.
