Chapter 66 Group Tickets for Going Out!
"If we fail, we'll have no way out!" Sarah's eyes teared up as she looked at Ryder, hoping he could change his mind.
In truth, she really wanted to say, "We are definitely going to fail this time, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Before Ryder could reply, Karen couldn't hold her breath any longer and urgently grabbed Sarah's arm, saying, "I beg you, please stop being stubborn and causing trouble with this useless Ryder. If he wants to die, it's none of our business. We can't let others laugh at us anymore!"
Ernest wore a grim expression and said, "Sarah! We're getting too old for all this. Even if it's for our sake, please stop being so stubborn!"
Sarah was already torn, and now with her parents playing the family card, she became even more indecisive.
However, at this moment, Grandpa Johnson, with a stern face, reprimanded Sarah's parents. "You two idiots, shut your mouths! This is a bet between us, and it has nothing to do with you! Plus, Ryder just now made it clear in front of everyone that it can't be changed! Today, this bet must be signed, and nothing can stop it!"
Saying this, he signaled to Matthew and Lawrence.
The two brothers immediately stood up and forcefully pulled Karen and Ernest away, saying, "Brother, sister-in-law, forget about this matter! If you speak again, dad won't be happy!"
Sarah's parents had no choice but to keep quiet!
As things had escalated to this point, Sarah realized that it was no longer just a matter of refusing to sign.
In the end, she could only sigh heavily, fight back her tears, and sign her name on the agreement!
Four copies of the contract were made.
Andy took the contract and carefully read through it, making sure there were no issues. Then, he stood up and sarcastically said to Ryder and Sarah, "You poor souls, in three days, we look forward to your performance!"
Abigail approached Ryder with a gloating smile and said, "Ryder! I haven't forgotten about the TikTok video you asked me to film. I'll go back and research the most creative script for you to shoot in three days. I guarantee it will make you go viral!"
After ridiculing the Johnson family, everyone bid farewell to Sophia and left.
They all seemed delighted, as if they could already imagine Ryder's failure in three days.
People from the Windsor Group also sneered and left.
Shortly after, Sophia and her team also departed.
Only Ryder, Sarah, and her parents remained in the meeting room.
Two couples, sitting side by side.
Karen held her head, crying, "I'm so unlucky! Why did I marry into the Johnson family? A useless husband, a disobedient daughter, and now a worthless son-in-law who's going to ruin our family! What's the point of living? It would be better to die..."
Ernest sat on the side, sighing deeply, his face contorted in worry.
"It's over, everything is over..."
Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, Sarah's tears welled up. Her gaze at Ryder held anger, resentment, stubbornness, and distrust. "Ryder! Are you satisfied now?"
"What do I have to be satisfied about?" Ryder replied, confused.
Sarah furrowed her brows, choked up as she said, "At a time like this, why are you still pretending? Haven't you been suppressing yourself for too long in the Johnson family all these years? Now you found an opportunity to vent! Are you satisfied with how things have turned out now? I understand your mood, but this foolish behavior of yours has greatly disappointed me."
Pausing for a moment, she added with bitterness, "Ryder, you've changed..."
Ryder reached into his pocket and took out a tissue. He gently wiped away Sarah's tears and said softly, "Perhaps it seems like I've changed a lot recently from your perspective, but please allow me to sincerely say that no matter when or where, no matter what happens, my love for you will never waver, nor will it harm you in any way."
Sarah's body tensed up, and she stared at Ryder for a long time without uttering a word.
The Windsor Group and the Johnson family members left the conference room, chatting and laughing as they took the elevator downstairs.
In their minds, they couldn't help but fantasize about the great joy that would come three days later.
The more they thought about it, the happier and more excited they became.
Just as they reached the entrance, the chief of the security team, accompanied by other security guards, blocked their way, holding a card reader in their left hand and a baton in their right hand, revealing a "gentle" smile.
"Everyone, please purchase group tickets before leaving."
