Chapter 168 Transferring Money
Caius was extremely anxious. "Chloe, please give me the account number. I'm begging you—hurry up, and I'll transfer the money immediately."
Chloe's brain was a bit overwhelmed. 'He's begging to give me money? Just for a few drinks?'
Looking at Ewan lying on the ground, beaten unconscious, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. 'Could it be the mysterious Mr. Bennett again? He is in Sunset City, but this is Neon City. How could he know about this? Is he that powerful? '
There were quite a few people in the private room, but the scene was silent. No one dared to speak.
After a moment, Chloe finally spoke, "Forget it, it's just a few drinks, no big deal."
Two billion dollars was too much, and she didn't dare to take it.
Caius glanced at Larry.
Larry, sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette, looked at Chloe and said, "Honey, are you crazy? If you don't take it, it's a waste. This is two billion dollars, an amount most people can't earn in several lifetimes. I've heard that the Martinez family is a huge family with assets worth hundreds of billions. They don't lack money."
Caius hurriedly said, "The Martinez family doesn't lack money. Ewan was too bold to make you drink with him, Chloe. One billion dollars for one glass is perfectly reasonable."
Chloe looked troubled.
Larry glanced at the still-dazed Sam and Mindy, constantly giving them looks.
Sam finally reacted and said, "Chloe, what are you waiting for? Give him the account number."
Saying this, he came up to Caius. "Is my account okay? You can transfer the money to me, it's the same."
Caius looked at Larry.
Larry immediately scolded, "Sam, what are you doing? This is Chloe's money. If you take it, can you give it back?"
Caius was so anxious he was about to cry. "Chloe, I'm begging you. Please give me the account number and I'll transfer the money right away."
Chloe had no choice but to give her bank account number. Caius immediately made the transfer.
Caius, the current head of the Martinez family, was a prestigious client of the bank. No matter how much he transferred, it was approved instantly.
So, Chloe received the money very quickly, the whole process took less than five minutes.
Seeing the balance in her account, Chloe felt a bit surreal.
"Chloe, did you receive it?" Caius asked.
Chloe said woodenly, "Yes, I received it."
"Can I leave now? Can I take Ewan with me?"
"Go ahead."
"Okay." Caius felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He ordered his surbodiantes to take the severely injured and unconscious Ewan and quickly left the private room.
After they left, the Martins slowly regained their wits, their eyes all fixed on Chloe.
They had long known that Chloe knew many big shots and had great influence in Sunset City. But they didn't expect her power to be so great that even Caius of the Martinez family would kneel and give her two billion.
"Chloe, is it really two billion dollars?" Sam looked at Chloe eagerly.
"There's no two billion," Chloe rolled her eyes at Sam and said, "Not a single penny. Do you think two billion is something you can just give away?"
"No, but he did transfer money. Chloe, don't lie to me. I don't want your money. Even if I did, it would be at most one billion. What's wrong with giving me one billion out of two billion?"
Chloe was still in a daze. She found all this too strange.
And the Martins all gathered around.
Cassian asked in confusion, "Chloe, what's going on? This is Caius, the leader of the Martinez family, a big boss worth hundreds of billions. Why did he come to you?"
"Yeah, Chloe, just how powerful are you?"
"Who's helping you behind the scenes?"
"Caius of the Martinez family seems to be very afraid of you?"
The Martins discussed intensely.
Chloe was also very puzzled by this matter, but she could roughly guess that it must have been the mysterious Mr. Bennett who intervened.
She didn't expect the mysterious Mr. Bennett's power to be so great that even Caius of Neon City feared him. She took a deep breath. Her head was spinning, and she didn't want to think about these things anymore.
"It's nothing, let's go back. By the way, let me remind you, don't talk about today's events to others. This is Caius of the Martinez family, a person worth over a hundred billion. If this gets out, it will damage his reputation. With the Martinezes' power, dealing with the Martins would be too easy." She reminded them and then stood up to leave.
After taking a few steps, Chloe was about to collapse. Larry caught her in time. With his support, she left the private room.
The Martins were very surprised.
"Cassian, is Chloe really that powerful?"
"Yeah, the formidable Caius just begged Chloe. It's unbelievable."
Cassian sat on a chair and lit a cigarette. He was a businessman and knew many big shots, but he had never met Caius because his net worth wasn't enough. He never expected Caius to obediently give away two billion dollars.
At this moment, he deeply realized the power of the person behind Chloe. He had heard about Chloe's background. The person behind her was the mysterious Mr. Bennett.
Cassian said, "No one is allowed to speak about what happened here today."
"Okay."
"Cassian, I won't say a word," the others replied.
Meanwhile, Chloe was already in the car. She had drunk too much and felt really dizzy. She didn't want to think too much.
Larry asked, "Honey, are we going back to the Martin residence, or somewhere else?"
Chloe leaned back in the seat, opened her eyes slightly, and said, " Let's get a hotel room and sleep there. We'll go back tomorrow."
"Okay." Larry then turned on his phone, searched for nearby hotels, and drove there.
Soon, they arrived in front of a five-star hotel. After parking the car, Larry got out first, opened the passenger door, and helped Chloe out.
Chloe's face was flushed, and she had no strength at all. As soon as she got out of the car, she leaned into Larry's arms. The alluring fragrance of her skin entered his nose, deeply stimulating his nerves.
Larry held her slender waist, his emotions churning. Supporting Chloe, he walked towards the hotel entrance.
Not far away, a few young men who had drunk too much were singing as they walked.
"Lucian, look!" A thug saw Chloe being supported by Larry and instantly got excited, pointing at her and shouting.
Hearing this, everyone looked up. Seeing her, they were very surprised.They had seen beautiful women, but never one this stunning.
The thug said, "Lucian, it looks like this beauty is drunk. Look at man beside her, he's dressed too plainly, clearly not rich. He must have picked up this beauty on the street and is planning to take her to a hotel. We can't miss this chance."
