Chapter 152 A Rented Car

Finally, the moment everyone was afraid of had arrived. Excuses and complaints soon followed.

“I… I only have a thousand with me.”

“I don’t have money! I haven’t even paid my personal bills!”

“I have ten thousand, but that’s far from enough!”

They could barely pitch in eighty thousand, so there was no way they were going to pay up the sum.

While they were scrambling around, Jared sat comfortably on a couch in the lobby. He was served with

refreshments by the staff as soon as he sat down.

“If you guys don’t pay up, we can’t let you leave.” The cashier was getting fed up while waiting for the

payment. She then announced on her walkie-talkie to request for the hotel security guards. “To the

security department, please be informed that we have a situation at the payment counter. There are

customers who can’t pay for their meals.”

Upon hearing that, Lincoln and the others jumped in fright.

Within a few seconds, they were surrounded by more than ten armed security guards.

Their knees were wobbling in fear because they had never been in such a tense situation before.

Under the dire circumstances, everyone’s eyes were glued to Lincoln. If they were ever going to get free,

he was their only hope.

However, Lincoln’s face turned pale when he saw the murderous looks the security guards had on their

faces.

“Lincoln, you came in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, right? Why don’t you just tell them you’ll leave your car

here as collateral?”

“That’s right! Just leave your car here. Once you’ve received the money you mentioned, you can just

come back and pay.”

“Exactly. Unlike you, Lincoln, we aren’t rich. I’m sure a million means nothing to you!”

The others came up with the idea and showered Lincoln with compliments again.

At that moment, Lincoln’s face had embarrassment written all over it. “The car… The car is rented. I’m

supposed to return it after dinner. I can’t leave it here.”

Lincoln’s words left everyone absolutely appalled. Michelle gaped in astonishment as well.

Everyone felt utterly embarrassed because they didn’t believe Jared when he said that Lincoln had only

rented the car.

At that moment, everyone panicked because if Lincoln was a fraud, that would mean they had to fork up

for the bill themselves.

“Since none of you could pay, we’ll have to detain all of you!” the cashier said in annoyance. She then

instructed the guards, “Bring all of them to the office. The manager will deal with them. They’re cramping

the place up!”

The guards then proceeded to drag all of them away by force.

Suddenly, Lincoln yelled out, “I… I’ll pay my own share. Let me go! You can keep the rest of them.”

Due to the devastating situation, Lincoln had decided to abandon the rest and save himself.

Everyone was stupefied when they heard Lincoln say that.

Michelle grabbed his hand and begged, “H-How about me, Lincoln? Are you not going to pay for me?”

“Get lost! I don’t have that much money!” Lincoln shoved Michelle away aggressively. I must get away

now! Otherwise, I might even get beaten up!

Michelle was at a loss for words. She had never thought that Lincoln would be such a heartless man.

“No. That’s not possible. Unless the bill is cleared entirely, none of you is allowed to leave.” The cashier

rejected Lincoln coldly.

Lincoln was stunned. So we’re all doomed unless we can pay off the outstanding of more than a million.

“Why did you act all high and mighty when you’re just a poor bloke? How ridiculous!”

“It’s all your fault! Why did you order brandy when you’re penniless?”

“More than a million! What are we going to do now?”

Everyone turned livid and didn’t hold back on their remarks directed at Lincoln and Michelle.

“Jared, please have some mercy! Help me get out of this, and I’ll pay you back later,” Yvonne begged

Jared.
