The Amazing son in law Chapter 988
William soon discovered that the interest rates from various online loan platforms were alarmingly high. Some rates were downright outrageous. For instance, if he borrowed seventy thousand dollars, he’d be required to repay a staggering hundred and thirty thousand dollars just a week later!
The interest rate was nearly double! Concerned, William turned to Jeff, his face etched with worry, and said, “Brother Jeff, these interest rates are outrageous. They’re almost equal to what I could earn by investing with you. If I borrow from them to manage my finances, wouldn’t I just be helping these online platforms profit?”
With a dismissive wave of his hand, Jeff smiled and reassured him, “Don’t fret. The loan platforms I recommended are run by my friends. While the interest rates seem high, I can have them waive the interest entirely with just a phone call.”
He continued, “The displayed interest rates are just for appearances; the actual workings behind the scenes are far more intricate. If you don’t fully grasp it, just follow my lead.” Official source is fındnovel.net
For much of his life, William had struggled financially, never truly seizing opportunities to make significant money. Now, he viewed Jeff as his savior.
He was determined to trust Jeff completely.
Under Jeff’s guidance, William took out nearly five hundred thousand dollars in loans from multiple online platforms.
He didn’t even bother calculating the total interest he would owe.
Why? Because Jeff assured him he wouldn’t have to pay any interest on these loans.
After that, William pooled the loan amounts and his savings, totaling six hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and transferred it all to Jeff.
This was a man who would typically go to great lengths to avoid being exploited, yet he found himself ensnared in a trap due to his eagerness to seize every opportunity.
Jeff was thrilled to receive the six hundred and twenty thousand dollars from William.
However, it wasn’t enough to resolve his own issues.
He had already lost one hundred thousand dollars on a meal that day, leaving him short by approximately five to six hundred thousand dollars.
Quickly, he instructed William, “You need to call your girlfriend right away. Tell her you’ve found a financial opportunity to earn a twenty percent profit in just one week! See if her mother would be interested in investing some money with you.”
William nodded eagerly and dialed his girlfriend’s number.
As soon as the call connected, he exclaimed, “Juanita, what are you up to?”
On the other end, Juanita made a peculiar sound before replying, “I…I’m at home. Uh…Why? What’s going on?”
Hearing her odd noises surprised William. He instinctively asked, “Juanita, what’s that sound?”
She responded, “Oh, my back is aching. I’m trying to relieve it by twisting on the bed…”
As she spoke, a soft sound of discomfort escaped her lips.
William immediately expressed concern, “Juanita, are you alright? If your back hurts, twisting it might make it worse. You should be careful!”
In the background, a persistent creaking noise suggested the mattress was being pressed down repeatedly.
Jeff was taken aback.
He could instantly tell something was off with Juanita’s tone. There was a strong likelihood that she was with another man at that very moment!
Yet, it was bewildering that William seemed completely oblivious to the situation, even while being deceived.
Was he truly that unaware?
Despite his greedy nature and tendency to chase every small gain, he couldn’t possibly be lacking in common sense, could he?
