Chapter 1 I Could Help You

1328 Words
"Eric, dry our clothes." There were three women sitting on the sofa. They have just massaged their feet and were chatting. The three beauties were sexy and have their own merits. These were Eric's wife and her two best friends. Hearing his wife's order, Eric, who had just cleaned the room, hurried to dry the clothes. He didn't dare to stop at all, just because he was the husband who lives on his wife. He has been married to Thea for three years, but they only had the name of husband and wife, not like a real couple. Eric hasn't even touched her fingers! Every day he slept on the floor of the storeroom, not even on the sofa. Because Thea thought he's dirty! Washing, cooking and mopping the floor were Eric's work. Once when he was mopping the floor, he accidentally knocked over a potted plant. As a result, his wife scolded him for half an hour. One night, Eric fell asleep on the sofa watching TV. When Thea was up at night, she found his feet on the sofa and slapped him directly in the face. That was the first time Eric was slapped. From his childhood, even his parents didn’t beat him. However, Eric dared not to get mad. He had to keep apologizing. That night, he was punished to kneel and didn't sleep all night. For three years, Eric has been used to this kind of life for three years. However, the most painful thing for Eric was that after three years, he fell in love with this woman. Although Thea despised him and scolded him as a loser! Eric was the eldest grandson of the Smith’s. The Smith was a fine family in the whole city. However, after the failure of investing and business, the Smith was no longer in its best times. A year after the fall of the Smith, he became a son-in-law. In the past three years, Eric realized the warmth and coldness of human relations. His former friends tried their best to stay away from him. In order to live, he could only choose to get married. He didn't mention it to anyone, even his wife Thea didn't know it. "Eric, what are you doing? Hurry and get some fruits for us. Hurry up!" Thea said discontentedly when she saw Eric enter the bedroom. "Ok," Eric responded. He didn't dare to neglect and hurried out. "Thea, you’ve done great work with your husband." Jenny joked with a smile. Thea glared at Eric and said in a cold voice, "I feel sick when I see him. Others have married a rich family. I get married with such a loser. He doesn't work all day and has no ambition. Tomorrow it would be our family gathering. I'm ashamed to take him there." Jenny saw Smith go into the kitchen. Indeed, he was dressed badly and looked like a poor loser. She smiled: "let's not talk about him, Thea, I heard that your company has a problem recently?" Thea nodded: "we lost millions in the clothing business last month. We couldn’t promote our brand, and no one wanted to buy the accumulated goods. Now the company is short of funds and needs at least 3 million. In these days, we must find an investor to support the company." Linda answered, "but Thea, your company is the last and insignificant in the Brown's. It would be difficult for the family to support you with three million." Thea nodded and didn't speak. Eric heard it clearly in the kitchen. But as her husband, he couldn't help her at all. Just then, Eric's mobile phone rang. It was from a strange number. "Hello?" Eric answered the phone suspiciously. "Young master?" The voice sounded like a middle-aged man with a tentative tone and some excitement. "I'm Eric Smith, who are you?" Eric frowned slightly, but he hadn't heard this title for many years. "Young master, it's really you!" The man on the phone was so excited, and he said, "I'm Zack Taylor." "Zack?" Eric frowned gently. Suddenly he remembered! Zack, a commercial genius, went bankrupt 13 years ago because he was betrayed by his friends. His wife and children were separated. He had nothing but 200000 debts. When he wanted to commit suicide in the river, Eric just met him and stopped him. Eric thought it was a pity that such a talent died. At that time, the Smith’s was also the most brilliant. Eric had money, so he helped him pay off his debts and even gave him 300000 to make a comeback. Zack shed tears of gratitude. He said he would repay this kindness. After that, Zack followed Eric's advice and went to Shanghai for development. A year later, he founded the Sky Group with his business talent. In fact, Eric saw Zack on TV many years ago. At that time, the Smith family had gone bankruptcy, and Zack was a successful entrepreneur and rich man with nearly 10 billion. "Eric, have you cut the fruit? Hurry up!" at this time, Linda's dissatisfied urge came. "All right, coming right away" Eric answered. Zack on the phone obviously heard something about Eric, so he hung up and said he would text him. Soon, Zack's text message came. "Young master, it's hard for me to find you these years. Fortunately, I can finally repay you." "What repay?" Eric returned to the message, smiling bitterly. Pay back? Half a million, or with more interest? "Young master, have you forgotten? You have 60% shares in the Taylor’s. I will pay you dividends every year. I just transferred you 100 million." What? What the f**k!! Eric almost jumped from the ground! Trying to hold back his excitement, Eric sent the cut fruit to the three women. Quickly he got into the bedroom, Eric immediately got his bank card. This card has been abandoned for four years. It was an adult gift from grandpa on his 18th birthday eight years ago. This was a symbol of identity, because only with a deposit of at least 100 million could he apply for the supreme black card, and each one had a special consultant. The Smith was bankrupt. He had no money and no longer used this card. Eric quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the service line. "Hello, Mr. Smith, how can I help you?" a woman's sweet voice sounded with respect. "Hey, help me check the balance." "OK, wait a minute." The woman responded. After ten seconds, the woman said: "Mr. Smith, your card balance is 354.65 million." When the voice fell, Eric hung up the phone directly. More than 300 million? Ha ha ha! "Thea, look at Eric. He's checking his balance." The best friend Linda couldn't help laughing. Thea glanced at Eric and said with a sneer, "For the family gathering tomorrow, you should buy some decent clothes. Don't embarrass me. I give you 100 yuan a day. Have you saved a lot in the past three years?" "Thea, I really don't understand you. You have to give this loser money. If I were you, I would be divorced long ago. What's the use of him?" Linda said. "Yes, such a loser." Jenny agreed. Eric ignored it, walked over excitedly and looked at Thea: "you are short of three million, or... Or I could help you?" "Ha ha..." Linda looked at the serious Eric strangely and couldn't help laughing. "Eric, I heard that you are from the countryside. Do you know the concept of three million? How could you think of a way? What can you do? If you can really get three million, I could be your lover!" "Really?" Eric smiled, "then don't forget what you said." Thea was upset when he mentioned the three million. Was there something wrong with Eric? He got no money. What was he doing here? "Get out of the way and leave us alone." "Ok." Eric responded without explaining.
