Travis hesitated to take the Rejuvenating Pill and quickly eximed, “Master Wade, I haven’t made the payment yet, so I can’t take the pill from you. I’ll contact mypany’s financial department and have the money transferred to your ount immediately.”


    Charlie smiled and nodded. He then retrieved his card and handed it to Travis. “Here’s my card; please transfer the funds to this ount.”


    Sam was taken aback when he caught sight of the card. Wasn’t that the exclusive ck card from Citibank?


    Only a handful of individuals in the country possessed such a card.<fn2229> Original content can be found at Find?Novel</fn2229>


    Additionally, Citibank offered exceptional privacy protection for their exclusive ck card members. Who exactly was Charlie, and how did hee to have this card?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At that moment, Charlie turned to Sam and said with a yful smile, “Master Kilgore, your ne is valued at 120 million dors, while my Rejuvenating Pill is worth 2 billion. I believe it’s clear which item holds more value, don’t you think?”


    Sam’s face contorted into an irritated grimace.


    What on earth was wrong with these people? Who in their right mind would spend 2 billion on a pill? It was absurd!


    Butining wouldn’t change anything now. After all, he had been the one to instigate this whole situation, and now he was left unsure of how to resolve it gracefully.


    Was he really going to swallow that ridiculous ruby ne?


    It might go down easily, but what if it got lodged in his intestines? It would be a disaster if he couldn’t get it out!


    Yet, what choice did he have if he didn’t go through with it?


    He had made a bold im, and he couldn’t back down in front of all these witnesses.


    On second thought, maybe it wouldn’t be so harmful to go back on his word. He didn’t know anyone in Aurous Hill, so the rumors wouldn’t affect him much.


    However, on further reflection, he wanted to deepen his rtionship with Jasmine. If he embarrassed himself in public today by breaking his promise, it would be challenging to win her over in the future.


    Just as he was caught in this internal struggle, Isaac waved his phone and said, “Master Kilgore, just so you’re aware, I’ve recorded the entire incident. As the third young master of the Kilgore family, if you break your promise, I will send this video to everyone in Eastcliff’s high society. I hope you consider the repercussions.”


    Sam red at Isaac, disbelief clouding his expression. His face flushed with anger as he growled, “Mr. Cameron, I haven’t done anything against you. Why are you treating me this way?”


    Isaac replied coolly, “Master Kilgore, you’re being unreasonable. I, Isaac Cameron, pride myself on fairness. I don’t take sides; I base my judgments on facts. This incident began with you. You provoked Master Wade first and initiated the bet. How can you possibly back out now? Just because you belong to the Kilgore family, you think you’re above keeping your word? I recall your father, Heath Kilgore, and your grandfather, Alexander Kilgore, both being men of their word in the business world. Why has the integrity of your family diminished in your generation?”


    Sam felt a cloud of gloom settle over him at Isaac’sments. He hadn’t anticipated Isaac knowing so much about his family.


    The Kilgore family was affluent, descending from an American colonist who had built a vast business empire.


    Thanks to the relentless efforts of his ancestors, the Kilgore family in Eastcliff had grown into a substantial empire.


    His forebears, including his father and grandfather, held family values of credibility and honesty in high regard, never breaking their promises.


    Sam was acutely aware that if Isaac shared this video with Eastcliff’s elite, the Kilgore family would be aughingstock, their reputation severely damaged.


    If his family learned of his actions today, he would face severe consequences. His grandfather would enforce family rules, potentially grounding him for two to three years.


    As he contemted the possible fallout, resentment and agitation bubbled within him.


    At the same time, he regretted his choices!


    If he had known it would lead to this, he would have acted differently!
