A Man Like None Other Chapter 355

Chapter 355 You Are My Brother In Law

“Why didn’t you tell us that you’ve found yourself a boyfriend, Lizbeth? I could help assess him and see if he’s a good match, you know? Judging by the way this guy is dressed, I’d say he doesn’t look very wealthy,” Oliver said disdainfully after eyeing Jared from head to toe.

Lizbeth’s face burned bright red as she shouted angrily at Oliver, “Shut up! He’s not my boyfriend, okay? I don’t want to hear another word about this!”

“Oh, please! Why else would you let him into your apartment if he isn’t your boyfriend? You don’t even like having me over, so I doubt you’d let any of your friends in here. Anyway, regardless of whether he’s your boyfriend or not, I need you to lend me some money. I’m short on cash right now.”

Lizbeth shook her head. “So am I. Besides, don’t you think you’ve come to me for money way too many times now?”

“I’ll tell the family about you having a boyfriend if you won’t lend me money!” Oliver then took a few pictures of Jared as he continued, “Let’s see what they have to say about your taste in men!”

“I told you, he’s not my boyfriend! He’s just a regular friend of mine! You’d better delete that picture right this instant!” Lizbeth shouted as she tried to snatch the phone from Oliver, but he refused to hand it over.

The two siblings ended up running around the apartment while Jared watched on in admiration from the side.

Oh, how I wish I had younger siblings like this… I’d probably spoil them like crazy if I had any!

“Fine, I’ll give you the money if you delete the pictures! How much do you want this time?” Lizbeth asked while panting heavily.

Given her skills in combat, she could’ve easily snatched the phone over from Oliver, but she chose not to as she didn’t want to hurt him.

“Not much. Just a hundred thousand,” Oliver replied with a faint smile.

“What? A hundred thousand? Do you have any idea how little I earn per month? How dare you ask me for a hundred thousand? I don’t have that kind of money!” Lizbeth yelled.

“That’s fine, I’ll just ask my future brother-in-law for the money then.” Oliver turned toward Jared as he continued, “Do you have any money? Could you lend me a hundred thousand? We can offset the amount from Lizbeth’s betrothal gift if I am unable to pay you back.”

Jared burst out laughing when he heard that. Man, Lizbeth’s brother sure is an interesting one! In view of my relationship with Walter, there’s no reason why I can’t give his grandson a hundred thousand.

“I do. Come on, pull out your phone and I’ll transfer the money over. In fact, instead of lending it to you, I’ll just give it to you, so you don’t even have to pay me back,” he replied while retrieving his phone.

“Huh? Really?” Oliver was shocked.

Jared held his phone up to Oliver’s face as he said, “Of course! A hundred thousand means nothing to me.”

Given the amount of money he had in his bank account, a hundred thousand truly was a tiny sum for him.

Oliver was dumbfounded when he saw the balance displayed on the screen. A few seconds later, he hugged Jared tightly and shouted in excitement, “I will only acknowledge you as my brother-in-law from now on! I’ll cut ties with Lizbeth if she dares to replace you with someone else!”

Lizbeth’s face was red with anger as she glared at Oliver. She then turned toward Jared and said, “Don’t give him the money, Jared! He’ll just spend it all in one go!”

However, Jared ignored her warning and gave Oliver the money anyway.

“Let’s exchange contact numbers, Jared! I’ll take you out for a drink and show you around Summerbank tonight! Everyone knows me here, so all you have to do is mention my name!”

Oliver ran off happily after exchanging contact numbers with Jared.

“Why did you give him the money?” Lizbeth asked with a helpless frown as she sat down on the couch.

“Come on, it’s just a hundred thousand! It’s no big deal!”

“That little rascal is just going to spend all of his money on booze and women. That’s why my parents aren’t giving him any money. Anyway, I’ll pay you back on behalf of my brother. Let’s just hope he doesn’t go running his mouth out there…” Lizbeth muttered with a sigh.
