Jessica, Carlene, and the girls were covered in sweat from the scorching hot weather. However, they were on the fence at the suggestion.

It would be quite awkward since there will be quite a number of people watching us. Besides, we did not bring our swimming suits.

Kurt suddenly chimed in, “It’s quite boring to just swim. Why not we make it a competition?” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

This suggestion piqued the others‘ interest. “A competition? Like how?”

“A swimming competition, of course. A guy and a girl will make a team,” Kurt said as he pointed at the small island at the center of the lake, “Any group that makes it to the island first will be the winner.”

Sure!

The rich kids were all hyped up about the idea.

A young man stepped forward, “Since it’s a competition, there should be a reward for winning right?”

Kurt nodded his head, “Of course. But, we have to make the rules clear. Only the champion gets the money. The rest will fork-out a hundred million each to fund the prize for the winner.”

What? A hundred million?

Even though this was a gathering for the upper class, many would not be able to fork out a hundred million for a competition. It was impossible if one were to go bankrupt for just a menial bet like this.

Some kids from less wealthy families wanted to pull out from the competition in view of financial

constraints.

Kurt smiled. I will make sure that b*stard Alex joins the competition. If he refuses to join, I will humiliate him in front of everyone.

I’m definitely winning this competition. I’ve started swimming since I was young after all. As long as he joins this competition, I will make sure that he could not afford to pay the one hundred million!

He’s just a wage–earner. Even if he’s a department manager of Four Seas Corporation, it’s impossible for him to fork out that amount of money!

I’ll allow him to sign an IOU but he has to beg me first!

Kurt cast a glance at Zachariah, and he walked over to Kurt’s side in an instance.

“Alex, so are the two of you a team?” Zachariah was almost instructing Alex and Jessica.

“We’re not joining.” Jessica rejected outright.

“Hey pretty, you have to play by our rules since you’re here at the gathering I organized.” Kurt added,

“Yeah, don’t try to stand out by refusing to join the group activity.” Zachariah grinned.

Jessica’s face sank. Zachariah and Kurt are really so despicable. How could they force a bet on someone else?

“Alex looked at the two and said, “So you’re going to join the bet too?”

“I…” Zachariah grimaced.

I don’t have a hundred million for this bet.

However, an idea struck him and he grinned, “I don’t have a female partner, so I’m not qualified to join.”

Alex mocked him, “So are you trying to stand out too?”

Zachariah’s face distorted from the derision, and even Kurt started frowning. This b*stard is quite difficult to deal with.

Alex continued to mock Zachariah, “Fine. Since you don’t have the guts, I’m not going to force you.” Then, he looked over at Kurt, “So the losers are going to pay one hundred million each to the winner? Why do I feel like you guys could not afford it?”

“Hey brat, are you looking down on my family?” Kurt was enraged.

Alex looked at the others and smiled, “Since the Taylor family is so rich, why not the two of us bet one billion each?”

One billion?

The others were stunned. They thought Alex was going insane.

Isn’t this guy a wage–earner? How could he afford the one billion bet?

“Huh? Could you afford it?” Kurt gave Alex a disdained look.
