Chapter 240 Let The Competition Begins

All eyes were on Alex.

They were mostly scornful looks.

Carlene shook her head at the absurdity. Her impression toward Alex was quite good. However…

She turned around to leave as she could not bring herself to keep up with what would happen next.

“I am betting my life if I could not pay up by then.” Alex snorted.

“Is your life worth one billion though? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror?” Kurt laughed mockingly.

The others burst into a derisive laugh.

Alex merely smiled. Fine.

They are just a bunch of clowns. I will just make a fool out of myself if I care about their comments.

“Fine, one billion then.” Alex smiled gently.

Zachariah furrowed his brows when he saw that Jessica did not try to stop Alex from betting.

We are talking about one billion. Why isn’t she afraid of Alex not being able to pay up if he loses the bet?

However, he did not comment further.

Alex and Jessica are going to suffer when they lose later.

Carlene frowned upon seeing everything. Alex is just a manager. How could he afford the one billion bet?

She had doubts but she kept mum about it.

This competition was initiated by Kurt. She promised to be in the same team as him because his father had connections with the vice–chairman of the Four Seas Corporation. She felt that it would be quite embarrassing to take the money if they were to win the competition though.

There were five teams in the end. Kurt and Carlene; Alex and Jessica; and another three pairs of participants.

Everyone was in an uproar when the name list of the competition was announced.

The participating girls were all hot!

Jessica, Carlene, and Susanna… They all had their plus points.

It was a visual feast to be able to see so many pretty girls swimming.

However, nobody noticed that Kurt stealthily went to a corner and sent a text using his phone.

After the text was sent out, a young man from the Taylor family standing at the opposite side of the lake dived into the water.

Matt smiled and approached them, “Then I’ll be the judgel Participants, please get ready.”

He gave Kurt a thumbs up to cheer him on.

Kurt would be able to bag four billion if he won the competition!

Even after splitting two billion with Carlene, they would still have two billion left.

Two billion was quite a hefty amount to the Taylor family.

Their net annual income did not even amount to one billion.

Haha! My son has been swimming since young, and he has won a number of competitions too. He’s certainly going to be the fastest!

I heard this Bolton girl is also a good swimmer, so they’re definitely winning this competition!

On the other hand, Jessica was quite nervous standing next to Alex.

“I… I’m not good at swimming.” Jessica said in a soft voice.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” Alex smiled and soothed her.

Jessica was visibly relaxed after seeing that Alex was very confident.

Even though one billion was peanuts to Alex, she did not wish for him to lose this competition.

Kurt felt more assured looking at Jessica’s worried look.

He was most unfamiliar with Alex’s team among the other four teams that participated.

He was pleased to confirm that Alex’s team was inferior to his.

My team is definitely going to win this!

At the same time, Matt announced via the megaphone, “Let the competition begin!”
