Chapter 134


    Eden grumbled, “Mr. Charlie, we’re all exposed now; are we still going to cover for Mr. Oscar?”


    “Remember the celebration party for the first month of ourpany’s establishment? Ikit weren’t for


    him egging us on to bet online, would we have lost so much money? We still can’t pay it off!”


    The team leader of Line 5 was constantly getting calls from debt collectors, so much so that he was


    considering jumping off the roof.


    If it wasn’t for his young kids and sick wife, he would have ended it all already.


    “Mr. Oscar even encouraged you to bet online?” Arabe raised an eyebrow. This was illegal; no one


    would dare to do it.


    “Mr. Oscar said that I could win 9 out of 10 times on that website; he even showed us his withdrawal


    amount, over 60k $!”


    “At first, we didn’t believe him, but after a few bets, most of us were winning and could withdraw the


    money straight to our bank ounts.”


    “So we started betting more and more, even getting our friends and family involved. But the website


    kept raising the withdrawal limit, first saying you needed 50k to withdraw, and after we gathered 50k,


    they said you needed 100k to get the money out. So, we borrowed more money from various online


    loan tforms, and even after investing hundreds of thousands, we still couldn’t get our money back!”


    The team leader of Line 5 sighed; if it weren’t for worrying about dragging his wife and kids into this, he


    would have offed himself!


    Because many workers from the production line were involved, they formed Line 4 and Line 5,


    producing low–quality clothes together, cooperating with the warehouse manager to sell the clothes


    outside, and sharing the earned money proportionally.


    “Some of our rtives from our hometown trust us; they don’t know how to operate online, so they


    gave us their life savings or money collected from selling their houses to invest, and now it’s all gone.”


    “Some of them were retirement funds; some was for rtives surgeries; they didn’t have enough to


    cover the surgery, so they wanted to win some extra money through betting, but now they’ll never see


    a penny of that money.”


    “Most of the money was borrowed from dozens of online loan tforms.”


    “We’ve been paying it back for a whole year, several thousand dors each month, and we’re still not


    done!”


    The team leaders of Line 4 and Line 5 couldn’t help but weep as they spoke; the helplessness they felt


    was something only they could understand.


    “I also ced bets, and,” The warehouse manager bit her lip, tears rolling down her cheeks, choking for


    a while before saying. At that celebration party, I got drunk. When I woke up the next day, I found


    myself lying next to Mr. Oscar. He took a lot of pictures of me, forcing me to do this.”


    Everyone was stunned, looking at her with disbelief written all over their faces.


    “At first, I was in agony, especially knowing that he had connections in the police department; reporting


    him would be pointless. But then I started getting a share every month, and I could buy some designer

    bags. I just let it happen.”


    The warehouse manager’s words shocked and angered the head of the procurement department: “I


    also had quite a bit to drink that time, and Oscar put pressure on me too! He threatened me, saying


    he’d tell my husband and post my pictures outside my inws‘ workce, letting them know I was a


    rule–breaking daughter–inw. I had just gotten married; I was really scared.”


    The conversation in the office made the crowd outside very dissatisfied!


    Oscar really crossed the line!


    Taking advantage of people’s difficulties, forcing them to cooperate with him!


    “Ms. Bet, I beg you to let us go. The warehouse manager pleaded, “I really don’t want to go to jail. I


    still have a long life ahead of me; I really don’t want to spend it in prison.”
