Jayce said, "Damn, even if the Schwartz family has money, they can't treat people like this. Then, Dawson came to me and demanded that I take the car back, saying my ride had brought bad luck to his family. If I didn't handle it right, he said he'd hire someone to kill me.
"Damn it… I really picked the wrong people to mess with. Those Schwartz brats only pick on folks like me."
Jayce kept complaining, not noticing that Bryson was too stunned to speak.
'Oh my… Could what that kid said be true? Did he really squeeze 100 million out of the Schwartzes? Damn, I ran into someone big. If I'd known, I would have given the car away for free… or my wife too! Anything to hitch onto that power."
Bryson beat his chest, kicking himself for missing such an opportunity.

Meanwhile, Andrew drove his new used car back to the Lloyd family compound with a satisfied grin.
Back at the Schwartz residence, the father and sons sat in grim silence, their faces twisted with rage.
"Dad, we absolutely cannot let this slide. Sure, Dawson was wrong to rear-end him. But demanding 100 million for some beat-up Jetta? That bastard must be broke and thinks he can play our family for suckers!" Gavin snarled, his frustration boiling over.
Carson suddenly turned to Dawson and said, "I need you to tell me exactly what happened today. Why the hell did you go looking for trouble with that maniac?"
Dawson was nearly in tears. "Dad, I wasn't looking for trouble with him. I had no idea that piece of junk Jetta had that scumbag inside. If I'd known it was him, I would've run the other way."
Carson seethed with rage. "Then why did you crash into him? Are you brain-dead? A Ferrari hitting a Jetta? If you're gonna stage an accident, at least pick someone with money!"

Why there is no update for last two days??...
Brilliant piece of work. I am enjoying the novel. The only problem is that it is taking longer to update more chapters....
