Late at night, Jared tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep no matter what.
Today, he had just received very bad news from his best friend Bryce.
Bryce had deceived him; he wasn't a successful lawyer.
Not only was he unsuccessful, but he was also a failure.
Previously, in the Las Vegas of Las Vegas in the US, Bryce had lost hundreds of thousands of us dollars.
Of those hundreds of thousands of us dollars, only a tiny portion belonged to Bryce.
The rest was either obtained by credit card or borrowed from loan sharks.
Because he couldn't pay it back, Bryce fled from the US back to the Bahamas, hoping to temporarily evade the debt collectors.
However, the seaside villa and yacht he was temporarily staying at in Nassau City were not lies to Jared.
They were indeed collateral obtained by Bryce's law firm after winning a lawsuit for a client.
It was just that Bryce hadn't told Jared before.
He could actually only stay there temporarily because he had lost his job.
Bryce had to entrust a former colleague at the law firm just to barely get permission to temporarily reside there under the pretense of conducting an inspection.
But the yacht, they actually didn't allow Bryce to use.
Discovering that his brother Bryce, whom he thought was doing very well, was actually a debt-ridden pauper.
It was impossible for him to provide sufficient funding for his deep-sea salvage operation.
Jared was heavy-hearted after returning from the nightclub.
Earlier today at the nightclub, Bryce completely ignored his female companion Amanda, who had run off somewhere.
He spoke to Jared for a long time, trying to persuade Jared to agree to dive into the crashed cargo plane they had discovered two days ago.
To bring out a few more packages of drugs and sell them for money.
Jared originally didn't want to agree, not because he didn't want money.
But because two days ago, after discovering a massive amount of drugs inside the crashed cargo plane underwater.
When Jared brought a package of drugs onto the yacht, his honest and dutiful girlfriend Shan vehemently refused to let Jared get involved with drugs.
Under her angry and uncompromising gaze, Jared had just sold the heirloom gold necklace left by his girlfriend Shan's mother a few days ago.
And afterward, when Jared tried to buy it back, he was told it had already been purchased by someone else.
Although angry, Jared, who knew he had wronged his girlfriend, therefore didn't want to upset her again.
And so, Jared compromised.
So in the evening, when his best friend Bryce was lobbying him at the nightclub.
Although Jared was tempted, he was concerned about his girlfriend, Sam.
Therefore, he hadn't agreed to Bryce's proposal yet.
Now, after parting ways with Bryce and returning to his home,
Jared tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Over the years, his fiery temper and Bates' overt and covert suppression had made his life very miserable.
He kept finding and losing jobs, and could only rely on his girlfriend, Sam, to support him.
Although Jared always acted like he didn't care, he felt quite bitter inside.
He also wanted to prove himself and let Sam know that he was a reliable and capable man.
So, Jared also wanted to find a great treasure on the seabed.
Now, that sunken plane at the bottom of the sea, filled with narcotics,
was definitely a massive treasure to Jared.
Even though Jared hadn't dealt much with narcotics in the past, he made a conservative estimate that if the drugs on that crashed plane could be sold, they would fetch at least tens of millions of us dollars.
It might even be possible to get over a hundred million.
It was naturally impossible for Jared not to be tempted.
But he also knew Sam's personality; she would not make any compromises on such matters of principle.
For a while, Jared tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.
Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking from outside the house.
A knock on the door followed.
Jared didn't know who it was. He knew Sam was still angry with him and shouldn't be coming over at night.
Moreover, that stray dog he had picked up was already very familiar with Sam and wouldn't possibly bark at her.
Curious, Jared immediately got up and walked out.
When he opened the door, he saw a drunk woman who immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Amanda!"
Jared was stunned. He hadn't expected Amanda, who had disappeared somewhere at the nightclub tonight, to actually show up at his place.
"Hehe!"
Amanda, reeking of alcohol, let out the silly giggle typical of a drunk woman.
What shocked Jared even more was that the woman's top was gone.
Wearing only a bra, she threw herself into his embrace.
"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."
Amanda casually tossed the backpack she brought behind the door.
Then, she began to squirm restlessly in Jared's arms.
Before Jared could react, she took off her miniskirt and kicked it aside.
The sudden temptation instantly made Jared's breathing heavy.
"Honey, let's rest."
Amanda seemed not to recognize who Jared was, reaching out to gently brush her hand across his cheek.
While Jared was swallowing hard and hesitating for a moment,
she broke free from his embrace like a slippery loach.
Then, she skillfully unfastened her bra and tossed it aside.
Seeing a stunningly beautiful woman drunkenly fall back into his arms,
and with her now completely unclothed,
breathing in her scent, the string of reason in Jared's body snapped in an instant.
He briefly forgot that this was his childhood friend's companion, picked Amanda up by the waist, and walked toward the bedroom.
In the morning, after being woken up by the inexplicable barking of the dog next door,
Sam, who for some reason had been tossing and turning all night, got up early.
After a simple wash, she wasn't in a hurry to make breakfast, so she pushed open the door and walked out.
"Baby!"
Seeing the dog lying in front of Jared's door, looking very restless,
Sam walked over and was about to soothe the stray dog her boyfriend had adopted, but then she saw a woman's shirt hanging conspicuously on Jared's doorknob.
Sam froze, and her expression immediately soured.
She quickly pushed open the unlocked door and stepped into her boyfriend's home.
As soon as she entered, she saw a familiar women's bag placed behind the door.
At the same time, a miniskirt and a bra were scattered on the floor.
Trembling with rage, Sam rushed into her boyfriend's messy bedroom.
At a glance, she saw the two of them tightly embracing each other.
One was her boyfriend, Jared, and the other was Amanda, the girlfriend of Jared's friend Bryce, whom she had just met a few days ago.
Seeing the two of them fast asleep, Sam felt a wave of intense dizziness hit her brain.
She stumbled and almost fell to the floor.
Fortunately, she caught herself on the bedroom door in time, but because the wooden door was old and in disrepair, it let out a sharp creak.
Instantly, Jared groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw his girlfriend, Sam, standing at the bedroom door,
Jared was just about to greet her, but as he moved to reach out, he suddenly felt his arm being held tightly.
He subconsciously looked to the side, and only then did he remember what had happened last night.
In an instant, Jared's expression changed drastically.
Just as he was about to explain to Sam, he saw her turn and leave without a word, her face full of resolution.
Bang!
Accompanied by the sound of the door being slammed roughly outside, Jared's face turned pale.
He knew Sam's personality all too well!
Unsurprisingly, his relationship with Sam was likely over.
Hurriedly getting up, Jared was about to chase after her.
He completely failed to see Amanda, who was supposed to be fast asleep on the bed, slightly opening her eyes to a slit with a faint smile playing on her lips.
One hundred thousand us dollars, secured!
Having made a small fortune, she was in a very pleasant mood..
