Chapter 948 I Could Give You A Loan

'James has helped me so much lately. Now that he is in trouble, perhaps it's time for me to return his kindness, ' Jean thought.

Two hours later, James came back wearing a dejected expression. She guessed that he couldn't recruit any new trainees. Walking up to him, Jean reached out her hand with her credit card and offered, "If you're in dire need of money, I could give you a loan."

James was stunned at first, but as he came back to his senses, he pushed her hand away. Squeezing a smile, he said, "I could never borrow money from a woman. Besides, I don't lack money. What are you thinking?"

"Don't refuse it just because of your pride. I know this boxing gym means a lot to you. If you lose it because of financial problems, you'll regret it one day. So..." Jean said with a smile. "We're friends, aren't we? Don't be so formal with me. Besides, I'm not simply giving this to you. You have to pay me back!"

James smiled at her and said, "I'm not being formal with you, Jean. I've already found a solution, so don't worry about me."

"Really?" Jean asked, because he still looked pretty glum. 'If he has already solved the issue, why does he look so dejected?' she thought.

"Of course. Why would I lie to you? Our customers have finished their classes for today. Why don't you head back home now?" James replied as he walked to the front desk. When he noticed that someone had opened his account book, he understood why Jean had proposed to lend him money.

"I'm used to keeping accounts for even trivial stuff. Don't think too much into it," he explained.

Jean felt embarrassed. Lowering her head, she apologized, "I'm sorry, James. I shouldn't have read it without your permission."

"It's okay. This is not some state secret. But why are you still here?" James said awkwardly.

Jean pointed to her room and replied, "Did you forget? I moved in here yesterday."

"Oh, right. I almost forgot." James smiled awkwardly, closing the account book. He turned ar

It all starts on that fateful night.

When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I don’t want a divorce!"

"I did no such thing!"

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

g merrily aroused Julie's curiosity.

'If I get closer to them, perhaps I can listen to what they are talking about and even record their conversation which could prove that they are together.

And if I send the recording to Zed, he will be disappointed in Jean and might even divorce her, ' Julie ruminated.

Julie quickened her pace to catch up to them. 'They look like they are completely immersed in their conversation. They won't discover me, ' she thought gleefully.

However, she had forgotten that her high-heeled shoes knocked loudly on the concrete ground she was walking on.

Jean and James turned around simultaneously when they heard the noise coming from behind them.

When they saw Julie, their eyes dilated in surprise.

"Julie? Why are you here?" James asked, looking perplexed.

An amazed expression came over Jean's face, and a few seconds later, it was replaced by a sulky one. She couldn't control her anger at the sight of the woman.

"Umm, I was heading home. It's really difficult to get a cab around here," Julie explained, tucking her hair behind her ears in embarrassment.
