“Since everyone seems so surprised by the amount of money in Jake’s account, let me explain something to you all,” Maya announced confidently, raising her chin as she looked around the showroom. “The eight hundred million dollars you are seeing here is only the money in one of his accounts. Do you honestly think someone as wealthy as Jake would keep all his money in a single bank account?”She shook her head with a proud smile, allowing her words to sink in before continuing. “Jake has several other accounts, investments, and financial resources that I am not even going to begin explaining to you people. His total wealth is approximately five billion dollars, and that is only because I am giving you a rough estimate. He has invested in different businesses, and there are so many opportunities available to him that someone like Lucas could never even dream of accessing. So, please, stop acting as though thirty million dollars is some enormous amount of money to him.”A few customers

Jake glanced at Lucas. He looked as though the entire situation had nothing to do with him.That calmness irritated Jake more than anything else. Now, everyone was waiting to see whether Jake could complete the purchase. If he failed, the people who had just admired his supposed fortune would begin questioning him.He could not afford that kind of humiliation.“Maya, I already told you that we do not need to buy this car,” Jake said quietly. “We came here to look at vehicles, not to spend thirty million dollars because someone made an accusation.” Jake clenched his jaw.“Are you serious right now?” Maya asked.“Maya, listen to me.” Jake started.“No, you listen to me!” she interrupted. “You have spent so much time telling me about your businesses, your investments, and the money you have in different accounts. You have always made it clear that thirty million dollars is not a problem for you.”Maya said incredulously. “ Now you want me to believe that you need to think carefully be

The silence inside Max Luxury Cars continued to stretch.Nobody seemed willing to speak first. The customers who had gathered around the Rolls-Royce watched Jake carefully, waiting to see how he would handle the situation.Only a few minutes earlier, he had appeared completely confident.Now, he could not even explain why his payment had failed.Annabelle stood beside the vehicle, trying to maintain her professional expression. She had spent much of the evening praising Jake and making Lucas feel unwelcome. She had even encouraged the other employees to treat Jake as a special customer because of his supposed wealth.Unfortunately, the situation had taken a turn she had not expected.“Mr. Cole,” she finally said, forcing a polite smile, “I understand that you may need some additional time to resolve the issue with your bank. However, we cannot reserve this vehicle indefinitely without a verified payment or another approved arrangement.”Jake immediately turned toward her.“Did I say

Jake remained near the side of the showroom, holding his phone tightly against his ear.His eyes moved nervously across the room as he listened to the angry man on the other end of the call.“Mr. Cole, I have been patient enough,” the man said firmly. “I sent you the money because you told me you needed it urgently. You were the one who offered to sell your car, and I agreed to buy it. So why am I still waiting?”Jake swallowed nervously.“I understand your frustration,” he replied, forcing himself to sound calm. “But an unexpected situation came up this evening. I didn't plan for any of this to happen.”“What unexpected situation?” The man demanded.Jake opened his mouth, but the words refused to come immediately.He glanced toward the Rolls-Royce in the middle of the showroom.Maya was standing beside it, speaking quietly with no one in particular. Every now and then, she glanced in his direction, clearly wondering why he had walked away to answer the call.Jake quickly turned his f

Jake casually strolled back toward the Rolls-Royce, adjusting his jacket as he approached the vehicle.Annabelle immediately straightened when she saw him coming.“Mr. Cole, have you resolved the issue with your bank?” she asked cautiously.Jake glanced at her before turning toward the Rolls-Royce.“I've made my decision,” he announced. “I'm no longer interested in purchasing this vehicle.”Annabelle's face fell.“Mr. Cole, please—” Annabelle began but was interrupted by Jake.“There's nothing to discuss,” Jake interrupted. “I've had to deal with unnecessary arguments and disrespect.”He glanced at Lucas.“I'm not going to spend thirty million dollars in a place where people are allowed to interfere with my business and make a mockery of me.”Several customers exchanged looks.Annabelle quickly stepped closer, desperate to prevent the situation from getting any worse.“Mr. Cole, Max Luxury Cars sincerely understands your frustration,” she said. “We apologize if your experience hasn't
