Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

Chapter 860: Jaden’s Problems
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After leaving the private room, Connor and Jaden went straight to the restroom.

Once inside, Jaden skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Connor.

“I don’t smoke…”

Connor shook his head gently as he looked at Jaden.

Jaden smiled and lit his cigarette, quietly taking a puff.

Connor glanced at him and asked softly, “When did you start smoking? I remember you didn’t smoke in high school…”

“I learned in college…”

He replied faintly, then spoke in a low voice, “Connor, actually I lied to you about something earlier…”

“What is it?”

Connor asked with a smile.

“In college, I did meet a group of wealthy second-generation individuals, and they were indeed very wealthy. However, I didn’t have a good relationship with them. I was just a lackey in their eyes. Later, I also met Nikola, but because I made a mistake, Nikola and his group beat me up, slapping me more than ten times in front of many people…”

Jaden whispered to Connor.

After hearing his words, Connor couldn’t help but pause for a moment, then turned to look at him.

He took a deep breath and smiled, saying, “Do you want to ask me why I didn’t fight back?”

Connor continued to look at Jaden without saying anything.

“Do you think I didn’t want to fight back? Actually, at that time, I did want to fight, but I couldn’t. I dared not fight back because I know who Nikola is and what his family does. If I fought back, he would definitely retaliate, and my family might get involved…”

Jaden said in a low voice.

“You shouldn’t have gotten involved with people like Nikola in the first place,” Connor said calmly.

“I was too young and didn’t understand these principles back then, but now I do…”

Jaden nodded slightly and continued, “You don’t have anything now, so just live your own life. But it’s different for me. What do you think of Roxanne?”

Connor looked at Jaden without speaking, unsure of how to evaluate Roxanne.

But he knew that it wouldn’t be easy for Jaden to control her.

“Roxanne is very materialistic and realistic. Her family background is also very good. Do you know the condition she gave me to be with her?”

Jaden didn’t wait for him to answer that question and continued speaking.

“I don’t know…”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Connor shook his head.

“The condition Roxanne gave me is that by the time she turns twenty-five, I need to have assets of over five million. You should know my family background. It’s impossible for me to have five million in assets before I’m twenty-five. So I can only choose to try and integrate into the circle of people like Nikola. Maybe if they’re happy, they’ll bring me some money, and then I might have hope. Otherwise, I won’t have any hope at all. But I was too naive in thinking about all this. I was really ridiculous…”

Jaden threw the cigarette butt on the ground and continued, “If I don’t meet Roxanne’s condition by the time I’m twenty-five, she will choose to break up with me. I used to look down on you when you were with a woman like Mandy. I thought she was just a woman, and it wouldn’t turn you into what you’ve become. But now I see how similar I am to the old you, and I’m even more miserable. I know exactly what kind of woman Roxanne is, but I can’t live without her…”

Connor reached out and patted his shoulder, then said softly, “I don’t know much about your situation, and I don’t want to judge. But I hope you can realize sooner that if something isn’t meant for you, it’s not meant for you. Roxanne is demanding five million from you now, and there may be more demands in the future. Will you be able to fulfill them all?”

Jaden took a deep breath and nodded gently, saying, “I understand what you mean…”

“By the way, I already took care of Nikola for you. I broke both his legs…”

Connor said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing his words, Jaden couldn’t help but pause for a moment, then looked at Connor and smiled lightly, saying, “Connor, it feels so much better when you say that. In my eyes, it’s just a joke.”

After all, who was Nikola? He was Yakov’s son!

And Connor was just an ordinary student. Even if Connor dared to hurt Nikola, Jaden would find it hard to believe.

So Jaden felt that Connor was only comforting himself by saying these things.

After hesitating for a moment, Connor decided not to explain anything.

Because once he started explaining, things would become very complicated.

So he simply said, “Jaden, I don’t think you and Roxanne are suitable for each other. It’s really not worth pushing yourself to such extremes for this woman…”

“Connor, do you remember how I advised you when you were with Mandy?”

Jaden asked with a smile.

Connor paused for a moment upon hearing Jaden’s words, then smiled lightly and said in a soft voice, “You’re right. Some things you can only see clearly and understand when you figure them out yourself. No matter what others say or advise, you can’t take it in. I hope you can realize it sooner…”

“I hope I’ll have that realization someday!”

Jaden nodded, then hugged Connor’s shoulder and continued, “I haven’t told anyone these things before. I told you today, but please don’t tell anyone else, alright?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone…”

Connor smiled lightly.

“Okay then, let’s go back…”

Jaden said softly to Connor.

“Alright…”

Connor nodded gently, then followed Jaden as they walked out of the restroom.
