Instant Millionaire

Chapter 11: The Credit Was Claimed by Someone Else

When Krista was thinking nonsense, her father on the other side said, "Daughter, how could I pull the

strings? If I can, do I have to be so angry this morning? Krista, this morning, I was too anxious. I didn't

mean to marry you to Maggie. I said that out of anger. Don't be angry with me..."

Her father's words caused Krista to blush. Her face looked redder.

"What are you talking about? My friends are all listening! I didn't expect you to say marrying me to

Maggie!

Krista felt her cheeks hot and looked awkward. She stood up and walked away to talk to her father.

"Dad, is it true that you didn't pull the strings?" Krista had a double-check.

"If I did, how could I ask you to spend a night with Maggie this morning..."

Krista closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She suppressed her impulse to say dirty word and said,

"Will you stop talking about that? My friends were listening just now, and I put you on speaker. You've

embarrassed me a lot."

"I didn't know that your friends were there. It's my fault. Krista, but why did you put me on speaker?"

Krista covered her forehead with her hand and said, "Alright, forget about it. Besides, I wish I could

escape from here and disappear."

"What did I put you on speaker? Didn't I think that you had connections with powerful people so that I

wanted to show off in front of my friends? Now, not only did I fail to show off, I was silly because others

were aware of my scandal!" Krista thought to herself.

"Well, Krista, could it be that your friend helped pull the strings?"

"My friend" Krista turned around and glanced at the others at the table. It was possible. They had called

before.

"Your friend probably played a role! He did us a big favor, so you have to thank him." Dad cleared his

mind.

"Sure, that's it. I'm hanging up!" At this moment, Krista's attitude was more casual. It turned out to be

my friend who helped solve my problems. She thought, "If that was the case, why did you scold me and

even make a fool of me?"

Krista's father added, "Wait a moment, the person who helped us should have something to do with Mr.

Jax of the Chamber of Commerce. As the problem was resolved with the help of Mr. Jax, the person

must be powerful. Take care."

Hanging up the phone, Krista walked back to the dining table with doubt. Everyone was very interested

to hear her explaining the details. Who was it that was able to have connections with the president of

the Chamber of Commerce?

Krista glanced at others and her gaze was fixed on Karissa, who was closest to her. She smiled and

asked, "Karissa, did you help me with that?"

Karissa was shocked and shook her head. She put on an awkward smile, "How can I have such a

strong connection? Are you kidding me, Krista?"

"Really?" Krista asked again and looked a little puzzled.

"It wasn't me!" Karissa felt a little anxious.

Krista turned to look at Scarlet, who was beside Karissa, "Scarlet, was it you?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Scarlet shook her head. "No, I don't have such capability. Krista, I've called all my relatives. They can't

help you..."

Next, Krista asked one after another.

"Alden, it was you who helped me with the connection."

"Milo, you used your connections for me."

"Linda, it must be you, right?"

....

Krista asked everyone there except Quincy. She took a glance and ignored him.

She wasn't sure about the others, but it couldn't be Quincy. He was an idiot who dared to go to the

Citibank without a card? It would be a joke for him to do that.

"Then who could do this?" Krista lowered her head and thought seriously. Suddenly, a name appeared

in her mind like startling lightning.

"Ramon!"

Apart from the people present, the only person Krista had contacted was Ramon. According to the

current situation, Ramon should be that person!

Krista switched on her screen and called Ramon.

Could it be him? Could his family be related to Mr. Jax?

When Krista was confused, Ramon answered.

"Hey, Krista, what's the situation now?" Ramon asked anxiously.

"You helped me?" Krista did not answer, and she was looking forward to his answer.

"After you called me, I asked my dad to do you a favor. My dad said that he and Mr. Jax were

classmates. He would go to the Chamber of Commerce to have a try, but I haven't asked my dad yet,"

Ramon said with uncertainty.

"It's settled. It's been settled in a perfect manner!" '"Ramon, I knew it was you. My father said that

someone went to Mr. Jax. Ramon, thank you so much..." Krista smiled happily.

"It's good that it's settled. That's not a big deal. Don't be too polite," Ramon said with relaxion.

"I appreciate it a lot. You know how strong TS Group is. They want to destroy our business. How can

we fight with them? Maybe our family will lose all in the end. Moreover, Maggie won't let it go. I might

even have to... Anyway, your help means a lot." Thinking about the consequence, Krista felt scared.

She was more grateful to Ramon and tears flashed in her eyes.

"Don't think that way." Ramon smiled.

"Come to X Restaurant now. It's on my treat! I must thank you in person!" Krista warmly invited him.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately." Ramon agreed. Thinking of Krista's beautiful face, he smiled.

Hanging up the phone, Krista looked around with pride.

When the others heard about the president of the Chamber of Commerce, they were shocked. The

person who could connect with the president of the Chamber of Commerce can't be a nobody!

Krista had such a powerful friend. How could they not envy her? After the call, they looked forward to

seeing Krista's friend.

Seeing the others look at her with envy as usual, Krista felt better and became a little more arrogant.

Ramon was studying at JM University of Information Science and Technology, not far from JM

University. Before long, he arrived at X Restaurant.

Ramon was 1.85 meters tall. He was stout and a little heavy. His hair was permed. Two white marks

were left by razors on both sides of his cheek. His white face glowed with grease.

"Ramon, we are here!" Krista walked to Ramon with a smile on her face. Naturally, she held Ramon's

hand and lowered her head. She stared at Ramon like a gentle lady, "Thank you. I'm really touched as

you have offered me a hand when I was need help the most."

Ramon glanced at his hand that Krista was holding. He made up his mind gently grabbed Krista's.

Looking at the beautiful Krista in front of him, he couldn't look away. "Don't say such words in the

future. It's not a big deal."

Krista smiled sweetly and led Ramon towards the dining table. When the others at the table saw

Ramon coming, they all stood up one after another and looked at him with flattering expressions.

Ramon was a person who had connections with the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and his

status was much higher than theirs. If they wanted to make friends with such a person, they must flatter

him and show some respect.

"There are so many people!" Ramon walked to the dining table. Seeing that everyone else was

standing to welcome him, he felt proud with joy. He pressed down on his hands and said, "Let's sit.

Why are you standing there?"

After Ramon finished speaking, others sat down one after another.

"Sit with me." Krista pulled Ramon and walked towards her seat. However, Ramon was strong. Krista

could barely sit, but it would be more difficult to grab food.

"Let's move closer to each other." Kyla immediately asked the others to leave more space for Krista

and Ramon. The others moved, but the result was not satisfactory. Krista and Ramon still felt very

crowded.

"Quincy!"

Just as everyone was moving their chairs, Krista looked at Quincy with disgust. When Quincy looked at

her, Krista did not feel embarrassed at all.

"Why don't you go first? Originally, I didn't call you. Now that you've finished your meal, and the school

isn't far away from here, you can go back to your dormitory first."
