Chapter 134 Eden grumbled, “Mr. Charlie, we're all exposed now; are we still going to cover for Mr. Oscar?” “Remember the celebration party for the first month of our company’s establishment? Ikit weren't for him egging us on to bet online, would we have lost so much money? We still can’t pay it off!” The team leader of Line 5 was constantly getting calls from debt collectors, so much so that he was considering jumping off the roof.

“Mr. Oscar even encouraged you to bet online?” Arabella raised an eyebrow. This was illegal; no one would dare to do it.
“Mr. Oscar said that | could win 9 out of 10 times on that website; he even showed us his withdrawal amount, over 60k $!” “At first, we didn’t believe him, but after a few bets, most of us were winning and could withdraw the money straight to our bank accounts.” “So we started betting more and more, even getting our friends and family involved. But the website kept raising the withdrawal limit, first saying you needed 50k to withdraw, and after we gathered 50k, they said you needed 100k to get the money out. So, we borrowed more money from various online loan platforms, and even after investing hundreds of thousands, we still couldn’t get our money back!” The team leader of Line 5 sighed; if it weren't for worrying about dragging his wife and kids into this, he would have offed himself! Because many workers from the production line were involved, they formed Line 4 and Line 5, producing low-quality clothes together, cooperating with the warehouse manager to sell the clothes outside, and sharing the earned money proportionally.
“Sof our relatives from our hometown trust us; they don’t know how to operate online, so they gave us their life savings or money collected from selling their houses to invest, and now it’s all gone.” “Sof them were retirement funds; swas for relatives surgeries; they didn’t have enough to cover the surgery, so they wanted to win sextra money through betting, but now they'll never see a penny of that money.” “Most of the money was borrowed from dozens of online loan platforms.” “We've been paying it back for a whole year, several thousand dollars each month, and we're still not done!” The team leaders of Line 4 and Line 5 couldn't help but weep as they spoke; the helplessness they felt was something only they could understand.

When | woke up the next day, | found myself lying next to Mr. Oscar. He took a lot of pictures of me, forcingto do this.” Everyone was stunned, looking at her with disbelief written all over their faces.
“At first, | was in agony, especially knowing that he had connections in the police department; reporting him would be pointless.
But then | started getting a share every month, and | could buy sdesigner bags. | just let it happen.” The warehouse manager's words shocked and angered the head of the procurement department: “I also had quite a bit to drink that time, and Oscar put pressure ontoo! He threatened me, saying he'd tell my husband and post my pictures outside my in-laws workplace, letting them know | was a rule-breaking daughter-in-law. | had just gotten married; | was really scared.” The conversation in the office made the crowd outside very dissatisfied! Oscar really crossed the line! Taking advantage of people's difficulties, forcing them to cooperate with him! “Ms. Bennett, | beg you to let us go. The warehouse manager pleaded, “I really don’t want to go to jail. | still have a long life ahead of me; | really don’t want to spend it in prison.”
