Chapter 663
“Why?” Eloise barked.
“Because you’ve already agreed to bet with us. Backing out means you lose! You’d better think it through. Challenging the Boxing King still gives you a chance. Backing out means you concede,” Kole declared smugly.
Eloise opened her mouth to argue again, but Christina stepped in, calm as ever. She looked straight at Thea and asked, “So, just to be clear—if I beat the Boxing King, everything the Delgado family owns, and the entire Reed family’s fortune, is mine. That right?”
“If you beat the Boxing King, all the assets our two families have will be yours.” Thea stared at Christina, her smile twisting with something dark and calculating. She honestly thought it was nearly impossible for Christina to take down the Boxing King.
“Your family’s assets include the Reed Group, don’t they?” Christina asked, cutting straight to the point.
“Hell yes,” Thea said with a cocky grin. “Meet me at the underground boxing club tomorrow night. And don’t you dare flake on me.”
“I’ll be there,” Christina said coolly. “You can start counting up your assets now. I’m coming for it all once I win.”
“Ha-ha…” Thea and the Delgado siblings burst out laughing, unable to contain themselves. To them, Christina’s words were nothing but delusional.
“You better figure out how to walk out of that ring alive first,” Kole sneered, his voice thick with sarcasm and arrogance.
Cassie shot Eloise a nasty look. “You dumb mute. Can’t wait to watch you bawl your eyes out when your friend is beaten to death in there.”
“Enough,” Thea said sharply. “The bet’s settled. Let’s get inside—tables at Morfort Restaurant don’t come easy.” With that, she walked inside.
Cassie threw a contemptuous look at Christina and Eloise, smirking. “Jealous? We get to eat at Morfort Restaurant, while you won’t even be allowed past the door. If you crawl and beg, maybe I’ll let you sneak a peek inside.”
Christina shot back with a chilly smile. “Actually, I can eat at Morfort Restaurant whenever I want, and I could get you blacklisted there, too. Believe that?”
“Ha! You’re talking nonsense! If you’re really that powerful, make Morfort Restaurant kick me out then,” Cassie mocked, laughing.
Spotting Thea up ahead, Kole grabbed Cassie’s hand quickly. “Let’s go. No use wasting time on these broke-ass losers. We don’t want to be late. They’re all talk. Just beggars who don’t deserve even the scraps from Morfort Restaurant.”
Kole laughed along with his sister, their eyes burning with disdain.
Eloise was pissed off and ready to fire back, but Christina stopped her before she could.
“Why didn’t you let me put them in their place? They’re unbelievable!” Eloise growled.
“It’s a waste of time,” Christina said. “Better to have Morfort Restaurant kick them out and blacklist their sorry asses.”
“But… the owner of Morfort Restaurant is super mysterious. Even my family hasn’t managed to get close to them,” Eloise said, frowning.
Christina smirked a little, waving her phone like a secret weapon. “Don’t worry about it. I actually know the owner.”
