The Three Million That Became an IOU Chapter 7
The incident went viral online. Under pressure, the company's headquarters quickly dealt with it.Not only did they give me three million, but they also promised me a comfortable position and guaranteed I would be taken care of for life. The company's reputation recovered fast. In fact, it was even better than before.At the height of all this, I refused the job and only took the money.Hearing that, Mom pursed her lips and sighed. "Fine… Now that you have three million, we can get Anthony into college, and we can all live together."She was already thinking about whether to get a three-bedroom or a two-bedroom apartment, but I cut her off, "I'm not giving any of this money to him."She froze. "Zachary, you can't just forget your family because you have money now. You know his situation. If you don't take care of him, how's he going to live? As his brother—""First of all, money can't buy him a spot in college. And second, just because I'm his brother doesn't mean I owe him every

"Mom? What are you doing here?" I asked.Faced with my questioning, she grabbed my hand and pulled hard. "I told you not to make a scene! Why are you still here? Must you ruin your life over this? Mr. Wilson and Connor have been trying to protect you! They even paid out of their own pockets. Why can't you just let go of that money?"Every word she said felt like a stab into my heart. I couldn't take it anymore and shook her hand off."What nonsense are you talking about? They're the ones framing me! Why are you standing on their side? Did they promise you something again?"The moment she uttered her first words, I already knew Connor had brought her here. The factory never allowed non-employees in casually, and her timing was way too convenient."You're sick again, aren't you?" Mom barked, then struck me across the face.She turned toward Victor and started crying out, "You must be the CEO. It's all my fault that I didn't raise him right. He planned this whole thing himself. I ca

After saying that, Victor patted my remaining arm. "Don't worry, young man. I'll make sure this gets resolved. Your compensation isn't just 30,000. It's three million. I'll have the finance department contact you and transfer it as soon as possible."The way he handled it so decisively and authoritatively caused the live stream chat to erupt with cheers. People were fawning over how attractive and amazing he was.Meanwhile, Mike went weak in the knees. "Mr. Armstrong, it's really not what you think. Please give me a chance to explain. Yes, I took the money, but it wasn't for myself!"He looked frantic. Everyone at the scene saw a man in his 50s forcing tears out of his eyes. "When his arm got caught, the machine stopped and was down for days! The losses were more than three million. I didn't pocket anything. It all went to cover the gap! And, and…"He choked and couldn't finish.Connor jumped in, saying, "Mr. Armstrong, you've really misunderstood him. The reason he didn't give th

Mike and Connor froze. Victor walked over, his face kind and gentle. "Young man, are you one of our employees? You said you came to thank your plant manager. What did he do exactly?"From the look in his eyes, I could tell he knew exactly who I was.After all, an employee at one of his plants had lost an arm, and the company had agreed to pay three million dollars. Without his signature, that money wouldn't have hit the account that same night.He wanted a positive story, and his gaze oozed with admiration as he looked at me. Since he wanted to hear the truth, I wasn't going to act mysterious. Just as I was about to speak, someone covered my mouth.Mike leaned in and whispered in front of Victor, "Mr. Armstrong, you can't trust anything he says. He's not here to thank anyone; he's here to cause trouble. He got the compensation but doesn't think it's enough."Connor nodded along. "That's right, Mr. Armstrong. You can't believe a word he says!"Sure enough, after hearing them, Vict

Mike's smile froze. "Okay… What else were you expecting?"Connor chimed in from the side, "Zachary, 30,000 isn't a small amount. Mr. Wilson even paid it out of his own pocket. How much more do you want?"I looked them both dead in the eye. "Three million dollars."The room went silent. A few seconds later, Mike exploded. "Are you out of your mind? Giving you 30,000 is already against the rules. How could you ask for three million? Just rob a bank at this point!"Connor joined in, "You're going overboard, Zachary. Three million? That's straight-up extortion. If we call the cops, they could lock you up. Just take the win, dude."That was when it hit me. These two were playing a game. One played the bad guy, the other the good guy. Most likely, they were working together and had already pocketed the three million for themselves.I let out a cold laugh. "If you think I'm extorting you, go ahead and call the cops. My arm got crushed, and it's considered a total permanent disability. B

At that, Connor frowned in disapproval. "I know losing your arm sucks, but don't make decisions while you're angry. If you don't pay, you're going to jail—at least ten years. By then, your whole life will be over."He looked genuinely heartbroken, as if he were truly thinking for my sake. In my previous life, I was completely taken aback by his talks about the three-million-dollar damage and ten-year sentence. I let him talk me into signing that IOU. The next day, he came to me without a troubled expression and said he had been fired because of my incident. I felt extremely guilty toward him. After I got out of the hospital, I even went to thank him with gifts, only for his neighbor to tell me he had gone to a small town after being fired. I always thought he was living a hard life there.One day, while I was collecting garbage in a small town, I overheard him talking with someone. Apparently, right after my arm was crushed, the factory reported it to the headquarters. They were
