Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Three Million That Became an IOU: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 7

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

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

"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.
