Chapter 1 of Targeted Betrayal: My Evil Brother and the 300,000 Deposit

After my mother found out that I had saved three hundred thousand dollars, my brother Clay came to borrow money from me.

He wanted to invest it to make a fortune.

I didn't lend it to him, which caused him to miss the opportunity to make money.

Clay killed me under resentment.

My parents chose to cover up for him.

But they didn't know that Mr. Gray was a scammer!

When I woke up again, I was reborn back when Clay asked me to borrow money.

1

"Yara, I heard that you made a lot of money at work! About three hundred thousand dollars!"

I looked up at Clay who asked this question, and he was looking at me expectantly.

I held back my complex emotions. I came back!

I went back to the time when Clay persuaded me to invest money in business.

In my previous life, I tried so hard to persuade them and refused to give them money, so they did not get deceived.

However, Clay started to hate me when he saw the video posted by Mr. Gray on his Instagram about making a lot of money.

I was silent for a moment, then shook my head. "Who told you that? I only earn a little a month. I have to pay for rent, food, socializing, and give some to our parents. I can barely save any money after all of those. How can I have that much money?"

Clay obviously didn't believe what I said.

He looked suspicious. "Really? Mom said she saw it with her own eyes. There is three hundred thousand dollars in your bank card. Or are you not telling the truth to your family? Are you lying to us?"

As soon as he said this, everyone at the table who was pretending to be eating looked up at me.

It was as if what Clay said was true and I was lying to them.

Clay said seriously, "Don't worry, just give me the three hundred thousand dollars. I will use your ID to apply for a loan of three hundred thousand dollars, then I will pay you back with the loan."

"Trust me, I won't cheat you of your money."

I couldn't believe what I heard. "You mean, I lend you three hundred thousand dollars, and you pay me back three hundred thousand dollars."

Clay said with a look of "you are very smart", "Yes! This is what I meant."

"But the prerequisite for you to pay me back is that you have to use my ID to apply for a loan to pay me back?"

"Yes, otherwise how can I have the money to pay you back?"

I stared him with my eyes wide open for a long time and said, "Wait a minute, let me make it clear."

I didn't understand how anyone could take it for granted like this.

He was a moron, right?

After a long silence, I still couldn't figure out what he was thinking. How come his thought was so unique?

No normal person would come up with this kind of idea.

"Will you lend it to me or not? I'm your brother, can I deceive you?"
