The bet is on! What will the winner be rewarded? Someone asked in the group chat.

The discussion soon got a lot more attention.

That was what everyone wanted to know.

After all, no one would be interested in participating in a bet they could not afford.

One of the higher-ups smirked subtly before typing: A bottle of Louis XiIIl! Louis XIII! Not bad.

Someone's gambling big.

Alright, I am in! Count me in.

One by one, the rest of the room put down their bets.

Following suit, everyone lowered their cell phones and turned their attention to Shane.

Under the anticipation of the board, Shane picked up the phone.

His lips parted and asked, "How's my wife?"

With those three words, the entire conference room was split into two sets of emotions.

Half of them cheered silently in their victory while the other half sighed miserably upon their defeat.

The losing half now had to buy a bottle of Louis XIII each and gifted them to those who won the bet.

Fortunately, everyone in the room was high-ranking officials and had a considerably fat paycheck.
