Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Shiloh's two brothers exchanged glances. After a long moment of consideration, they finally agreed not to sign the agreement.

However, they insisted that Marco give them a two-million-dollar deposit upfront-in cash, not through a bank transfer. A transfer would leave a paper trail, making it easy to trace.

After all, they were dirt poor. If they suddenly received two million out of nowhere, even an idiot would suspect something shady was going on.

Marco set down his glass of juice and stood up. "Alright, I'll get your deposit now."

"Take your time," one of them replied, continuing to eat.

Marco headed upstairs to retrieve the money.

Ever since their mother passed, he and his brothers had been wary of their sister freezing their bank accounts. Just in case, they had already withdrawn every last cent from the account that funded their monthly expenses. Marco rarely touched that money anyway. To him, tens of thousands-or even hundreds of thousands-a month wasn't enough to buy a decent watch.

Usually, he'd let the money pile up for a year or two before transferring it to another account or withdrawing it in cash. That cash made it easier to impress women-flashing stacks of bills had a way of attracting beautiful girls. Few people could resist that kind of showy arrogance.

This time, he remembered withdrawing several million in cash and locking it in his safe.

When their mother was alive, they spent extravagantly-buying cars worth millions and paying in full, purchasing houses the same way.

Marco was used to burning through money like it was nothing. Spending millions felt as casual to him as spending a few hundred dollars did to the average person.
