I held Maribel with one hand and the dog with the other, ready to continue shopping, when the CEO suddenly stopped us.
CEO:
"I want to repay you."
"I'll take responsibility for Maribel."
I stopped him.
Hold on.
"Forget Maribel for now—can you take responsibility for the dog?"
"Its drool is all over the place."
"Are you just going to ignore it?"
No one speaks up for the terrier?
By this point, the CEO had put on his suit. He looked quite polished and professional.
In the original story, he was worth billions, his wealth rivaling nations.
After being drugged by his enemies, he had a relationship with the female lead and always claimed to take responsibility.
But in truth, he already had a fiancée.
He intentionally orchestrated competition between the two women.
The female lead's tragedy? He was the primary culprit.
And now he wanted to get involved again.
I immediately—
"Back to your mommy's belly!"
"Taking responsibility isn't necessary, but the pill I just gave you? That was expensive."
The domineering CEO pulled out his wallet, confidently opening it.
"How much?"
"Twenty million."
"... How much?"
I smiled faintly.
"Twenty million. I take checks."
The confident smile on his face disappeared.
He hesitated.
Who knew even rich people could be so stingy?
I patiently persuaded him:
"Twenty million to save your life? Totally worth it."
Ding-dong—
Twenty million credited.
Everyone.
This proves one thing.
Dogs truly are humanity's best friends.
