Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 292

Just then, Lynn walked over with Riley in her arms.

When Mark saw her, he blushed and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I only became Mr. Donovan's fighter to make a living. Moreover, he paid for my mom's surgery. I owe him, so I have no choice but to help him out."

"Even so, you could just pay him back the money. Why do you have to help him do bad things?" I asked.

Mark shot me an angry look. "Do you think it's that simple? You guys are so rich, so you don't understand what it's like for people like me. While I may be righteous, money still gets in the way!

"Mr. Donovan paid 600 thousand dollars for my mom's surgery. So, I must work as his fighter for at least ten years to repay him!"

I was stunned. "Ten years? Are you saying that he only pays you 60 thousand dollars a year to be his fighter?"

Mark corrected me. "It's 80 thousand dollars. After deducting 20 thousand dollars for my living expenses, I'll send the remaining 60 thousand dollars to Mr. Donovan to pay off the surgery."

Honestly, 80 thousand dollars was still a very low salary!

Since Quintus was more skilled than Mark, I couldn't really compare their salary.

However, in the White family, even the least skilled bodyguards received a base salary of at least 120 thousand dollars a year. On top of that, they also received bonuses and allowances ranging from 30 to 50 thousand dollars.

As for the top bodyguards, their salaries started at around 300 thousand dollars a year.

With Mark's skills, his salary should easily be over 200 thousand dollars annually. So, the 80 thousand dollars was ridiculously low!

I asked, "Had you ever worked as a fighter for anyone else before Maximus?"

Mark shook his head. "I used to be a laborer on construction sites. However, Mr. Donovan saw something in me. So, he gave me the chance to be his bodyguard and fighter.

"That also opened doors for me to travel with him and experience different places and events."
