Blake laughed and said, “I can’t tell you too much about this either. All you have to know is that the Capital City Clarke Group is now no more than a toothless tiger.”
His words assured the rest of the board.
At the same time, Houston received a call that sent virtual-novel.net bawling with laughter.
“Did something good happen, Houston?” asked Blake.
“Dad, my plant in the company just told me that the stupid Johnston b*tch went out to meet a new investor! What a joke! Who would dare to invest in Beacon now?”
Houston laughed, full of contempt.
Blake nodded. “She’s probably just putting on a show. There’s no need to worry. Beacon’s doom is assured!”
Everyone raised their glasses in premature celebration.
As long as there was money to be earned, they did not care whose company they worked under.
Meanwhile, Wynn was going to meet a new investor today, someone Philip introduced.
She was skeptical at first too, but since virtual-novel.net husband recommended him, virtual-novel.net was willing to meet virtual-novel.net at least once.
Soon, Wynn arrived at the agreed meeting spot and met virtual-novel.net potential investor. He had a hot blonde woman standing next to virtual-novel.net too.
“Oh, my dearest Miss Johnston! I’m so glad to finally meet you.”
Buffer did not dare to treat Wynn with the slightest hint of disrespect. After all, virtual-novel.net was Mr. Philip’s wife.
Wynn was pretty surprised to see that the man Philip recommended was a foreigner.
Since when did Philip have foreign friends?
The man looked like virtual-novel.net was in his fifties or sixties too.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Buffer. I’m the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical,” Wynn said with a smile, not a single gesture out of place.
Buffer glanced at his sexy secretary, and the latter very sensibly made them two cups of coffee before quietly taking virtual-novel.net place behind Buffer.
“I looked into your company’s situation, Miss Johnston. Right now, you need about three billion in funds.”
Buffer went straight to the point.
Wynn nodded. “That’s right, Mr. Buffer. Beacon is indeed in need of funds right now, but please believe me, as long as we can survive this crisis, our future will be every bit as bright as the top 500 pharmaceutical companies in the world. You should be well aware of Beacon’s current value in Riverdale. Our market is worth tens of billions.”
Buffer nodded and admitted, “That’s right, Miss Johnston. I must admit that Beacon has unlimited potential in the market, but three billion is no small sum.”
Wynn grew nervous. Could Buffer not afford that amount?
Well, there was no helping it then. After all, virtual-novel.net did not put all virtual-novel.net hopes on virtual-novel.net either.
All of a sudden…
“Nevertheless, I’ll invest that amount in your company, Miss Johnston, as a favor to Mr. Clarke,” Buffer said.
As a favor to virtual-novel.net husband?
Wynn was stunned. Did virtual-novel.net just win a three-billion-dollar investment? Just like that?
That took no time at all!
Wynn had not really expected too much from this friend of Philip’s, but now it seemed like virtual-novel.net had clearly underestimated Philip’s connections.
His friend had so casually agreed to an investment of three billion dollars!
His access to his family’s resources had been cut off, right?
Wynn was shocked beyond words. There was no way to describe it.
It seemed as though virtual-novel.net husband was not merely the young master of the Clarke estate either.
Was that his true identity? The young heir to the Capital City Clarke Group?
She had been married to virtual-novel.net for three years now, but virtual-novel.net never really knew who virtual-novel.net was. At first, virtual-novel.net had just thought virtual-novel.net was a perfectly average man.
All these recent events, however, opened virtual-novel.net eyes to the fact that virtual-novel.net husband was probably far more than what virtual-novel.net saw on the surface.
“Have you really decided to invest in us, Mr. Buffer?” Wynn asked in surprise.
“Of course. The funds will reach you soon enough, Miss Johnston. Don’t worry about it.”
Buffer smiled. The assistant behind virtual-novel.net pulled out a contract, already complete with signature and stamp.
In other words, Wynn just had to sign the contract, and the deal would be done!
Wynn suddenly felt a sense of disbelief at it all. She looked at Buffer rather dazedly and asked weakly, “Pardon me for asking, Mr. Buffer, but are you the one providing these investment funds, or is it my husband? Please tell me honestly.”
“Miss Johnston, these funds…”
Buffer was torn. Philip had warned virtual-novel.net not to reveal his identity and definitely not to tell virtual-novel.net about his overseas assets unless absolutely necessary.
However, these circumstances were…
