“Quinton, how did you get to know each other? Look at you. You are carrying so many things! Come and sit here.”
Mila’s mother was Helen Smith, and virtual-novel.net was the vice president of their company.
Hence, virtual-novel.net had a wide social network.
Although Quinton had been involved in an ugly scandal days ago for his immoral actions, Mrs. Smith was well aware of the potential of his family. Besides, it was acceptable for a young man to misconduct sometimes in his life.
More importantly, the Ziegler family had expanded its business in Mayberry Commercial Street. They would rise to power soon.
If virtual-novel.net company could receive help from the Ziegler family this time, wouldn’t it mean that their crisis would be solved?
Upon hearing Mrs. Smith’s questions, Quinton gave Gerald a dirty look and said, “Of course I know him! He is a notorious character in the university!”
Thinking of how Gerald was present during his last few embarrassing moments, Quinton’s hatred toward Gerald began to grow.
After making those icy remarks, Quinton sat down on the main seat of the sofa.
Victor had heard of Quinton Zeigler before and knew what kind of a character virtual-novel.net was in society, and so, virtual-novel.net smiled and nodded at the latter politely.
Whitney also did the same, hoping that Quinton would take notice of virtual-novel.net presence.
She did not mind his nasty past as virtual-novel.net was undeniably the son of one of the richest in Mayberry!
However, Quinton’s eyes were on Mila alone.
After what had happened just recently, Quinton and Alice had broken up for good.
Luckily, Quinton’s father was a businessman who had a huge network.
Coincidentally, Mila’s father’s company had a business relationship with theirs.
Previously, Quinton had attempted several times to ask Mila out for dinner but was rejected. So, to Quinton, Mila Smith was a cold-hearted goddess who had never acknowledged him.
However, the situation had changed. Now that Mila’s family was facing a huge crisis, Quinton could reignite his plan.
He ought to act as a kind man at the very least.
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith. My father had received news about your company, so, I am here on behalf of my father to gain a better understanding of you in person. I will make a call to my father later to explain the situation to virtual-novel.net and see if virtual-novel.net can help out. Besides, all these friends of Mila who are here today are no commoners. We can work together to figure out a good way to help you overcome the crisis!” Quinton said with a confident smile.
“Indeed. You are absolutely right, Quinton. I truly hope those of you who have connections with influential people can help us if possible.” Helen Smith started to take a liking toward Quinton.
She had decided to turn a blind eye on his nasty past. All virtual-novel.net could hope for now was Quinton becoming virtual-novel.net son-in-law!
Victor and the rest nodded in agreement.
“Quinton is right. Although we might not be as powerful as the Ziegler family, we can still contribute as much as we can. After all, Mila’s company is just facing some capital constraints, it still retains its potential.”
“Yeah. One of my mother’s friends holds a high position in the bank, maybe we can get a loan from virtual-novel.net bank!”
Everyone was working hard with what they had to help. Some helped with their own money, some used their connections to get funding.
Helen was very glad to see them all willing to help.
She was very clear about the backgrounds of virtual-novel.net daughter’s friends. Not one of them was from a mediocre family.
However, when virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald, virtual-novel.net felt disgusted.
Gerald was looking at his phone, swiping his finger on the screen, as if virtual-novel.net was looking for something. How pretentious.
Since when did Mila get to know someone so low?
And it was a horrible nightmare when virtual-novel.net realized that this man had feelings for virtual-novel.net daughter!
“Gerald, don’t you have lectures to attend? Thank you for your concern, but you should not neglect your studies. Why don’t you go back first?”
Helen Smith had sensed Quinton’s hostility to Gerald, so, virtual-novel.net acted quickly to send virtual-novel.net away.
Her action surprised Gerald who was just about to call Zack.
Somehow, virtual-novel.net could understand why virtual-novel.net did so. She must have thought that virtual-novel.net was the useless one and apparently, virtual-novel.net had chosen to side with Quinton.
Gerald felt bitter.
He admitted that virtual-novel.net had done some bad things before, but that was nothing in comparison to Quinton’s deeds. Just because virtual-novel.net was a famous second-generation rich, his dreadful past was easily forgotten by others.
As for him, being forgiven by the other people seemed impossible. To them, virtual-novel.net was simply disgusting!
Why did they receive different treatment from others? Well, Quinton was rich, and virtual-novel.net was penniless.
“Duh, look at him! He’s acting as if virtual-novel.net is calling someone for help. As if virtual-novel.net could!”
