Chapter 447 Tiffany had been home for some time, but when she heard their conversation, she stayed outside the dining room. She knew everyone did not like her, but listening to their discussion made her feel sick. The Jordans truly were not her family; they even questioned her capability over Jordan Group The thought of her plans and how she would soon leave this family, however, made her happy. These people would soon go into bankruptcy and live poorly! Hah! That was the price of offending her! Her next step would be to make sure everything else could work out as planned. She recomposed her calculative look and walked forward with a faint smile. âGrandpa, Dad, Mom, Auntie, Uncle, Iâve negotiated a deal for the loan. Weâll receive the sum in the next two days.â
âReally?â Joeyâs eyes lit up. Tiffany managed to secure a loan worth 50 billion? Why would the bank agree to such a huge loan?
Of course, Tiffany would not tell them that she had mortgaged all of the properties owned by the Jordan Group, including the main building. She answered calmly, âMhm. I pitched our entire project to them and offered them the highest interest rate; theyâre willing to take the risk with Jordan Group. I understand that many of you are concerned about this project, but please trust my determination and capability. Nobody wants the project to succeed more than I do. I want to prove my capability and to make up to the company for the negative impacts Iâve caused. In two years, our company will be making a lot of profits, and our market value will be fifty percent higher.â Her aspirational words made Lily and Felix look at her in a different light. A 50 percent higher market value? The shares they owned would only increase, and they would earn handsomely! Lily smiled happily. âOh, Tiffany, please donât take into heart what Iâve said before-I was just concerned. If you managed to secure the loan from the bank, we believe that your project will succeed. Weâll just reduce our expenditure in these two years.â âDonât worry, youâre both my closest relatives. I wonât take it to heart.â Tiffany smiled as she maintained her good-girl poise. Even though most of them were displeased by her action, they felt somewhat at ease with how she behaved. After Joey had calmed down, she recalled what happened and felt guilty. Tiffany would not be at fault if he genuinely wanted to meet up with Julian instead of Oliver, yet she scorned her and hated her. Joey internally sighed; Tiffany was such a kind and hard-working daughter... She got Tiffany a set of cutleries. âHave a seat, Tiffany. Look at you-youâve lost weight. Donât go out these days, you should be staying home to take care of your body.â âThank you, Mom. I can only feel better by busying myself. Right, thereâs one more thing. I... Never mind. Letâs eat.â Tiffany pretended she had something else to say but halted. She picked up the spoon. As expected, that only made them want to know more.
Joey asked, âWhat is it? You can tell us, and Iâll help you.â âI...actually...â Tiffany hesitated for a long while before continuing, âI know what I did was disappointing, but many things were out of my control as well. Things wouldnât have turned out the way they did if someone just stopped making me look bad to the public. I didnât know if this person was targeting me or the entire Jordan family, so Iâve asked someone to investigate it. We managed to question an assistant, and she... She said...â Tiffany paused and became more hesitant as though unwilling to continue.
Lily, being the busybody as she always was, pestered, âTiffany, who is it? Just tell us. Weâll help you!â âYeah. To be fair, this person was wrong and is definitely ill-intentioned, always exposing your clips to the public. Just tell us,â Joey encouraged her.
Tiffany pursed her lips and slowly uttered, seemingly unsure and anxious...
