Chapter 106: Chapter 106

Throughout the meal, William was constantly trying to cop a feel. For many times, Tiana wanted to flip the table and slap his ugly face, yet she suppressed her anger for the sake of her company.

“Mr. Dale, what do you think?”

William lifted Tiana’s chin while tracing his eyes over her face. “Well, actually, I can do you this favor. If you’re willing to be my woman, then the loan application…”

Hearing that, Tiana’s face turned pale. Her eyes were burning with rage as she slapped his hand aside.

“Dream on!”

William slammed his fist on the table and rose to his feet. Instantly, the private room fell into silence.

Everyone shifted their attention to the two. Staring coldly at Tiana, William sneered, “Hmph! This is not up to you!”

The others exchanged glances with each other. Then, they started putting pressure on Tiana. “You should be grateful that Mr. Dale is interested in you.”

“That’s right. We all know what’s the purpose of this dinner. Aren’t you here to sleep with Mr. Dale in exchange for the approval of your loan? There’s no need to play hard to get.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, we should put her in her place.”

Since all of them were William’s subordinates, they knew well that the latter was a vengeful person.

Hence, they were all helping Willian to get his way while treating Tiana with total contempt.

With her eyes reddened, Tiana stood up and roared, “You guys think I won’t dare to defy because I care a lot about my company, huh? If you refuse my loan, I’ll sell the company and quit the entertainment industry for all I care!”

All of them were stupefied by her words.

William quickly retorted, “We all know your company is in hot water. Besides, you haven’t even repaid last year’s loan, and the interest is snowballing. Your company is only worth five million at most. You can’t afford to repay the loan even if you sell your company.”

Hearing that, a smidge of panic appeared on Tiana’s face. Gazing at William in disbelief, she called out, “What are you talking about? I’ve already paid half of last year’s loan! Besides, I still have a million in balance. Why can’t I repay my loan?”

William curled his lips into a wicked smile. Indeed, Tiana was capable of repaying the loan according to the terms of their negotiation.

Unbeknownst to Tiana, he had amended the contract by setting the interest rate to the highest.

As a guileful man, he had swindled a lot of money using this trick.

“I bet you didn’t read the contract carefully before you signed it.”

The alteration of the contract was done by a nifty bit of sleight of hand. As a fresh entrepreneur who had just established her company, Tiana was no match to the experienced and cunning banker.

“How dare you do something like that? Aren’t you afraid that I will make a police report?” Tiana bellowed in anger.

Yet, William was unperturbed. “Well, call the police then. But, do you have any evidence? The terms are all spelled out in black and white. Even if you call the police, there’s nothing they can do about it.”

Being knocked sideways, Tiana slumped back into the chair. Instantly, she tried to recall the details of the negotiating stage.

No wonder William Dale suddenly agreed to my loan application last year after withholding it for a long time. I was elated when my loan was approved. Now it turns out it was all a trap! How stupid am I!

Seeing the woman in despair, William’s desire for her once again surfaced.

“If you’re willing to spend the night with me, perhaps you can still turn things around. As you know, I’m the one who gets to decide whether the bank will approve your loan.”

Tiana’s eyes darkened. I will never consent to sleep with him! If I do, my future will be ruined! With that in mind, Tiana looked up at the man with her eyes full of hatred. “I’d rather die than submit to you!”

It was impossible that she would sleep with a potbellied ugly man.

Hearing her rejection, William’s subordinate was infuriated. They immediately scolded her, “Who do you think you are to reject Mr. Dale?”

“How dare you! You should be grateful enough that Mr. Dale is willing to sleep with you!”

William, too, was seething in anger. Hearing his subordinates’ words, he felt even more humiliated at Tiana’s rejection. He slapped her face forcefully and then started tearing her clothes.

“Arghh- “

Tiana screamed as she tried to push the man who weighed 400 pounds away. Unfortunately, her effort was in vain.

As for William, his mind was influenced by alcohol; there was no rationality left in him.

At that moment, he couldn’t care less about his subordinates’ presence. All he wanted was to force himself on Tiana.

Tiana felt sick to her stomach when the man’s hand fondled her body.

Enraged, she kicked him in the nards.

Instantly, William sprang off at the excruciating pain, knocking his waist against the table. He stooped down and covered his groin, whining in pain.

Not losing any time, Tiana dashed toward the door. Seeing that, William pointed at her and ordered, “Quick! Get her!”

His subordinates immediately lurched toward Tiana. Fortunately, the latter managed to open the door in the nick of time. “Help!” she screamed at the two servers outside the private room.

William’s subordinate grabbed her arms and clenched her shoulders, pulling her back into the room.

With an apologetic smile, they said, “We’re sorry about that. Our friend is drunk.”

“Help! Help- “

Tiana’s eyes welled up with tears. Her words were interrupted when William’s subordinate clasped their hands over her mouth.

Once again, Tiana was being dragged inside the room. At that moment, her eyes were full of despair.

Seeing that, the two servers could feel in their bones that there was something wrong.

One of them signaled the other to go and look for the general manager.

The general manager was stumped after receiving the news.

If anything happened in the restaurant, its reputation would be ruined. However, he couldn’t afford to offend those in the private room.

After pondering for a while, he eventually decided to consult Casper.

After hearing the news, Casper and Stallion shared a look. Now the golden opportunity has come our way!

If they saved Tiana, the latter would owe them a big one. That would make things a lot easier!
