Chapter 755: Chapter 762

“Really? Do you mean it?” Darian asked excitedly, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes.

“I promise!” Adrian replied solemnly.

Darian found himself in a dilemma again.

If the BRD Group was not also competing for this project, the Anderson Group would have been almost certain to win this tender.

Of course, there were still a few other companies to deal with, but none posed as big of a threat as BRD Group.

‘s

Additionally, Darian figured that if he managed to win the tender and secure the Land, there would be a significant amount of funds needed for the development of the project.

That would also be a significant expense.

With all these, he really couldn’t afford to buy the shares from Adrian.

Seeing that Darian was in a dilemma, Adrian seemed to guess what he was thinking and said casually, “If you really can‘t come up with that much money, you can buy the shares on credit.

”

Upon hearing that, Darian was overjoyed.

He Looked at Adrian intently and asked excitedly, “Mr.

Perkins, what exactly do you mean?”

“Buying these shares on credit is equivalent to me lending you 2 billion from my own pocket.

You can use that money to bid for the project and subsequently, for the project development,” Adrian replied unhurriedly.

Darian was delighted and exclaimed, “Mr.

Perkins, you’re truly a good person!”

But before he could finish his flattery, Adrian interrupted him with a look and said calmly, “However, I demand 150% interest, which means you will have to repay me 3 billion, principal and interest.

Darian’s smile froze on his face.

He felt a violent anger welling up inside him and snarled, “Are you serious? That’s too much!”

“Is that it? Just this Little money?” Adrian cast a glance at Darian, who was fuming.

He held some trinkets in his hand, toying with them absentmindedly.

“I see your point.

But with BRD Group pulling out, it stands to reason that Anderson Group’s odds of securing this project increase.

If my calculations are right, this project could be a gold mine.

Anderson Group could reach new heights, and you’d regain control of SJ Entertainment.

It seems like a fair trade.

”

Adrian’s words got Darian thinking.

He trusted BRD Group’s foresight when it came to investment.

This project promised a handsome profit

However, why would Adrian give up this potential cash cow just for him to take back the Anderson Group?

Taking note of Darian’s expression, Adrian smirked inwardly at his prudence.

“So, what’s your verdict? My investment in the Anderson Group was a blunder, endangering my standing at the company.

If you’re smart, take back those shares quickly.

In that case, I can recoup some of the loss.

”

As Adrian’s meaning dawned on him, Darian realized that securing his position was of greater importance to Adrian than the project itself.

Adrian feigned that he was about to make an exit.

“I’ve given enough ground.

If you’re not interested, so be it.

I’m out of patience.

”

Seeing him about to leave, Darian called out in a rush, “Hold on.

”

Adrian halted but didn’t turn around.

After a moment’s hesitation, Darian agreed, “Fine, let’s get that contract signed.

”

Ten minutes Later, Adrian exited the building, contract in hand, and made a jubilant phone call.

“Perfect, the bait’s taken.

Time to reel in the catch.

”

Meanwhile, Ariana, having completed her resignation formalities, chose not to return to Sarah’s house but retreated to her own rented apartment.

She was fearful that her secret might come to Light, so she feigned devastation and sought solitude in her own place.
