Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Seeing the doubt on Penny’s face, Nathan spoke again, “Don’t you think that this project of ours has a lot of potentials, being a good investment?”

She did not need to even think about it. “Of course! This project is one of the most important projects in the city. As long as we do it well, the returns would definitely be immense.”

The man’s eyes crinkled in a smile as he exclaimed, “Exactly! Those men did not get to be so wealthy by being fools. Who doesn’t love money?”

Even though she felt that things were not as simple as he was making it out to be, his words did make a lot of sense.

Whatever the case, she decided not to pry further. This was a good thing anyway.

...

Meanwhile, the Smith family was not in as good a mood as Penny was.

In the study of the Smith Family Mansion.

Sean was sitting on his chair, his face as black as thunder as he glared in front of him. Standing before him were Samuel, Paul, Miles and May.

His tone was furious as he chastised, “Samuel, did you just say that the little b****, Penny, managed to get a bunch of investors?”

Samuel answered bitterly, “I have no idea what’d happened either. Those men were practically falling over themselves to invest in her company.”

From beside him, May burst out, “Yeah! They were like old women at a market fighting over the items on sale. This one said that he would invest three hundred million; that one said five hundred million. I’ve never seen such a shocking thing happen before in all my life...”

“That’s enough! Stop talking!” Sean roared as his face darkened.

The woman’s jaw snapped shut with a click. Everyone looked upset as they thought over the matter before them.

Paul spat hatefully, “Just what exactly happened? We were so close to getting the Asiatic shopping mall project! Why would these bosses suddenly want to invest in her?”

A silence descended upon them as everyone pondered on the question.

Finally, Samuel spoke up slowly, “Actually, it’s not that hard to understand. This project is a huge project. Investing in it would bring considerable returns once it has finished. If even we know this, those businessmen most definitely do. It makes sense that they would want a cut of the profit.”

At his words, everyone present nodded their heads in agreement. Paul sighed wistfully, “If only we had met with Penny earlier to discuss investing in her company. What a pity.”

Sean growled, “No use crying over spilt milk. Now that she doesn’t need any more funds, how are we supposed to nab that project?”

At this, a wicked smile crossed Samuel’s face. “Dad, you don’t need to worry about that. Penny might have the necessary funds now, but Cross Corporation is still relatively small and weak. Plus, she and Nathan angered Joseph Myers when Nathan smashed a beer bottle over his head. You know that he won’t let that slide. He’ll definitely find a way to ruin them.”

“All we need to do now is wait. Once Mr. Myers forces them into a corner, we’ll jump out at the last moment to be the good guys.

We’ll beg Mr. Myers to let Penny go, but in return, she would have to hand the project over to us.”

Smiles split everyone’s lips when they heard Samuel’s suggestion. It was no wonder why, as he was the eldest.

Nodding in satisfaction, Sean reminded his eldest son, “Take the time to get closer to Mr. Myers. Once we get the Asiatic project, I can finally force Penny to divorce that useless Nathan Cross. After that, I’ll marry her off to Mr. Myers.”

Samuel grinned as he replied, “Yes, sir!”
