Chapter 591
When Love Comes Late
Under mounting pressure, Jaden reluctantly divulged, âI agreed to invest two million dollars in her company if she drank with me.
Thatâs the extent of it.
â
His back felt as if it were coated in a layer of cold sweat.
Matthew chuckled.
âImpressive!â
That icy smile further unnerved Jaden, who bowed his head like a criminal awaiting sentencing, too frightened to utter a word.
After a moment of silence, Matthew finally spoke.
âHow about this?
Iâll invest twenty million dollars in her company, and youâll drink every last drop of wine on this table on her behalf.
â
He phrased it as a suggestion but left no room for Jaden to object.
Jadenâs face was drained of color.
He was well aware of the consequences of such a feat.
Frantic, he pleaded, âI was wrong.
Iâll never do it again.
Iâll make the investment in her company without any conditions!â

Jaden then turned to Miley for leniency.
âI was blinded by my own foolishness.
Please forgive me.
Iâll invest the two million in your company right away.
â
Miley gave no response, simply nestling into Stellaâs embrace.
The other men in the room silently observed the unfolding drama, not daring to speak up.
They felt that Jaden had reached a precarious position.
Yet, no one intervened, fearful of incurring Matthewâs wrath.
With Miley offering no reply, Jaden wheeled around, hoping for some acknowledgment from Matthew.
But Matthew dismissed him.
He directed his gaze at Stella and said, âYou should take her out of here first.
â
Stella nodded without hesitation.
She was keen to remove Miley from this unsettling environment.
âMiley, letâs go home,â Stella urged, doing her best to support Miley as they left.
Once theyâd exited the private room, Stella glanced back at Matthew.
