Chapter 282

“Have you brought all the documents with you?” Wanda asked.

“They’re all here.” Gerard brought his briefcase over. It had all the documents needed for a loan application inside.

Wanda turned to Jenny and said, “Ms. Robson, bring him to do the credential check.”

“Okay.” Jenny stood up to leave.

“There’s no rush. You can go after the dinner.”

“Alright, then.” Jenny sat back down.

“Thank you, Ms. Thompson. Thank you.” Gerard was overjoyed that the negotiations seemed to come to

an end.

He even regretted not agreeing to Wanda’s terms in the first place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been laughed at by Carlisle.

Carlisle whispered in Wanda’s ear, “Did you lend him the money for my

sake?”

Wanda smirked. “That’s the half of it. The other half is because I want to make money.”

Carlisle chuckled and said, “Don’t cry if he doesn’t pay you back later.”

Wanda was shocked by Carlisle’s words. She widened her eyes and asked, “He doesn’t have the habit of not paying back debts, does he?”

Carlisle shook his head with a smile. “I wouldn’t know.”

For as long as he could remember, he rarely encountered Gerard. His father also didn’t particularly like talking about Gerard.

Still, he knew that Gerard deeply cared about his reputation, so it was unlikely that he would not pay back the money he had borrowed.

Wanda grinned. “If Mr. Zahn doesn’t pay me back, I’ll look for you.”

Carlisle smirked. “Then I suggest you not lend it to him at all.”

At this moment, Gerard raised the wine glass before him and said, “Carl, I’ve made mistakes in the past. Let’s forget about all that after this/toast. I’ll also treat you and your family well from now on.”

Carlisle looked up and stared at Gerard incredulously. He was unwilling to believe Gerard’s nonsense, but he also hoped that Gerard would keep his word.

He no longer wanted to see his parents being bullied by Gerard’s family.

After a moment of hesitation, Carlisle picked up his glass and said indifferently, “You don’t have to treat us well, I just hope that you can stop showing off in front of my parents.”

“You know how Maria is. I’ll talk to her about it later. I’ll drink first.” Gerard gulped down the wine in his glass.

Carlisle also finished his glass of wine.

At this moment, however, Wanda’s phone rang. She retrieved her phone and glanced at the screen. It was

Queenie calling.

She went to the side to answer the phone.

“Hey, Queenie.”

“Where are you?”

“I have a business deal outside,” came Wanda’s reply.

“Where at?”

“A1 Seafood Restaurant.”

Queenie perked up at this news. “What a coincidence, Zachary and I are going there for dinner as well.”

“Huh? Aren’t you going to have dinner at Imperial Hotel?” Wanda was a little anxious as she had planned to take a walk with Carlisle later. There wouldn’t be a chance for that if Queenie and Zachary came.

“There are only a few signature dishes in Imperial Hotel. We’re tired of them.”

“Aren’t you tired of the dishes in A1 Seafood Restaurant as well?” Wanda asked with a chuckle.

Queenie let out a quiet grunt. “But it’s economical.”

“Alright then, come over quickly. I’ll book a private room for you.” Wanda sounded a little upset.

“Forget it. Don’t book it. I want to eat Hanese food.” Queenie suddenly changed her mind.

“Okay, have a pleasant night, then.” Wanda instantly became delighted. “Okay, bye.”
