Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 49

Staring at the contract on the floor, Penny chewed on her lip as she warred with herself.

If she did not sign the contract, the project would stall because of lack of funds and Cross Corporation might go bankrupt.

If she signed it, Cross Corporation would survive and be able to finish the project at Asiatic. On the other hand, they would technically be slaving away for the Smith family, allowing those greedy people to grow fatter on their hard work.

Noting how she was struggling to make a decision, Nathan drawled lazily, “Heh, you people truly are like a pack of dogs, turning on the weak in their times of need. Dear, don’t agree to their terms.”

She turned to look at him, whispering, “But if we don’t, our financial crisis...”

Smiling, he answered in a normal volume so everyone could hear, “Have you already forgotten what I’ve told you? This project has good prospects, and you’re also a competent person. A lot of bosses will come to invest in us. You’ll see.”

The Smiths’ faces contorted in rage at his words. They had seen how Penny had been close to caving in, to their demands, yet he was now advising her against accepting their terms.

Putting on a tough front, Samuel threatened, “Penny, you’d better think this through carefully. If you reject my terms now, you’ll definitely come crawling back to me when you realize that you don’t have any other option. If, no, when that happens, you won’t be getting even a speck of profit!” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As he finished, a man’s voice rang out from the office door, “You don’t need to threaten Ms. Smith like that. She doesn’t need your pitiful investment.”

Under the astonished gazes of everyone except for Nathan, a group of men trudged into the office.

The man who had spoken was the Director of Channing Bank, Liam Harrison.

Following behind him were several middle-aged men, each dressed smartly in expensive clothing. There was no doubt that they were all billionaires.

Amongst them were three other notable figures. There was the owner of Juno Hotel, George Miller; the boss of Watson Holdings Corporation, Wyatt Kent; and the Chairman of Avery Real Estate, Calvin Grant.

As they entered the office, they immediately hurried forward to greet Nathan and Penny respectfully.

Taken aback by having such important people greet her, Penny was almost automatic in her responses.

Nathan, on the other hand, had a placid look on his face as these older men addressed him, merely humming his acknowledgement.

Not deterred by his arrogance, they were almost fawning over him.

Samuel and his entourage had dumbfounded looks on their faces. They had not expected for so many bigshots to suddenly appear.

Finally unable to contain himself any longer, he spoke up haltingly, “Director Harrison, what did you mean by your earlier words?”

Liam eyed the man coldly, before replying, “I said, you don’t need to threaten Ms. Smith. Channing Bank will loan her that five hundred million, free of interest.”

What?

Penny, Samuel, and his family were all shocked into silence.

By contrast, his words had the other men who had come with him deeply unhappy, as they started calling out loudly.

George Miller huffed in displeasure as he announced, “Director Harrison, what do you mean by that? The Miller family is willing to invest two hundred million in Ms. Smith, no terms attached.”

Wyatt Kent’s voice was anxious when he shouted, “Watson Holdings Corporation invests three hundred million in Ms. Smith. We don’t need any repayment.”

Even seventy-year-old Calvin Grant cried out, “Avery Real Estate is also investing five hundred million. We won’t take any repayment either.”
