Angelo hesitated a bit, then asked. ‘I need cash, a million a month


    “No problem.”


    “The newspaper needs funding.”


    “I’ll invest.”


    “Ive got nowhere to stay in Devonport.”


    *S Corporation will cover your room and board.”


    ‘Deal.”


    “Pleasure doing business.”


    Sophie and Angelo shook hands, while Tricia standing nearby waspletely dumbfounded


    Is this really how business deals go down?


    A million a month, plus funding, plus room and board–was he some kind of VIP?


    Sophie turned to Tricia and said, “Get someone to draft the contract. I want to sign him up immediately.”


    “Ms. Sophie…”


    Are you sure you don’t want to think it over?


    Sophie shot Tricia a look, and Tricia quickly responded, “Of course, I’ll get it done right away.”


    The employees at the door saw Sophieing out and scurried back to their desks, sitting up straight.


    Sophie led her team out in a manner that felt like a scene straight out of a spy


    movie.


    Outside, Tricia couldn’t hold back any longer. “Ms. Sophie, why spend so much


    on him?”


    Angelo–no one in Devonport had heard of him. Just some good–looking guy


    who appeared out of nowhere.


    Even if the new newspaper was gaining traction, it didn’t justify such a massive investment!


    Emerging News could be bought for a few hundred thousand, yet Sophie was shelling out ten times that amount.


    Sophie replied, “Even if it costs fifty million, buying him is worth it.”


    “Why?”


    “Because hisst name is Pord.”N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Sophie’s lips curled into a slight smile.


    She had only just remembered who Angelo was when she stepped into the CEO’s office.


    She had Vanessa and Sandy to thank for causing a scene before her engagement party–otherwise, it would never have clicked that the son of the famous Pord family woulde to Devonport to run a newspaper.


    The Pord family overseas is a century–old noble family. They say wealth doesn’tst more than three generations, but the Pords have been rich for more than that. They were renowned nobles since thest century, with members who are famous businesspeople worldwide.


    That’s why Sandy could be so bold in Devonport, daring to make a scene at her<b>. </b>engagement party.


    Sophie hadn’t nned to spend fifty million just to get Angelo to work for her, but spending that amount to get to know him was securing a priceless connection.


    Meanwhile, a group of ck–suited bodyguards swarmed into the newspaper office.


    The employees instinctively ducked and covered their heads.


    The lead secretary stepped forward and asked, “Where’s your boss?”


    One of the employees pointed towards the CEO’s office nearby.


    What was going on today? Why were all these VIPs looking for their boss?


    2/3


    13.16


    It must be because of all the recent explosive scandals! That’s why their boss was under the spotlight!


    The employees were convinced of this as the secretary led the team to the CEO’s office door. Opening it, the secretary said, “Mr. Pord, you need to get ready for tonight’s dinner.”


    Hearing this, Angelozily yawned, then took off his incredibly unfashionable ck–framed sses. Beneath them were a pair of cold, dark eyes. He carefully wiped the lenses and said, “That’s a bit of a hassle.”


    “What?”


    “Just now, I’ve been bought. For the dinner, maybe you should talk to my new boss?”


    The secretary was stunned.


    Angelo called out towards the door, “Hey, security! Please show our guests


    out!”
