<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Lottie, when you have a momentter, could you exin things to him?” Cecilia asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte readily agreed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After stepping outside, Eric chastised Marcus for unnecessarily dragging Cecilia into the situation.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Marcus, I don’t mean to be blunt, but have you considered how it would look if Cecilia were to do us this favor? People might assume I’m just a gold digger trying totch onto a wealthy woman. They mightbel me as the other man, only interested in Cecilia for her money, even going so far as to pit her against her own husband.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Marcus was somewhat speechless. Well, your current one–sided infatuation with Cecilia is already morally questionable.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I understand. It won’t happen again,” Marcus responded with a hint of resignation in his voice.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric nodded before asking, “Okay. Could you assist me in selling all my properties, both domestic and abroad, as soon as possible?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He wanted to terminate his contract with Imminence Corporation as soon as possible and then go to work at Cecilia’spany.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Marcus had no choice but toply, but he still warned Eric, “Selling all your properties will only get you around a billion at most. You’ll have to figure out another way to get the rest of the money.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric had never considered relying on his parents for financial support, but he was then out of options. He had no choice but to call them.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Back then, he had made quite a name for himself and earned a substantial amount of money, a significant portion of which he had given to his parents.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric thought it would be easy to get the money. However, n wore a stern expression and asked, “What do you need so much money for? Is it for that married woman?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Dad, what are you talking nonsense about?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Am I talking nonsense? It’s all over the news. They’re saying you’re involved with a woman who has a child. What on earth is going on? Instead of dating a decent girlfriend, you’ve chosen a woman who’s already married and has a child. Let me tell you something. Neither your mother nor I will approve. If you want money, go ask that woman!” n abruptly hung up the phone after that.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric felt rather helpless, so he tried reaching out to some of his celebrity friends over the phone.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, those so–called friends were merely fair–weather friends. Upon hearing the recent negative news, they tly refused to lend him any money.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With a somewhat helpless look, Marcus gazed at him and said, “I still have two hundred million at my disposal, which I can lend to you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Marcus, you’re the best. Once I start earning, I’ll share half my sry with you.”</font></font>Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t say that. You should just focus on singing!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">While the two were engaged in conversation, Eric received a call from Charlotte.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Marcus snatched the phone and began discussing the contract signing with Charlotte.</font></font>
He also finally understood what Cecilia meant earlier, so he said, “All right. Sure. I’ll ry the message to Eric.”
He then ended the call and ryed Cecilia’s words to Eric.
“It’s like knowing your sry in advance,” Marcus said.
Eric was still not ready to agree, but at that moment, a call came through from thewyer, Ernest.
“Hey, Mr. Palmer. Is your payment ready yet? If not, ourpany will have to initiate legal proceedings to protect our rights,” Ernest said,
It had to be said that Nathaniel had a knack for reading people. Thewyer he chose was relentlessly pressing.
“I’ll stick to our agreement and terminate the contract next week,” Eric enunciated.
Ernest was somewhat puzzled. Where is he getting the money from? ording to the investigation, he simply doesn’t have that much money.
After hanging up the phone, Ernest quickly ryed the matter to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel’s fingers paused on the keyboard. “Have someone tail him. Check where he’s getting his money from.”
“Understood.”
Ernest was just about to leave, but Nathaniel stopped him again and asked, “Why haven’t those online public opinions been dealt with yet?”
A rare look of difficulty emerged on Ernest’s face. “I found out that the instigator of this incident was Cassandra’s aunt, who is also Queenie’s younger sister. She has significant influence, and she has restricted the cirction of our rifications.”
It’s someone from the Jamieson family again! Once I’ve dealt with Orion Corporation, I should deal with the Jamieson family. Otherwise, they’ll continue to actwlessly. Nathaniel was deep in thought.
