Mandy smiled faintly after hearing Thomas’s words.“You must be joking, Mr. Burton. It’ll be bad if people misunderstand.”“Misunderstand? What’s there to misunderstand?”Thomas burst out laughing.“The entire business circle here knows that CEO Zimmer herself is a kind and beautiful lady! It’s been a while since I’ve pursued you!”“Enough dreaming!” Jovie hissed.“Mandy already has a partner!”“This right here is the legendary live-in son-in-law, Harvey York! He’s Mandy’s ex-husband.”“I heard that they’re just about to get remarried, too.”“You filthy men have no chance!”The men all gasped after hearing Jovie’s words.Even Thomas was filled with shock when he looked at Harvey; he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.Nobody thought that such an ordinary-looking man was actually Mandy’s legendary live-in husband.“That said, I heard that Aunty Yates doesn’t like him at all. It’s hard to say if the marriage will actually be a success or not.”Vienna showed a faint smi
Jovie quickly gave Vienna a look after hearing Mandy’s words.“Vienna! You can’t say that!” she exclaimed.“We’re all friends here!”“Enough about them! We should see when Young Master Saban’s coming.”“After all, we’re here to get an angel investor for Mandy.”Harvey froze before glancing at Mandy.‘Why does she still need an angel investor after I settled the debt for her?’Thomas froze as well.“What’s going on here, Mandy?”“You’re the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch! You came all the way here for your expansion!”“Is there something wrong with your funds recently?”“Yeah. There’s been a problem.”Mandy clicked her tongue, looking awkward. She didn’t want Harvey to know about this, but she couldn’t care less anymore since he was here anyway.Thomas thought about the situation for a moment, then gritted his teeth.“How much do you need? Just let me know.”“Can you have some respect for yourself, Thomas?!”Vienna raised her head, screeching.“Your entire com
Thomas was shocked to hear Idris’s name.“Are you talking about the young master of the Evergreen Capital Group? The company that’s on par with the Deepsky Corporation?!”“So you do have a bit of knowledge!”Jovie arrogantly pointed at Thomas with her nose.“You’re right about that.”“His family has billions of dollars worth of assets, and it’s all cash flow! It wouldn’t be hard for him to hand out three hundred million.”“More importantly, the company’s the same as the Deepsky Corporation—both companies are backed up by the most mysterious family in the Golden Sands!”“Do you know who that major figure is?”Thomas frowned.“I don’t really know much, but at least I know that both companies are backed up by the mysterious Jackson family. The family is at least on par with both the Patel family and the John family.”“Legends say that the Jackson family was once listed as one of the five hidden families…”“But since they were so discreet and preferred to only pull the strings b
“Let me find a way to help!”“I can’t get that much money…”“But if I sell everything I have, I can probably get thirty million.”Thomas gritted his teeth, looking determined.“You don’t need to pay interest! Just use it to get by for now.”“I’ll think of another way to get more.”“In any case, you can’t borrow any money from Idris!”Mandy froze, but then shook her head.“I can’t take your money, Mr. Burton.”“You’ll ruin all your chances for success if you do this! I can’t accept it!”Thomas had a righteous look on his face.“I’m just repaying kindness with kindness.”“You were the one who helped me get through my predicament before! I can’t just turn back on you now!”“It’s settled!”“Shut your damn mouth!”“Who even asked for your opinion?!” Jovie snarled, looking deeply annoyed.“You don’t even have enough to buy your own grave, yet you’re here trying to save other people?”“Do you understand just how big Mandy’s family is? Your money’s just pocket change to her!”
Meanwhile, Vienna quickly ran forward and placed her plump chest on Idris’s arm.“Thank you for coming all the way here, Young Master Saban!”“I’ll give you all of my body just for this!”“Enough, both of you.”Idris shot them an impatient look.“You said that there’s a pretty lady that needs money. Where is she right now?”“Right here, Young Master Saban!”Jovie quickly dragged Mandy here, who was still in a bad mood.“Mandy, this is Young Master Saban.”Mandy started to understand Idris’s attitude then and there. She deduced that Thomas was probably speaking the truth…However, she had no choice when she considered the ninth branch’s assets.“Hello,” she said with a faint smile.“I was the one who asked for your help.”“Oh! You really are a beauty! You’re the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch, too! Identity, status, and looks are all on your side. Not bad…not bad at all!”Idris naturally knew who Mandy was.That said, with the Jackson family behind his back, he di
“Yes, think about it! The waters are extremely deep here. It won’t be easy for you to get this much money!”“His conditions are a little unreasonable, but it’s the most realistic compared to most others.”Vienna had a bitter look on her face, and was talking as if she was doing this for Mandy’s sake.“Besides, everything’ll pass soon. You won’t lose anything just by letting him have you, anyway!”“More importantly, getting acquainted with Young Master Saban will only benefit you!”“With this connection, you’ll have another business in the Golden Sands! This is good for you!”Jovie and Vienna had borrowed money from the same man.Not only were they constantly forced to sleep around, they couldn’t pay up their interests for the longest time.And so, they wanted to sacrifice Mandy to settle everything once and for all.After all, Idris was so interested in Mandy that he’d forget about their interests as long as he could have her.Simply put, if Mandy refused the money, the two w
Jovie and Vienna were forcing themselves to smile brightly as they got back off the ground.Naturally, they were well-versed with Idris’s scummy behavior.People who try to stop him from getting what he wanted would only die horrible deaths.Though Idris was quite the skilled fighter, the men in suits behind him would be enough to terrify people.Only those with a death wish would dare utter a single word of dissent in front of him.Mandy lifted Thomas off the ground, screaming at Idris, “You’re insane!”“I’ll call the cops on you!”“Call the cops?”A man with a mohawk behind Idris guffawed coldly.“The entire police station is filled with Young Master Saban’s men! If you can do anything with the cops, I’ll swallow this entire table whole!”“Sigh. Don’t say things like that, you’ll scare off the pretty lady!”Idris clicked his tongue before flashing Mandy a faint smile.“I know you’re powerful, Mandy, but I’m still going to tell you the same thing: in a place like Golden Sa
Mandy had been dealing with a lot of trouble since she came to Golden Sands.She had to deal with the ninth branch’s stocks and their financial difficulties.But because of the Jean family’s reputation, she had been doing pretty well in the city.The people she usually met would seem extremely polite while pulling the strings behind the back.No matter how fierce the battle would be in the dark, everyone would still respect each other on the surface.That said, she never thought that Idris would cross this line without hesitation. He was simply being overbearing at this point.“Shame?”Idris flashed her a pompous smile, and his eyes were a disdainful glare.“For the Evergreen Capital Group, people who disobey us die!”Idris’s lips hooked into a cold smile, and he held Mandy's chin.In recent years, with the Evergreen Capital Group and the Jackson family’s support, Idris had been doing whatever he pleased in the city.Even those from the Patel family and the John family would
