Chapter 27

Author: Dream Traveler
Philip and the others all turned around. They eagerly urged Sophie to accept the terms.

"There's no need. Someone else is willing to work with our company," Victor said.

He wasn't joking. A group of people was already making their way toward the entrance. Victor was sure they were the people Liam had sent. Philip and the rest should shut up now.

"Yeah, right, keep bluffing." Philip and the others scoffed, convinced that Victor had completely lost his mind.

"Hah! I refuse to believe it. Besides me, who else would dare work with you? If anyone does, I'll eat the contract I brought today!" Steve laughed confidently.

Sophie frowned slightly. If Victor had really found a business partner, he would have told her. This had to be nonsense.

Just then, a group of suited men approached hurriedly, confirming Victor's identity before heading straight toward him.

Steve's expression changed instantly. He recognized the middle-aged man leading the group, Landon Bennett, a CEO from one of North

    "Ms. Jensen, I'm here because I'm willing to be your company's guarantor," Landon said in a serious tone. It was clear from his words that he was leagues ahead of Steve in terms of character."What? Voluntarily acting as a guarantor?" Steve muttered. He thought he must have misheard. He quickly slapped his own face, but the truth was undeniable. He hadn't misheard.Philip and the others were also dumbfounded. Could they really be this lucky? At such a critical moment, someone was actually willing to work with their company. Regardless of the reason, someone stepping up to collaborate with them was an enormous blessing. They were thrilled beyond words.They could never have guessed that Landon's willingness to act as a guarantor was all because of Victor.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds. She wondered if she was dreaming. She struggled to suppress her excitement and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Bennett, are you really serious about this partnership?"Landon knew his

    Philip was afraid Steve might retaliate, so after saying a few words, he didn't dare to talk back anymore.Seeing Philip back down, Steve spat in disdain. He then deliberately moved closer to Landon as if this would make them appear to be on better terms.Landon looked at Steve with disgust. He had seen plenty of bootlickers before, and for people like Steve, his response was to simply ignore them."Mr. Bennett, let me treat you to a meal and some drinks," Steve said, completely unaware of Landon's true thoughts. He tried his best to act friendly.Landon pushed Steve away with a sneer. "Drinks? You think you're worthy of drinking with me?"That shove snapped Steve back to reality, leaving him standing there awkwardly."Mr. Carter, didn't you just say that if someone came forward as a partner or guarantor today, you'd eat your contract? You haven't forgotten, have you?" Victor suddenly spoke up. He wasn't the type to hold grudges, but this was entirely Steve's own doing. As a ma

    "Mr. Bennett, you wouldn't go against me just for the sake of a small company, would you? That'd be a case of losing the big for the small." Steve still thought Landon was joking.But to Landon, Steve's words sounded like a threat. He wasn't the kind to be intimidated.Seeing that Landon remained silent, Steve smirked triumphantly at Victor and the others. "See that? My father is close with Mr. Bennett. You think you can rely on him? Not a chance.""All right." Landon uttered the word indifferently.Steve, still clueless about his mistake, pushed his luck even further. "Mr. Bennett, that kid and I have a grudge. You wouldn't want to back the wrong side.""Which kid?" Landon's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze turning colder.Oblivious to the looming danger, Steve sneered and pointed at Victor. "That loser right there.""Oh." Landon glanced back at Victor, then made up his mind to deal with Steve for Victor's sake.Steve let out a sigh of relief. He knew Landon wouldn't take a mi

    "Is the laundry done yet? Is the meal ready? All you do is laze around at home every day! I truly don't understand why my daughter ended up marrying someone like you!"Hearing Margaret Jensen's scornful voice, Victor Quinn remained silent.Yes. He was married.He had married into the Jensen family, becoming a live-in son-in-law to the most stunning CEO in Northlake City. Their wedding had been a shock to many in Northlake City. No one could comprehend how someone as wealthy and beautiful as Sophie Jensen could marry a penniless nobody with no background—someone who couldn't even afford the wedding expenses.On the day of the wedding, not a single member of the Jensen family had attended except his future mother-in-law, Margaret. She had brought along a group of gossips who had criticized him the entire day. Even after the marriage, Margaret never saw him as worthy. She bossed him around daily.Perhaps in her eyes, her daughter could have married a rich man and elevated the famil

    Liam emphasized the word 'outsider'. If it weren't for his precious son, he wouldn't have known that Victor wasn't actually part of the Quinn family by blood.But in the three years since Victor left, even Liam hadn't expected just how important Victor had been. Not only did he maintain connections with many family leaders, but the moment top-tier families learned Victor was no longer with the Quinns, they had canceled their partnerships one after another.As a result, the Quinn family had declined over those years, and now the family's elders and shareholders were all hoping for Victor's return."I'm begging you," Victor said. "Unfreeze my card. I don't want to completely fall out with the family over money. You should know that if I get serious, I absolutely have the ability to do so.""Damn it!"-Bang!Liam slammed his phone against the table. After hanging up, he sat in his chair, his expression gloomy. He was the current head of the Quinn family. He had investigated Vic

    When Victor pulled out the Premium Gold Card, Justin trembled all over. Beside him, Maya was also stunned. She held her breath.The Premium Gold Card was an exclusive privilege reserved for clients with deposits exceeding 10 billion. Such individuals were either top-tier tycoons or members of prestigious families, VIPs whom even Frank Luther, the bank's president, would personally welcome with a smile.Justin quickly recovered from his shock and sneered. "Pulling out a fake card to show off?"It wasn't surprising. Victor was dressed poorly and had arrived on a battered electric scooter. How could someone like him possibly own a Premium Gold Card? Was it a fake card?Victor chuckled and gave Justin a cold look. "Are you blind? You call yourself a manager? You can't even recognize a real Premium Gold Card!"Justin adjusted his glasses and nodded mockingly. "It does look pretty convincing. If I hadn't worked at the bank for so many years and met countless VIP clients, I might've been

    Clenching his jaw, Justin forced an awkward smile and walked over to the electric scooter. He bent down and bowed. "I'm sorry! Kicking you earlier was my fault. Please forgive me!"The electric scooter of course didn't respond. Justin stood beside it awkwardly."Mr. Quinn, what do you think?" Frank asked with an ingratiating smile."All right, just get my money. I've got other things to do," Victor said. He waved Justin off, unwilling to press the matter further. He had more important things to deal with."Got it!" Seeing that Victor seemed somewhat appeased, Frank quickly called Maya over. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and assist Mr. Quinn!""Yes, of course!" Maya finally snapped out of her shock and walked over to Victor with a sweet smile. "Mr. Quinn, please follow me."Soon, the three million was ready, packed into two bags for Victor.When they came out, Justin was still standing beside the electric scooter.Victor ignored him, got on the electric scooter,

    So much money was laid out before them that it made their eyes blur."Where did you get this money? Did you beg for it or something?" Lena was so startled that she couldn't stay seated.Sophie was equally shocked. After checking the bills, she confirmed they were real."Victor, be honest. Where did all this money come from?" Sophie's expression was stern as she looked at Victor."It's all mine," Victor muttered.Hearing that, Lena burst out laughing. "Quit joking! Your money? Besides the thirty thousand you got from the Jensens for marrying in and the monthly allowance Sophie gives you, where else would you have money from?"Victor replied honestly, "I still have twenty billion."He was telling the truth. His card did indeed hold a balance of twenty billion, but Lena and Sophie didn't believe him."Twenty billion? You really think you're some big shot, huh?" Lena sneered and looked at Victor with disdain. "If you really had twenty billion, I'd strip down on the spot and let you

    "This loser fights better than I thought," Philip cursed in frustration. Not only had he failed to hurt Victor, but he was the one getting beaten instead.The others felt the same way. They had all been overwhelmed by Victor and were too scared to make another move.Sophie covered her mouth in shock. She had never seen Victor fight before, and now that he had, his skills were nothing short of astounding.A dozen men couldn't stop him, yet he had left them battered and bruised, their faces swollen and bloodied.She couldn't help but wonder—when did Victor learn to fight? She had never seen him display any skills like this before.Victor had taken a few hits due to the surprise attack earlier, but compared to the others, his injuries were minor."You're crazy!" Steve resorted to insults, knowing he couldn't win in a fight.Victor turned to look at him and said, "Even without your help, I can still pull the company out of this crisis."Although Philip and the others had been beate

    Over the past few years, they had all heard that Victor hadn't even touched Sophie's hand. This only made them feel that they had a chance."All right, I'll be honest. I just want your body," Steve said with a wicked grin. "As long as you agree to spend a night with me, I'll agree to the deal. If you perform well, I might even make you my girlfriend.""Keep dreaming!" Sophie spat. She clenched her jaw, her body trembling with rage. This guy was a complete degenerate, pushing his limits more and more."You don't get a say in this," Steve said nonchalantly, spreading his hands. "If you don't agree, then you're not leaving this place today."He had leverage over Sophie. No matter how excessive his demands were, she wouldn't dare refuse him."Ms. Jensen, for the sake of the company, why not sacrifice a little?""Yeah, besides, Mr. Carter is a much better man than that loser.""If you two joined forces, you'd make a perfect match."Philip had already been bought over by Steve, and o

    "Damn it! How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?" Steve's eyes burned with rage as he roared hysterically.No one had ever laid a hand on him. Yet today, he had been punched by a worthless nobody. He couldn't swallow this humiliation.Sophie didn't even know what to say to Victor. As much as she disliked Steve, he was the only one who could help her. But now, Victor had completely ruined everything."Apologize to him." She shot Victor a glare. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collaboration, and she couldn't let him mess it up.Victor had already apologized once. He had no intention of apologizing a second time, especially not to someone like Steve.Steve had openly threatened to sleep with his wife in front of him. If Victor backed down now, it would be the same as accepting it. That was the one thing he could never tolerate.Philip and the others helped Steve up. Steve sneered. "No need for an apology. There's nothing left to discuss."Philip and the othe

    Philip and the others couldn't hold back anymore. The more Steve took, the less they would get. It was as if their share of the pie was being eaten away.They didn't dare lash out at Steve, but venting their anger on a worthless nobody was easy enough. If it weren't for Victor, none of this would be happening.Sophie frowned. Steve demanding a stake in the company wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it was far from trivial. He was obviously setting her up.If he decided to stop cooperating one day, she'd find herself in the same situation again, with Steve demanding even more. That was what worried her the most."Even without me here, do you really think he would have made it that simple?" Victor asked.He was just stating the truth. Even if he hadn't argued with Steve, Steve would have found another way to tighten the noose. It was only a matter of time."It doesn't matter. This is still your fault." Philip and the others glared at him, their voices harsh with resentment.

    Sophie was furious. When things were going well, these people rushed to claim credit, but when trouble arose, they left her to deal with it alone.Still, to save the company, she had no other choice.She hesitated for a moment. It was just a meal and nothing too serious. Besides, if she didn't resolve this crisis soon, the consequences would be far worse.Although she loathed Steve for taking advantage of the situation, she had no choice but to take things one step at a time. She cast an apologetic glance at Victor, about to agree."Wait." Victor suddenly spoke up."What do you think you're doing? You worthless nobody, do you think your opinion matters?" Steve shot Victor a look of disdain. To him, Victor was utterly insignificant."Mr. Carter is certainly being generous, all this just for a meal," Victor said, his tone laced with sarcasm.Steve sneered. "What? You're unhappy about it?""Not at all," Victor replied casually. "But don't you think you're exploiting the situation
