Someone else might have been moved by Bran Cook.

For a woman he just met, he was even willing to abandon a friend of many years.

Such grand love.

The perfect man.

But Quella Radcliffe just watched all this with a cold eye, seeing it as nothing but a performance.

Even Hampton Ridge and Flower Falls beside her were so infatuated that they ogled Bran Cook like love-struck fools.

“Sully Cook, you’re a real man! If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re out of my league, I’d really want to be your lover,”

Flower Falls supported her chin with both hands, looking at Bran Cook dreamily.

“I wonder if Bran Cook has someone he likes? If so, that person must be very lucky,” Hampton Ridge echoed the sentiment.

With a reward of millions on the line, they would definitely spare no effort to help.

If they actually got that money, they could buy many designer bags, travel abroad, and show off on their social media.

All women are vain, but sometimes their strength does not support their ambitions.

“Of course, I have someone I like, it’s just that…”

Bran Cook’s face showed difficulty as he spoke.

“What’s wrong, Bran Cook?” Hampton Ridge quickly asked.

“Before I went abroad, my family had arranged a marriage for me. I really liked her, and to be honest, it was the first time I felt so moved by a woman. Unfortunately, before my family could make a formal proposal, I learned that she had already married. I was so disheartened that I decided to go overseas,” Bran Cook said, his face full of regret.

And the expression on his face seemed like he had lost the will to live.

“It’s hard to believe that Bran Cook is such a devoted man! But what happened afterward? What happened to the girl?” enthralled, Hampton Ridge listened, envy on her face, “To have such a man like Bran Cook adore her like that, she would die with no regrets.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Yeah! If she knew Bran Cook liked her, she would surely have turned down that marriage proposal and chosen to be with Bran instead!” Flower Falls nodded vehemently, agreeing with Hampton Ridge’s statement.

“That’s an exaggeration. At that time, I was just an ordinary person. During my years abroad, I kept on thinking, maybe she got divorced?”

Bran Cook looked into the distance, deep in thought, “When I finished my studies, I chose to start a business in the capital, just to prove myself. And when I returned to Gonzalez City, that’s when I found out she had, indeed, gotten divorced! Do you know how excited I was then?”

“Bran Cook, it’s just like something out of a novel, it’s fate!”

Flower Falls was equally excited, but then she seemed a bit disheartened.

“I’m so envious of that girl!”

Her demeanor was exactly that of a girl upset over losing something she cherished.

“Since that’s the case, Bran Cook, don’t miss your chance again! Go ahead and confess your feelings boldly; what if that girl likes you too?” Hampton Ridge chimed in from the side.

The two of them actually knew the script well and were simply playing along with Bran Cook’s act.

After all, those hundreds of thousands weren’t going to be easy to come by.

“Exactly! So I’ve decided, this time I want to take control of my own happiness,” Bran Cook stood up, a relaxed expression on his face, “What does money mean to me? It can’t buy joy, it can’t buy happiness! Everything I want, I can’t have!”

Having said that, he turned to look at Quella Radcliffe, “Miss Radcliffe, if it were you, what would you do?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Faced with this question, Quella Radcliffe let out a cold laugh. As expected, it had all come down to this last question, hadn’t it?

She had known about the marriage proposal from the start.

Old Master Radcliffe wasn’t very satisfied with the Cook Family; he wanted Quella Radcliffe to marry someone better, preferably someone from Five-river Province.

Back then, in Gonzalez City, Quella Radcliffe was famous. Many people liked this beautiful girl with strong abilities.

The Cook Family was not a prominent clan at the time, and like Radcliffe Group, it was merely considered second-tier.

At that time, Bran Cook didn’t stand out at all. How could he be as dazzling as he is now?

As soon as Bran Cook started speaking, Quella Radcliffe knew what he was going to say.

But when you’re under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head. If Bran Cook was just interacting like a friend, then Quella Radcliffe would owe him a favor, which she would repay with interest once the company recovered.

But if Bran Cook had any improper thoughts, she would turn around and leave immediately.

“I think, let nature take its course, since we missed the chance in the past, isn’t it also a kind of fate? There’s no point in pursuing what’s been missed.”

Quella Radcliffe said with a faint smile, but the faces of Flower Falls and Hampton Ridge beside her froze.

They clearly understood what this meant.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Quella Radcliffe had rejected him, decisively rejected him.

It wasn’t even a gentle refusal; there was simply no opportunity given.

But they had to pretend they didn’t know, otherwise they would give themselves away.

“Miss Radcliffe is right, but I think it’s always worth a try to see if we’re suitable. Otherwise, wouldn’t it become a major regret in life?” Bran Cook remained very gentlemanly, not seeming to care much even after being rejected.

Women, they all love vanity, they all like money.

Although Bran Cook was somewhat disappointed upon learning that Quella Radcliffe had become the chairman of the Radcliffe Group.

After all, a female CEO certainly wouldn’t lack money, which meant the success rate of his plan would be much lower.

But what made him feel fortunate was that despite Radcliffe Group’s initially rosy situation, it suddenly found itself deeply indebted.

With the New Year approaching, they’d even failed to pay the staff’s wages for a month.

Things inside the group were very unstable, and there were faintly emerging voices of discontent.

And Bran Cook, he had money!

His family was wealthy, and he himself had billions at his disposal, more than enough to solve Quella Radcliffe’s urgent problems.

The current state of Radcliffe Group, though the scale was large, had seen its market value plummet during this crisis, even dropping below five billion.

For Bran Cook, buying the company now would not be difficult.

So, he was not concerned about Quella Radcliffe’s rejection.

As long as he had money, he was confident he could make Quella Radcliffe climb into his bed and spread her legs willingly.

“I heard from your classmate that the Radcliffe Group has encountered some financial issues recently?”

Finally, he began to discuss the main issue straightforwardly.

“Indeed, the group has encountered some internal issues, and our capital chain is temporarily broken. It’s causing some liquidity issues.” Quella Radcliffe nodded, as she was here to borrow money, she was somewhat prepared mentally.

It’s inevitable to ask for help in situations like this. Now that banks are not granting loans, if she could get a sum of money, she would prefer to ask someone for it.

“How much do you need? We’re all entrepreneurs here, and I fully understand it hasn’t been easy for you. For a young woman to shoulder such a big company, and to face such serious problems without being knocked down, is already quite commendable,” Bran Cook continued to praise Quella Radcliffe without forgetting.

At such a time, it’s always good to leave a positive impression, to bridge the gap between the two.

“Around three billion,”

Quella Radcliffe sighed, “In no more than three months, I will repay you the principal with interest. Recently, things have been quite difficult, as for the interest…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Three billion, that’s quite a large sum!”

Bran Cook cut off Quella Radcliffe, leaning back in his chair to ponder.

He was actually worried about lending too little. The more money, the greater his odds of success.

Without this money, Radcliffe Group only faced a dead end!
