Penny frowned as she asked, “You’re really here to invest in our company?”

Samuel chuckled as he replied, “Of course! What else could we possibly be here for?”

Still suspicious, her tone was wary as she questioned, “How much are you planning on investing andwhat are the conditions?”

A booming laugh escaped the man’s lips. “I’ve always liked doing business with people asstraightforward as you. Not a moment is wasted.”

“I’ve done my research on your company. You want to complete the shopping mall project at Asiatic.Taking into account the advance payment and other expenditures, you will need at least five hundredmillion. You should know that five hundred million is not exactly a small number, but neither is it anamount that the Smith family can’t afford.”

Penny was visibly taken aback at his words. “You want to invest five hundred million in us?”

Samuel grinned. “Yup.”

Five hundred million was exactly the amount that Cross Corporation had needed for the project. IfSamuel really was serious about investing in them now, it would be some much-needed funds.

However, she knew that the Smiths would never be so kind as to help her in her hours of need.

Staring at him, she spoke her next words carefully, “How very generous of you, Mr. Smith. But maybewe should discuss your terms first; I’m worried that I might not be able to accept them.”

“Smart girl. My terms are simple. I want ninety percent of the profits and all of your staff in the FinanceDepartment to be replaced with mine.”

Glaring at him furiously, she spat, “That’s just ridiculous!”

The man’s reply was calm, “I’m leaving you ten percent of the profits, aren’t I?”

Miles chose that moment to speak up, with a sneer on his face, “Penny, you really should take a look atthe situation you’re in right now. Without our investment, completing this project would be a moot point,as your company will probably go bankrupt before then.”

May chimed in as well, “Exactly! We’re trying to help you; don’t be so ungrateful!”

Their words had rendered Penny speechless.

Unfortunately, they were not wrong. She had to admit the cold, hard truth to herself - her company wasin dire straits.

Without their money, she really could not continue with this project as the expenses were just too high.There was also the fact that this project was one of the most important development projects in the city.If there was a delay or if they had messed up the construction, the consequences would be terrible.

Be that as it may, the terms the Smiths were asking for were just too demanding. Ninety percent of theprofits was a lot. If she were to agree, the Cross Corporation would have done all that work for barelyanything in return. They would practically have conducted free labor.

Taking in a deep breath, she sighed, “Mr. Smith, your terms are too harsh. I can’t accept you takingninety percent of the profits.”

“If you were to invest five hundred million in us, the most that I could give you is sixty percent of theprofits.”

Samuel crooked a finger at one of the men behind him, not bothering to turn his head. The underlingquickly pulled out a contract from the briefcase he had carried, before handing it over to his boss.

Like he was throwing money at a beggar, Samuel flung the contract on the floor before Nathan andPenny’s feet. His voice was calm as he uttered, “If you sign the contract now, I can still leave you tenpercent. However, if you insist on being stubborn, without signing it today, I’ll only give you five percenttomorrow.”

“I know that you’ve already failed to replace anyone willing to invest in you and your loan request wasrejected. In the entire city of Channing, only I am willing to save you now.”

“The choice is yours.”
