Chapter 3: The Billionaire is My Servant
807 Words
After giving Flores a check for $10 million, Andrew turned around and left.
"Langel Ykre City...the most developed city！ Could it be Andrew Cooper, the head of the first family of Langel Ykre City!"
"It's him! I've seen him on TV!"
"Oh my gosh! I did not expect Andrew to come to the Wilson Group's party. No other companies in Sebria could have such an honor!"
Everyone in Wilson Villa was in shock.
Ethan loudly said, "Stop talking nonsense! Andrew is such a big shot, while Flores is a loser. How can they be good friends? Flores, tell us the truth! Where did you hire the actor to pretend to be Andrew? Do you know the Wilson Group will get in big trouble if you offend the Cooper family?" He would never believe the loser had anything to do with the most powerful family in Langel Ykre City!
Everyone instantly turned to look at Flores, including Stella. Her beautiful eyes were full of surprise. Flores had been kicked out of the Wilson family. How could he connect with the wealthiest man in Langel Ykre City within less than half an hour?
Flores aggressively retorted, "It is OK that you suspect he is an imposter. But can't you see the check for $10 million? Are you blind?" As the King of Malia Palace, almost half the world's wealthiest men were his servants. Andrew was inconspicuous among them. He temporarily served as Flores's liaison between Sebria and Malia Palace.
Ethan rushed forward and grabbed the check, saying, "Bah! Don't bullsh*t me! I know it's a fake check!" When he was about to tear it, Ladyship Wilson hit the cane to the ground, saying, "Stop!"
Then, she reached out to take the check from Ethan and carefully examined it.
As the head of the Wilson family and the president of the Wilson Group, she could tell whether a check was fake or not by eyes.
After a long time,
she took a deep breath and said, "This check is real! I have the honor to meet Mr. Cooper at a cocktail party before. The man just now is him! Stella, well done!" Ladyship Wilson gave Stella a rare smile. As far as Ladyship Wilson knew, Flores could not invite such a big shot to their party.
"Grandma..." When Stella was about to explain that Flores should take the credit, he stopped her and smiled, "There is no need to explain." It did not matter what others thought of him. He had done it to make his wife happy.
Stella looked at Flores in confusion. She somehow felt there was something different about him today.
The party lasted until late at night.
***
Late at night, at the Wilson Villa.
Ladyship Wilson sat in the main seat of Wilson Villa and solemnly said, "Today's party was successful. Ethan and Stella, you both did a good job! However, everyone should know although we got 30 million dollars tonight, we need another 100 million to get through our current crisis."
The members of the Wilson family all looked worried. Some of them couldn't help sighing softly. The Wilson Group had heavily invested in the Century Garden project. Nearly two-thirds of the construction had been completed. But it had failed to pass the quality inspection. It meant the 500 million dollars investment might go down the drain! The only way to save the Wilson Group was to inject much money to revitalize their assets.
Ladyship Wilson rubbed her forehead and asked deeply, "Who can get more investments or loans?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads with wry smiles. More investments? They had used all their connections tonight. As for loans, most people in the Wilson family only wanted to get dividends every year. So, they were unwilling to let the company have huge liabilities.
Seeing everyone keep silent, Ladyship instantly got angry. She said, "Why? You are proactive when you get the dividends. But what it is now? We are in big trouble. You only got 30 million dollars tonight and want me to believe you've tried your best?"
Ethan comforted her, saying, "Grandma, please calm down. Your health is the most important. I will figure out a way!" After he quickly glanced around, his gaze fell on Stella.
He looked at her mockingly and said, "Stella is capable. She knows the head of the Cooper family. Maybe she can solve our financial problem!"
"Yeah! Stella knows Andrew! He is a big shot!"
"200 or 300 million dollars is a small amount to him!"
"Stella, the Wilson family has treated you well. It's time for you to repay!"
After hearing Ethan's words, everyone seemed to have gotten a straw to clutch at and couldn't wait to persuade Stella.
After silence, Ladyship Wilson expectantly asked, "Stella, can you do it?"
