The Dark King: the Wealthiest Man in the Country

Chapter 9: Earn 100 Million

"I don't think we need to wait any longer, it's a waste of time!"

"If Stella can bring in money, I'll eat my hat!"

"Ethan, you're still too kind! What's the use of giving her a chance? Useless people have no hopes!"

The peripheral members of the Wilson family chimed in one after another, trying to please Ethan.

"Quiet down! No need to wait. Ethan, just tell everyone about your accomplishments!" Ladyship Wilson said impatiently with her eyes half-closed. She had never held any hope for Stella. Agreeing to their bet was merely a pretext to secure Ethan's position as heir.

"Yes, Grandma!" Ethan suppressed his excitement. He knew the game was won!

"Everyone, look, this morning Mr. Hill personally delivered this contract to me! Matte Mala Inc. has signed and sealed it! The loan amount is 100 million!" Ethan took out a contract from his briefcase and respectfully handed it to Ladyship Wilson.

"100 million?! Ethan, you're truly amazing!"

"You're the best! Wilson Group is saved!"

"Yeah! Thinking back, it's really laughable how Stella thought she could compete with Ethan!"

As soon as everyone heard that Ethan had secured a 100-million investment, they were ecstatic.

"Well done!" Ladyship Wilson smiled and looked at the contract, excitedly repeating "well done" three times. With this investment, Wilson Group was saved!

"Ethan's contributions are obvious to everyone. Now, I announce that the next heir of Wilson Group will be..." Ladyship Wilson surveyed the room, loudly announcing.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" Ethan clenched his fists, his body trembling with excitement.

"Hold on!" Just then, a voice sounded from the doorway, it was Flores!

"You useless waste! What qualifications do you have to attend this meeting? Get out of here!" Ethan was so angry. He was just about to be declared the heir!

"Oh? Then do I have qualifications?" Ethan, don't forget our bet! Now I'm not even here yet, and you're eager to announce the result. Are you afraid?" Stella followed Flores in, unceremoniously questioning Ethan. She had already won this bet!

"Oh, who do we have here? Turns out it's the coward Stella. I thought you'd be hiding in your room forever!" Ethan sneered. He was confident that Stella had not been able to secure any investment in just half an hour at Global Investment and no visits to any banks, not a chance!

"Oh? What if I told you I already secured an investment?" Stella looked at Ethan playfully, a sly smile on her lips. She couldn't wait to see Ethan's expression after he found out the result!

"Impossible!" Ethan denied categorically. How could she have get the money with just 30 minutes in Global Investment? Unless pigs could fly!

"Stella, stop playing around! Ethan managed to secure a 100-million-dollar loan this time! The contract has been signed!"

"Even if you really secured 50 million, so what? Can it compare to 100 million?"

"I think you'd better apologize to Ethan right away and let him arrange a position for you in the company!"

Everyone chimed in with mockery and sarcasm towards Stella, afraid of offending Ethan if they missed the chance.

"Wait a minute, Ethan. Yesterday, you swore that if my wife secured fifty million in investment, even if she won, how about it? Changing your tune now? And, whether or not my wife secured investment, isn't it clear from the contract she's holding? Do you all lack the courage to even take a look?" Flores couldn't stand the vulgar faces of the people around him and couldn't help but speak up.

"You! You trash! What right do you have to speak?!" Ethan felt something was off seeing Stella and Flores so calm. Could something have gone wrong?

"Grandma, please take a look!" Stella glanced at Ethan and handed the contract to Ladyship Wilson. Just one look at the contract, and everything would be clear!

"Stella, did you really get at least fifty million?" Ladyship Wilson slowly took the contract, but instead of immediately opening it, she looked up at Stella and asked.

"Yes, Grandma!" Stella nodded excitedly. 'Once Grandma sees that it's not just fifty million, but five hundred million, she'll surely look at me with newfound respect!'

"Oh!" Ladyship Wilson's eyes twinkled, but she set the contract aside without a word. She stroked her cane. "Stella, you've done well. From today onwards, We will take special care of your family! Also, I hope you can be content with what you have!" Ladyship Wilson said calmly, with a hint of warning in her tone.

"Grandma..." Stella's heart suddenly sank heavily. She never expected Grandma's favoritism to be this extreme, not even bothering to glance at the contract! It was a five-hundred-million-dollar investment! Her hard work and effort only brought her 'be content'? Why should she be content!

"Hahaha! Stella, don't you see the situation? Do you have to force Grandma to be so definitive? Your fifty million investment, can it save the Wilson family? Compared to mine, it's nothing! Besides, I am the eldest grandson of the Wilson family. What qualifications do you have to compete with me for the position of heir?!" Ethan looked down on Stella and Flores, his voice low.

"Wife, I think we should leave. These people are fools. Five hundred million is worth more than fifty million! With the money, we can go out and do some business, hmm, let's earn ourselves another 100 million!" Flores looked at Ethan as if he were an i***t, then at Ladyship Wilson. One hand held the tearful Stella, the other reached across the table to grab the contract.

"Hold it!" Ladyship Wilson dropped her cane, grabbing Flores's hand tightly, her eyes gleaming with desire, "What did you say?! 500 million?!"

"Yes! 500 million! And it's not a loan, it's an investment with no interest!" Flores slowly withdrew his hand, his goal achieved.

The only sound in the silent hall was the swallowing of saliva. 500 million! Enough to invest in another Century Garden project!

"Let me see!" Ladyship Wilson quickly picked up the contract again, carefully examining it page by page. The more she looked, the redder her face became. Especially seeing that Global Investment had already signed and sealed it, her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest!
