Valeria was unhappy. “What are you up to? Abbie is extremely anxious right now and she absolutely despises Leonard. Why do you want her to marry him?”
“Honey, don’t worry, I haven’t finished my explanation yet. I just asked Abbie to agree to the proposal, but I didn’t ask her to marry Leonard, right?”
“You want Abie to pretend to agree first and think of a solution after that?”
“That’s right, you’re so smart!” William nodded. “You can ask Abbie to agree to Leonard’s proposal, but she needs to lay out a few conditions.”
“What are the conditions?” Valeria asked.
William smiled and said, “She has to ask for something that Leonard can’t complete in a short period of time and you need to ask Helen to bring it up. After all, wouldn’t it make more sense to be a parent to make decisions for the sake of their daughter’s happiness?”
Obviously, Helen was unwilling to let Abbie marry Leonard. If Helen made an excessive request, Leonard would definitely have no choice but to persuade Helen.
Valeria felt that Helen wouldn’t agree to make things difficult for Leonard because of her character. “Helen shouldn’t be willing to do such a thing.”
“I know that she won’t, so I need you to convince her. Meet Helen and discuss with her the requests she should make to Leonard to ensure her daughter’s happiness. By the way, this matter will be divided into two steps. Ask Abbie to agree with Leonard’s proposal first, so he’ll meet up with her parents. When the time comes, ask Helen to request something almost impossible from Leonard. Do you understand?”
Valeria understood what William meant. “I got it. I’m going to discuss it with Abbie.”
In the afternoon, Abbie went to visit Emma and played with her for a few hours. She then left at nine o’clock at night when Emma fell asleep.
Leonard sent Abbie back as usual. After she got out of the car, she suddenly turned her head and asked Leonard, “I want to take Emma home to see my parents. Is that okay?”
“No! You can’t do it before you promise me, but I can consider it after that.”
Abbie did not say anything else and turned to enter the villa. The assistant was a little worried when he saw Abbie’s retreating figure. “Mr. Floyd, isn’t it too unreasonable for you to do this?”
“Of course not. Her desire to be with her child is getting stronger now. I just need to force her to make up her mind to agree to my request as soon as possible.”
“Will it backfire? It will be terrible if she tells the Clark family about the child.”
“No, I’m confident! It’s been so long. If she wanted to tell her family about this, she wouldn’t have waited until now. Didn’t you realize that she doesn’t quite trust her family after losing her memory?”
“That’s true. He trusts you more than her family right now. Could it be because of that medicine?”
“There must be some connections. I originally wanted to cast a bigger bait, but we can’t afford to wait any longer and I have to finish this as soon as possible. After all, there are still things to do.”
Michael went to the detention centre twice after he became Evelyn’s lawyer. She only knew how to cry and sob when she saw Michael. She didn’t cooperate with him at all, so it was difficult for him to communicate with her.
Michael brought a recording pen and reported the results of his meeting with Evelyn to Francis.
Francis was furious when he heard Evelyn’s cries and curses. “This wench, does she have a death wish?”
“She doesn’t trust me. It seems that you’re the only one that can meet her. I have to tell you first that it would be very unfavourable for her if she continues to treat me like this.”
Francis certainly knew the consequences. “I’m sorry that I have to trouble you with this.”
“It’s not a big deal, It’s a piece of cake for me.” Michael didn’t take it seriously.
Francis was very satisfied with Michael. “Michael, I have asked the finance department to transfer the money that you asked for that day. Have you received it?”
“Yes, I’ve already started running the business.” Michael smiled and said, “I came to you today not only to talk about Evelyn, but also about your benefits.”
Michael took out his computer and opened it for Francis to see the profits. Francis’ eyes flashed with astonishment when he saw that he had earned 30 percent in profits. “You earned so much?”
“Yes, I could double my funds in half a month when the market was at its best.” Michael smiled and said, “I’ll try my best to double your investments as soon as possible.”
Francis had only invested his funds to please Michael. Now that he saw that he could really make money, he began to weigh the risks in his heart.
Should he invest more? He knew very well that Michael was doing some risky business.
However, risks and benefits were directly related. He didn’t plan on investing it long term, and he just wanted to make quick progress. If he could make a profit according to the current profit, the money he could earn was astronomical.
Francis thought that this was feasible, so he immediately said to Michael, “I can add another billion dollars to the investment fund, but I won’t keep it there for long.”
“No problem, I don’t intend to do it for a long time. It’s best to buy and sell it quickly. I’m worried about the risks in the long run.” Michael continued, “When will your funds be transferred? It’s best if it’s during these few days because. I think we can make a profit.”
“I’ll ask the finance department to check it out in the afternoon, but it will take some time to get so much money.”
Michael called William after leaving the Gurney family. “The old b*stard is tempted now, and he promised to add another billion.”
“That’s a good thing, so let’s give him some profit first,” William said with a smile.
“How much do you plan to give?”
“You’ll have to place an irresistible bait to trap him. After he transfers the funds, you can give him 40 per cent of profits after a week.”
“Are you sure?” Michael smacked his lips.
“He’ll be more willing to give more money if we give him high profits, right?”
“You’re right. I’m still worried that that old b*stard will stop investing after he gets the profit. If so, you’ll lose a billion dollars. Please think about it carefully.”
“I’ve thought it through very clearly. Don’t worry, just do it. Even if something goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility for it.”
William had a well-thought-out plan, so Michael didn’t try to persuade him. Instead, he asked about Abbie, “What’s going on with Abbie? I heard that Leonard, that b*stard, gave her a diamond and rented out a whole restaurant. Is Abbie really going to marry him?”
“You don’t have to worry about this matter, I know what I’m doing. As for you, aren’t you going to marry Azalea? In order to reassure Francis, you have to put on a believable act. Why don’t you have a meal with Azalea or watch a movie with her?”
“Really? Do I really need to do this?”
“Otherwise, how can you convince others that you want to marry Azalea? Francis isn’t a fool. You have to put on a show if you want to convince him, so you’d better do as I say.”
Michael complained for a moment, but he knew that William was telling the truth. “Alright, I’ll have dinner with that b*tch and let her enjoy a night of pleasure!”
