I sighed heavily after hanging up the phone.
Knowing that Johnathan was the biggest investor, I really didn’t want to get involved in this matter.
But there was no way, my dad owed him twenty million.
He lent my dad twenty million so generously, and now that he needs help and is humbly asking me, how can I possibly refuse?
And he said, if the negotiation is successful, then the twenty million. can be offset.
So, in the situation where I didn’t have the ability to repay the money, I could only do my best to help him secure this investment.
The investment negotiation meeting was scheduled for 7 o’clock in the evening at Citrus Hotel.
I had already changed into professional attire and made all the preparations by around five o’clock.
At six o’clock, Winston and Anton set off with me.
This negotiation meeting, both Winston and Anton were present, indicating that they really valued this project.
The assistant drove the car, while Anton sat in the passenger seat.
Winston and I sat in the back.
Winston looked at me and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ralda, but

this time I need to use your connections to help me.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me, it was actually me and my dad. who owed you.”
I paused for a moment and then said, “However, I’m not really familiar with Johnathan, so I can’t be 100% sure that I can help you get his
investment.”
“It’s okay, just do your best,” Winston smiled and patted my shoulder, his eyes and brows as gentle as ever.
I glanced at him, turned my head to look out the window, and felt a bit complicated and disturbed in my heart.
Johnathan seemed carefree and jovial, but he was actually very difficult
to talk to.
And Johnathan used to always enjoy provoking Reynaldo.
Ah, later I can only find an opportunity to talk to Johnathan and ask him not to tell Reynaldo about this.
As I was thinking, I suddenly saw a figure reflected on the car window.
It seemed like Anton was looking at me.
I instinctively turned my head and coincidentally met Anton’s gaze.
My heart skipped a beat, and I rushed to ask him, “Mr. Pruitt, what’s wrong?”
Anton smirked and said, “It’s nothing.”
At first, I thought he was not only handsome but also had a gentle and refined temperament.

But at that moment, as I looked at him, I couldn’t help but feel that he was smiling somewhat mischievously.
From the day he asked me if I was pregnant, I felt that there was something strange in the way he looked at me.
Anton turned his head away, and I looked at his profile, feeling somewhat puzzled.
We quickly arrived at the Citrus Hotel.
The private room that Winston reserved was on the third floor.
When we arrived, the investors had not arrived yet.
Winston said that they had invited a total of 10 investors, but in the end, only 3 agreed to come.
The most powerful figure in terms of financial influence was Johnathan.
In other words, as long as Johnathan’s investment was secured, this project could proceed steadily.
Johnathan.
Ah, thinking back to the times I was deceived by him before, I feel a bit frightened.
But this time, we were discussing investment and cooperation seriously, so he shouldn’t be joking with me anymore.
Just as I was thinking, two investors came together.
The three of us quickly stood up and greeted them, inviting them to take a seat.

When I arrived, Winston told me that there were three investors,
besides Johnathan, the other two were Mr. Schultz from a consortium company and Mr. Esparza from a listed company.
The fat one is Mr. Schultz, and the thinner one is Mr. Esparza.
After the two of them entered, they looked around the private room and asked Winston, “Why hasn’t Mr. Dunlap arrived yet?”
Winston looked at the time and smiled, “It’s almost time, we should be
on our way.‘
Mr. Schultz frowned impatiently and said to Mr. Esparza, “If only we had known, we would have come later too.”
“Well, we should learn from Mr. Dunlap and tread carefully, otherwise some people might think we attach great importance to this project.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Listening to the conversation between the two people, Winston’s expression changed slightly, showing some displeasure.
I shook my head at him and quickly got up to pour them tea, saying, “Hello, Mr. Schultz and Mr. Esparza.”
They ignored me and instead sneered at Winston, saying, “Mr. Humphrey, to be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that you are Mr. Humphrey’s brother, we wouldn’t have wanted to come on this trip.”
