Chapter 544


    keughed and said, “I can’t tell you too much about this either. All you have to know is that the


    Capital City rke Group is now no more than a toothless tiger.”


    His words assured the rest of the board.


    At the same time, Houston received a call that sent him bawling withughter.


    “Did something good happen, Houston?” asked ke.

    “Dad, my nt in thepany just told me that the stupid Johnston b*tch went out to meet a new


    investor! What a joke! Who would dare to invest in Beacon now?”


    Houstonughed, full of contempt.


    ke nodded. “She’s probably just putting on a show. There’s no need to worry. Beacon’s doom is


    assured!”


    Everyone raised their sses in premature celebration.


    As long as there was money to be earned, they did not care whosepany they worked under.


    Meanwhile, Wynn was going to meet a new investor today, someone Philip introduced.


    She was skeptical at first too, but since her husband rmended him, she was willing to meet him at


    least once.


    Soon, Wynn arrived at the agreed meeting spot and met her potential investor. He had a hot blonde


    woman standing next to him too.


    “Oh, my dearest Miss Johnston! I’m so d to finally meet you.”


    Buffer did not dare to treat Wynn with the slightest hint of disrespect. After all, she was Mr. Philip’s wife.


    Wynn was pretty surprised to see that the man Philip rmended was a foreigner.


    Since when did Philip have foreign friends?


    The man looked like he was in his fifties or sixties too.


    “Nice to meet you, Mr. Buffer. I’m the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical,” Wynn said with a smile,


    not a single gesture out of ce.


    Buffer nced at his sexy secretary, and thetter very sensibly made them two cups of coffee before


    quietly taking her ce behind Buffer.


    “I looked into yourpany’s situation, Miss Johnston. Right now, you need about three billion in


    funds.”


    Buffer went straight to the point.


    Wynn nodded. “That’s right, Mr. Buffer. Beacon is indeed in need of funds right now, but please believe


    me, as long as we can survive this crisis, our future will be every bit as bright as the top 500


    pharmaceuticalpanies in the world. You should be well aware of Beacon’s current value in


    Riverdale. Our market is worth tens of billions.”


    Buffer nodded and admitted, “That’s right, Miss Johnston. I must admit that Beacon has unlimited


    potential in the market, but three billion is no small sum.”


    Wynn grew nervous. Could Buffer not afford that amount?


    Well, there was no helping it then. After all, she did not put all her hopes on him either.


    All of a sudden…


    “Nevertheless, I’ll invest that amount in yourpany, Miss Johnston, as a favor to Mr. rke,” Buffer


    said.


    As a favor to her husband?


    Wynn was stunned. Did she just win a three-billion-dor investment? Just like that?


    That took no time at all!


    Wynn had not really expected too much from this friend of Philip’s, but now it seemed like she had


    clearly underestimated Philip’s connections.


    His friend had so casually agreed to an investment of three billion dors!


    His ess to his family’s resources had been cut off, right?


    Wynn was shocked beyond words. There was no way to describe it.


    It seemed as though her husband was not merely the young master of the rke estate either.


    Was that his true identity? The young heir to the Capital City rke Group?


    She had been married to him for three years now, but she never really knew who he was. At first, she


    had just thought he was a perfectly average man.


    All these recent events, however, opened her eyes to the fact that her husband was probably far more


    than what she saw on the surface.


    “Have you really decided to invest in us, Mr. Buffer?” Wynn asked in surprise.


    “Of course. The funds will reach you soon enough, Miss Johnston. Don’t worry about it.”
