Chapter 143


    Ivan smiled coldly. "Selena, you''re too naive. He’s supposed to kowtow to me and be chased out of


    Taylor family if he can''te up with the sum of money. By then, he wouldn’t be your husband and


    wouldn''t have anything to do with us. I’ll get someone t o beat him up and I''ll do as I please."


    Ivan paused before he continued, "I know that you''re softhearted and you''d definitely feel bad for him. I


    do have a suggestion for this. If you sign the contract with me, I’d void the ten millionpensation, I


    can even give you twenty million to help Fane pay the ten million betrothal gift. The remaining ten


    million is for him to buy the old master a present for the Taylor’s to ept him."


    The offer that Ivan made was really attractive and Selena was tempted.


    However, she shook her head. "No way, I can''t promise you this. I can''t do this as a member of the


    Drake Group''s Procurement Department. If Miss Tanya knows about this bribe, she would be


    disappointed. I can’t betray her trust in me and Fane!"


    "Haha, cousin, are you stupid? Why''re you still acting noble at this moment? You have to understand,


    the money I give you can provide you and your husband a good life. It’d also help Fane obtain the


    Taylor family’s recognition!


    "If you guys can’te up with thirty million within the next twenty days, Fane will have to get out of


    the Taylor family and your parents will refuse to admit this son-inw who married into your family."


    Ivan smiled. "I''m afraid that only idiots will make a decision like this!"


    "Don''t you worry. Fane already said that he''ll settle this before the old master’s birthday and I trust him!


    Besides, he''s Drake family''s bodyguard and takes a monthly sry of 20 million. My mum had also


    be nicer to him, so you don''t have to worry!"


    Selena was still very firm with her stance. "As a person, we must have a bottom line. I''venguished


    through these five years of hardship and now that Fane has returned, my child has a father. Both Fane


    and I have jobs and I believe that our life will get better!"


    "Don''t... Don''t you want to get the recognition of the old master, father, and the rest of the Taylor


    family?"


    Disbelief was written all over Ivan''s face. In his opinion, Selena had really made a very stupid decision.

    "You have to know that you can make use of your current upation to get Taylor''s recognition. You


    can be rich and live a good life. Why would you reject this life-changing offer? The old master will be


    unhappy if you do this!"


    Selena was silent momentarily and said, "I believe that the old master will support my choice. He’s


    currently blinded by his desire to be a second-ss aristocratic family. I believe that he''ll


    understand that my choice is the correct one in the long run. I need to have achievements in the Drake


    Group and build Drake''s trust in me. I believe that there''ll be other opportunities for us and the Taylor


    family to work together!"


    Selena paused here and continued seriously, "Cousin, there''s a saying, haste will ruin everything. Even


    if the Taylor family has high quality construction materials, are you sure that we can handle such a big


    project? Besides, this is only my second day working here.


    What would outsiders think if I sign the contract with the Taylor’s so quickly? All eyes are on me now!"


    Ivan agreed with Selena. However, in order for him to sign this big project and stabilize his position in


    the old master’s heart, he smiled. "Alright, I know that I''m making things difficult for you. After all, this is


    your second day at work. How about this, I''de over a few days from now. However, don’t you sign


    the contract with other construction materials’ suppliers, alright?"
