Chapter 67


    “Lain! Let her in.”


    A trace of hatred shed in Steven’s eyes. Then, he took out two pills from the drawer and


    swallowed them. This medicine was prepared for him by Matt


    Although Matt couldn’t cure him, the medicine be prepared was still very effective. It just couldn’t


    be taken too often or it would cause serious damage to the body.


    The woman hurriedly exited the office and brought Lillian in a short whileter.


    “Leave and close the door behind you. No one is to enter without my permission,” Steven ordered


    the woman.


    Lillian instantly felt nervous, feeling the urge to flee. But remembering thepany’s dire need for


    funds, she forced herself to stay calm.


    Steven sat on the couch with his legs crossed, asking, “Ms. Smith, you’re a rare visitor. I invited you


    several times before, but you never came. Today, you actually came to find me on your own


    initiative. I’m truly ttered”


    Lillian replied awkwardly, “Mr. Harris, I’ve been so swamped with worktely. My sincerest


    apologies. I’m here to sincerely apologize.”


    Steven waved his hand dismissively, “I’m not that petty. So, what brings you here?”

    Lillian exined, “Ourpany, the Smith Group, has hit a rough patch. We need some capital to


    get through it. I was hoping you could lend a helping hand. I would be eternally grateful.”


    Steven smirked knowingly “We’re friends, after all of course, I’ll help you out.”


    “Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Harris!” Lillian was ovee with emotion. She had braced


    herself for some outrageous demand, but Steven’s quick agreement surprised her


    Steven pulled out a card and handed it to Lilian. “Here’s a million dors. Take it. There’s no need to


    pay me back.”


    Lillian’s smile vanished instantly. “Mr. Harris, I need one billion dors.”


    “Ms. Smith, you’re asking for one billion dors? Don’t tell me you think I run a bank?” Steven


    teased.


    “Mr. Harris, consider it a loan for the Smith Group. I promise to repay you in full. With interest, of


    course,” Lilian pleaded.


    Steven gave a fulugh “Lillian, don’t y me for a fool. Everyone knows the Smith family is


    on the brink of bankruptcy. Investing in you would be throwing money down the drain”


    “It won’t bel with one billion in working capital, the Smith Group can definitely weather this storm,”


    Lillian affirmed.


    Steven stroked his chin, contemting. “Loaning you one billion isn’t impossible, but I have one


    condition.”


    “What condition?” Lilian asked urgently.


    “Marry me. As my wife, your family’s problems be mine. One billion dors will be wired to


    yourpany ount immediately” Steven grabbed Lian’s hand, his eyes burning with desire.

    “Mr. Harris, please don’t. I’m already married. Please make another condition.” Lillian pulled her


    hand away, politely refusing. Steven sneered, “Your marriage to that asshole Sebastian is just a


    formality Divorce him and I’ll marry you right away!


    “No, absolutely not!” Lillian shook her head vehemently.


    Steven’s expression darkened. “Lillian, don’t push your luck. I’m the only one who can save your


    family now. Think carefully”


    “Mr. Harris, even if I agreed, a divorce wouldn’t happen overnight. The Smith Group doesn’t have


    that kind of time. Please, just help me. I’m begging you,” Lillian pleaded again. “you can take your


    time with the marriage thing, but for now, you need to take care of me…properly.”


    Steven gave a lecherous grin and lunged toward Lillian..
