Chapter 51 Joy And Sorrow


    Seeing the doubt on Penny''s face, Nathan spoke again, "Don''t you think that this project of ours has a


    lot of potentials, being a good investment?"


    She did not need to even think about it. "Of course! This project is one of the most important projects in


    the city. As long as we do it well, the returns would definitely be immense."


    The man''s eyes crinkled in a smile as he eximed, "Exactly! Those men did not get to be so wealthy


    by being fools. Who doesn''t love money?"


    Even though she felt that things were not as simple as he was making it out to be, his words did make


    a lot of sense.


    Whatever the case, she decided not to pry further. This was a good thing anyway.


    Meanwhile, the Smith family was not in as good a mood as Penny was.


    In the study of the Smith Family Mansion.


    Sean was sitting on his chair, his face as ck as thunder as he red in front of him. Standing before


    him were Samuel, Paul, Miles and May.


    His tone was furious as he chastised, "Samuel, did you just say that the little b****, Penny, managed to


    get a bunch of investors?"


    Samuel answered bitterly, "I have no idea what''d happened either. Those men were practically falling


    over themselves to invest in herpany."


    From beside him, May burst out, "Yeah! They were like old women at a market fighting over the items


    on sale. This one said that he would invest three hundred million; that one said five hundred million.


    I''ve never seen such a shocking thing happen before in all my life..."


    "That''s enough! Stop talking!" Sean roared as his face darkened.


    The woman''s jaw snapped shut with aclick. Everyone looked upset as they thought over the matter


    before them.


    Paul spat hatefully, "Just what exactly happened? We were so close to getting the Asiatic shopping


    mall project! Why would these bosses suddenly want to invest in her?"


    A silence descended upon them as everyone pondered on the question.


    Finally, Samuel spoke up slowly, "Actually, it''s not that hard to understand. This project is a huge

    project. Investing in it would bring considerable returns once it has finished. If evenweknow this, those


    businessmen most definitely do. It makes sense that they would want a cut of the profit."


    At his words, everyone present nodded their heads in agreement. Paul sighed wistfully, "If only we had


    met with Penny earlier to discuss investing in herpany. What a pity.”


    Sean growled, "No use crying over spilt milk. Now that she doesn''t need any more funds, how are we


    supposed to nab that project?"


    At this, a wicked smile crossed Samuel''s face. "Dad, you don''t need to worry about that. Penny might


    have the necessary funds now, but Cross Corporation is still rtively small and weak. Plus, she and


    Nathan angered Joseph Myers when Nathan smashed a beer bottle over his head. You know that he


    won''t let that slide. He''ll definitely find a way to ruin them."


    "All we need to do now is wait. Once Mr. Myers forces them into a corner, we''ll jump out at thest


    moment to be the good guys. We''ll beg Mr. Myers to let Penny go, but in return, she would have to


    hand the project over to us."


    Smiles split everyone''s lips when they heard Samuel''s suggestion. It was no wonder why, as he was


    the eldest.


    Nodding in satisfaction, Sean reminded his eldest son, "Take the time to get closer to Mr. Myers. Once


    we get the Asiatic project, I can finally force Penny to divorce that useless Nathan Cross. After that, I''ll


    marry her off to Mr. Myers.”


    Samuel grinned as he replied, "Yes, sir!
