Chapter 461 Bet on It
Only after Jessica had left did Samuel wave at the assistant standing not far away.
"Anything you need me to help with, Director Walker?"
Samuel asked, "How much in current assets do I have?"
"At the moment, you have about a hundred million dors in current assets. That, together with your
real estate assets and your stocks in Amirate Corporation, are worth about 50 million dors."
Samuel considered it seriously. Should he ce a bet on this game of chess?
If he were to do it, he would have to bet everything he owned on it. If he did not, he would miss out
on such a good opportunity, and he didn''t want that.
"Do you think the real estate market will continue to perform as well as it is now?"
The assistant said without hesitation, "Why would you need to worry about the future of the real
estate market, Director Walker? Real estate has always been and will always be a profit-earning
business that will never incur losses."
Samuel nodded in agreement.
Speaking from years of experience in business, the prospects of the real estate market were indeed
looking good. If he were to invest in it, he would surely earn profits.
He wanted toe on top as the victor this time, too. Why should he be confined to Amirate
Corporation and his feud with Grace?
He could jump out of it and make a ce for himself out there, and this project was a great
springboard.
"Take out a mortgage on all the real estate assets under my name."
"Director Walker, isn''t … this decision a bit too impulsive?"
Samuel waved, stopping the assistant from saying more. "Just do as I say."
"Yes, Director Walker."
"Also … my stocks in Amirate mustn''t be sold, or I''ll have nowhere to fall back to," Samuel
murmured as if he were deep in thought.
After a while, he continued, "Go take a look at the ck market and see if any low-profile private
loans are avable. We can borrow some money for now and pay the loans back after we receive
the profits from the project. It should be fine."
"Borrowing from private lendingpanies in the ck markets will be risky, Director Walker. We
should be more careful."
"No need for that. The liquidity of this project is very high, and I believe that we''ll receive our funds
within a short time. It should be fine."
"But …"
All forms of investment came with a risk!
The assistant didn''t say that out loud. Seeing how insistent Samuel was, he could only swallow his
words back.
"Got it, Director Walker. I''ll do as you say."
…
When Grace was done with her work for the day, it was finally time for her to get off work. She
stretched once and looked at the time before closing herptop.
She happened to bump into Luke before she left.
"Where are you going, Ms. Lewis?"

"Oh, I''m going to the store."
Luke looked curious. "You can just tell me what you want to buy at the store, Ms. Lewis, and I''ll buy
it for you."
"It''s fine. I can shop by myself."
Before Luke could say anything, Grace had already walked far away.
Grace headed to a shopping mall nearby and picked out some expensive ingredients as well as
some gifts. Her purchases ended up filling the trunk of her car.
After loading up her car, she drove toward Hawkins Manor.
…
After lunch that day, Elizabeth had ordered her housekeepers to clean the house thoroughly. She
had also had the kitchen staff prepare Grace''s favorite dishes.
When the time came, she stood in front of the manor, waiting expectantly.
About half an hourter, Grace''s car drove in from the road. Elizabeth''s eyes lit up with joy as she
quickly went forward.
"Quick, Grace is here!"
"Careful, Mrs. Hawkins Senior!"
Elizabeth disregarded her housekeepers'' reminders as she jogged toward the yard.
Grace was just about to get out of the car after parking it when a familiar car drove in slowly,
causing her smile to disappear.
