Chapter 261


    Jennifer replied, “Mr. Leo, I''m sure you''ve heard the news as well. I’ve recently managed to secure


    a majornd remation project, and I''ll be able to recoup all losses by January next year. Please


    rest assured; we will definitely be able to pay the loan.”


    “What will you be using as coteral?” Lloyd took a seat and nced at Jennifer. He then picked up


    an ovalshaped ore the size of a human head and started fiddling with it.


    Jennifer hesitated before suggesting, “Can I use thend remation project permit as coteral?”


    Lloyd stroked the ore in his hand and shook his head with a smile. “You youngsters need to be more


    sincere. What am I supposed to do with a permit? 1 don''t know much about engineering, so it''s


    worthless to me. Try something else.”


    Jennifer''s brows furrowed and she turned to look at Felicia.


    That wasn''t the deal! Didn''t Felicia say that the permit was enough? Why did Mr. Leo change his


    mind?


    Jennifer replied, “Mr. Leo, the most valuable thing I have on hand is the permit for thend


    remation project. If you''re not satisfied with that, then I''ll be taking my leave. Thank you for your


    time.”


    Lloyd nced at Jennifer and scanned her from top to toe. “That''s not right. You do have something


    else to offer as coteral.”


    Jennifer was stunned. What does he mean?


    Lloyd cackled and enlightened her, “The most valuable coteral you possess is your body! I can


    give you a loan of a hundred million. The loan period is six months with an interest of fifty million. In


    other words, you have to pay me a total of a hundred and fifty million in six months'' time. However,


    you''ll have to stay here as coteral for those six months!”


    Jennifer''s expression changed.


    Fifty million in interest for a loan period of six months? That''s clearly overpriced! What''s more, he


    wants me as coteral! Who knows what would happen to me if I agreed? It''s probably a fate worse


    than death!


    “Thank you for your time today, Mr. Leo.” Jennifer got up to leave.


    Felicia stopped her. “Hold on, Jennifer.”


    Jennifer turned to look at her.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Felicia continued, “The interest of this loan is really low. Mr. Leo would charge at least double for


    anyone else.”


    Fifty million for six months is a good deal?


    Jenniferughed apologetically. “I''m sorry, Felicia. I''ll just have to find another way to raise funds.”


    Felicia started to panic. “Jennifer, Mr. Leo is a busy man. I went through so much to make an


    appointment for you. How could you leave just like that?”


    Lloyd simply sat on the couch, his gaze turning colder with each passing second.


    Cosmic za isn''t a ce you cane and leave as you please.


    “Who said you could go?” Lloyd sneered. “My time is precious. It''s not something the likes of you


    can afford.”


    Jennifer apologized, “I''m really sorry, Mr. Leo, but I''m unable to afford the conditions you offered


    me.”


    Lloyd suddenly burst out inughter. He ced the ore on top of the coffee table and made an offer,


    “Ms. Wilson, why don''t we have a gamble?”


    Jennifer was puzzled and simply waited for Lloyd to continue.


    Lloyd exined, “I love collecting ores. One might even say this is gambling. I love to seek the


    thrills of the unknown. Let''s have a gamble then. Buy this ore for a hundred thousand! If what''s


    inside is worth less than that, I''ll leave you be. If it’s worth more than a hundred thousand, then


    you''ll have toply with every single one of my conditions!”


    Lloyd then narrowed his eyes and red at Jennifer.


    Was this what Felicia meant by “weird hobbies”?


    Jennifer cleared her throat. “I''m the representative of the Wilson family of Tayhaven here in


    Pollerton...”


    She was prepared to use the Wilson family''s name to scare Lloyd into backing off. Many influential


    figures in Pollerton had tread carefully around the Wilson family. Even Zayne was no exception.


    However, to Jennifer''s disappointment, Lloyd gave her a scornful look. “The Wilson family of


    Tayhaven?”


    He feared no one, not even Zayne. The Wilson family was nothing to him!


    He had been Noah''s subordinate since a decade ago. After biding his time for over a decade, Noah


    would finally be able to regain power. That was why Lloyd acted so arrogantly!
