The Runaway Groom Chapter 320


    Chapter 320


    Feeling humiliated just then,n snapped, “What do you think you’re doing. Dad?!”


    Having an affair at his age?


    Quincy would flip out if she knew!


    In fact,n himself was already losing his mind!


    Still, he worked hard to cool his temper and stopped himself from getting in the car to drag the woman


    out. “Tell her to get out of your car right now!”


    Kathy York was startled right then, and promptly threw herself into Greg’s arms.


    Greg naturally felt protective seeing that his sweetheart was frightened, and shot his son a re, “Don’t


    think you can order me around just because you became CEO of Light Group. I’m still your father-and


    you don’t ever get to talk to me like that!”


    With that, he shut the door inn’s face and snapped at his chauffeur to drive, leavingn shaking with


    rage.


    Robin walked up to him gingerly, and tried to assure him, “Maybe it’s not what you think…”


    “What, does it only count if I catch them in bed?!”n was wheezing, feeling down in the dumps just


    then.” I think you should go. I don’t think I can take you home today.”


    “Okay…” Robin murmured.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She was certainly reluctant since it was a rare chance for her to meetn’s parents. Even so, her


    feelings did not matter after what just happened, and had to ept that as reality.


    As forn, he headed straight home… but could not say a word when he actually saw Quincy.


    He knew his mother’s temper, and that if she found out, she would definitely go to war with Greg.


    And at the moment, they had yet to rein in Light Group back on the right track, and he would rather not


    have family troubles on his te too.


    Light Group wasn’s priority… but as things go, the more you care, the more you would lose it.


    Just two weeks after the 80 million dor investment into James Cross’s Eastdawn, the man called him,


    saying. “Sorry,n, but we ran into a snag. We’re going to need more capital.”


    “I thought you said the development is in its final phase?” he asked with an edge in his voice. “Are you


    saying that the 80 million I injected isn’t enough? What happened?”


    “Yes, we wouldn’t have needed a second injection if things had gone smoothly, but there’s an issue


    now. It’s alright if you’re not interested-we have other interested parties..”


    “We have an agreement,”n growled, cutting him short. “It’s stated in ck-and-white that we’re your


    sole partners. You’re breaching the agreement if you find someone else!”


    “Yes, but mypany is this close! Am i supposed to just give up on all the capital spent on the


    development instead of finding solutions? James became harsh and direct as well. “I didn’t want to say


    it, but you definitely don’t have Isaac Jefferson’s mettle. Do you remember how everyone only had


    praise


    for him back when he was in charge? He’s even famous for throwing money into risky projects-”


    “What is that supposed to mean?”n was already upset, and the mention of Isaac only worsened his


    mood. “Are you calling me stingy?”


    James, however, was not afraid to provoke him with an agreement signed. “Yes, you’re stingy,” he said


    shortly. “Yourpany is worth billions, and we’re just asking for 150 million, but you’re already getting


    cagey. How is that not stingy?”


    Ian frowned. “What was that? 150 million?”


    “Uh-huh.”


    “I’ve already given you 80 million!”n was left heaving, and it felt like his chest was burning from sheer


    frustration. “And you’re asking for 150 million dors not a few dayster? What am I, a money-printing


    machine?!”


    Nothing was going his way at all!


    “Development like this has always been a money burner-”


    “This isn’t even a money burner! You’re basically using dor bills like toilet paper!”


    Nheless,n took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing. “Fine, let’s cut the crap. Give


    me a precise amount and make sure there won’t be more issues this time, and I’ll give you the capital.


    Also, do you actually have an ETA for the project’spletion?”


    “I’ve already told you: we’re in the final phase. It’s just an ident and no one wanted that. Also, I


    know that you’ve poured a lot of money into us, but you should already have known that I’ve bet my


    bottom dor on this. I won’t lie to you-I’ve spent over a billion on this, and failure means bankruptcy for


    me. That’s why I would never let this fail, and I apologize if I have been rude. It’s just that a setback


    when we’re so close hurts me too, and I should have chosen my words better as well. I hope I have


    your understanding…”


    Also, James had invested over a billion, while he only invested 80 million. Ian was still going to make a


    killing even if he invested more, since he would get half the profits once theponent was finished


    and


    marketed.


    “How much do you need?”n asked.
