Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 47

Nathan gave her a small smile as he replied, “As you wish, dear.”

Penny blushed as a warm feeling rose within her.

Although Nathan was impulsive and easy to anger, he was still quite willing to listen to her.

Turning to the kneeling men, Nathan spoke in a hard tone, “This time, I’ll let you off the hook. There better not be a next time, for your sakes.”

Immensely relieved, they instantly babbled their thanks before fleeing the place with their tails tucked between their legs.

After they left, a troubled look appeared on Penny’s face, as thoughts swirled through her mind. She still did not know what to do about the financial problems that Cross Corporation was facing.

Nathan’s smile was comforting as he spoke gently, “Trust me, things will work out. You shouldn’t worry so much about it. Someone will come to invest in us sooner or later.”

Rolling her eyes at him, she professed bitterly, “At least one of us is being positive. We’ve offended Joseph Myers. A lot of companies will not invest in us with respect to him.”

“The request for a loan from the bank was rejected too.”

“Ugh, if we don’t get any funds soon, the company’s going to be in deep trouble.”

At that moment, the office landline rang and Penny answered the phone. “Hello?”

The voice of the front desk receptionist sounded from the other side of the phone, “President Smith, there’s a Samuel here asking to see you.”

Initially surprised at her Uncle Samuel’s sudden visit, her face soon fell as she remembered her family being exiled from the Smith family. Her voice was cold as she replied, “I don’t want to see him.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

With that said, she prepared to hang up when the receptionist called out urgently, “He wants me to tell you that he’s here to invest in the company. He asks if you’re interested now?”

Uncle’s here to invest?

Penny found herself in a dilemma. From an emotional standpoint, she had no positive feelings left for the Smith family. In fact, it was probably more accurate to say that she had resented them.

But as the leader of a company, she could not allow her personal feelings to get in the way of the company’s interest.

Hesitating for a moment, she finally relented, “Fine, bring them up to my office!”

A short while later, the receptionist entered with Samuel, Miles, May and several other men.

Before Samuel came, he had already heard about Penny and Nathan offending Joseph Myers. He had known that they were having trouble getting investors and their loan request had been rejected. Not only that, he even knew that they had had an altercation with Director Nelson, getting thrown out of the bank.

Hearing all these rumors, he had not bothered finding out the truth behind them. Instead, he had already concluded that Penny was most definitely running out of resources right now. This was why he had come here to discuss his investment in her company. He was certain that she would have no choice other than to accept all his conditions.

Dressed in a black suit, the well-built figure of Samuel strode into Penny’s office, with a group of people following along behind him.

Glancing around the office, he finally rested his gaze on Nathan and Penny. There was a slightly mocking tone to his voice as he complimented, “Penny, your new office is pretty nice!”

Penny’s face was hard as she asked icily, “What are you doing here?”

Pulling out a chair, Samuel plonked himself down imperiously while Miles, May and his bodyguards stood behind him with their hands clasped behind their backs.

A sly smile curved onto his lips as he answered, “Why, to discuss business with you of course! To my knowledge, Cross Corporation is in dire need of funds. You’re looking for some investors, right?”
