Chapter 50 Her Ambition
The smile on Charles’ face started to fade. “I know you have an artificial farm in Xendale. However, the goose is one of the nation’s first-class protected animals. It’s illegal to sell them in business. I don’t dare to cross the laws.”
Reina replied, “These are cultivated geese, which are different from those in the wild.”
“I’m aware. However, does everyone know that? What about the general public? As far as I know, your farm always receives complaints every month.”
Reina nodded. “I’ve invested one hundred million into this project. If I fail to give any results, my shareholders are bound to withdraw their shares. With that, my capital flow is going to have big trouble. Hence, I hope that you can help me.”
Charles sighed. “I can lend you a few hundred million for that. However, there is no way to sell geese in the district.”
Reina nodded in response. “All right, I got it. Thank you, Mr. Langford. As for the debts, I can handle them for the time being. Good day to you as well, Lana.”
Lana tugged at her worriedly. “Why don’t you continue your estate business? Hmm? Are you still having a fever?”
Reina didn’t reply to her. She merely shook her head tiredly.
Lana pondered for a while and said to Donald, “Can you send her back?”
The latter nodded. “Sure.”
“He’s my bodyguard. Don’t worry. He’s a good person with good driving skills.”
Reina nodded in response.
In fact, Donald intended to refuse her at first. However, he needed her help tomorrow to crack the password. Hence, he agreed to do her a favor.
Charles broke out a weird smile as he saw the two leaving.
The moment Reina got into Lana’s Aston Martin, she closed her eyes as a worn look appeared on her face.
“To Pollerton Estates.” Reina leaned against the seat.
“Do you know Jennifer?” Donald asked out of blue.
Reina opened her eyes. “Yes. Why?”
“She’s my ex-wife, and she’s related to you.”
Donald seemed to be talkative when he mentioned Jennifer.
“I know. She’s an outstanding woman with a great vision. However, her family’s condition stopped her from advancing. Now that the Wilson family has strengthened once again, she will be my greatest opponent.”
Donald frowned. “What do you mean by that?”
Reina turned to have a look at him. She was surprised when she saw his features. At that moment, she finally had the chance to observe his appearance.
He had a resolute face, and his deep, sad eyes seemed to be hiding a story behind them.
“She wants to take over all of my business,” Reina replied. “Not just the pharmaceutical business but the estate business, luxurious goods, construction, and more of them!”
“At first, I didn’t mind that too, as I was also trying to transform my business. As long as I can earn a profit from the geese, then I don’t mind giving up the estate business to her. After all, others will do so too if she doesn’t.” Reina paused for a while and continued, “However, she has now even targeted my geese. I know it isn’t her idea, but Nigel’s!”
The thought of Nigel made her frown.
Although she had met many young men in the business industry, Nigel was the only person who could amaze her and alarm her at the same time.
He was level-headed, domineering, and merciless. Besides, he seemed to give out a formidable aura of a century-old affluent family.
“Nigel must have instigated her to do so!” Reina hissed in a low voice. She then smiled mockingly and apologized, “I’m sorry. It’s useless grumbling. Perhaps you don’t even know who he is.”
She smiled apologetically at Donald. There wasn’t a single hint of disdain in her look but calmness.
“How long can your Scarlet Swan Villa survive?” he asked.
Reina hesitated for a while before replying, “Half a month. They have blocked all of my sales channels. Nigel is already putting his plan into action. The media has been pulling out all stops on me these days, and the people disapprove of my farm. It will only take half a month for me to close my business. Oh, that’s three years of my effort gone to waste!”
At last, she couldn’t hold herself together and burst into tears. “I started my business at the age of nineteen. I’m twenty-six-year-old today. Nobody knows how much I’ve suffered all these seven years. Even my boyfriend chooses to stab me behind when my company faces a crisis!”
“Is it because you refused to return to the Wilson family?” Donald asked.
Reina flashed him a surprised look. “How would you know?”
Donald merely smiled.
After a while, he suggested, “Let me teach you a way – it should be good enough for your Scarlet Swan Villa to revive in five days. Besides, Charles will give you a logistic route willingly and allow you to establish your brand in the district.”
Naturally, Reina held doubts about his proposal. However, it seemed impolite to reject him. Hence, she said, “Tell me about it.”
