“Lain! Let her in.”
A trace of hatred flashed in Steven’s eyes. Then, he took out two pills from the drawer and swallowed them. This medicine was prepared for him by Matt
Although Matt couldn’t cure him, the medicine be prepared was still very effective. It just couldn’t be taken too often or it would cause serious damage to the body.
The woman hurriedly exited the office and brought Lillian in a short while later.
“Leave and close the door behind you. No one is to enter without my permission,” Steven ordered the woman.
Lillian instantly felt nervous, feeling the urge to flee. But remembering the company’s dire need for funds, she forced herself to stay calm.
Steven sat on the couch with his legs crossed, asking, “Ms. Smith, you’re a rare visitor. I invited you several times before, but you never came. Today, you actually came to find me on your own initiative. I’m truly flattered”
Lillian replied awkwardly, “Mr. Harris, I’ve been so swamped with work lately. My sincerest apologies. I’m here to sincerely apologize.”
Steven waved his hand dismissively, “I’m not that petty. So, what brings you here?”
Lillian explained, “Our company, the Smith Group, has hit a rough patch. We need some capital to get through it. I was hoping you could lend a helping hand. I would be eternally grateful.”
Steven smirked knowingly “We’re friends, after all of course, I’ll help you out.”
“Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Harris!” Lillian was overcome with emotion. She had braced herself for some outrageous demand, but Steven’s quick agreement surprised her
Steven pulled out a card and handed it to Lilian. “Here’s a million dollars. Take it. There’s no need to pay me back.”
Lillian’s smile vanished instantly. “Mr. Harris, I need one billion dollars.”
“Ms. Smith, you’re asking for one billion dollars? Don’t tell me you think I run a bank?” Steven teased.
“Mr. Harris, consider it a loan for the Smith Group. I promise to repay you in full. With interest, of course,” Lilian pleaded.
Steven gave a scomful laugh “Lillian, don’t play me for a fool. Everyone knows the Smith family is on the brink of bankruptcy. Investing in you would be throwing money down the drain”
“It won’t bel with one billion in working capital, the Smith Group can definitely weather this storm,” Lillian affirmed.
Steven stroked his chin, contemplating. “Loaning you one billion isn’t impossible, but I have one condition.”
“What condition?” Lilian asked urgently. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Marry me. As my wife, your family’s problems become mine. One billion dollars will be wired to your company account immediately” Steven grabbed Lian’s hand, his eyes burning with desire.

“Mr. Harris, please don’t. I’m already married. Please make another condition.” Lillian pulled her hand away, politely refusing. Steven sneered, “Your marriage to that asshole Sebastian is just a formality Divorce him and I’ll marry you right away!
“No, absolutely not!” Lillian shook her head vehemently.
Steven’s expression darkened. “Lillian, don’t push your luck. I’m the only one who can save your family now. Think carefully”
“Mr. Harris, even if I agreed, a divorce wouldn’t happen overnight. The Smith Group doesn’t have that kind of time. Please, just help me. I’m begging you,” Lillian pleaded again. “you can take your time with the marriage thing, but for now, you need to take care of me…properly.”
Steven gave a lecherous grin and lunged toward Lillian..
