Chapter 202
In truth, Ariana had given Gwen the 90 million dollars, which meant that Gwen would need to pay back the capital, another 90 million dollars, and the high interest.
Ariana was definitely winning.
But she did so not because she needed the money. She wanted a reason to put Gwen behind bars, as she didn’t want to see Gwen around her.
“Anyway, thank you, Mr. Smith…” Ariana reached out to grab the contract, but he easily raised his arm, and the contract was immediately out of her reach due to their height difference.
“I’m not helping you for free. Where’s the stuff I want?!!
She pulled out a contract and handed it to him. “Here’s one of the land parcels owned by the Torreys in the city, but unlike Evelyn, I’m not rich. I can’t give it to you for free”
“I thought we agreed on one billion dollars? Not one cent less.”
Her smile froze when he made that remark. She always thought he was bluffing.
In the past life, he had bought a parcel of land from the Grangers with one billion dollars. Because of that, Evelyn enjoyed the attention for quite a while in the city.
Yet, Ariana couldn’t care less for the money. He could pay her any amount, but it could not be one billion dollars. She seethed. “Victor Smith, are you trying to get me into your mess?”
The reason he spent a fortune on the parcel of land was to launder his money from abroad. She might go to jail for *years if anyone opened an investigation later.
She might even die in prison!
“Ms. Torrey, your words don’t make sense. Do you understand what you’re talking about?” He shot her a look.
If she blatantly mentioned money laundering, she would expose her knowledge of his illegal activities.
Inhaling sharply, she forced a smile. “Mr. Smith, you must be joking. I have no idea.”
“Good”
He grabbed the contract from Ariana and signed it. “The money will be transferred to your company’s account in a few days.”
Smiling, he added, “Let’s get on well.”
Ariana was reluctant to get involved with Victor in any way. She should have been matchmaking Victor and Evelyn just like in her past life.
Given his affection for Evelyn, he would never put her at risk, and he’d find a way to clear Evelyn of money laundering accusations.
Yet, Ariana thought Victor had gone insane. He’d chosen her as his business partner instead.
with
What if Victor slowly fell in love in the future? He’d definitely screw her up for Evelyn’s sake.
She clenched her jaw as she stared at his icy and perfect jawline.
Oh, well! She’d come back to this later. She needed to get through the immediate problem.
