Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 377

On the sixth day, something happened in the Smith family.

It was in the house of the Thompson family.

Jessica was sitting opposite Alonso. She was speaking eloquently with a natural look. However, her palms were actually sweating.

That was her first time to meet him, a legend. Not only that, she was even having a business talk with him at the moment. Thus, she was excited yet anxious.

“Done?” Alonso gave a wink to his servant. Then, his servant went forward immediately and poured a cup of tea for Jessica.

Jessica nodded, “Although the reputation of the Chante family is not good now, I am sure that you will be able to earn a large sum of money after taking over the shares due to these two newly developed medicine!”

“If you know that you can get a big profit from it, why don’t you just get it for the Smith Group and keep the profit for yourselves?” Alonso put on his presbyopic glasses and continued to read the next page of the newspaper.

Jessica sighed lightly, “To be honest, I tried to persuade my family to get the shares as I think it will bring a big profit to us. However, we had used our fixed assets as mortgage to get a loan from the bank as we wanted to get the shares in the shortest time. But the bad thing is the payment date is around the corner and we can’t afford the debt.”

That was the excuse that had been made up by her before she started her plan.

Alonso just smiled at her. Then, he continued reading another page of the newspaper and did not give any response to her.

“So… You mean?” Jessica asked cautiously.

Just as Alonso put down the newspaper, a servant came over and helped him to keep it. After that, the servant took over his glasses respectfully.

“You also said that ‘if there are the two newly developed drugs’, the premise is the ‘if’.”

When Jessica heard until that part, her heart was feeling a little uneasy of a sudden. She tried to calm herself down, “I can guarantee that these two new drugs have just been developed and they show amazing effect. So, you must be able to earn a lot after the medicine hit the market…”

Alonso showed his hand and indicated that she did not need to talk more about it, “Young lady, the two medicines do not exist. Therefore, it is not possible for me to take over the shares from you. I am sorry.”

Jessica was shocked.

‘There were no such medicines?’

‘How was that possible?’

She had gone through so many channels to get the information. How could it be wrong?

Jessica’s face turned pale at that moment, “Mr. Alonso, I think your information might be wrong. These two medicines are newly developed by the Chante Group’s biological company. I have investigated it many times and I believe that my information is absolutely true!”

“If I even get this little information wrong, do you think I can still run my family business smoothly until today?” Alonso shook his head and instructed his servant, “Send Miss Jessica to the door.”

‘It was impossible!’

‘It must be Alonso who got the wrong information!’

Jessica’s mind was totally blank. At that instant, she just felt that the sky was falling, “Mr. Alonso, I hope to continue the talk with you!”

She wanted to go after Alonso but her way was blocked by two servants just as she took two steps forwards, “Miss Jessica, please go!”

“Mr. Alonso! Mr. Alonso!!!”

Since Jessica was born, she had never lost her temper like that in her life. She was overwhelmed by limitless fear. She was struggling desperately and trying her best to hold her last hope.

However, the two servants did not let her go. She could not go through them so she could only look at the view of Alonso’s back and saw him disappearing around the corner of the stairs.

‘Oh no!’

Jessica fell to the floor. Her eyes looked so empty and listless.

She thought that everything was going right according to her plan but how did it turn out like that out of the blue?
