Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1221

This is really bad news for his company. Who would want to invest in a total jerk?

Investing in a scumbag comes with risks—what if the government cracks down on him one day? All their money would go down the drain.

So, the big shots who were planning to invest started to hesitate.

Their hesitation made Zane panic.

The stuff online had confirmed his ties to Central Pharmaceuticals. There was no way to deny it now—he just had to own up and deal with it.

He personally called up all those big-name investors who had shown interest before.

But, without exception, he got the cold shoulder from every single one of them.

Zane started to freak out. Without new investments, he couldn’t expand production, and if he couldn’t expand, there was no way he could land that huge contract coming up.

We’re talking billions here—no way he could let that slip through his fingers.

He was counting on this deal to make it big!

As Zane was getting desperate, his assistant suddenly announced, “Boss, Alpha just reached out to us. He wants to talk about an investment.”

“Alpha? That investment genius?”

“Yeah, that’s him.”

“I thought he and Tarquin didn’t get along…”

Zane mulled it over for a second. “Get in touch. I’ll talk to him myself.”

It didn’t take long for Elliot, using a voice changer, to contact Zane as Alpha.

Elliot offered to invest five billion, but there was a catch—they had to sign a profit-guarantee agreement.

Zane promised that Central Pharmaceuticals would earn at least ten billion in profit within three months.

If he didn’t hit that number, he’d hand over full controlling interest in Central Pharmaceuticals to Alpha.

Elliot agreed. And if Zane did hit the target, Elliot would throw in another ten billion as a follow-up investment.

Zane knew there was a huge order coming in, so he was feeling pretty confident.

He didn’t hesitate and signed the agreement that very afternoon.

Elliot and Tarquin wasted no time—they wired the five billion straight into Central Pharmaceuticals’ account.

A little bait is always worth it for a big hunt.
