Graham was shocked, and the corner of his lip twitched.
"750,000,000 dollars?" he mumbled.
It might be tough to gather even 75,000,000 dollars in working capital with the subsidiary company he was managing.
If he needed 750,000,000 dollars, he would have to apply with the headquarters, and the application would then be discussed with the board of directors.
The board was filled with old people who were of a similar age to his father, and they were quite conservative. They would definitely decline the 750,000,000 dollars...
"Mr. Bayer?" Fat Lawler sneered. "What? The high and mighty prince of the Bayers can't even come up with this small amount of money?"
Sophia quickly elbowed and signaled him.
She then told Fat Lawler with a smile, "That's not it! Since you've named your price, Graham will definitely take it!"
"Really?" Fat Lawler raised his brows. "Giving you the price is my way of showing my sincerity, but I haven't seen yours!"
"Fat Lawler—"
She wanted to say more, but Graham stopped her.
He took a deep breath. At the same time, he was ready to face the worst-case scenario.
"Of course, I'm sincere about this, Fat Lawler. However, the subsidiary company I'm currently managing is in a bad place. If I need to come up with 750,000,000 dollars, my father will definitely be alerted. I'm afraid by then..."
"So that's what you're worried about!" Fat Lawler said while smiling. "Let's just be direct, Mr. Bayer. Do you not have the money?"
Graham looked terrible and nodded with great difficulty.
"And you don't want your father to find out about this?"
"Yes."
"That's easy!" Fat Lawler puffed on his cigar, and his subordinate handed Graham a business card as the smoke lingered around him.
Graham was stunned. "What's this?"
"Since you don't have the money, you can get a loan from the bank." Fat Lawler squinted. "I'm close with this person. He is a bigshot at the bank and will definitely help you financially."
Sophia was overjoyed when she heard this and kept thanking him, but Graham had a bad feeling.
Could Fat Lawler provide everything he was lacking? There was no such thing as a free lunch!
However, Sophia advised him. "Fat Lawler is from the underworld. People like him care most about loyalty! Also, this is a legitimate bank, not a loan shark. What are you still worried about?"
Graham hesitated and fell into silence.
"Don't you want to show your parents what you've got, gain the power to speak, and marry me?" She grabbed his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Graham, this is the best opportunity for us. We can be together forever as soon as we do this!"
He eventually nodded and hugged her. He wanted to succeed quickly, too. After all, the losses he caused the subsidiary company could not be solved with forged accounting—he would have to fill them in with real money.

A few days later, Maisie returned to the kindergarten after recovering.
Daniel smiled happily when she came to work because he could finally let her sit in the passenger's seat and send her to the entrance without hiding.
