Mr. Burns Is Killing His Wife novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: It's Better Not to Give False Hope

"An investment project? Elisa frowned, barely listening to Koby's words. If he really had any business acumen, her grandfather wouldn't have left the Powell Group to her.

"Just send the money over if you know about it, I need it urgently now."

Elisa said, "I can give you money, but you have to send me the information about the investment project for me to review first."

What father has ever been controlled like this by his daughter? Koby felt humiliated. He cursed Elisa over the phone, saying she was trash and he should have aborted her early on. After saying some harsh words, he tried to gain sympathy.

A slap followed by a candy, Elisa was already numb to these tactics. After listening, she simply replied blandly, "Anything else to say? I'm busy here, I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

"Don't hang up, don't hang up!" Koby quickly stopped her, afraid she would change her mind and he would lose the money.

After hanging up, Elisa waited by her computer. Soon, Koby sent over the documents. She forwarded them to her assistant to print out a copy and bring in, and to help make her a cup of coffee at the same time.

The documents were delivered. Elisa lowered her eyes to read them. Only when a cup of hot coffee was placed on her desk did she stop. The coffee emitted a rich aroma. Elisa freed a hand to pick it up and took a sip. The coffee was high-quality Blue Mountain. The aftertaste was fragrant, yet still too bitter.

She had a sweet tooth and disliked bitter tastes. As someone who used to need a sugar cube even when taking medicine, she now had to rely on this bitter coffee to stay alert.

Elisa took a sip and put it down, continuing to focus on the documents.

Koby was investing in real estate. There were plans, certificates, and the team also seemed reliable. Not even halfway through, Koby called to hurry her for the money.

Her assistant knocked and entered as Elisa was on the phone. She glanced over to signal the assistant to speak.

The assistant said, "Ms. Powell, Dr. Baker is here to see you downstairs."

Why was Micah here? Elisa was surprised and no longer had time to deal with Koby. She hurriedly said "I see" and promptly hung up the call.

"Go bring him up, and get someone to make a cup of tea and bring it in."

In the time her assistant went to get Micah, Elisa transferred 2 million to Koby's account.

Elisa stared at her phone until the screen went dark, but didn't get a word of thanks from her father. She laughed self-deprecatingly and finally threw the phone on her desk.

"Ms. Powell, Dr. Baker is here."
