Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090 An Investment Of Five Billion 

Horace was waiting to meet the chairman of Four Seas Corporation when he spotted Alex coming to him. “How did you manage to enter Four Seas Corporation?” he blurted out incredulously. 

Right after he said that, he spotted Jack behind Alex. He knew that Jack was the previous chairman of Four Seas Corporation and currently the person-in-charge of the company. 

At once, he straightened his back and offered an ingratiating smile. “Mr. Sawyer, is Mr. Jefferson free to meet me?” 

Jack shot Horace a look before turning to Alex. “Mr. Jefferson, these are the men who insisted on meeting you to discuss a collaboration with Four Seas Corporation.” 

Alex nodded knowingly and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Ah, I see. I actually know these men. We had dinner together just last night! Mr. Hernandez even arranged for a few of his men to see me off, and one of them happened to be Tigris.” 

Horace felt his mind go blank. The truth rocked him so hard that he could barely think straight. 

This young man is the chairman of Four Seas Corporation? I thought he was a penniless man and even mocked him countless times! It looks like Autumn was right when she told me he’s the chairman of Four Seas Corporation. 

Horace was at a loss for words. He had unknowingly offended an influential man. Alex even found out that he was the one who had secretly sent Tigris to beat him up. 

Realizing that his plan to strike a deal would be futile. Horace felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead as fear coursed through his body. His legs began to tremble uncontrollably. 

“M-Mr. Jefferson, it was all a misunderstanding. I assure you, I don’t know anyone by the name You must have misunderstood the situation. I deeply regret any offense I may have caused you restaurant, and I sincerely hope you won’t hold it against me,” he pleaded. 

Horace thought if he insisted that it wasn’t him, no one could pin the blame on him. If I apologize p to Mr. Jefferson, he might forgive me for what I did. 

His reaction was just as Alex had anticipated. Sporting a mischievous grin, Alex responded, “Ah, what a small world. You say you don’t know Tigris, but he actually mentioned knowing you quite well! In fact, 1 just called him to let him know about your presence, and he should be joining us shortly.” 

Horace had no idea what Alex was getting at, but he happened to be good friends with Tigris and quickly formulated a plan. He decided to discreetly signal Tigris to play along with him, hoping to navigate the situation in his favor. 

At that thought, Horace grew increasingly confident. He relaxed and began talking business to Alex. 

With a confident smile, Horace attempted to regain control of the conversation. “Mr. Jefferson, I’m a successful businessman in Horington. I’ve come here today to propose a lucrative investment opportunity. There is a project that I have in mind which has immense potential for growth. If you invest one hundred million dollars, I assure you that your investment will triple within a year.” 

Horace passionately delved into the details of his project, painting a vivid picture of the immense success that awaited Alex. With persuasive arguments and compelling projections, he made it sound as if investing in his project would propel Alex to the ranks of the world’s wealthiest individuals 

“During dinner, I overheard that you possess a fortune worth billions,” Alex casually remarked, playfully 

glancing toward Horace, curious about his response. “Given your vast wealth, why would you need my investment of a mere hundred million?” 

Horace’s face flushed with embarrassment as he hurriedly waved his hands. “Mr. Jefferson, please don’t say such things. Unexpected circumstances have arisen, leading to my assets being frozen. That’s precisely why I require your investment-so we can generate profits together!”
