The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 92

Sylvia Morin strode with rushed strides, taking her place in the center of the stage with her brown hair swaying gracefully. She was smartly dressed in her usual professional attire, with her short skirt. Her stunning face had a polished look that radiated an aura of distinction.

Smiling gently, she said quietly, “Good evening judges... Mr. Winter, Mr. Todd, and Mr. Gardner.”

"Good evening, Sylvia Morin," Patrick replied with a warm smile. "Finally, there is a participant that I find quite interesting. What business idea do you want to present tonight? I'm sure it will be interesting," he continued.

"Yes, I can't wait to hear it too," Cash Todd chimed in. "Please present your business idea soon."

Sylvia was the first female to make an appearance that evening, and she stunned everyone with her professional demeanor and her stunning looks. Her physical appearance and facial features were particularly remarkable.

Sylvia had a serious expression, but her sharp eyes and firm words held their own beauty. With just a few words, she could command the attention of anyone in the room.

"Wow!" exclaimed the first person, eyes widening in awe. "She's really beautiful, isn't she? For a moment I thought she was a celebrity! And, at this point, I feel like she's more of a celebrity than a businessman."

"Are you stupid?" another person interjected, rolling their eyes. "Of course there are also many successful female businessmen, and most of them are also beautiful. They have the money to pay for their needs, after all."

"But this girl hasn't become a successful businessman yet, has she?" the other person countered. "That's why she's here tonight. She needs funds to finance her business."

"I agree that some women can become prettier after getting beauty treatments," the other person replied, "but I think Sylvia is already naturally beautiful. She was born with an amazing face, and the aura and charisma she has is really dominant."

They swallowed their saliva as they finished, awestruck.

Sylvia started her presentation immediately, presenting a detailed 3D sketch of her vision for the future of Golden Lake, a huge lake located near Southlake.

"Southlake is a highly strategic city," she said. "It's directly connected to a large lake that has been essential to the livelihoods of many of Southlake's residents from all walks of life for decades. But the potential of this lake is still huge and, with the plans that I have formulated over the years, I'm certain that Southlake will become even more prosperous and that the lives of many impoverished people can be improved in the future. By empowering local people with more resources, we can achieve greater economic equality. That's my vision."

The thunderous clapping of the crowd reverberated throughout the expansive studio as they were left in awe of the knowledge Sylvia had shared. Many were astonished by her brilliance and intellect, and one voice in the crowd marveled, "Man, she's really smart! I can't even fathom the amount of effort she put into preparing such a big design."

"Yeah, and I'm amazed by how far her vision goes, but one thing I'm not sure about is the cost of achieving all her dreams. I'm not sure she'll get the funding she's hoping for."

Patrick was confident that even Arthur would have abandoned the venture given its high investment value, so he felt confident in pressing the red button and declining the business proposal. To make up for it, he had crafted a very attractive offer for Sylvia and was sure he could entice her to work for him.

Patrick quickly pressed the red button on his desk, and a loud ringing sound echoed through the studio. "Don't take this as a rejection from me," he said, his voice full of reassurance. "I'm accepting you as my most VIP staff, a position no one has ever occupied. I truly believe in your talent, and I know you won't pass up this golden opportunity, right?"

Sylvia attempted to contain her frustration when Patrick denied her business offer, instead offering her another job. Yet, she still persisted, knowing that two more judges were left; she was determined to do whatever it took to obtain the desired funding.

"Mr. Todd," she began, her voice filled with hope, "I am willing to elaborate on this business plan in even greater detail to make it more appealing to you. I firmly believe that this venture has incredible potential for success in the future, and I earnestly hope you will consider my offer."

Cash Todd smiled warmly at Sylvia and said, "Sylvia, you really are very brilliant and smart, but this business idea of yours is just not reasonable. I'd love to recruit you to work for me, but I think you should take Mr. Winter's offer instead. Try to be more realistic and don't waste your time on something that won't work out. It's probably the best option for you."

With that, Cash pressed the red button, and in the end, Arthur was the only one who had yet to make a decision.

Sylvia shook her head slowly, her heart pounding faster with each passing second. The only hope she had was Arthur; at that moment, she turned to him, her eyes wide with anticipation.
