Chapter 93 - High Investment Businesses
Cash Todd pressed the red button shortly after Patrick had done so. He didn't want to waste time with
such an utterly unreasonable project, as the investment value was too great and the potential was
unpredictable.
The disappointment was clear on Sylvia's face, but she still tried to calm down. Arthur's only hope
remained. She wanted to fulfill the dream she had been planning for the last few years and even
sacrificed everything. Therefore, she really depended on that night's program.
Patrick, who had been sitting in his chair, suddenly stood up and walked towards the stage. He smiled
faintly at the girl who was standing there in confusion. “Hm,” he muttered under his breath.
He was trying to make the night a little more lively, and he wanted to show how powerful he was in front Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
of this young and fragile girl. He was sure that this time he would really find a new toy - a young girl
with a silly dream but extraordinary looks and beauty.
He gulped nervously, envisioning the possibilities with Sylvia. As he stepped closer, he noticed her
complexion had become even clearer. "She's absolutely perfect," he murmured admiringly. "Not a
single blemish or scar. I really want her."
Patrick was determined not to let the stunning Sylvia slip through his fingers. As if finding a precious
gem along the roadside, his keen and dexterous gaze quickly identified her potential. With minimal
effort, he saw the prospect of profiting even further from her. "I'm not going to let her get away," he
declared confidently.
Sylvia felt shocked and cautious when Patrick, for some reason, suddenly walked onto the stage.
"What is that guy doing?" she muttered. "He even pressed the red button for me. What did he come
here for? Did he think I would be seduced with just that stupid offer?"
Sylvia took a deep breath, her presentation having been delayed, and she glared at Patrick with a look
of disgust. Although Sylvia was unaware of Patrick's true identity, for some inexplicable reason she
harbored a deep animosity towards him. What wrong had he done to incur her wrath? "He looks like a
heartless mafia boss," she thought to herself.
Arthur clicked his tongue in frustration, shaking his head at the mess Patrick had made. As he had
expected, The Underworld were people who seemed to do whatever they pleased, and this time,
Patrick had done something stupid, despite the fact that many people were watching him.
"Judging from what Aston had done before," He said, "I get the feeling that Patrick is the kind of person
who wouldn't hesitate to use a firearm to accomplish his goals. But I'm sure he wouldn't pull such a
stunt at a live event like this."
However, Arthur deliberately delayed some time so that more people would understand how impolite
and depraved rich men were, especially Patrick, who did have a big criminal and mafia background.
There would be a time for Arthur to destroy them completely.
"Hey, let's see, this looks like it's going to be something interesting?" said one of them.
"What do you mean?" another asked.
"Patrick definitely couldn't stand the sight of Sylvia, that's why he tried to approach her directly on
stage," the first replied.
"Are you crazy? What kind of show do you think this is? Take me out? This is Business Takeover!"
“I'm not that crazy, but with such an attractive appearance, any man with enough money would do
anything to grant Sylvia's wish. At least that's what I would do if I had a lot of money. But unfortunately,
I can only watch from the audience seats right now.”
"It would indeed," agreed a third. "It would be great to be able to see Sylvia's beautiful face every day."
"Hello, Ms. Sylvia," Patrick greeted with a mischievous smile.
“You know, it's been a great night. You really caught a lot of people's attention with your presentation. I
really admire you, haha.” Patrick's hands tried to grab Sylvia's shoulders, but she quickly stepped back.
“Hey, what are you doing? Are you shy?” Patrick asked, “Shouldn't we get to know each other better
before you become part of my company? You didn't mean to offend me with what you did, did you?”
Patrick continued, laughing.
Patrick was irritated that Sylvia had rejected him and stepped back, narrowing his eyes. "This girl is so
brave, how arrogant she is," he thought to himself. "I'll make sure she learns a lesson when she's
already walked into my trap. I will make her regret having dared to act like that in front of me."
Patrick tried to melt the tense atmosphere that had made him feel humiliated in front of many people,
forcing a broad and threatening laugh.
"Ms. Sylvia, I've made an attractive offer for you, don't you think? I'm sure it's the best choice for you.
I'm sure there won't be any investors who are willing to finance your business plan; it's too expensive.
So you should consider my offer and come with me. I'll make sure all your needs are met."
Cash Todd watched them from the jury chair, his smile smug and his eyes mischievous. He was sure
the girl would take Patrick up on his offer, and he imagined what it would be like to spend the night with
a beautiful, charming young girl.
"Humph," Sylvia turned her head away, taking deep breaths in an effort to stay calm. She smiled faintly
with an irritated expression. She knew very well what a man like Patrick would do.
She had met many men like Patrick before; they would only look down on women and play with their
money as if their money could buy anything they wanted.
"No, sir, thank you for your offer," replied Sylvia politely but firmly. "I have a reason to defend my
business idea and I know there's still a chance for me."
"Wow...she really dared to refuse Patrick's offer," exclaimed one of the audience.
"I'm sure she's too naive with her dream; where is there anyone who will finance her with that much
money?"
"She'll definitely regret her choice now," answered another.
Patrick didn't stay silent; he was still trying to approach and persuade Sylvia. He stepped slowly
towards her, but she also slowly dodged.
It annoyed him, but he also felt he had to be careful. If he did something stupid in front of many people,
it would change the views of others about him. "You slut," Patrick muttered. "I'll teach you some
manners," he continued.
Just as Patrick was about to grab Sylvia's wrist, there was suddenly a loud ringing sound, indicating
someone had pressed the green button. Patrick, Sylvia, and the audience immediately turned to the
source of the sound. And sure enough, what happened then was that Arthur had pressed the green
button, indicating that he had agreed to Sylvia's business proposal.
“Is he crazy?” Patrick muttered under his breath when he saw what Arthur was doing.
Arthur then suddenly stood up and calmly spoke. "I'm sorry, Mr. Winter. Can I talk to her for a second?
I'm intrigued by Ms. Sylvia and I hope you'll allow me to continue my interview with her."
At that moment, all the spectators were shocked by Arthur's choice. Someone whose identity they
didn't recognize at first had suddenly boldly demonstrated his wealth. In a short time, Arthur had really
shown that he could acquire some businesses with the usually super-expensive prices.
