Victor was upstairs. This shabby building had no elevator all.
Ariana was still badly injured, so she could only climb the stairs at a snail’s pace with Simon’s support.
By the time they reached the study, Arlana was already sweating.
“Is Victor doing this on purpose? If he wants to talk, can’t he do it in the living room?”
Simon sighed and said, “He’s not that kind of person. He… night just want to give you a hard time.”
Hunter was walking ahead, listening to their conversation. His eyelid twitched slightly.
When
When they reached the door, Hunter opened it for them.
Victor sat at a table and told them to take a seat..
Ariana glanced around the study. It was nothing like most people’s studies. There was no desk or office chair, just a couch and a small table.
A few days ago, when Victor came to Gleaston, he had been staying at the Gleaston Grand Hotel. Now it looked like he had bought this place and planned to settle down in Gleaston.
“What are you staring at?” Victor glanced up at Ariana. “Sit
Simon helped her sit on the couch. Ariana limped so noticeably that it looked rather comical.
“Mr. Smith, what do you want from me? Just tell me. Why make me go through all this?”
If Brian found out she came here, he would definitely give her trouble again.
“The money has been transferred to Torrey Co. These are some shares I’m giving your company.
As he spoke, Victor placed a contract in front of Ariana.
At first glance, Ariana saw it was a Smith Corporation share transfer agreement. She didn’t dare open it yet and asked tentatively, “How much are you giving me?”
“Not much. 10%.”
Ariana drew a sharp breath. 10% was “not much“?
“Victor, you’re really something. 10% of Smith Corporation is enough to make me one of the major shareholders. If anything happens to you, I’ll go down with you. When did I ever offend you for you to set me up like this?”
“Ms. Torrey, calm down,” Simon said, gently urging Arian back onto the couch. Then, he turned to Victor with an accusing look. “Victor, that’s not right. She kindly sold you that land, and this is how you repay her?”
Even if he wanted to pursue her, this wasn’t the way to do it
Victor explained, “That 10% will bring you massive returns every month. I’m showing my goodwill. Why are you misunderstanding me?”
“Victor, I’m not an idiot. Everyone knows what kind of business you do overseas. Now that you’re back here, Gleaston isn’t some outlaw zone. If you get in trouble, your company’s legal representative goes down first, we shareholders also get investigated. That would drag me into it. Could I clear my name then?” It was money laundering, likely in the tens of billions. She‘ end up behind bars forever, or worse.
