Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 790 You’ll Help Me, Right?

“Adelpha, listen to me…” Lyra hastily went after Adelpha to comfort her.

As soon as they left, only Elise and Onyx remained in the living room. Elise ignored Onyx as she went into the kitchen. She grabbed a serving of brownies, then sat at the dining table, leisurely enjoying the dessert.

Onyx hesitated for a bit, then walked over to sit next to her. For some time, noticing no reaction from Elise, he finally couldn’t help it and turned around. He placed a hand on the table and another on the back of Elise’s chair, then began talking.

“Anastasia, there’s only the two of us now, so I’ll get straight to the point. My friends and I have set our sights on an investment project, but we’re lacking start-up capital. Can I loan some money with your deed? I won’t trouble you, but you just have to sign your name for me. Is that okay?”

Elise lowered the spoon in her hand, then turned to look at him emotionlessly. “You won’t trouble me? My dear father, you speak of it so lightly, but if you use my property as a guarantee to help you in your investment, if anything happens, we won’t be able to get the money back. This house, the only thing Mom left behind, might also be confiscated by the bank and sold off. Do you think my intelligence would drop once I get pregnant?”

“Of course not! A friend introduced this project, and the profit is guaranteed. We don’t have any reason to let go of a chance to earn money, do we?” Onyx was all smiles and not the least bit angry.

“Scammers love scamming people they know. I think there’s no need to put your entire property on the line for your first venture.” Elise didn’t like arguing with him.

“People get scammed because they’re not friends enough. I’ve known this friend for decades, so where could he possibly go? He won’t scam me. This project looks really promising, and I don’t want to miss this opportunity. Anastasia, you’ll help me, won’t you?” Onyx carefully observed her reaction.

Elise had a mocking expression on her face. “You always hated businessmen, complaining that they’re money-minded and let greed cloud their judgment. Why are you so intent on going into the business field now?”

Onyx’s expression changed. He looked a little sullen as he sat back quietly. “Times change, after all. You’re pregnant now, and it’s about time to prepare wedding gifts for Adelpha. As your father, I should put in some effort for you two.”
