Chapter 421 The Benefactor

Daphne briefly explained the situation listlessly, probably due to lack of sleep the night before. “I have to- pay off the loan within a week, or else the factory will be auctioned off. I listed my car on the used car platform last night and arranged a meeting for later.”

Lysander glanced at her bright red sports car parked by the roadside and asked, “How much could it sell for?”

“I’m in dire need of money, so I have no choice but to sell it at a loss. I bought this car for over a million, and it hasn’t even hit five thousand kilometers yet, but the buyer only wanted to pay three hundred thousand.”

“Why don’t you check if there are any other potential buyers?

“Not many people can cough up this much cash in one go. I’ve asked others too, but most of them need to apply for a loan. The bank approval process alone would take at least fifteen working days, and I just can’t wait that long.” Daphne downed a cup of coffee.

Aside from the scent of coffee, Lysander also detected a faint hint of alcohol on her.

“Are you planning to sell your bags too?”

“Yeah. I’ve put them on sale.”

“How much money did Mr. Everhart borrow from the bank to build the factory?”

“Over ten million.”

“It still wouldn’t be enough even if you sold your car and bags.”

“Yeah, but I don’t know what I can do right now.” Daphne lowered her gaze. “In the past, my parents paved. the way for me, but now when I want to do something for them, I have no clue what to do. Hey, do you think Josiah would take a fancy to me? Would it work if I offered myself on your behalf?”

Lysander’s expression was grim. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Come on, I was just joking. Don’t look so sullen. It’s not like you owe me anything,” Daphne said.

She did feel indebted toward Daphne.
