Trapped By Tainted Love

"I’ll be offering thirty percent higher than the market price in exchange for the three–months waiting period.The Bennet Group is struggling to keep itself afloat.You don‘t have any use for it.Even if it goes bankrupt, you‘ll gain nothing from it in the end.It‘ll be better for you to just sell it to me for a profit, yes!"

"For a profit, huh? That sounds like a good deal," Victor said with a wry smile.

"It seems that I underestimated you, Rachel."

Rachel knew that it was best not to confront him head on for now.

She lowered her gaze and said, "My mother left the fate of the Bennet Group to me.No matter what happens, I can‘t let it end in my hands.If you think the offer isn‘t high enough, you can negotiate for a higher price, and I‘ll try my best to fulfill it."

If she couldn‘t afford Victor‘s final offer, Rachel figured she could just take hacking orders in public rather than in the forum.

That way, even if Victor‘s asking price for the Bennet Group was twice its original value, it wouldn‘t be a problem for her.

Right now, he was staring at her in silence.

He had heard about the will leit by her mother when Ivan reported it to him, but it would be impossible for Rachel to buy the entire Bennet Group with the little money she got from her inheritance, But for some reason, she didn‘t seem like she was just talking big.

 ‘Where is she supposed to get that much money?‘ Victor looked at Rachel, examining her face.

Her eyelashes were slightly trembling, her nose was prominent yet small, and her supple lips were like cherry blossoms.

Aside from that, her white dress highlighted her graceful figure, as a matter of fact, Rachel was just as beautiful as her mother when Elisa was still young.

However, Rachel had always appeared in front of everyone wearing heavy makeup and weird clothing, which made people overlook her natural beauty.

To them, they just saw her as an impolite and ill–bred lady; a waste of space.

Victor thought Rachel was stunningly charming when he saw her in the Crown Club last time, but he never imagined that her temperament would change as well by just changing into a different set of clothes.

With this kind of beauty, it was enough for a man to be tempted and spend all of his money on her.

When that thought crossed Victor‘s mind, his eyes dimmed.

Suddenly, the air around him dropped a few degrees.

"You want me to name my price, huh? You‘re a generous lady, Miss Rachel Bennet."

Rachel didn‘t say anything, but she looked at him with all seriousness.
