Chapter 113

I didn’t even want the salary anymore and was about to leave when Winston suddenly called again. “Ralda, once you finish the evening’s investment negotiations, you may leave.”

I pursed my lips. “The project secretary team leader has been overseeing this project and has taught me everything I know. You should take her; it’s more reliable.”

Today, I was devastated by a series of setbacks, and my mood was collapsing. I had no energy. If I had followed them, it might have caused them trouble.

Winston fell silent for a few seconds. “For this project, I’ll give you a commission. Even if you resign, as long as it’s successful, I’ll give you 5%. Is that okay?”

This… I don’t know why Winston insisted on my involvement. In terms of knowledge and experience, I’m not qualified.

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, I was about to refuse. He continued, “Ralda, honestly, this project is relatively niche, and everyone believes it will be a loss, so few investors are willing to participate.”

But I felt it had great potential and was worth a try. Once successful, the profits would multiply several times over, and our company would gain a great reputation.

You see, this company was established only a few years ago, and I recently returned to my home country. I didn’t have many resources, so I’m relying solely on this project to turn things around. So, Ralda, I really hoped you could help me secure this investment.

“But I don’t have that ability.” I felt Winston thought too highly of me. As a destitute heiress with no money, resources, or abilities, how could I help him secure investments? Moreover, with so many talented individuals in the company, wouldn’t it be more effective to let them handle negotiations?

From what he said, this project is crucial to the company's future development. I, an inexperienced newcomer, dare not take on such a responsibility. If I messed up, the consequences would be severe.

I pursed my lips. “Winston, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s that my abilities are limited. You should let someone more experienced handle this.”

Chapter 113 (Continued)

Winston remained silent for a few seconds. “Actually, among the investors I met, the biggest one was Jonathan.”

“What?” I was truly shocked.

Winston said, “I know you have a connection with Jonathan, and if you spoke to him, he might help.”

“No, I… I’m not familiar with him.” Whenever Jonathan is mentioned, I’m reminded of Reynaldo. They’re brothers. If I help Winston, will Jonathan tell Reynaldo? Will Reynaldo go crazy in front of me again?

My mind raced. Winston said, “I know this is difficult, but I have no other choice.” You also know my family situation. Our generation has no property or connections. I’m the second youngest Humphrey, but I have to build my career from scratch. My eldest brother has succeeded, and I don’t want to be overshadowed. “Ralda, can you help me, please?”

I was hesitant. Jonathan, that big mouth, tells Reynaldo everything. I’m afraid that Reynaldo…

Just as I was thinking, Winston said, “Didn’t you say you’d pay me back? If you help secure the investment, the twenty million can be offset.”

I was startled. “How can this be?” “What’s wrong with that?” Winston chuckled bitterly. “If this project succeeds, the profits will be billions, and my resources and connections will increase. Twenty million is insignificant.”

I still hesitated. I was really scared of Jonathan. In a moment of hesitation, Winston sighed sadly and smiled. “Never mind, Ralda, this is too difficult. I’ll find another solution.”

“Wait…” I pursed my lips. “That night, I went with you.”

“Really?” Winston exclaimed excitedly. “Thank you, Ralda. Thank you so much.”
