Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Zara's words sparked an idea in Chloe's mind.

"This is a great idea!" Chloe exclaimed.

According to the contract, she and Grant were in a bet, essentially making them adversaries. If she could convince the Martin Family to invest in her new company, it wouldn't be considered a breach of contract.

However, she felt this idea was a bit far-fetched.

The Martin Family would never invest in her new company.

Just at this moment, Philip, who overheard Chloe and Zara discussing financial matters, moved closer to them.

As an actor the company was about to promote, Philip shared his perspective.

He spoke bluntly, "Ms. Jenkins, how could you say that? Asking Chloe to get money from the Martin Family? Sure, they have money, but they're not idiots."Chloe and Grant from the Martin Family have a bet. If Chloe earns more than Grant, she can annul the engagement. Grant is a shrewd man. Do you think he would invest in Chloe?"

Philip's words were harsh but true.

"Well, the Martin Family has more wealthy members than just Grant. If Chloe can't get money from him, she can ask someone else, right?" Zara argued. "Like Michael? Or Liam... They seem to have money too,"

Philip explained, "Michael definitely has money, but do you think he would invest in Chloe? He's extremely timid; just a look from Grant could scare him away. Besides, if Grant found out that his own brother invested in Chloe, there would definitely be some serious familial pressure exerted on him, wouldn't there?"

And Liam. From the very first day Chloe entered the Martin Family, he has looked down on her. On top of that, the goddess incident made him feel betrayed by Chloe. With such a strong prejudice against her, do you think he would ever invest in Chloe?"

Philip's words made sense.

For a moment, Zara couldn't argue back. After all, he was stating facts.

Previously, to avoid the engagement, Chloe had caused a lot of trouble in the Martin Family, often bullying Michael and Liam. Now, she needed money and wanted to borrow it from them? Impossible.

Floyd stood there, motionless, quietly listening to their financial woes.

Before being signed to Chloe's small company, Grant had specifically called him over and warned him.

He was just an actor wanting to make it in the entertainment industry. If he dared to make any other moves, Grant would break his legs.

So, Floyd saw himself as a struggling actor waiting for his big break.

Worried that Zara and Philip might continue arguing, Chloe intervened. "Alright, stop worrying about the money. I'll handle the financing on my own. I see that Mr. Larson is done with his business now; let's go over and have a word with him."

With that, Chloe, Zara, Philip, and Floyd approached Travis.

Zara introduced herself first, "Mr. Larson, I'm Mr. Gibson's niece. I called you earlier to schedule a meeting to discuss a potential collaboration."

Zara humbled herself, knowing she was working for a small media company with no real backing.noveldrama

Hearing Zara's introduction, Travis didn't even bother to look up.

He spoke rapidly to Zara, "What's there to discuss about the cooperation? Aren't you just a small media company? Let me tell you this, as long as you prepare money enough, I can plan any kind of show for you. Promoting someone isn't a difficult task at all. Here's the deal-have your company transfer tens of millions of dollars to my account first, and then we'll talk specifics."

Travis demanded money right away, asking for millions as if everyone's money grew on trees.

Zara was speechless at Travis's words.

Chloe frowned.

After a brief moment of thought, Chloe voiced her idea. "Mr. Larson, shouldn't you provide us with an investment plan before we transfer any money? Or perhaps we should sign a contract first. Isn't that how business is done?"

Chloe's words made Travis, who was discussing a scene with an actor, turn his face. He looked at Chloe with disdain.

"Who are you?" Travis asked Chloe, clearly annoyed.

Zara quickly and respectfully said, "Mr. Larson, this is Miss Davis from Summit Media Solutions..."

Before Zara could finish, Travis interrupted. "I don't care who she is from Summit Media Solutions. Ms. Jenkins, I'm very busy. If it weren't for Mr. Gibson from the Gibson Group being your uncle, do you think I would have time to meet you?

People with large sums of money are lining up to work with me. I asked you to transfer the money first, and you feel wronged?

Let me tell you, If I couldn't get the money, you won't even have a chance to work with

me.

I'm already very displeased. You can leave now."

With just a few sentences, Travis dismissed Chloe and her team.

The staff members who were currently recording the variety show all looked over in

this direction. They seemed unhappy with Travis's demands, but had no choice but to comply.

Chloe was furious.

Just as she was about to retort, Zara pulled her aside to calm her down.

"Chloe, don't be mad. Brian warned me that Mr. Larson has a bad temper." Chloe disagreed, "Is it a bad temper? He has no professional ethics. He talks about collaboration but doesn't provide any specifics and demands such a large sum? Why?" "Because of his high status in the entertainment industry. Didn't you see those actors? When he scolds them, they don't even dare to argue," Zara reminded Chloe. Indeed, during the reality show recording, Travis had scolded an actor, who ended up crying but didn't dare to fight back.

After all, Travis controled their careers. Chloe was livid.
