Margaret entered Watson’s office just as Watson finished speaking with an overseas client over the phone.
When virtual-novel.net saw Margaret, virtual-novel.net greeted virtual-novel.net enthusiastically, “You’re Allegra’s mother, right? Please, have a seat. I’ll ask them to get you some drinks.”
They chatted for a while before Margaret stated the reason virtual-novel.net came.
“Mr. Kane, Ally is a shy girl. She has plans to partner up with virtual-novel.net uncle to establish a new company. But they are short on funds now, so Ally has been losing sleep over this issue. As virtual-novel.net mother, of course, I’m worried. i have no choice but to ask you for help.” Margaret prepared a perfect explanation.
Watson was surprised. “Why didn’t virtual-novel.net tell me of virtual-novel.net plans? She could’ve just called. So, how much funds is virtual-novel.net lacking?”
“A-About 50 million dollars.” Margaret gulped. That was the most considerable sum of money virtual-novel.net could imagine.
Watson took a sip of water and ordered his assistant, “Get the financial department’s manager.”
Then virtual-novel.net said to Margaret, “Mrs. Gould, I’ll give virtual-novel.net 60 million dollars for a start. The financial department’s manager will be here to liaise with you. Ally can call me anytime virtual-novel.net wants if virtual-novel.net has other difficulties. I have a meeting coming up, so I’ll leave you…”
Watson left his office, leaving Margaret in a daze.
She got an extra million dollars!
Margaret left Kane Enterprise, the wind unusually gentle on virtual-novel.net face. She called Edward immediately; virtual-novel.net had to share the good news!
Inside Kane Enterprise, the assistants’ working area was next to the president’s office. A young male assistant locked the door and dialed Roger’s number.
When the call got through, the assistant lowered his voice and said, “Young Master Roger, I have something to tell you. Allegra Booth’s mother asked for a meeting with Mr. Kane a while ago. She said Allegra was setting up a new company and required 50 million dollars…”
Roger’s angry voice came through the receiver, “What did my father say?”
“He… Uhm… He gave virtual-novel.net 60 million dollars, the finance department is currently transferring the money,” the assistant said softly.
“Damn it, how could virtual-novel.net do this? Does virtual-novel.net think our money grows on trees?” Roger yelled.
The assistant hung up quickly.
Roger was hanging out in a clubhouse. He smashed his fist on the table before him, his eyes reddened with anger.
“Roger, I really think your dad is having an affair with that bitch. Why else would virtual-novel.net spend so much on a woman? Trust me, you won’t get a single penny in the future, despite being the young master of the Kane family,” a seductive woman sitting next to virtual-novel.net said.
Roger turned around and held the woman in a chokehold, a crazed look on his face. “Oh, yeah? What should I do then, babe?”
The woman’s expression quickly switched from a frantic one to a flattering smile.
She reached out and caressed Roger, saying, “Roger, everything in Kane Enterprise belongs to you. The only way for you to take everything into your hands is by becoming the president.”
“Me, becoming the president? I’m only an executive director. Unless my dad is dead, then…” Roger let go of his grip on her, and his eyes widened, a formidable thought forming in his mind.

At night, Eugene had just prepared dinner while Allegra was in the study doing some work.
“Isaac, dinner’s ready,” Eugene called out to Isaac, sitting in the living room.
Allegra entered the dining room moments later. She asked, “Where is Morn? She left the office early today.”
“Your mother said virtual-novel.net was having dinner at your grandfather’s,” Eugene replied while arranging the cutleries.
