“Lain! Let her in.”

A trace of hatred flashed in Steven’s eyes. Then, he took out two pills from the drawer andswallowed them. This medicine was prepared for him by Matt

Although Matt couldn’t cure him, the medicine be prepared was still very effective. It just couldn’tbe taken too often or it would cause serious damage to the body.

The woman hurriedly exited the office and brought Lillian in a short while later.

“Leave and close the door behind you. No one is to enter without my permission,” Steven orderedthe woman.

Lillian instantly felt nervous, feeling the urge to flee. But remembering the company’s dire need forfunds, she forced herself to stay calm.

Steven sat on the couch with his legs crossed, asking, “Ms. Smith, you’re a rare visitor. I invited youseveral times before, but you never came. Today, you actually came to replace me on your owninitiative. I’m truly flattered”

Lillian replied awkwardly, “Mr. Harris, I’ve been so swamped with work lately. My sincerestapologies. I’m here to sincerely apologize.”

Steven waved his hand dismissively, “I’m not that petty. So, what brings you here?”

Lillian explained, “Our company, the Smith Group, has hit a rough patch. We need some capital toget through it. I was hoping you could lend a helping hand. I would be eternally grateful.”

Steven smirked knowingly “We’re friends, after all of course, I’ll help you out.”

“Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Harris!” Lillian was overcome with emotion. She had bracedherself for some outrageous demand, but Steven’s quick agreement surprised her

Steven pulled out a card and handed it to Lilian. “Here’s a million dollars. Take it. There’s no need topay me back.”

Lillian’s smile vanished instantly. “Mr. Harris, I need one billion dollars.”

“Ms. Smith, you’re asking for one billion dollars? Don’t tell me you think I run a bank?” Steventeased.

“Mr. Harris, consider it a loan for the Smith Group. I promise to repay you in full. With interest, ofcourse,” Lilian pleaded.

Steven gave a scomful laugh “Lillian, don’t play me for a fool. Everyone knows the Smith family ison the brink of bankruptcy. Investing in you would be throwing money down the drain”

“It won’t bel with one billion in working capital, the Smith Group can definitely weather this storm,”Lillian affirmed.

Steven stroked his chin, contemplating. “Loaning you one billion isn’t impossible, but I have onecondition.”

“What condition?” Lilian asked urgently.

“Marry me. As my wife, your family’s problems become mine. One billion dollars will be wired toyour company account immediately” Steven grabbed Lian’s hand, his eyes burning with desire.

“Mr. Harris, please don’t. I’m already married. Please make another condition.” Lillian pulled herhand away, politely refusing. Steven sneered, “Your marriage to that asshole Sebastian is just aformality Divorce him and I’ll marry you right away!

“No, absolutely not!” Lillian shook her head vehemently.

Steven’s expression darkened. “Lillian, don’t push your luck. I’m the only one who can save yourfamily now. Think carefully”

“Mr. Harris, even if I agreed, a divorce wouldn’t happen overnight. The Smith Group doesn’t havethat kind of time. Please, just help me. I’m begging you,” Lillian pleaded again. “you can take yourtime with the marriage thing, but for now, you need to take care of me…properly.”

Steven gave a lecherous grin and lunged toward Lillian..
