Chapter 34 Unsuccessful Call For Investments

The Smiths could only sit in silent shock after seeing the Nine Tattoo Dragon get busted on TV.

Soon, Samuel Smith managed to figure out what had exactly happened to him using his connections.

After he hung up his last call, he gave his family a pained smile. "Apparently, a military chief was in

town with his troops for an anti-terrorism operation, and Big Brother Draco just happened to fall into

their trap."

The members of the family exchanged looks amongst themselves upon hearing that.

"No wonder Penny Smith could summon the elite fighters to deal with Big Brother Draco! Looks like

they just got lucky!" Paul Smith blurted out suddenly.

Sean Smith scowled, "That little bastard! How did she even get so lucky?"

"Dad, I believe that it's time to increase pressure on Penny Smith." Samuel Smith

said.

Sean Smith frowned. "With Dan Hugh in prison, how else are you going to force Penny Smith to hand

over the project?"

"Joseph Myers from the Central Summit Corporation has expressed his interest in this project,"

explained Samuel Smith with a smile.

"I can try persuading him to pressure Penny Smith into handing the project over."

Sean Smiths' eyes lit up immediately.

"Central Summit is a robust company, so I highly doubt that Cross will stand a chance if they enter the

picture."

"She'll definitely come back to us once she realizes that she's in deep trouble."

"If that happens, the project will come back to us once and for all.”

Samuel Smith nodded before continuing, "That's right. Once we wrestle back ownership of the project,

we can work in tandem with Central Summit to complete it. Perhaps we can even propose marriage

between our kids and their kids so that we can join the ranks of the Myers family."

Sean Smith was slightly taken aback. "Marriage? What do you mean?"

Samuel Smith gave him a nasty grin. "Joseph Myers has also expressed interest in marrying Penny Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Smith, Dad."

Everyone was shocked at the sound of that.

Joseph Myers was a fifty-year-old man who had gotten married three times, only for all of his wives to

die early.

Even so, he still ranked high amongst the nobility of Channing, considering his position as CEO of the

Central Summit Corporation.

Sean Smith frowned. "Penny Smith had a child outside of wedlock, and I don't even know what's going

on between her and that jerk Nathan Cross. Would Mr. Myers even agree to this?”

Samuel Smith's smile was unwavering. "You don't have to worry about that, Dad. Mr. Myers is

especially fond of young women like Penny Smith.”

Samuel Smith heaved a sigh of relief, "Fine then. If that's true, then I guess that little bastard can thank

the Gods."

For the next few days, workers commissioned by the Cross Corporation worked tirelessly to demolish

the aged buildings at Asiatic Village.

Every shovel of dirt they threw aside was like the money that was poured into this project.

Since the start of the project, the Cross Corporation's funds were constantly draining out their

inventories.

Penny Smith had taken five million from Nathan Cross as start-up funds when she had first set up the

Cross Corporation.

He threw another twenty million into the mix soon after they had started on the project.

Even so, Cross Corporation's budget was still rather tight.

Penny Smith began to worry about money, yet she did not bring it up in front of Nathan Cross.

She figured that Nathan Cross had already spent a lot on cars, houses and Cross Corporation itself, so

she did not want to burden him any further.

However, the Asiatic Shopping Mall construction project was still in its early stages, and they would

need a ton of money to pay for both current and future expenses.

Penny Smith pondered over it for a long time, and she figured that the only way to get around this issue

would be to get sponsorship.

She actively sought out several reputable foundations and presented them with the business plans she

had carefully curated

beforehand.

To her horror, all of them rejected her proposal.

Most of them were fond of the project but were concerned with how inexperienced Penny Smith was

with managing such a young company.

As a result, Penny Smith could not get a single partnership.
