Chapter 320
Feeling humiliated just then, lan snapped, “What do you think you’re doing. Dad?!”
Having an affair at his age?
Quincy would flip out if she knew!
In fact, lan himself was already losing his mind!
Still, he worked hard to cool his temper and stopped himself from getting in the car to drag the woman
out. “Tell her to get out of your car right now!”
Kathy York was startled right then, and promptly threw herself into Greg’s arms.
Greg naturally felt protective seeing that his sweetheart was frightened, and shot his son a glare, “Don’t
think you can order me around just because you became CEO of Light Group. I’m still your father-and
you don’t ever get to talk to me like that!”
With that, he shut the door in lan’s face and snapped at his chauffeur to drive, leaving lan shaking with
rage.
Robin walked up to him gingerly, and tried to assure him, “Maybe it’s not what you think…”
“What, does it only count if I catch them in bed?!” lan was wheezing, feeling down in the dumps just
then.” I think you should go. I don’t think I can take you home today.”
“Okay…” Robin murmured.
She was certainly reluctant since it was a rare chance for her to meet lan’s parents. Even so, her
feelings did not matter after what just happened, and had to accept that as reality.
As for lan, he headed straight home… but could not say a word when he actually saw Quincy.
He knew his mother’s temper, and that if she found out, she would definitely go to war with Greg.
And at the moment, they had yet to rein in Light Group back on the right track, and he would rather not
have family troubles on his plate too.
Light Group was lan’s priority… but as things go, the more you care, the more you would lose it.
Just two weeks after the 80 million dollar investment into James Cross’s Eastdawn, the man called him,
saying. “Sorry, lan, but we ran into a snag. We’re going to need more capital.”
lan had been in a bad mood since learning about Greg’s affair, and James’s request for additional
capital left him even more annoyed.
“I thought you said the development is in its final phase?” he asked with an edge in his voice. “Are you
saying that the 80 million I injected isn’t enough? What happened?”
“Yes, we wouldn’t have needed a second injection if things had gone smoothly, but there’s an issue
now. It’s alright if you’re not interested-we have other interested parties..”
“We have an agreement,” lan growled, cutting him short. “It’s stated in black-and-white that we’re your
sole partners. You’re breaching the agreement if you find someone else!”
“Yes, but my company is this close! Am i supposed to just give up on all the capital spent on the
development instead of finding solutions? James became harsh and direct as well. “I didn’t want to say
it, but you definitely don’t have Isaac Jefferson’s mettle. Do you remember how everyone only had
praise
for him back when he was in charge? He’s even famous for throwing money into risky projects-”
“What is that supposed to mean?” lan was already upset, and the mention of Isaac only worsened his
mood. “Are you calling me stingy?”
James, however, was not afraid to provoke him with an agreement signed. “Yes, you’re stingy,” he said
shortly. “Your company is worth billions, and we’re just asking for 150 million, but you’re already getting
cagey. How is that not stingy?”
Ian frowned. “What was that? 150 million?”
“Uh-huh.”
“I’ve already given you 80 million!” lan was left heaving, and it felt like his chest was burning from sheer
frustration. “And you’re asking for 150 million dollars not a few days later? What am I, a money-printing
machine?!”
Nothing was going his way at all!
“Development like this has always been a money burner-”
“This isn’t even a money burner! You’re basically using dollar bills like toilet paper!”
Nonetheless, lan took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing. “Fine, let’s cut the crap. Give
me a precise amount and make sure there won’t be more issues this time, and I’ll give you the capital.
Also, do you actually have an ETA for the project’s completion?”
“I’ve already told you: we’re in the final phase. It’s just an accident and no one wanted that. Also, I
know that you’ve poured a lot of money into us, but you should already have known that I’ve bet my
bottom dollar on this. I won’t lie to you-I’ve spent over a billion on this, and failure means bankruptcy for
me. That’s why I would never let this fail, and I apologize if I have been rude. It’s just that a setback
when we’re so close hurts me too, and I should have chosen my words better as well. I hope I have
your understanding…”
lan certainly could not say more after James put it that way.
Also, James had invested over a billion, while he only invested 80 million. Ian was still going to make a
killing even if he invested more, since he would get half the profits once the component was finished
and
marketed.
“How much do you need?” lan asked.
