Aries said with a mocking tone, “Winnie, do you think you can solve the problem by lying like this? What kind of existence is the Bode Villas? You went to ask their manager for financing and they agreed to it just like that?”
“Yeah, at this point, you better just tell the truth. Besides, why would they offer to give you 50 million dollars?”
“After all, Bode Villas is under Youssie Corporation. I bet they’ve never even heard about the name of our company!”
After collecting themselves, everyone started questioning Winnie one after another. Winnie didn’t say anything. She just took out the contract she signed at that time and placed it in front of Aries.
She said, “If you don’t believe me, you can just look at this contract. After we discussed it, they asked me to let Grandpa have a look. If everything’s alright, we can ask someone to go and sign the contract.”
Everyone looked at the contract in Winnie’s hands in shock. They all seemed like they couldn’t believe it.
Aries still couldn’t accept such a thing. He looked at Winnie and said, “Winnie, you’re truly impressive. I can’t believe you took out such a contract in order for us to believe you.”
“Did you forge it? Will you be kicked out when you take this back to their manager?”
“Yeah, you’re really good at lying now!”
“…”
“That’s enough!” the Duke of Rolle read the contract for a bit and said loudly.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the Duke of Rolle and saw that his face was full of joy, which made them a bit dumbfounded.
Aries also frowned as he looked at the Duke of Rolle and said, “Grandpa, so what Winnie said is true?!”
He was supposed to go there originally!
Thinking of this, Aries regretted it so much that even his intestines turned pale. Apparently, the manager of Bode Villas was surprisingly easy to deal with. He should have gone there himself if he knew!
Now that Winnie got this contract, it could be said that Aries had done her a great favor!
The Duke of Rolle could certainly tell whether this contract was real or fake, as his face was flushing out of excitement right now.
After all, this financing was a very good opportunity for them. People at Bode Villas even promised to invest 50 million dollars!
They only asked for 6% of the shares of Rolle Corporation in exchange for so much money. In other words, they were basically giving Rolle Corporation the money!
The Duke of Rolle read over the contract carefully several times before giving it back to Winnie. He said with a kind look, “Winnie, you truly did a huge favor for the company this time!”
“You’ll be in charge of this matter in the future. If you need help, just tell me. I’ll definitely support you!”
Winnie had been in the Rolle family for so long, but this was the first time she saw the kind side of the Duke of Rolle, so she was also a bit surprised in her mind.
But no matter what, it was a good thing for Winnie.
A smile appeared on Winnie’s face. She then looked at Aries.
This made Aries feel like Winnie was challenging his dignity.
Winnie looked at Aries and said, “You haven’t forgotten the bet we made before, have you? Now that I successfully got the deal, shouldn’t you do what you promised?”
Aries was extremely furious. He said, “Winnie, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? I was just joking with you back then. Did you take it seriously?”
“If I didn’t exchange companies with you that day, do you think you would be capable of getting the funding this easily?”
Winnie glanced over everyone and looked at Aries again. She said, “Joking? If I hadn’t succeeded in getting the funding, would you have said that you were joking when we made the bet?”
“I bet you’d have asked me to sever my relationship with the Rolle family in front of everyone and get out of here!”
Then, Winnie looked at everyone else here. “I bet at that time, everyone here would also nag at me and ask me to kneel here, right?”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on everyone’s faces upon hearing that. They had no idea what to say.
Winnie looked at the Duke of Rolle with hope in her eyes. Apparently, she wanted the Duke of Rolle to deal with this fairly.
However, the Duke of Rolle only glanced at Winnie and ignored her.
Seeing this scene, Winnie was very frustrated. Even though she got 50 million dollars for the company, Aries was still that important grandson in the heart of the Duke of Rolle.
Winnie looked at Aries and said, “In fact, I don’t really care if you’re joking, because I don’t need you to kowtow and apologize.”
“But after this, I believe that you should have realized you’re not the most impressive person. Everyone here is more outstanding than you are!”
Aries’ expression was so sullen, as if a storm was about to break out. Although this incident had passed, what Winnie said just now made Aries even more angry.
In the end, Winnie didn’t want to stay here any longer. She said goodbye to the Duke of Rolle and was planning to go to seal the deal with the contract.
This put a beaming smile on the delighted face of the Duke of Rolle.
When Winnie thought about Aries’ expression just then after going out, she felt extremely pleasant.
After returning to the house she rented at night, she saw that the dining table in the living room was full of dishes Alger made, which made Winnie’s heart feel very warm.
She looked at Alger and said, “I have something to tell you.”
“What’s wrong? Can’t we wait until we finish dinner?” Alger said as he looked at Winnie.
“We’re not eating here. I told my Mom I’d go home for dinner tonight,” Winnie shook her head and said.
What surprised Winnie was that Alger agreed without any hesitation.
When Winnie came home, Madam Bella immediately went forward and grabbed Winnie’s hands excitedly right after seeing her. She said, “You’re truly impressive!”
“I can’t believe you roped the manager of Bode Villas in. Really, you have no idea how surprised I was when your cousin told me about this at that time.”
Winnie’s cousin, Jenny, was the only person who was close to Winnie in the Rolle family. Normally, if something happened to Winnie, she would tell Madam Bella about it.
So, Madam Bella always received news about Winnie right away.
Seeing Madam Bella’s joyful face, Winnie was also very happy. Seeing Winnie smile, Alger also felt content.
But when Madam Bella saw Alger, her smile immediately disappeared. She scolded him without hesitation, “Why are you smiling? You still have the nerve to smile?”
“Why would our Winnie be with a loser like you? Seriously, you’re lucky that our Winnie is very impressive. Otherwise…”
“Hey, Mom, that’s enough…” Winnie looked at Alger and said quickly. She then said to Alger, “Go help my father cook.”
“Hm.” Alger nodded before walking into the kitchen.
Madam Bella glared at Alger with dissatisfaction.. She found this son-in-law of hers a real eyesore no matter how she looked at him.
