Chapter 780
The First Heir
Marthaâs wishful thinking was very meticulous. She would not force it if Wynn really did not like him, but
the more investments the better.
She refused to believe that someone would invest in Beacon for no good reason.
The other party had to be up to something.
It just so happened that Jacey returned at this time. She just came back from the company. Recently,
the companyâs business had declined and they were short of funds, so she was very busy.
As soon as she entered the door, Jacey made a face, obviously unhappy. She threw her handbag on
the sofa.
Everyone could tell that Jacey was in a bad mood.
At this time, Seth approached with a cheeky smile and said, âWhatâs the matter, Jacey? Are you still
worried about the company?â
As he said that, he served Jacey the tea that was prepared by Philip.
It was very well-played.
Jacey took a sip of the tea, then took out the gift she had prepared before handing it to Bradford She
said, âGrandpa, I wish you many happy returns of the day.â
Bradford happily accepted it and said, âGreat, my granddaughter is very sensible.â
Seth looked at the exchange quietly, his thoughts unknown.
Jacey sat down and sighed. âThe company is short of funds now. I really donât know what to do.â
Hearing this, the expressions on the Green familyâs faces collapsed.
This matter had troubled them for a long time.
Kirkâs wife made eyes at Kirk at this moment, and the latter hesitated for a while before saying, âWell,
Wynn, I overheard your discussion just now. I know that youâre now the chairman of the board, and
Beaconâs business is very good. You see, our foreign trading company is facing some cash flow
problems now, so do you think you can lend us ten million to turn things around?â
Ten million!
Instantly, the living room fell silent.
Irrelevant people pretended to be nonchalant, but Marthaâs family looked like they were sitting on pins
and needles.
Wynn said apologetically, âUncle, Iâm sorry, but I donât have so much money. Although Iâm the chairman
of the company, Iâm just a salaried employee myself.â
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Kirkâs family changed completely.
The only reason they invited Marthaâs family here today was just because of this.
Jacey stood up with a pained expression and turned to leave, saying, âDad, what did I tell you? They
wonât help us. Just think about the relationship between our two families. Theyâre not close to us, so
why would they help us? Itâs fine. I still have to go back to the company.â
This was their attitude of asking for help.
With a flushed face, Kirk looked at Wynn and continued, âWynn, just take it as Iâm begging you. Iâve
asked about your company. It has a lot of funds. Why donât you see if you can move some funds
around and give the money to us to turn things around? Donât worry, Iâll ask Jacey to return the money
to you as soon as possible.â
âWhat? Are you telling my daughter to embezzle funds from the company? No way! I wonât allow it!â
Martha was not stupid. When she heard this, she immediately jumped up and protested.
Kirk quickly explained to Martha, âSister-in-law, Iâm begging you. Without this money, our family will go
bankrupt!â
Kirk had really exhausted all alternatives before resorting to this.
Martha was adamant. âNo way. Thereâs no room for discussion regarding this.â
Kirk turned to beg Wynn instead. Wynn also looked helpless and said, âUncle, I really canât help you
with this. Itâs illegal to do that.â
Over there, Jacey stomped her foot, glared at Wynn fiercely, and scorned. âHmph, donât help if you
donât want to. Why are you being so pretentious? Do you really think youâre so high and mighty just
because youâre a chairman of a company? Who knows if you slept your way up? Dad, stop begging
her. Iâll take care of it myself.â
Jaceyâs words were a bit misleading.
Seth also jumped in and sneered, âOf course, she slept her way up. What a wh*re! How could she
become the chairman based on her capabilities? Pigs will fly!â
Suddenly!
An uncanny voice rang.
âWhat if I can help you?â
Philip stood up with a grim expression and said, âHowever, thereâs one condition. Jacey and Seth will
kneel and apologize to my wife for what they just said!â
No one expected Philip to stand out at this time. They exchanged glances with each other, looking at
Philip as if they were looking at an idiot.
