Chapter 168: My Brother-in-law Can Be a Guarantor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Joseph Lopez left with his wife, Serenity drove over from the parking lot and parked by the roadside to wait.
An hour and a half later, President Linde and the others came out of the restaurant. She opened the car door and got out of the car. “President Linde, you should have some time now, right?”
“No,” said President Linde without hesitation.
Even though she was embarrassed again, she still smiled. “We can find a teahouse and chat while drinking tea. 1 won’t take up too much of your time and it’s also good to have tea after dinner.”
President Linde finally lost his patience and sarcastically said, “Your dad can’t bear to put his ego aside to speak to me directly, so he asked you to come?”
But Benjamin Rivers did not know that she had come to look for President Linde. She only thought of this when she passed by Benjamin and Helena’s bedroom the night before yesterday, overhearing them discussing a business marriage.
Helena Turner had always felt that she owed Serenity, so she naturally opposed it. However, Benjamin Rivers had repeatedly explained to her the current financial crisis facing the Rivers family. If they did not have another business marriage, the Rivers family would not be able to continue.
When Serenity heard that, she took a deep breath. This was related to her future, so even if the other party repeatedly humiliated her, she had to swallow her anger. “My dad has been very busy recently. When he has time, he will treat you to a meal and tea.”
President Linde glared at her. “Miss Serenity, I will make things clear today. The Rivers Group is facing bankruptcy. Without any guarantee, Huff ord Bank will not lend you a loan. Even if you come to me every day, the result will still be the same. So you don’t have to waste your time on me.”
She lowered her tone. “My brother-in-law is John Grant. He can be the guarantor.”
Everyone in Andalas knew that John had married the eldest daughter of the Rivers family. However, if Rivers Group was on the verge of collapse, and yet John Grant had not made any moves, claiming him as the guarantor was no longer convincing.
President Linde was a shrewd person, so he had already thought about this. “If President Grant is free, we can arrange a time to have a meal together.”
The older the ginger, the spicier it was. Serenity sighed softly, “He’s on a business trip now and will only be back in a few days.”
“Then let’s talk when President Grant comes back.” President Linde’s assistant had already driven the car over from the parking lot. President Linde walked around her and got into his car.
With Rivers Group’s current situation, it was still unknown how long it could last. John’s return date for this business trip was also not fixed.
Serenity held the phone in her hand and wanted to call him a few times, but she held back in the end.
Business trip or not, all John needed to do was make a phone call to President Linde and everything was settled.
After a moment of hesitation, she finally lost the courage to make the call. She put the phone back into her bag and drove after President Linde.
President Linde’s assistant noticed her car following them from the rearview mirror and said, “President Linde, Miss Serenity has been following us.”
“Don’t worry about her.” President Linde frowned.
Serenity sped up and overtook President Linde’s car, catching the driver off guard. The assistant forgot to step on the brakes and crashed into her car. Fortunately, he turned the steering wheel to the side in a final moment of desperation.
Serenity’s head hit the steering wheel with a bang and warm liquid flowed down her head, blurring her vision.
She shook her head, but her eyes were still dizzy. She pinched her palms to force herself to wake up. Then, she pushed open the door and got out of the car.. “President Linde…”
