This time, Benjamin Lawrence hesitated.
It wasn’t that he didn’t really need the help.
In fact, he needed it badly now.
The Lawrence family was in a mess, and he had been running around recently trying to raise investment and loans, but few people were willing to work with him.
He was so worried about the investment and loans that he couldn’t eat or sleep properly.
It could be said that Frank Parker’s offer of help came at just the right time.
He was the young master of the Parker family.
A simple gesture from him could easily solve his pressing problems.
"Mr. Parker, if it’s not too much trouble for you, I... I hope you can help invest in a project for the Lawrence Group. I’ll send you the project proposal once I get back, and I assure you that it’s a profitable project that won’t cause you any losses."
"Of course, if Mr. Parker feels the proposal is not suitable, you can disregard it."
After finishing his request hesitantly, Benjamin nervously waited for Frank’s response.
He was worried that Frank might think he was asking for too much.
Unexpectedly, Frank agreed without any hesitation.
"You can send the investment proposal to my assistant. I’ll inform him about this matter, and he’ll get in touch with you. How much investment do you need?"
Benjamin looked at him in surprise and excitement, "Mr. Parker, are you willing to invest?"
He didn’t expect Frank to agree so quickly.
Frank nodded, "I promised you a favor and I won’t go back on my word."
This man was the father of his lifesaver, so Frank didn’t mind helping Benjamin once.
For him, this little help was nothing.
What he owed his benefactor was far more than just this.
If... the person who saved him back then was really Joanna, he would treat her well in the future. He would double the compensation for everything she should have received over the years.
How foolish he had been back then.
He had mistaken his lifesaver for someone else.
He had trusted Rebecca Kelloway too much.
He believed everything she said.
He never doubted her.
Benjamin excitedly told Frank the amount of investment needed, which was indeed a small sum for Frank.
So Frank agreed without hesitation.
Benjamin never thought that he would be able to solve his problems by relying on Frank, after failing to raise investment elsewhere.
He kept expressing his gratitude, and after confirming that Frank’s investigation would benefit him, he boldly asked, "Mr. Parker, can I know... why you are willing to help me?"
"Is it... related to Joanna?"
Frank nodded, "It’s because of your daughter."
Benjamin had already guessed that much.
However, he still didn’t know the specific reason.
"I don’t know what Joanna did back then that would make Mr. Parker willing to help our family."
"You don’t need to know the specifics."
"I’ve said too much," Benjamin immediately apologized, "I just don’t know how to express my gratitude for the great favor you’re doing for our family."
"You don’t need to be grateful to me," Frank said indifferently. "If you want to be grateful, express it to your daughter. I’m helping only because of her."
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be interested in investing in such a small project.
Even if it was guaranteed returns, the amount earned was nothing more than a drop in the bucket for him.
