Chapter 702 Utilization
"No, I..."Cora Ginger spoke, then suddenly realized: "Do you really want me to invite Isabella?"
Peter Barnes cleared his throat: "You know, her status is quite extraordinary, backed by the entire Hunter Family, the wealth of the Star Region Group. If I could get connected with the Hunter Family, earning several hundred million a year wouldn’t be a problem, and that way our life could be better, right? I’m doing it to support you, your parents, and your brother. You must speak well of me in front of her."
"Okay, I got it."
Cora Ginger bit her lip and whispered: "I can help you make connections so you can earn more money, but you have to treat me well, and not just use me and then toss me aside."
Peter Barnes held her: "What are you talking about? How could I ever toss you aside? That was all Natalie Niles’ scheme before. She had dirt on me, I had no choice but to listen to her and ditch you. She’s a malicious person who just wants to see you suffer, but I’m not afraid of her anymore. I’ll treat you well, Cora."
Cora Ginger was half believing, half doubting, intuitively feeling that Peter Barnes abandoned her not because of Natalie Niles’ orders, but because he resented the Ginger Family’s expenses. When Natalie Niles stopped giving money, he didn’t want to spend a single penny on them.
Just like now, they slept together last night, but he didn’t give her a single cent.
He seemed generous, but in reality, he was particularly stingy and petty.
The phone rang, and Cora Ginger glanced at it. It was from Zack Ginger.
He urged her again to ask Peter Barnes for money, pushing her endlessly, as if not asking Peter Barnes for money was a great rebellion.
Zack Ginger is an idiot who still thinks Peter Barnes is a rich fool who gives money whenever asked, and every time it’s a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.
Cora Ginger hated Natalie Niles so much she could grind her teeth. This woman was truly ruthless, using thirty million to feed their family’s greed!
That wasn’t Peter Barnes’ money at all, it was all Natalie Niles’, so he felt no pain spending it, enjoying putting on a show of being generous!
Now, trying to get money from Peter Barnes, no way!
Cora Ginger hid her phone, not letting Peter Barnes see Zack Ginger’s messages urging her for money, and hooked his arm, getting into his Mercedes.
His car was brand new, quite valuable.
He was indeed wealthy; just now, when he paid for lunch, the bill was over seven thousand, and he didn’t even blink.
She used to work hard at the Royalton Club for a month to earn that much.
She must marry into a wealthy family, otherwise, on her own, she’d never be able to afford such a nice car or such an expensive lunch in this lifetime.
Once in the car, Cora Ginger tried to snuggle against Peter Barnes to cultivate some feelings, but he pushed her away.
He adjusted his tie and smiled gently: "It’s a bit hot."
Cora Ginger had to sit on the other side of the car.
The car wasn’t hot at all, he just didn’t like her leaning on him.
Peter Barnes leaned back against the comfortable seat of the Mercedes, closed his eyes, and the image of Isabella Weaver appeared in his mind.
He paid over seven thousand for the meal without blinking because he felt Isabella was worth it!
Not just seven thousand, he’d be willing to spend seventy thousand, seven hundred thousand on her.
Unfortunately, in this world, there are some girls that can’t be bought, no matter how much money you spend.
Peter Barnes hadn’t felt this way in a long time. It was as if he was young and vibrant at twenty years old again, eager to pursue the most beautiful girl, crazed to the point of losing reason.
