Chapter 236
Isabella didn’t get mad, but instead, she flashed an ingratiating smile and said respectfully, “Clark, my
current predicament is temporary. I have plenty of ways to solve my problems and start anew. Have
you forgotten? Over the years, every time you’ve screwed up a business deal, I was the one who
bailed you out with my money”
Clark was no whizz at business, but he loved to show off his chops. With arrogance and narcissism, he
always thought he was the smartest guy in the room. He looked down on small deals and always
wanted to go big or go home.
But he couldn’t handle the big leagues. Every single time he tried to do business, he’d lose at least a
hundred grand.
Clark was always a mama’s boy. His mom was a hard–ass, and although he strutted around like a big
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtman on campus, he turned into a little boy when he got home, always groveling in front of his mom.
If his mom ever asked him where the money went, he’d get scared shitless.
To keep her spot as Clark’s fiancee, Isabella kept pulling Clark’s ass out of the fire.
And where did she get her cash? Mostly by blackmailing Faye with the fact that Thalassa was still alive.
She made some dough with her own company, but it was peanuts compared to what Clark was burning
through.
Hearing her words, Clark calmed down.
For the past five years, he couldn’t figure out why he kept losing money in his business deals..
The capital he used to do business was always siphoned off from the family account under the radar.
If his mom found out, she’d blow a gasket.
Every time he lost money, Isabella would step in and save his bacon.
He trusted that Isabella had the chops.
Five years ago, Isabella had fooled around with another guy behind his back!
This was a bitter pill that Clark couldn’t swallow. He depended on Isabella’s abilities, but he couldn’t
forget what she had done.
He was always sharp–tongued with Isabella, never being gentle to her.
Even when they got intimate, he’d berate her without pity.
Clark calmed down, his face still showing his anger. “Alright. What’s your plan?”
Isabella chuckled and said, “Clark, I know you’re the most competent man. You can easily get five
million–dollars to repay Lysander. It’s a piece of cake for you.”
Isabella didn’t have five million dollars to her name, and even if she sold her company, she wouldn’t
come close.
Lysander was a cold–blooded bastard. This time, he only crippled her because of Thalassa. He gave
her a chance to pay back the money, and then they’d be square.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she didn’t take this opportunity, things could get a lot worse.
So, she had to get her hands on five million dollars ASAP and pay Lysander back herself, telling him
that she knew she screwed up and was willing to make it right. That was her way of showing her
sincerity.
If she waited any longer, Lysander might lose his patience.
So, she had no choice but to turn to Clark.
Even though Clark was incompetent and arrogant, he was an absolute sucker for flattery.
As long as someone told him he was capable, he’d be over the moon.
After so many years with Clark, Isabella knew him like the back of her hand.
Clark furrowed his brow and said, “How the hell am I supposed to pull that kind of money out of thin air
right now?”
“You can tell your mom you need it for an investment as the startup capital,” Isabella suggested.
“My mom knows I’ve screwed up a lot of investments before. She’s not g
