Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 669

Ricardo massaged his temples, finally saying tiredly, "Then let's do it his way, ten billion it is."

Booker couldn't help but smirk inwardly, though he kept his face neutral and said, "Mr. Ricardo, this ten billion isn't a no-strings-attached offer."

"He has conditions?"

"For ten billion, naturally, there are conditions."

Ricardo took a deep breath and asked, "What are his conditions?"

"This is a personal loan to you, Mr. Ricardo, as a gesture to turn foes into friends. Blake's condition is that the Cloude family must not trouble Julian from now on. This loan's interest rate will also be slightly higher than the bank's. If you agree to these conditions, Blake will proceed with the loan. If not..."

Booker left the sentence hanging, but Ricardo already understood Blake's intent.

He had targeted Julian not long ago, so Blake wanted to transform their conflict into peace. It seemed Blake also knew not to mess with the Cloude family and was willing to step back!

Ricardo said, "Blake seems reasonable. Since he can offer ten billion, a slightly higher interest rate than the bank's isn't an issue. As long as the Cloude family can get back on its feet, we can make back the capital in less than half a year."

Hearing Ricardo's proud answer, Booker almost laughed but managed to keep his composure, following up with, "You're absolutely right, Mr. Ricardo."

"Then go handle it. Pay extra attention to the contract details. A personal loan is alright. It just won't go through the company's accounts.”

Once Ricardo agreed, Booker said, "Alright, I'll get on it."

As he stood up, Ricardo suddenly said, "Wait."

"What is it, Mr. Ricardo?"

"Transfer me some money for the company's expenses at the end of the month."

At this, Booker raised an eyebrow. The company was so strapped for cash, yet Ricardo had the nerve to talk about company expenses.

Still, Booker transferred the money to Ricardo.

Once Ricardo received the

notification of the $10,000 transfer

on his phone, he stood up and walked to the counter, telling the waiter from earlier, "I'll pay for the coffee."

The waiter responded with a hint of impatience, "That'll be $68."

The next second, the waiter heard a notification for $680. She looked up startled, and Ricardo gave her a cold glare as if to chide her for her underestimation.

Meanwhile, Sophie was in her office, reading the transmitted document with a smile, "This Booker is really capable."

"This is a ten billion loan with a

six-month repayment schedule, and

he has to pay interest monthly,

which isn't a small amount. Does

Mr. Ricardo not know how todo the math?"

Sophie, resting her cheek in her hand, said, "I think he can't be

.n

bothered with the math. In the past, Booker managed all these matters It's less that Ricardo leads the Cloude family and more that it all depends on Booker. Now that Booker has become a hands-off manager, everything is proceeding as he wishes. Mr. Ricardo will likely collapse soon."

She was actually looking forward to seeing Ricardo's expression when he saw the loan interest next month. It would certainly be interesting.
