Chapter 544

Blake laughed and said, “I can’t tell you too much about this either. All you have to know is that theCapital City Clarke Group is now no more than a toothless tiger.”

His words assured the rest of the board.

At the same time, Houston received a call that sent him bawling with laughter.

“Did something good happen, Houston?” asked Blake.

“Dad, my plant in the company just told me that the stupid Johnston b*tch went out to meet a newinvestor! What a joke! Who would dare to invest in Beacon now?”

Houston laughed, full of contempt.

Blake nodded. “She’s probably just putting on a show. There’s no need to worry. Beacon’s doom isassured!”

Everyone raised their glasses in premature celebration.

As long as there was money to be earned, they did not care whose company they worked under.

Meanwhile, Wynn was going to meet a new investor today, someone Philip introduced.

She was skeptical at first too, but since her husband recommended him, she was willing to meet him atleast once.

Soon, Wynn arrived at the agreed meeting spot and met her potential investor. He had a hot blondewoman standing next to him too.

“Oh, my dearest Miss Johnston! I’m so glad to finally meet you.”

Buffer did not dare to treat Wynn with the slightest hint of disrespect. After all, she was Mr. Philip’s wife.

Wynn was pretty surprised to see that the man Philip recommended was a foreigner.

Since when did Philip have foreign friends?

The man looked like he was in his fifties or sixties too.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Buffer. I’m the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical,” Wynn said with a smile,not a single gesture out of place.

Buffer glanced at his sexy secretary, and the latter very sensibly made them two cups of coffee beforequietly taking her place behind Buffer.

“I looked into your company’s situation, Miss Johnston. Right now, you need about three billion infunds.”

Buffer went straight to the point.

Wynn nodded. “That’s right, Mr. Buffer. Beacon is indeed in need of funds right now, but please believeme, as long as we can survive this crisis, our future will be every bit as bright as the top 500pharmaceutical companies in the world. You should be well aware of Beacon’s current value inRiverdale. Our market is worth tens of billions.”

Buffer nodded and admitted, “That’s right, Miss Johnston. I must admit that Beacon has unlimitedpotential in the market, but three billion is no small sum.”

Wynn grew nervous. Could Buffer not afford that amount?

Well, there was no helping it then. After all, she did not put all her hopes on him either.

All of a sudden…

“Nevertheless, I’ll invest that amount in your company, Miss Johnston, as a favor to Mr. Clarke,” Buffersaid.

As a favor to her husband?

Wynn was stunned. Did she just win a three-billion-dollar investment? Just like that?

That took no time at all!

Wynn had not really expected too much from this friend of Philip’s, but now it seemed like she hadclearly underestimated Philip’s connections.

His friend had so casually agreed to an investment of three billion dollars!

His access to his family’s resources had been cut off, right?

Wynn was shocked beyond words. There was no way to describe it.

It seemed as though her husband was not merely the young master of the Clarke estate either.

Was that his true identity? The young heir to the Capital City Clarke Group?

She had been married to him for three years now, but she never really knew who he was. At first, shehad just thought he was a perfectly average man.

All these recent events, however, opened her eyes to the fact that her husband was probably far morethan what she saw on the surface.

“Have you really decided to invest in us, Mr. Buffer?” Wynn asked in surprise.

“Of course. The funds will reach you soon enough, Miss Johnston. Don’t worry about it.”
