Chapter 217
What was this pretentious woman trying to do?
Chuck Cannon didn't bother to pay any attention to her. He pulled up the curtains and did a hundred push-ups and sit ups. Then, he went to bed holding Yvette Jordan in his arms.
Early the next morning, Yvette made breakfast. After they had breakfast, she went out to find a job. Chuck did not stop her since he knew that Yvette was stubborn. Instead, he drove to the plaza and looked for Yolanda Lane.
"So you knew that the ownership to Teacher Jordan's company has been transferred?" Yolanda was surprised.
Chuck nodded. The competition for training companies were too fierce. Even Yvette who had put in so much time and effort had failed to come out on top. Chuck was thinking of letting her change professions. Yolanda sat down after listening to his opinion.
She checked the information and then said, "There are actually many businesses that could make money. In fact, with Teacher Jordan's ability, it would be easy for her to succeed, but she'll need a certain amount of investment and money."
"Money is not a problem." Chuck shook his head. He didn't want Yvette to work so hard anymore, so he intended to create a project and have her work on it directly. With that, she wouldn't have to go out searching for jobs.
"I know, however, I have a better idea. With Teacher Jordan's circumstances, we don't need much capital to help her make money." Yolanda smiled.
"What?"
"Why don't you invest in a movie and let Teacher Jordan be the heroine?"
Chuck was speechless. It wasn't like he hadn't thought of it before. When he was first scouting for the lead actress, he had thought of asking Yvette. After all, her figure and appearance were first- class. Even if she wasn't good at acting, she could still become famous just by her looks.
She was beautiful and had an alluring figure, so her acting skills weren't really important. Chuck only needed to tell Auntie Logan that and it would only be a matter of time for Yvette to become famous. With Auntie Logan's ability, she could become a superstar in just three months.
However, Yvette was not interested in this.
Although the filming crew had been working at the plaza or a few days, Yvette did not pay much attention to them. Moreover, since they were young, Chuck knew that Yvette wasn't the type of person who would fawn over stars. She definitely had no interest joining the entertainment industry.
The moment Chuck thought of this, he immediately shot the idea down. There was no way Yvette would want such a job.
Chuck was thinking about it and he looked at Yolanda with a strange look. She was so beautiful, and her figure was also very hot. If she wanted, she could also take the job.
He asked her but Yolanda smiled and shook her head, "I'm also not interested in these things, like Teacher Jordan."
"Are you afraid of being forced to do those unscrupulous things? Don't worry. I can guarantee that as long as you're keen on the job, no one will hurt you." Chuck said seriously. He wasn't bragging. With his mother's ability and Auntie Logan's wrath, they could ensure that no one would dare to lay a finger on her.
Yolanda was embarrassed and denied, "It's not that."
She really had no interest in such jobs. There was once where someone had asked her to model for them when she was just walking on the streets. She refused them. She wasn't really willing to do it even if they offered her 5 to 6 hundred dollars an hour.
Chuck joked, "Haha, it's a pity! You have such a nice body, so it would be good for you to show it off sometimes."
Yolanda was even more embarrassed. Chuck noticed that Yolanda was wearing a uniform today. She wore a pair of exquisite high heels that went with the black skirt that she was wearing. In addition, she had worn a pair of black stockings to compliment her long legs, making her look extremely seductive.
Chuck had known her for a long time. He knew that her figure was pretty good. She just preferred to lay low. She didn't really like to wear skimpy clothes even in terms of fashion.
Chuck realized that it was inappropriate of him to look at her this way and he couldn't let Yolanda misunderstand. He coughed and said, "Why don't you continue?"
Yolanda suggested, "Well, why don't we open a restaurant for Teacher Jordan? We'll invest around 2 million dollars and also help create some specialty dishes. We could employ Zelda Maine's idea to open franchises!"
This was a good idea. If he opened a restaurant for Yvette and handed her the contract, she would definitely be pleasantly surprised!
Chuck smiled and decided to do so. However, there was no empty lot in the plaza. After asking Yolanda, she managed to find an vacant place in the plaza that was situated in a strategic position. The transfer fee was around 800,000 dollars. Hence, the entire investment would amount to about 3 million dollars.
Chuck was ready to visit this place with Yolanda. If it was suitable, he would give it to Yvette immediately and give her a surprise!
But at that moment, someone came in. Chuck didn't know them, but Dread had a few people with him. They were the people who loaned their money to Yvette.
Dread announced, "Hey, I'm here with someone to sign the contract. I want to transfer the training company upstairs to them. "
Chuck frowned. It turned out that these people were the ones taking over Yvette's company, but why were they transferring it out now? Yolanda looked at Chuck, who was visibly confused. She told him softly that they were loan sharks.
After she said so, Chuck understood.
However, didn't Yvette only borrow 700,000 dollars from there? Was there a need to sell the company? There must've been something fishy going on. After all, loan sharks had different traps to lure their clients into never-ending debt. Was Yvette duped by these people?
But she could just call the police. How could she give in to their unreasonable demands?
"What are you looking at?" Dread sneered. How could he not know Chuck? His men had been observing Chuck for a long time.
"Watch your tone!" Yolanda was angry.
"Watch out? You should scram!" Dread sneered. What was a wimp like him doing here?
Chuck glanced at him. Yolanda immediately whispered into her walkie-talkie and the guards over, but she was stopped by Chuck. There was no need to beat people up in the plaza. He could just
take action in an alley where no one was looking. They deserved it for calling his mother names and cheating Yvette of her company!
Yolanda said, "We're not open for procedures today."
"Not open?" Dread sneered. "If you don't do it now, I'll smash your place to smithereens! Try me!"
Several of Dread's men also echoed his sentiments. He had managed to find someone who was willing to take over Yvette's company at 350,000 dollars.
Chuck glanced at Yolanda. She understood him and asked, "How much are you selling the company for?"
"350,000 dollars!" Dread replied.
Chuck was furious. Yvette had invested at least 1.5 million dollars in this company. How could he sell it at such a low price?
Yolanda said, "Okay, I'll give you 350,000 dollars, and we'll take back the company. Your card please!"
"Take it back? Do you think you can do it so easily?" Dread snickered, "On second thought, 350,000 dollars is not enough. I want 500,000 dollars!"
"You!" Yolanda was angry!
However, Chuck assured her and said calmly, "Give it to him."
Dread scoffed, "Give me? Who do you think you are?"
Chuck squinted his eyes.
Yolanda repeated herself and asked for his card.
Dread frowned, but he was in a good mood since he managed to earn another 150,000 dollars. He quickly shooed the person whom he had initially chose and gave Yolanda his credit card. After receiving the money, he mocked delightedly, "I can't believe that you would rather get back such a rubbish company. I hope your plaza goes out of business."
Then, he left with his men. He planned to find someplace to lavishly spend the extra 150,000 dollars.
After they left, Yolanda asked, "What are you planning to do with the company now?"
"I'll give it back to Yvette. Could you draft a contract please? I'll go out first. Contact the person in charge of the empty shop lot and inform them that we'll pay them a visit this afternoon or tomorrow." With that, Chuck went out. When he arrived at the parking lot, he noticed Dread and his henchmen leaving in a sports car. They were probably heading to an erotic massage center or someplace where they could have fun. He snorted, "Trying to leave? Not so fast." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Not only did he plan to get back the 500,000 dollars that he had just transferred to Dread, Chuck also planned to get Yvette's money back. He opened his car door and started the engine. He had pepper spray on him and was equipped with some boxing skills. It wouldn't take much to beat these people up since he had been attending boxing classes for some time now. Besides, he wanted to train himself. He couldn't always rely on his mother for help.
Or he wouldn't be able to move forward then.
However, Chuck frowned when he saw a woman walking towards him. It was Quinn Miller again. Was this woman out of her mind? Was she still trying to buy the plaza?
Chuck quickly locked his car doors as Quinn walked over to him.
"The plaza is not for sale. How many times do you want me to tell you?" Chuck was in a hurry to chase after Dread and his men, so he didn't have time to talk to her.
Quinn didn't say anything but just walked over directly to him.
