Chapter 54: Exposed

Yvette Quinn did not expect Charles Woods to be so rude. He was simply not giving her any respect. However, she could not flare up at this moment. She chuckled and said, “Director Woods, William still has some matters he wants to consult you. He needs your guidance as a mentor.”

Charles Woods glanced at Yvette Quinn again and smirked. “CEO Quinn is indeed a smart woman.”

Yvette Quinn said, “Director Woods, you’re joking. How can I claim to be smart in front of you? I still need a mentor like you to guide me.”

Everyone finally sat down, and the dishes were quickly served. She raised her glass and said, “Director Woods, let me toast you.”

Director Woods narrowed his eyes and looked at William Scott. “Let’s halt that toast first. Since your boyfriend wants to eat with me, shouldn’t he express his sincerity?”

William Scott smiled and said, “Then how would you like me to express my sincerity?”

Director Woods pointed at the liquor bottle in front of him and said, “Drink this entire bottle.”

Yvette Quinn’s expression changed. Director Woods was trying to force William Scott.

The smile on William Scott’s face did not waver. “Director Woods, are you trying to make me drunk?”

The assistant snorted and said, “Director Woods is being nice by asking you to drink. Are you worth him getting you drunk?”

William Scott didn’t even look at the assistant and said, “Director Woods, we’re all adults. There’s no need to use such methods. If Yvette doesn’t sleep with you, does it mean that you won’t approve her loan?”

The private room fell silent. Yvette Quinn’s face turned pale. Although everyone was well aware of this matter, everyone still held back. No one would say it out loud. They would use their own methods to threaten or protect themselves. In the end, it would still depend on who was the more crafty one.

Now that William Scott had said it bluntly, it was equivalent to falling out with Director Woods. There was no room for negotiation.

“Is this guy trying to kill me?” Yvette Quinn wailed in her heart. Her mind raced, trying to find a way to remedy the situation.

Director Woods’ expression was also extremely ugly. He stared at William Scott with a dark expression and hissed slowly, “Kid, you’re very bold.”

William Scott sneered and said, “You have designs on my girlfriend? Do you expect me to smile at you?”

Yvette Quinn secretly tugged at him and hurriedly said, “Director Woods, don’t mind him. William gets jealous easily. How can someone like Director Woods have such dirty thoughts? William, quickly apologize.”

Charles Woods picked up his glass and took a sip. He said, “This young man is right. I just want your girlfriend. If you have the ability, tell her not to accompany me.”

Yvette Quinn’s face turned green. She didn’t expect Director Woods to be so shameless.

The assistant sneered and said, “CEO Quinn, your 30 million loan is due in half a month. We are very clear about your company’s financial situation. If we don’t extend your loan, your company will immediately lose its liquidity. I’m afraid it will be very difficult for your company to continue operating.”

Yvette Quinn answered anxiously, “Director Woods, please be magnanimous.”

Charles Woods sneered and said, “There’s no point in saying all this. Since we’ve already spoken, I’ll be frank. If you promise me, I’ll give you a two-year renewal. If you don’t… then repay the loan before the deadline.”

This time, William Scott did not speak. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Yvette Quinn’s face darkened. He had just caused trouble and now, he had let go? Furthermore, he was eating so happily?

Charles Woods and his assistant could not help but be dumbfounded. What was going on? This guy was actually eating?

Yvette Quinn frowned and said, “Director Woods, I really can’t agree to this. You know our company’s current situation. It’s developing very well now. If you extend the deadline, the bank will also gain a lot. If you have to withdraw the loan, it will be a huge loss to the bank.”

Charles Woods said disdainfully, “Our bank gives loans amounting to so much money every year. Do we still have to rely on your company to make money?”

“Director Woods, why do you have to force me?” Yvette Quinn frowned even more.

Charles Woods glanced at William Scott. That guy had not stopped eating at all. He was even more disdainful of his character. He was a man who could cause trouble, but did not have the ability to solve things. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, “I’m not willing to do that kind of thing. How about this? I can give you an additional twenty million dollar loan. You can decide what to do.”

Twenty million!

Yvette Quinn’s heart skipped a beat. If there was another 20 million in cash, many of the projects she wanted to embark on would immediately come to life.

Seeing her expression, Director Woods was confident. He did not believe that she would turn him down.

Yvette Quinn took a deep breath and smiled again. This made Charles Woods feel even more smug. “Have you decided?”

“Director Woods, I’m sorry. I haven’t reached the point where I need to sell myself in exchange for company funds.”

“You are rejecting me?” Charles Woods’ eyes widened.

“That’s right. I can’t agree to this.” Yvette Quinn stared at Charles Woods with a burning gaze and said, “I think it’s a win-win situation for your bank to give our company a loan. I don’t think a person like you will be unable to distinguish between official and private matters because of a small issue.”

Charles Woods slammed the table and shouted, “You’re right. I can’t differentiate between official and private matters. If you don’t agree, then repay the loan.”

William Scott said unhappily, “Why are you slamming the table? If you want to eat, eat well. If you don’t want to eat here, get lost.”

“You want me to get lost?” Charles Woods suddenly laughed and said, “CEO Quinn, have you thought it through?”

William Scott interjected impatiently, “I despise people like you the most. You think you have some power, and act as if the entire world has to revolve around you. If you don’t get lost, I’ll throw you out.”

“You… try throwing me out!” Charles Woods was furious. He pointed at William Scott and stood up.

“How despicable.” William Scott shook his head. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Charles Woods’ neck. He picked up his massive body like he was lifting a kitten or dog and walked towards the door of the private room.
