Chapter 12: A cooperation has been reached

I shook my head, “No. On the contrary, I was hoping you could continue to invest. The Radiant Foundation was my mother’s hard work. If the product went on sale, she would be very happy, and the company would also have great benefits. This was only to let Grace feel happy for a short while. However, in the future, I would take back all of Flying Bird.”

I learned a lesson because of my impulsiveness.

Therefore, I must remain calm now. When Chris and Grace were not aware, they would let down their guard, and I could turn the situation around in one fell swoop.

The most important part of this was Ken’s help!

Ken raised his eyebrows and became even more interested in me. He obviously did not expect that beneath my delicate body, I would have such ambition and courage.

However, at this moment, he was a businessman in negotiations.

“The investment will be a huge sum. I will still be hated by the father and daughter even after helping you. What benefits could I get?”

He looked at me up and down.

I took a deep breath. “I guess you already knew that I really needed your help, but you didn’t refuse… so I believe that I would still be useful to you. We could work together and get what we need.”

Ken smiled and nodded. “You’re really smart. I like getting along with you. However, you were right. I did have a collaboration to discuss with you.”

He took out a document and explained, “Although my wealth did come from my investment insights, my foundation and majority of my connections were maintained by my family. Moreover, my grandfather is not in good health, so when he asked me to find a fiancée, I agreed.”

Ken’s tone did not sound happy, so I accidentally said, “Weren’t you going to get engaged to Catherine?”

In the plot, Catherine took care of Ken’s grandfather when he was in the hospital due to his poor health, so he liked her very much.

As a result, Catherine became the fiancée he favored the most.

Ken narrowed her eyes. “Not many people knew about this. However, Elena, you woke up not long ago. How did you know?”

“Ahem… I, because I was very curious about you not having a wife, so I asked around.” I casually told a lie.

Ken suddenly chuckled.

“It seems that you are very satisfied with me as well. Our cooperation should be very smooth, because my request to you now is to pretend to be my fiancée.”

I asked the lie detection system in my heart. Was he joking with me?

However, the system said word by word: Ken’s words were all true!

I asked in disbelief, “Do you know something? Was that why you weren’t willing to get engaged to Catherine?”

In the plot, Catherine did not like Ken. She fell in love with one of her commoner classmates. I have seen them previously when I was in the hospital.

Ken nodded. “From your tone, it seemed that you knew a lot too… how interesting. Did you actually lay in bed for half a year?”

In order to stop him from asking further, I immediately picked up the document and signed my name. “As long as you could help me find my mother, I could act as your girlfriend so that you didn’t have to break up with Catherine, and your grandfather could be at ease.”

Anyway, as long as I achieved my goal and found my mother, I could live my carefree life.

At the same time, I would fix Catherine with Ken, and the plot would be completed.

After carefully examining the document, Ken suddenly approached me with an unkind face. “Weren’t you afraid that I would cheat you?”

He thought that I would reveal a frightened expression, but I only smiled. “I’m not afraid. I could tell if you were lying.”

Ken was surprised by my confident tone and seemed to be thinking about what I meant.

“Elena, did you study psychology? Or microexpressions?”

I smiled smugly. “I’ve learned many things. You would slowly learn them in the future too.”

I had no one to rely on even if he had other plans. I had nothing to lose. My only choice was to trust him!
