Rural Belle & Three Heirs

He wanted money.

From the moment they entered Daryl's office, Chloe hadn't said a word. Once she understood what Daryl was implying, she pulled Rena aside.

In a low voice, she said to Rena, "Rena, Daryl wants us to bribe him."

Rena was furious when she heard this. "What? We just started our business, how would we get the money to bribe him?"

"Besides, we make money based on our quality. Didn't he say our clothes weren't good enough? We can provide him with quality reports. Daryl can't do this."

Rena was still very upright. As a college student, she just wanted to do business honestly.

But college is a relatively simple place. The business world is where the real dirt lies.

Chloe, having grown up in a business family, had seen this kind of thing many times. However, Nicholas had set family rules, the Davis Family never dealt with people like Daryl.

Hearing Rena's words, Chloe nodded. "Alright, in that case, we won't work with him. It's just a mall. It doesn't matter if our products aren't sold here. If he makes such demands the first time we talk, it'll only get worse."

"We'll find other partners." Chloe spoke softly to Rena.

But Rena was still a bit unwilling. After all, getting their clothing into Evergreen Mall would be very beneficial for their company.

She thought for a moment and said to Chloe, "Chloe, let's not rush. I'll talk to Daryl again... Maybe he'll be more flexible."

Rena was being too optimistic about human nature. Chloe didn't think Daryl would be flexible.

Suppressing her dissatisfaction with Daryl, Rena turned back and tried to speak nicely to him. "Mr. Jennings, I understand what you mean. You want some benefits.

But my company has just started, we haven't made much money yet. Plus, with our high-quality clothes, the profit margin is low. We really don't have any extra benefits to give you.

I hope you can be kind and sign the contract to put our products on the shelves. Once our company makes money, you'll definitely get your share."

Rena spoke very directly, looking at Daryl with hopeful eyes.

Daryl's face darkened. Had he failed to get a bribe? Just as he was about to lose his temper, his eyes fell on Rena's delicate face.

Rena wasn't some drop-dead gorgeous knockout, but she had this quiet, delicate charm-the kind that makes a man feel like he needs to shield her from the world. The moment Michael laid eyes on her, that instinct kicked in hard, then he brought her into his studio as an assistant.

Daryl stared at Rena, his eyes roaming over her body with a lecherous look.

His rude behavior made Rena uneasy.

She reminded him, "Mr. Jennings, can you agree to what I just said?"

Daryl laughed and snapped his fingers. "It's just a few clothes on the shelves, no big deal."

"Ms. Penrose, since you asked, I can't refuse. How about you take me out to dinner tonight?" As he spoke, he reached out to touch Rena's face.

Seeing his bald head coming towards her, Rena quickly stepped back.

At that moment, she understood what Daryl meant.

This lecherous man, unable to get money from her, wanted something else?

"Mr. Jennings..." Rena retreated in fear.

Chloe quickly came to Rena's side, also understanding Daryl's shameless behavior.

Rena said to Chloe, "Chloe, he just tried to touch me..."

Hearing this, Chloe's face changed. This was Daryl's office. If he became shameless, she and Rena wouldn't be able to handle him.

To protect themselves, Chloe grabbed an ashtray from Daryl's desk and pointed it at him. "Mr. Jennings, what do you mean?"

"I was just joking with her. If you can't even take a joke, why are you doing business?" Seeing Chloe pointing an ashtray at him, Daryl temporarily put away his lecherous thoughts and sat down at his large desk.

This was his office. He couldn't afford to fall out with these them here.

If it were somewhere else, he would definitely take Rena down today. And who was this ugly woman standing next to Rena? So bold? Daring to point an ashtray at him?

Hearing Daryl's excuse that he was just joking, Chloe snorted coldly. "Mr. Jennings, business is business, no jokes allowed. If someone wanted to do business with you and joked about having your wife sleep with them, could you take that?"

Chloe's words instantly angered Daryl.

He had just sat down but immediately stood up again. "Ugly girl, what are you saying?

I was just joking, do you have to retaliate like this?"

Even at this point, Daryl insisted he was joking.

"Mr. Jennings, how is this retaliation? I'm just joking too. If you can't even take a joke,

why are you doing business?" Chloe mocked him with his own words.

Daryl's face changed dramatically.

Considering this was his office, Daryl decided to punish Chloe and Rena later.

He yelled at them, "Get out right now..."

As he spoke, he pushed and shoved Chloe and Rena towards the door. Because he used too much force and Chloe had just been discharged from the hospital and was still weak, she stumbled and fell to the ground outside Daryl's office.

Seeing Chloe fall, Rena quickly went to help her. "Chloe, are you okay?"noveldrama

Just as Rena was about to help Chloe up, Daryl pushed Rena again, causing her to fall

on top of Chloe. The two of them ended up on the ground.

At that moment, Grant, who had just finished his phone call, arrived and saw Daryl pushing Rena and Chloe.
