Chapter 15: Set a Trap for the Kennedy Family
The Kennedy family was all dumbfounded.
They did not expect her to say that out of the blue.
Gianna was slightly embarrassed by their stare. “Have I said anything wrongly? I thought the reason Mr. Kennedy kept on insisting to pay us back the money is to show that you’re not taking advantage of us. That’s why I ask to write an IOU so the public would know Mr. Kennedy is an honest man, or else Mr. Kennedy would be judged when this spreads out.”
Osmond reacted.
He felt a little unhappy at that moment. He had not expected that he had made her misunderstood when he was trying to show the Kennedy’s capability.
But, was that a misunderstanding?
He slightly hesitated.
Yet from Gianna’s look, and especially the fact that she had been obedient towards them, he felt that it was impossible for her to have any extra thought about it.
Having thought of that, Osmond quickly spoke, “You’re certainly right, Gina. It’s necessary to write an IOU when we’re borrowing money. I would write one even without your reminder.”
“Sure.” Gianna let out a bright smile.
They had indeed given the Kennedy’s two billion yuan back then.
Yet the Kennedy’s never mentioned anything about returning the money after they gave them!
How would she let them do as they wish in this life?
Osmond immediately asked his servant to bring the paper, pen and stamp here. “I’ll write it myself.”
He then wrote the IOU down swiftly.
He handed it to Alexander and said, “Do have a look and see whether there’s still anything we should add. If not, I’ll press the stamp.”
Alexander took it over and looked at it with Gianna.
Gianna said with confusion after she saw it, “Mr. Kennedy, you only wrote the amount of money borrowed, you didn’t write the deadline to return the money and what you should do if you can’t return the money. This IOU seems useless.”
Gianna’s seemingly innocent words made Osmond’s face flushed at once.
Yet she seemed to have not realized it and she handed the IOU to Caesar, asking with an innocent look, “Caesar, since you know everything, could you help me have a look?”
Caesar was slightly speechless when she asked that.
If he supported her, he would be embarrassing his father, but if he retorted, he would embarrass himself.
Although Gianna’s words were a little offensive, she was right.
Osmond could not help but explain, “Oh, silly me, I’ve never written an IOU before and I have no idea how to write one. I’ll now add the deadline, and it would be…”
Gianna said, “Let’s make it six months later.”
Osmond was pondering between three years or five years, and he was surprised when she said that.
“I just saw the Kennedy’s financial report which was made public a few days ago. The Kennedy’s net income for the first six months was 3.8 billion yuan, the trend for the next six months looks good and the income must be more,” Gianna said clearly.
Osmond let out a wry smile. “I didn’t expect that Gina is interested in financial news too.”
“Since my family and the Kennedy family are both on the rank, that’s why I’ve paid a little more attention to it.” Gianna let out a sweet smile.
“Sure, let’s make it six months later.” Osmond wrote it down with his teeth gritted.
Gianna then suggested when she saw him writing, “Let’s make the Kennedy’s share as a guaranty if you’re not able to return the money within six months.”
Osborn’s hand obviously froze.
“I heard Maureen, which is Maureen Torres, the daughter of the chairman of the XH Bank, she’s my bestie, said that Mr. Kennedy has used the Kennedy’s share when you applied for a loan from their bank. She’s even told me Mr. Kennedy has borrowed 5.4 billion yuan from the bank and made 18% of the Kennedy’s share as the guaranty. Therefore according to the market value, it should be 6.67% for 2 billion yuan,” Gianna said with an innocent look while calculating as if she was just telling a fact.
Osmond still pulled his face down a little no matter how much he endured it.
Alexander finally understood what his daughter was thinking at that moment.
His daughter was leading the Kennedy’s into that trap and she had made them unable to retort not reject. novelbin
All in all, the Kennedy’s was indeed lacking money. If the Morris’s did not provide them with funds, the Kennedy’s could not sustain themselves and they would not dare to damage their good relationship
with them at all.
Not to mention when Gianna looked so composed and seemed to think it was reasonable.
If they rejected her suggestion, that would mean they did not want to return the money at all. The Kennedy’s must not be that barefaced!
Alexander secretly smiled. He was amazed by Gianna’s cleverness.
She was so clever that she had trapped the Kennedy’s in a dilemma.
“Have I calculated wrongly?” Gianna was slightly doubtful of herself when she saw Osmond did not write it down.
She mentioned her calculation on purpose, not the fact that her suggestion had made the Kennedy’s unhappy.
She then calculated it one more time with her fingers.
Osmond looked up and glimpsed at his son.
Caesar was greatly embarrassed at that moment too.
Yet they were out of choice.
The bank refused to fund their project, and they could only rely on the Morris’s. If they did not obey Gianna, that would mean they had declined the Morris’s funding.
The Morris’s was obviously forcing them to consent.
Osmond was a cunning old fox too and he could certainly think about that.
The reason he tossed a look to Caesar was to remind him not to let Gianna live a good life in the future.
No matter Gianna did it on purpose or not, she would not live well when she embarrassed their family!
Caesar nodded and showed that he understood his father’s meaning.
Osmond continued writing the IOU again and said, “You’re really attentive, Gina. That’s right, it’s 6.67%.”
As he spoke, he completed the IOU.
Gianna looked at the IOU and after making sure she had achieved her purpose, she praised, “Mr. Kennedy’s handwriting is really good. If Caesar and I have given birth to a child in the future, we should let him or her learn to write from you!”
“Look at you, you guys have not got married yet,” Fiona criticized with a loving expression.
“I do hope to have grandchildren soon,” Lindsay chimed in. “A granddaughter would be best.”
Both families then got along merrily and the Kennedy’s looked like they did not hold any grudges towards the IOU today.
Gianna and her parents only left after having dinner with the Kennedy’s.
Gianna went to the washroom before she left.
Gianna passed by a corridor when she got out of the washroom. The corridor was connected to the Kennedy’s flower garden at the back. She took a few steps along with it and stopped.
She could hear Bernice talking to someone on phone in the garden from afar.
Although she had lowered her voice, her voice was still clearly audible in this silent night.
“Help me to ask Bruce Shawn out, I heard that he’s come back.” Bernice sounded a little oppressive.
Her “sister-in-law” in the past was always arrogant towards anyone.
No one knew the reason she was that confident and why did she think no one was comparable with her.
“I’m not free tonight, my brother’s girlfriend came, and I don’t know when she would leave. I’ll get scolded by my dad if I leave.”
“You’re saying that Gianna’s pretty? Yeah, that woman was indeed born beautiful, but so what? She’s still manipulated by my brother like a puppet. You have no idea how abased she is when she’s in front of my brother. Do you believe that I’ll let her clean my feet after she gets married to my brother?”
“That’s a bet then, don’t you deny when I send you the picture!”
“Deal.”
Gianna left the corridor indifferently.
So the reason Bernice clinging to her intimately to ask her to clean her feet back then was to humiliate her in front of her friend.
Good.
She would keep that in mind for another vengeance to come!
