When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 452 The two exchanged a knowing smile without saying a word.

After seeing Ethan out, Ibrahim lowered his posture and asked, "Mr. Ethan, now that you've filled the financial gap for Mr. Harry, won't this make your funds tight?" Ethan stopped in his tracks, sneering as he started lecturing Ibrahim. "Is this something you need to worry about? Why are you asking so many questions? Don't ask about things that aren't your concern." Ibrahim forced a smile. "Mr. Ethan, have you forgotten that I am the chief advisor for the all-in-one medical examination machine project? If your funds are tight, won't that affect the subsequent mass production and other aspects of the project?" Ethan felt a bit embarrassed, having forgotten in his arrogance that thrahim was indeed the chief advisor for the project. "So, did you cout here just to askthis? As my subordinate, shouldn't you be thinking of ways to solve this problem? If you can't cup with a solution, stop asking so many questions." Ibrahim almost laughed out of anger, feeling that Ethan was indeed a true member of the Jackson family as he spoke in a manner strikingly similar to Harry. However, Ethan was certainly overestimating himself while considering brahim as a mere subordinate.

"I do have an idea. Mr. Ethan, but I wonder if it sounds good to you," Ibrahim said.

To be precise, Ibrahim had thought of a new way to exploit Ethan.

Since this fool was so easily manipulated, why not make use of him? "Speak," Ethan urged as he was also very curious.

Ibrahim took out a business card from his pocket. "The CEO of the Julius Commercial Bank is my friend..." Ethan interrupted before Ibrahim could finish, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting I get a loan!" -old could Ethan was so angry that he laughed before continuing disdainfully, "I thought you had a brilliant idea, but this is something even a three-year-o think of" "That's not it, Mr. Ethan. Please, letfinish my words," Ibrahim said patiently. "Letteach you, you can use a small amount of money to make a big profit Ethan suddenly turned angry. "Are you trying to teach me? Do you think I need you to teachhow to make money? Ibrahim, aren't you overestimating yourself?" Ibrahim clenched his fists as being looked down upon by such a stupid and ignorant person was a great humiliation to him.

Despite feeling angry, he chose to bide his time, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan, my words were inappropriate. I shouldn't have said about teaching you to earn. What I meant was.." Ibrahim then lowered his voice and whispered in Ethan's ear Upon hearing Ibrahim's words, Ethan's expression changed tically. "Are you suggestingto engage in loan sharking?" "Oh, Mr. Ethan, you're not giving out high-interest loans. You're just helping people in need and solving their urgent problems. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement," Ibrahim said, trying to lead Ethan astray. "I think about IL" It was rare for Ethan to put away the arrogance on his face and think seriously After thinking about it, he still felt that doing such a thing would more or less lower his status, 01:04 Sat, 15 Jun Chapter 452 But on the other hand, his funds were indeed tight and he might be in trouble if he suddenly needed money. Thinking of these, he was conflicted.

On second thought, he felt that he might be overthinking and shouldn't always assthe worst. 60% His project was going well, and his partnership with Blue Vale Hospital was solid. Even though he felt uneasy without sufficient funds, it didn't mean he had to resort to Ibrahim's suggestion.

To Ethan, this kind of shady business was too embarrassing.

Ethan took the business card from Ibrahim and threw it on the ground. "No need for such a terrible idea. Don't waste my time." With that, he got into his car and drove off, leaving Ibrahim both amused and annoyed as he looked at the discarded card.

Ibrahim thought, 'Ethan, you'll regret this Ethan didn't t go hbut drove to the Jackson family's old mansion. Upon entering and seeing Isaac, he asked, "Where's Grandpa?" "In the garden, feeding the fish," Isaac replied.

Ethan headed straight for the back garden.

"Grandpa!" Nell turned around and teased, "You're here? Why are you free to cto my place today?" Ethan chere for a reason. However, he didn't visit often because Nell never showed him much affection and even sided with Gina to bully him. He could never forget the heart-wrenching moment when Gabriel almost strangled him, and Neil didn't intervene. That feeling of coldness and betrayal remained etched in his memory. Despite recognizing and admitting that Nell favored Gabriel over him, Ethan still cas he wanted Neil to help. "Grandpa, I'll help you feed the fish. How have you been? How's your sleep quality is everything alright?" Ethan tried to hide his urgency, grabbing sfish food and tossing it into the pond.

Neil put down the fish food and looked at Ethan, who seemed to care about him but was absent-minded. "Ethan, if you have anything to say to me, just say it. What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to say it?" Knowing his thoughts had been exposed, Ethan felt a little awkward. However, he really could not continue acting caring anymore, so he decided to get straight to the point.

"Grandpa, you've seen how well my medical project is doing now, but I need sfunds for cash flow. So, can I...

"Grandpa, I'm not asking for a handout, but can I borrow money from you and I'll return it after a while?" Neil asked, "How much do you need?" Ethan was stunned, unable to believe it. "Grandpa, are you agreeing?" Neil nodded. "Yes, I agree. Also, don't talk about borrowing money, it's yours. We're family and there's no need to stand on ceremony." Ethan suddenly felt everything was surreal because it was going too smoothly. "Thank you, Grandpa. I need 40 million dollars." "Okay, L Before Neil finished his sentence, Gabriel interrupted, "No way." Gabriel had returned to retrieve a USB drive left there and noticed Ethan's car thrked outside. He also learned from Isaac that Ethan seemed to have rushed to look for Neil, Feeling that something was wrong, he cto the garden and heard their conversation.

01:04 Sat, 15 Jun MY Chapter 452 Neil turned around in surprise. "Gabriel, why are you back suddenly?" "Dad, never mind why I'm back. Ethan wants you to give him 40 million dollars for his medical project, I disagree." Ever since Gabriel insisted on letting Ethan separate the project from Jackson Group, he indicated not allowing other family members to get involved with it.

Moreover, Gabriel and Gina suspected major problems with the project, so he couldn't agree to Neil giving money to Ethan.
