The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Chapter 293

Avery was so tempted to roll her eyes right in front of Archie, but she held back and squeezed a smile. "It’s a family matter, and there’s nothing for you to worry about."

Avery believed that her family knew how to deal with stuff like this, and they didn’t need her to oversee their every move.

Avery didn’t ask much about how Bard Property was doing. She knew that the second phase had been successfully delivered long ago, the third phase had almost reached ten stories, the designs and blueprints for the fourth phase had already been approved, and the company was currently laying the foundation and progressing smoothly with it.

If the company had difficulties with the loan, she would let Harry and Rufus handle it. Archie was in no position to tell her what to do.

"You’re the person I care about the most. Of course, your family’s problems are mine too." Archie was a natural at saying such mushy things. He never felt ashamed. "I meant every word I said, and I won’t go back on my word."

After saying that, he glanced back toward his car and sneered. "You know Gia. She’s my new girlfriend."

"Do you remember that her family wanted to develop that piece of land in the east of the city? They needed at least a billion dollars in capital, but Murphy Group is a shell corporation. The bank would never lend them money."

"Meaning, there were only two ways for the Murphy family to raise money. One was to seek cooperation with the Harper family, the Murray family, the Randolph family, and other large companies to fork out a portion of the funds together; the other way was to find a reliable guarantor and persuade the bank to take out a loan."

"Now that the Harper family and Murray family are in decline and their assets have shrunk greatly, the banks won’t trust them very much."

"As for the Randolph family, they aren’t that close to the Murphy family and refused to be the guarantor. They only promised the Murphy family to participate in the development if a loan could be secured."

He then said proudly, "After Gia became my girlfriend, not only did I participate in the development of that land, but I also asked my father to come forward and ask the companies under Moran Group to be the guarantor for Murphy Group."

"Murphy Group received a large loan from the bank because of this. They have already prepared the land in the east of Prool City. They’re going to build a high-end residential district."

"See how I’m super generous and nice to my girlfriend?"

"Come on, just be my girlfriend. You won’t lose out."

Cress, a man named Martin, was about a hundred feet away from Avery. She looked at him grudgefully but did not say a word when she saw Archie pestering Avery. She punched the steering wheel.

Gia knew what kind of person Archie was and had never expected him to be loyal. She only wanted Archie to help her and the Murphy family.

Archie did indeed fulfill his promises. Not only did he help the Murphy family get a bank loan, but he also invested in Gia’s new studio, introduced many clients to her, and shared his connections with her.

Not only that, Archie also helped Andrew get several major supporting roles in big film productions so that Andrew wouldn’t be flushed out of fame by upcoming artists.

With the support of Archie, once the over 50 acres of land in the east of Prool City was successfully developed, the Murphy family would regain its wealth and be able to recover its former glory.

That was why Gia endured this relationship with Archie. It was a relationship built on benefits and not romance.

Anyway, rich men are all the same. Look at Alexander, who claimed he has no interest in women. Isn’t he stuck between Madalyn and Joy? she thought.

The rise and fall of her family in the past year also made her realize that there were social divisions even between the affluent.

For example, a top-notch wealthy family like the Moran family could easily manipulate an average wealthy family like the Murphy family. Even the Moran family’s illegitimate son had the power to steer the Murphy family’s future. It was something Gia would never be able to achieve.

She still had a long way to go if she wanted to reach the pinnacle.

Avery wasn’t interested in whatever happened to the Murphy family at all.

When she heard that the Murphy family had received Archie’s support, she was nonchalant. "Our entire family can fend for ourselves. We don’t need you to lend a helping hand," she defended.

"Don’t say that," Archie tried to win her over. "I know you’re talented and capable, but why should such a beautiful angel like you..."

"Isn’t it much better to find a tall, rich, and handsome man like me, who can give you a luxurious life in return for nothing? Even if I decided to dump you one day, the money I had given you would be enough for you to just chill for the rest of your life. There’s nothing for you to lose." Archie then added, "I’m not a stingy guy like Lucas. He’s only paying you 1 million dollars for you to be with him for five years. I’d say your five years of youth is worth about 100 million dollars."

Avery didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She looked past him and waved her hand. "Alexander, your illegitimate brother is bullying me."

Archie’s body stiffened and his face turned pale. His smile disappeared instantly without a trace.

What is Alexander doing here? Don’t tell me he’s here to give me a beating. Do I still have time to run?

Cold sweat broke out on Archie’s forehead as he stiffly turned around.

He didn’t see Alexander and wondered where the latter could be hiding.

Archie was like a little deer that knew it was being targeted by a tiger. He carefully observed his surroundings, trying to see where the tiger was hiding.

Gia couldn’t stand it anymore and drove to his side. "Avery has already left. What are you looking for?"

Archie was shocked. He turned around and saw that Avery was nowhere to be seen.

Did Avery just trick me? he thought.

He wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he touched his chest and said, "As expected of a straight-A student. She’s really smart. She knows what I’m most afraid of! Well, well, what can I do? I’m starting to like her more."

Gia subdued her anger and smiled. "Archie, it’s getting late. Let’s hurry up and pick up my brother."

Archie was very popular with the opposite sex, and he had a wide network of connections.

Tonight, he was going to introduce some rich women and big shots from the industry to Gia and Andrew. The dinner appointment was very important.

When Archie heard that, he immediately jumped into the car. "Let’s go, let’s go. We can’t let the beautiful ladies wait for us."
