Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love

Chapter 27 A Fool With Money To Burn

As Kaden watched Elliot gulp down more than half a bottle of whiskey in one go, he couldn't help but let out a

sigh.

Elliot could have done otherwise.

After hesitating for a moment, he cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Andrews, it's clear to see that you care a lot

about Miss Harper. Why haven't you informed her about your feelings?”

For close to a decade now, Kaden had been by Elliot's side, and he had never seen anyone stir up such strong

emotions in his boss the way Corynn did.

To Elliott's love life, Kaden was a witness, and he knew Elliot's heart was totally for Corynn.

Elliot placed the bottle in his hand on the table and let out a sad sigh.

Closing his eyes, he reflected on Kaden’s words and let out another sigh.

He had been on the verge of getting drunk, but he was now sober and his mind was very clear.

He indeed cared for Corynn and was only drinking because he was frustrated by her continuous show of disdain

towards him. Anytshe acted indifferent toward him, he always got agitated.

As he thought of Corynn, he pursed his lips and gently rubbed his throbbing temples. Though she now had some

impressive abilities, she still wasn’t strong enough to stand beside him.

Amanda had strongly believed that it was imminent that Harper Group was going to file for bankruptcy. However,

Corynn had managed to beat expectations and keep the group alive, holding out until the delivery day.

Clearly, she had underestimated just how determined of a fighter Corynn was.

But still, Amanda believed that the announcement of Harper Group’s bankruptcy was inevitable.

She had already arranged for the media to report the news of the Harper Group’s demise and had her lawyer

draft a takeover plan. Today, whether Corynn liked it or not, the Harper Group was going to be wiped off the

surface of Orleans for good.

Sitting leisurely in her living room, Amanda’s eyes were fixated on the television as she watched the news.

The area around the Harper Group's headquarters was swarming with journalists from numerous news stations,

all eagerly broadcasting the event. On the internet, eager spectators were placing bets on what the

outcwould be.

The odds, which were nearly eighty to one, clearly favored the Willis family to cout on top.

Though the sums being staked were peanuts by Amanda's standards, she still placed tens of millions of bets on

herself.

Due to this, the odds skyrocketed to one hundred to two.

Going through the bets, she saw that there were only two people who had wagered on the Harper Group, and

each had wagered only ten dollars.

Chuckling, Amanda shook her head and was about to place her phone down when the smile on her face froze.

Someone had just wagered a bet worth tens of millions on Harper Group! Before Amanda could recover from this

unexpected development, two more identical bets followed.

She gasped and leaped off the sofa like she had been burned. Who on earth would dare to go against the Willis

family?

“Amanda!” Daniela called out from outside. Amanda gazed at the direction in which Daniela’s voice had come

from and her anger dissipated somewhat.

When Daniela walked in and saw the stunned look on her friend's face, she frowned and asked, “Is everything

okay, Amanda? Are you sick or something?”

Amanda said nothing and simply placed her phone in her friend's palm.

After seeing what had happened, Daniela rolled her eyes and chuckled, “Whoever did this, is nothing but the

biggest fool to have ever existed! Why would they want to throw away so much amount of money?”

“I know it's a waste, but it still kind of bothers me,” Amanda said with a frown.

Everyone in Orleans should know that the Willis family was going after the Harper Group and was determined to

make them fall. Betting on Harper Group was nothing but a blatant act of insult directed at the Willis family!

“Amanda, | believe Corynn has a suitor, right? Who knows, it’s probably him who is throwing away such a huge

amount of money, probably to impress her,” Daniela suggested.

Amanda nodded in agreement and pursed her lips.

Sure, ten million was nothing to her, but then, to speople, it was simply an unimaginable amount of money.

In fact, there were slisted companies that only had ten million in their accounts.

Daniela shook her head and continued, “Anyone with a functioning brain ought to know that today is the day that

the Harper Group will collapse. In short, | can’t imagine anyone else doing this but Corynn’s suitor. That idiot

wouldn't be affected much if he loses this much money.”

Hearing this, Amanda smiled softly and felt a little better.

She was well aware that this suitor was none other than Jason, heir to the Reid family, which was one of the

three major families in Orelens.

Shaking her head, Amanda couldn't help but wonder what was so special about Corynn that would make even

Jason fall in love with her and seek her hand in marriage.

At that moment, Amanda looked up at the television and was met with a sight that almost caused her heart to
