Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 14: Embarrass the Kennedy Family

The atmosphere was peaceful when they had lunch around the round table.

After lunch, the Kennedy’s invited them to have tea at the flower garden at the back.

The autumn sky was clear and the air was crisp with a cool breeze. It was nice weather to relax.

“Well, since we’ve known each other for so long, I’ll cut to the chase,” Osmond spoke after letting the housemaids finished pouring the teas.

Alexander certainly agreed with passion. “Sure, go ahead. We’ll follow your decision regarding Gina and Caesar’s marriage.”

“Then please excuse me.” Osmond looked generous. “The wedding is next month and we’ll make it big. No matter what, we are still two of the largest families in Kouby City, and we can’t be casual at the wedding. We would afford all the expenses regarding the wedding hall’s decoration and the wedding dinner, and the cash gift all belongs to Gina and Caesar.”

“No problem.” Alexander agreed, so as Fiona.

“As for the bride price and dowry, let’s stop making guesses. You can tell us any requirement regarding the bride price and we’ll try our best to fulfill it.” Osmond looked extremely sincere.

Alexander said, “You’ve taken charge of the wedding dinner, and it’s not a small amount of money, not to mention we only have Gina, our only daughter, and everything that belongs to us would eventually belong to her, we don’t have any needs, but we do like to hear her thoughts.”

Having received her father’s signal, Gianna quickly said, “I don’t have any needs either. My only hope is that the wedding would be merry and everyone is happy.”

“Is there anything you specifically want? I can buy it for you,” Lindsay Peterson, Caesar’s mother quickly said.

Gianna glimpsed at her.

Her mind was full of episodes of how that woman claimed it was for her own good and forced her to drink medicine to let her give birth to children for the family.

She only knew until she died that the so-called medicine was all brewed by disgusting insect’s dead bodies and she would vomit and have diarrhoea for several days every time she drank it. Yet she had actually forced herself to drink that for eight years to give birth to children for the family!

Gianna held back her burning hatred and spoke, “I only like that sapphire from the beginning. Now that I’ve had it, there’s nothing more that I need.”

The sapphire was obviously a taboo subject that could not be mentioned in front of the Kennedy’s. The facial expression of the Kennedy’s clearly changed when she said that.

Luckily the Kennedy’s was good at acting and they ignored the topic that disadvantaged them. “If that’s the case, I’ll not give any unnecessary suggestion anymore. We’re all gonna be one family after Gina gets married into our family anyway, and you could tell me anything you want whenever you like.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Kennedy,” Gianna answered absent-mindedly.

“Then the bride price is settled. As for the dowry, we don’t have any requirement too, it’ll be okay as long as the children are fine.” Osmond paused and he seemed to have something difficult to speak of. He then heaved a deep sigh and said, “Actually, I do have want request now.”

“Go on, don’t mind me.” Alexander looked open-hearted too.

“The Kennedy’s is having an e-commerce project recently. There’s no problem with the funding at first, but we have to pay for the bank loan as it’s almost the deadline. Because of this, we have a shortage of funding for the project. We wanted to borrow money from the bank again in the first place, but the bank is lacking money these days too and we’re rejected several times. Having thought for a while, instead of asking help from others, why not straight ask you to lend a helping hand? After all, the Kennedy’s would eventually be Caesar’s and when Caesar marries Gina, it would be both theirs. Although I feel a bit embarrassed to ask help from you, it’s not contradictory to the subject.”

Osmond sounded logical with his smooth talk.

The Morris’s had indeed lent the Kennedy’s a big helping hand when the Kennedy’s had a crisis in funding in Gianna’s previous life.

And they indeed did not have a reason to decline when Osmond had said until that point.

Alexander glanced at Gianna.

Gianna nodded.

Alexander then said, “Since we’re a family, we should help. I wonder how much money does the Kennedy’s need this time.”

“It should be around two billion yuan after rough calculations,” Osmond said blandly.

He seemed to think it was a small sum.

Of course, the Morris’s could afford that amount of money, yet it was not an amount the Morris’s could squander.

Gianna smiled and asked, “According to my knowledge, two billion yuan is exactly the amount of fund the Kennedy’s needs for the e-commerce project. Could Mr. Kennedy possibly unable to afford a single

penny?”

Osmond was slightly embarrassed.

He did not expect her to know that project.

And he had not even expected her to say that out loud.

What she meant from her words was obvious. The Kennedy’s was asking the Morris’s to invest in the project wholly and the Kennedy’s would just sit back and enjoy the benefits.

They were all businessmen.

No one could accept this kind of bargain!

The situation went a little awkward at once.

Caesar quickly explained, “The Kennedy’s stock market dropped and we’ve allocated part of the fund to compensate to balance the market.”

“Oh, really?” Gianna seemed like she had suddenly understood it.

No one could tell that she actually knew the Kennedy’s stock market needed only ten million yuan to compensate.

And ten million yuan was the same as nothing in front of one billion yuan.

Caesar was secretly relieved when he saw Gianna’s expression.

He thought Gianna knew it very well, but now it looked like she had just heard about the project through rumors. Why would a woman who had all her heart set on marrying him and becoming his good wife

know about business?

“Dad, since the Kennedy’s has encountered difficulty in their investment project, we should help them,” Gianna said to her father.

Caesar let out an evil smile.

He knew Gianna was still that foolish woman he could manipulate.

Alexander no longer understood Gianna now. She insisted to cancel the marriage and now she wanted to offer help. Although he was baffled, he still nodded. “We’re gonna be one family in the future, and we certainly have to help each other.”

“I’ll thank you for your kindness now. Of course, I’ll not take your money for nothing, I’ll return the money to you the moment the project’s earned money,” Osmond hurriedly said. He was smiling from ear to ear.

“But what if it’s suffered a loss?” Gianna suddenly asked. She seemed to ask it very casually.

Osmond let out a wry smile. “We’ve done a wholesome examination on the project, it’s unlikely it would suffer loss.”

“We can’t say it for sure for anything regarding business,” Gianna muttered. She then smiled innocently at Caesar. “Right? Caesar.”

“Yes, but we’ve made an absolutely safe plan for the project. Don’t worry, it won’t suffer loss,” Caesar consoled her gently.

“I suppose you won’t be able to return the two billion yuan if the project suffers losses.”

“That’s impossible,” Osmond quickly said. “The Kennedy’s doesn’t only rely on one project. Even if the project’s suffered loss, we’re still gonna have income from other project and we’re definitely capable to return the money.”

“Since Mr. Kennedy insists to return the money, let’s write an IOU.” Gianna smiled.

She looked harmless. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

As if what she said was something reasonable, not something that would hurt the family’s relationship.
