Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 536

Jimmy was trembling with fury. "You… You're too much!"

"You're overreacting, Mr. Ollander. I'm the representative of the Crossleys, so it makes sense for me to prioritize their needs. Furthermore, I'm not forcing you to hand me 3 million. I'm helping you borrow money for Pearson Group! You're the one who came up with this whole idea, anyway; how am I too much?" Leanna replied.

Raymond, on the other hand, simply stood by the side without saying much. He was afraid of getting himself involved in this argument. Jimmy raised his hand and pointed at Leanna while speaking through gritted teeth. "I finally know what a scoundrel looks like! You learned all of this from that dad of yours who's addicted to gambling, didn't you?" Jimmy was getting harsher with his words, but regardless of whatever he said, Leanna still kept a faint smile on her face. She didn't lose her temper at all.

After Jimmy finished throwing his tantrum at her, he turned to Raymond. "I'll get my men to transfer 3 million to her right now. I don't want to hold that nonsense of a press conference!" he growled. "Excuse me, Jimmy, but you can just transfer all the money to the Crossleys' account. There's no need to transfer anything to me—people might think you're bribing me otherwise," Leanna added.

After that, Jimmy simply let out a scoff before leaving, slamming the door with a loud bang as he did so. Raymond wiped the sweat off his head after that. "I hope you don't take Mr. Ollander's words to your heart, Miss McKinney. He's a straightforward person, but he doesn't have ill intentions."

Leanna smiled. "There's no reason for me to be offended. The Crossleys need money now, so if he can give us 3 million, I wouldn't mind even if he wanted to sit me down and curse at me the whole day. There are tons of people who have said worse things than he has—I wouldn't be happy if I cared about everything people said." Raymond found some respect for the woman after hearing her words. Any other woman from a wealthy family would've probably lost their cool, and they wouldn't have managed to stay so calm in the face of someone else's anger.

Yet, Leanna managed to take all of Jimmy's offenses in a calm manner while discussing terms and conditions with Jimmy. "Are you planning to use the 3 million as the company's operating cash flow, Miss McKinney?" Raymond asked.

"What else would I do with the money?" Leanna's tone turned colder as she spoke. "He only did such a shameless thing because he's rich. Not all problems can be solved using money. Sometimes, one would have to pay the price in a different way," she replied.

Raymond didn't say much. "I want you to keep an eye on him. Make sure our finance department receives the payment before you leave," she uttered. "But Mr. Ollander—" Raymond started.
