The CEO's Wife Is a Medical Master Chapter 360: I’ll Back Her Up

Alistair Forrest had also heard about her bet with Susan Caldwell, and he was sweating bullets for her. ’Should I just lie through my teeth,’ he wondered, ’and offer a high price for her pile of stones to help her win this round?’

But as a businessman, he felt that doing so would go against all his comrcial principles. For a mont, he was incredibly conflicted.

He could only sigh to himself. ’Honey looks so gentle and delicate, but she’s got such guts! She’s totally my type!’

Vera Xavier hadn’t expected to see him here. ’When the jade is cut open later, he’ll be my buyer,’ she thought. ’I should be polite to him.’ So she took the initiative to walk over and greet him. "Hello, Mr. Forrest."

Alistair Forrest’s internal conflict vanished the mont he heard her greeting. ’She’s so beautiful and sweet,’ he thought. ’I have to help her, no matter what. I can’t just let her suffer a humiliating defeat!’

’So what if I have to be a prodigal son for a day! My family has plenty of money, anyway. As long as Susan Caldwell doesn’t manage to cut an Emperor Green, I’ll lose a few million at most.’

’The prestigious Forrest Family can certainly afford to lose a few million.’

So he nodded with a smile and said, "You two can stop the competition. She’s going to win."

Vera Xavier froze for a mont. Susan Caldwell’s eyes narrowed. "Why?"

Alistair Forrest said with a smile, "Because whatever you two cut, I’ll buy her stones for a price that’s one dollar more than yours."

The team of advisors he had brought with him strongly disagreed with this statent. However, while his thods often seed unreliable, they always yielded unexpected results. So, the advisors all thought, ’The Young Master must have sothing else up his sleeve. We don’t need to worry!’

Only his two bodyguards silently exchanged a look. ’The Young Master is truly going further and further down the path of a foolish king.’

Susan Caldwell was completely bewildered. She had made so many preparations to beat Vera Xavier today, all with the goal of putting her down. But now, Alistair Forrest’s words had just made all her plans fall apart.

If their bet had any loophole, it was a financial one. And Susan Caldwell had always considered that her greatest advantage. ’No matter what, I have more money than that country bumpkin, Vera Xavier!’

But she never expected this rchant from Marinus to back Vera Xavier so strongly!

She had already done her research. Vera Xavier hadn’t arrived with the rchants from Marinus, and they hadn’t known each other before this. She couldn’t understand why Alistair Forrest would help Vera like this. Right now, the relationship between Marinus and the Mainland was delicate. Even soone like her wouldn’t dare make trouble for a rchant from Marinus. One wrong move, and the whole thing could blow up into a political incident.

’Alistair Forrest must not know who I am,’ she concluded. ’That’s the only reason he would side with Vera Xavier.’

So, she put on a graceful smile and said to Alistair Forrest, "Mr. Forrest, we’re from Veridia. If you ever do business in Veridia in the future, you should look up. I can arrange for you to receive the most favorable policies and the best incentives."

She didn’t explicitly say, ’I have powerful connections. If you offend , don’t even think about doing business in Veridia again.’ But the threat was clear.

Alistair Forrest was no fool; he imdiately understood the subtext. ’This woman is clearly used to getting her way,’ he thought with disdain. ’Does she really think everyone she ets has to bow down to her?’
