Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 393

"However, Sergio, if you would lend a hand, I may notend up in such a bad situation." Zoella said decisively, looking up at Sergio.

"Really?" Sergio frowned and smirked. "Miss Yates, are you making fun of me? I am in the military and have nothing to do with business. Say, what exactly can I do for you?"

"No, you can. It depends on whether you'll agree or not." Zoella nodded with certainty.

Sergio laughed. "Zoella, you're putting me on a pedestal. Xanthe family only seeks to develop in the military, and we have no interest in the business. Besides, you also remember the 'little white rabbit' fight. Even if I want to help, it would be Jenna I would help. Why do you think it would be you?"

When Zoella heard this, her eyebrows were raised, not seeming sad at all. She said with confidence, "No, things are different now. Your stand and benefits have changed. You won't be foolish enough to help Jenna. If I'm not mistaken, Richards Group stole a few deals away from the Xanthe family."

Zoella said casually.

Sergio was stunned. He asked in a cold voice, "Zoella, how did you know about my family's stuff?"

This woman wanted to parade her ability and talents all the time, always dropping hints that she knew the Xanthe family well. This shrewdness made Sergio feel uncomfortable and repulsed. Once again, it proved his point of view. Zoella was arrogant, not the type men would like. Compared to Jenna, she was far behind.

"By guessing." Zoella saw Sergio's nervous look and could not help laughing out loud. "Sergio, you don't have to be so nervous. Whether in the army or political circle, the elite of Capital City have a certain share of shops and assets. This is an open secret, and I just happened to say it out loud. Otherwise, can they really live a life of wealth with their meagre salaries?"

The expenses of Capital City were higher than any other city. Those elites would run their company, whether in the open or in the dark. The previous governor's son had controlled a lot of real estate projects all over the country and had extorted a lot of money. However, these people's businesses operated secretly and were underground, unlike Richards Group's business, which was transparent. The elites abused their power for money, which Zoella was clear about.

Richards Group was well- connected and was granted the government's protection. Therefore, ordinary companies could not cause harm to the Richards Group. However, if there was someone influential in politics, like Sergio, helping them, it would be much easier for her to do things. This was Zoella's plan.

Since the Richards family had vast connections in Capital City, their businesses in the city were able to carry on. Even if they had an overwhelming advantage, no one could do anything about it.

It was difficult for Zoella to strive in Capital City.

Connections were essential in business, and the smart Zoella certainly understood that.

The Xanthe family business was repressed by the Richards family, but they could only take so much impact. Otherwise, they would not resort to smuggling weapons as a means.

Zoella had a good idea of what was going on.

Sergio wanted to revive his business in Capital City. After all, the risk of the petrochemical factory was too high. Yadriel wanted to draw back after they made enough money for the election in a few years. However, if their company could run well, they would discard the petrochemical factory.

That was also his plan.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at guessing."

Sergio smiled and said in an icy voice, "There are certain things that can't be spoken of lightly. Besides, you know that my own matters are getting out of hand. I can't help you."

"You still regard me as an outsider. Since I'm here today, I have already put the subject of life and death aside. You know that our family both lost to the Richards family. Your family has gained a firm foothold in the military and political circles. But what about my family?" Zoella's eyes turned red when she said this. "My father died from anger. I am his daughter. What can I do?"

Sergio stared at her. Her sadness was real, the hatred in her eyes genuine, but so what? Did she want to drag him into this?

"Sergio, my company is now a joint company with Jones Group. Although we can't compete with Richards Group for now, we still have power. Don't underestimate us." Zoella's sad expression lasted only for a short while. Her bright smile returned, and no one could tell any hint of earlier sadness.

Something imperceptible flashed briefly in Sergio's eyes.

"What's the point of you saying these? I can't even take care of my family business. How do you expect me to help you with your company?" Sergio's eyes were still dubious.

"Now, look, is the economy or politics greater? Of course, it's politics. Those in the business world are most afraid of being involved in politics since it will lead to a disaster." Zoella reminded him.

Sergio's deep eyes gleamed.

"How can you be sure that I will help you?" He questioned. Why would this woman assume that he would help her to fight against Jenna?
