Rachel did not believe it, "Dad, aren't you thinking too poorly of him?"
"You still don't believe me?" Jarred was angry as he continued, "I've asked someone to investigate yesterday. When he went for a job interview, the first thing he asked for was an advance payment of five hundred thousand dollars! If it was just to support himself, why would he ask for that much? Isn't it all just to sustain all his bad habits from being filthy rich? I was wrong about him before!"
"However, this is also a good thing. Thanks to that matter with the Granger family, we were able to see who he clearly is. Eddison is no different from those other playboys. If he leaves his home, he will live a meagre life. Rachel, forget about him. I'll find you a better man!"
"That's impossible!" Rachel stood up and said, "He's not that kind of person!"
"Rachel!" Jarred was angry, "This is my final decision no matter what you say!"
He turned around and took another look at Bianca.
"Discipline your daughter!"
Bianca nodded hurriedly. Then, she reached out to hold Rachel back and said, "That's enough!"
Rachel looked at Bianca's submissive look and did not feel good, therefore she kept quiet!
For the whole day, her mind was filled with Jarred's words. Eddison needed half a million dollars!
Of course, she did not believe that Eddison was the kind of person Jarred had mentioned. He must have a reason as to why he needed that much money!
She thought about it and could not help but give Yvonne a call.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Yvonne spent the night partying with her friends, so she was still in a daze. She mumbled, "What is it?"
"Is there any vacancy in your company? Do you need someone?"
Yvonne immediately replied, "No biggie! I don't know much about my dad's company but your friend can work immediately in my store. What does your friend do?"
"He studies law!"
Yvonne was stunned, asking, "You have friends in the law field?"
In the next second, she sobered up from the alcohol. She sat up and said, "Is it Eddison?"
"Yes!" Rachel nodded, "He seems to have encountered some difficulties, so can you help him?"
Yvonne was exasperated as she scolded, "Are you stupid? It's obvious that he doesn't like you!"
"What's wrong? I'm just treating him as an ordinary friend. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Okay, fine! How can I hire such a talent to my humble little store, though?"
"You're exaggerating. Any position is fine! I believe that he will be willing to do it anyway!"
"What about the salary?"
"You can pay the salary as per usual! However, he may want an advance payment. I have the amount ready. I'll transfer the money to you later! You can use my money to give him a payment in advance first. I promise you, you won't lose anything!"
Yvonne had an upset expression on her face, "Why are you doing this? Are you looking down on me? Do you think that I can't afford to pay him in advance?"
"No, it's not that! I just don't want you to spend too much money! You've just started out!"
"How much is he asking for? Even if I have just started my business, I can still pay him in advance!"
"Five hundred thousand dollars!"
Yvonne was rendered speechless.
"Forget it, you'd better transfer money to me!"
Rachel was instantly delighted to hear that and she said, "That's great!"
"You silly girl!" Yvonne was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Then, she added, "I have never seen such a silly person like you. You even want to give him money! If you take out so much money at once, won't your father punish you?"
"It's from commissions for my projects. He won't know about it!"
"You're really silly!" Yvonne was dumbfounded as she continued, "You've been working hard at the construction site under the sun every day, yet you now want to give it all to that pretty boy!"
