Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 418

"Mr. Kaman."

Monia walked up to Kaman with champagne, her face blooming with a determined smile,

"Our Brolanke family is very much looking forward to cooperating with you. Over the years, we have offered you a generous offer many times, but you have been hesitating. Perhaps the conditions we offered are not enough."

"Well, then. Today, on behalf of the Brolanke family, in addition to our previous negotiation basis, we'll inject an additional one billion US dollars of funding. What do you think?"

Monia had always been high-profile, and her voice was not soft. As soon as she said those words, many guests around heard them and were dumbfounded in surprise.

Damn it, an additional one billion dollars!

One billion! Dollars!

Such a huge sum!

When she was interviewed by reporters on the red carpet, Monia had made it clear that she was attending the jewelry dinner tonight because she wanted to talk about cooperation with Kaman.

The noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and some people looked at Victoria not far away.

Everyone present knew that the Preston family also wanted to reach an agreement with Kaman.

Now, Victoria and Monia were both here, representing the Preston family and the Brolanke family respectively.

Who would Kaman ultimately choose to cooperate with? Which family would prevail, the Preston family or the Brolanke family? It probably depended on who was more capable between Victoria and Monia.

In the corner, a few wealthy gentries whispered softly,

"Wow, one billion US dollars. Monia is really generous. It seems she's determined to cooperate with Master Kaman!"

"Being able to casually add one billion US dollars on her own shows that this money is peanuts to the Brolanke family!"

"In that case, since the Preston family is the leader of the four major consortia, adding one billion US dollars must be a breeze. If they were to compete, Victoria could just add two billion, right?"

"No, no, no, Victoria is the youngest daughter who was only found recently by the Preston family. How can she make such big decisions for the Preston family?"

"She doesn't have the guts. She can't even compare to Monia!"

Many people's gazes were focused on Kaman, wondering if he would be swayed by Monia's one billion dollars, or even decide on the spot to cooperate with the Brolanke family.

However, when Kaman heard Monia's words, his heart remained unmoved.

He was about to go find Victoria, but when he turned around, Monia stopped him and came to talk to him about cooperation again. It was really annoying.

Rubbing his forehead wearily, Kaman responded coolly to Monia's one billion US dollars, saying only, "Wait a moment," before turning enthusiastically to find Victoria.

The surrounding guests were stunned.

Monia's face turned red with anger. What's going on with this Kaman?

Wasn't one billion US dollars enough for him?

And he went to find Victoria.

Victoria grew up in the countryside, had she ever seen so much money as a billion dollars? Could she offer such bold terms?

Unwillingly, Monia chased after them.

When she reached Victoria and Kaman, Monia spoke again,

"Mr. Kaman, it seems you didn't hear my previous offer clearly. I'm willing to inject another one billion US dollars of funding for you. I hope you'll agree to cooperate with the Brolanke family."

After finishing her words, Monia looked arrogantly at Victoria and said generously:

"Miss Preston, I know your Preston family also wants to cooperate with Mr. Kaman. Let's not beat around the bush. Let's compete openly. What kind of generous conditions are you willing to offer Mr. Kaman on behalf of the Preston family?"

Victoria's calm eyes glanced at her, and her tone was casual as usual, "The Preston family won't add anything, the condition is the same as before."

Upon hearing this, Monia's expression overflowed with disdain.

What an idiot.

With such fierce competition, she didn't even want to add more investment!

The young aristocrat in the corner had smug expressions on their faces,

"See, I told you that Victoria doesn't have that much courage, and can't make such a big decision for the Preston family.

"I guess Victoria has been stunned by Monia's one billion dollars! She has probably never heard of so much money before, right?"

"I bet, Kaman will definitely choose to cooperate with Monia in the end! He's not stupid, he will choose the one with more money!"

"Ah, the Preston family lost just like that! Victoria is beautiful, but she can't handle the responsibility of being the eldest daughter of the Preston family. In terms of business ability, she's not as good as Monia!"

...

Just as everyone was whispering, Monia looked at Kaman with confidence.

"Mr. Kaman, by now, you should know who is the most suitable partner for you, right?"

Kaman first glanced at Victoria, then at Monia, and nodded slowly, "Of course, I know who I should choose. I have my own considerations."

Upon hearing this, Monia felt even more confident in her victory.

She had added one billion US dollars, while Victoria hadn't added anything.

Any fool would know who to pick between the two!

It was clear who Kaman would choose!

Monia arrogantly took a sip of champagne and looked provocatively at Victoria, raising her chin:

"Miss Preston, let me kindly remind you that negotiations in the business world are all about give and take. Are you really not considering adding more conditions for Mr. Kaman?"

Victoria looked at her calmly and raised an eyebrow, "No, I'm not considering it."

Hearing this answer, the contempt and disdain in Monia's eyes overflowed.

What a brainless idiot, not knowing how to grasp the opportunity given to her.

She had been wary of Victoria before, treating her as a rival, but she didn't expect to snatch the cooperation from Kaman so easily.

That was good too, and it would save her a lot of effort.

The other guests in the banquet hall saw this scene and could not help but whisper.

"I can't stand it anymore! What's going on with Victoria? Monia kindly reminded her, but she's still sticking to her decision! She deserves to lose this cooperation!"

"Her head is empty, beautiful, but brainless, and understands nothing about negotiation!"

The most important thing for these affluent families in the imperial capital was the cultivation of their offspring. Only if the offspring were well-cultivated, could the family business last forever and not decline.

Now, seeing the contrast between Victoria and Monia, those people were filled with emotion.

"I've learned a lot. Monia is an aristocratic lady who received an elite education since she was a child. She can't compare to someone like Victoria who only returned to the family recently! Monia knows how to fight for the interests of the family. She's quite valiant and very intelligent!"

"Someone like Victoria won't bring much benefit to the family, and might ruin the Preston family in the future!"

"Actually, Kaman willingly gave 'Dark Emerald' to Victoria for free, which shows that he really likes her. It was possible to cooperate with the Preston family, but Victoria was too stupid to see the opportunity and didn't invest more. The gods really came and saved him!"

"I'm guessing that Kaman must appreciate Victoria so much for the sake of the Preston family's reputation. If Victoria wasn't from the Preston family, Kaman would not even look at her!"

"Tsk, if the Preston family loses this cooperation, all the blame will fall on Victoria!"

Listening to these whispered remarks, the smug look on Monia's face became more obvious.

Tonight's jewelry banquet was worth it.

"Now, I can tell you the reason. The design inspiration for 'Dark Emerald' came from the 'Spirit Fairy' dress designed by Ivy Sundrew"

"Without Ivy Sundrew, there would be no 'Dark Emerald'."

"Even though Ivy Sundrew hadn't made a public appearance at that time, her design, her 'Spirit Fairy', inspired me a lot. It inspired my pinnacle of design, 'Dark Emerald', which was loved by the world! And that was how it was created."

"It's no exaggeration to say that Ivy Sundrew is my muse!"

The reporters at the scene finally understood!

No wonder, in the interview just now, Kaman said that she had been fantasizing about her for a long time, standing at the edge of the red carpet, opening the door for her muse. So, that's what he meant!

Facing the shocked gazes of the crowd, Kaman continued, "Today's jewelry banquet, I requested Victoria to wear 'Dark Emerald' because I wanted to see how 'Dark Emerald' looks like on her."

A reporter in the crowd suddenly realized, "No wonder 'Dark Emerald' and Victoria are so compatible as if they were created solely for Victoria!"

"So, Victoria specifically wore the 'Spirit Fairy' dress to fulfill Master Kaman's dream!"

Kaman nodded and looked at Victoria gratefully, "Victoria, thank you."

Victoria smiled, "You're too polite."

Kaman smiled and continued to say to the crowd,

"Over the years, both the Preston family and the Brolanke family sought to cooperate with me. Although Monia offered very generous conditions, I believe you should understand my decision. "

"Once I found out that Ivy Sundrew was Victoria, the missing daughter of the Preston family, I only had one thought in my heart. No matter how good the conditions Monia offered, I only wanted to cooperate with the Preston family. And yes, it is solely because of Victoria!"

The crowd was even more shell-shocked than before.

Unbelievable!

Victoria holds quite an important status in Kaman's heart!

For Victoria's sake, not even a billion dollars!

"I'm ashamed! I thought that Master Kaman admired Victoria so much for the sake of the Preston family's reputation, but now I have realized that it's the opposite! Kaman only looks at the Preston family for the sake of Victoria! And the sole reason he wants to cooperate with the Preston family!"

"So, the cooperation that the Preston family has been discussing for many years without reaching a conclusion was easily settled because of Victoria?!"

"With such a talented daughter, the Preston family has struck a gold mine!"

"Who said that Victoria can't bring benefits to the Preston family, but will ruin the family business in the long run? The person should lower his head in shame!"

"No wonder Victoria was so calm the whole time, not even improving any conditions... She has already negotiated a cooperation! And Monia, this whole time, has completely lost!"

"In the long run, it's more beneficial for the Kaman family to cooperate with the Preston family. The Brolanke family has already declined, and the Preston family is now the head of the four major conglomerates. They will only develop better and better in the future. Surpassing the Brolanke family even more!"

At this moment, Monia listened to these harsh words and gritted her teeth in anger.

The eyes that glared at Victoria were filled with thunderous resentment.

Unexpectedly, she and Kaman still have this kind of relationship.

Did Kaman come to the Imperial Capital this time specifically to visit Victoria?

The whole time, she thought Kaman was here to find her!

Monia's narcissism was shattered, and her anger almost turned into a flame, burning Victoria to the bone.

Okay, you, Victoria...

Just wait for me...

In three days, Eztec and Azara would jointly sanction the Preston family.

You should cherish these last three days of being the little princess of the Preston family!
