True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Alexander, dressed in a sharp suit, sat at the head of the table.

Seeing Sophia's surprised face, he flashed a roguish smile.

He made a 'please' gesture towards the seat next to him, "Miss Sinclair, please have a seat."

Sophia initially wanted to turn and leave, but the introducer immediately said, "So you two know each other, that's great. Mr. Cross plans to invest $200 million, which means this project can start moving forward."

Hearing this number, Sophia looked at Alexander with a cold expression.noveldrama

"Sorry, I don't want to cooperate with the Cross Group."

She had initially refused Alexander's invitation to join the Cross Group because she didn't want any entanglements with the Cross Family.

Daisy had just come of age and went to work at the Cross Group, showing how ambitious she was.

Although Daisy resigned from the company to apologize to her, as the heiress of the Cross Family, she was very likely to be the future successor of the Cross Group. Daisy wouldn't leave the company so easily.

Daisy would return sooner or later.

Moreover, the people at the Cross Group also saw this situation clearly. Alexander, as the heir of the company, chose to pursue medicine.

Therefore, the title of successor would inevitably fall on Daisy.

Not only did Daisy think so, but perhaps the entire Cross Family and even the whole company thought so.

Otherwise, Gilbert wouldn't have let such a young Daisy enter the company.

Understanding this, Sophia was even more resistant to Alexander's help.

At this moment, Alexander handed a cup of hot ginger tea to Sophia.

He looked at her gently, "Drink this, and then we can talk about cooperation." "Alexander, I said I wouldn't cooperate with the Cross Group."

Alexander smiled and glanced at her, "Who said you were cooperating with the Cross Group? This is my own money, Sophia. You don't really think I live off a doctor's salary, do you?"

Sophia looked at him in surprise, "Isn't that the case?"

In her impression, Alexander was just a carefree rich second generation.

Alexander, despite being the rightful heir, chose to be a doctor.

He was wild, and no one could control him.

The money he spent lavishly was all from the Cross Family.

His meager salary probably wasn't even enough for one piece of clothing.

Alexander laughed angrily and nodded towards the woman with big waves beside him, "You explain to her."

The woman with big waves smiled and nodded, "Ms. Sinclair, Mr. Cross is the big boss

of C&C Group, which is the second-ranked company in the investment banking world, only behind Mr. Winters' ZERO Corporation.

However, C&C Group has always been managed by me. I am the professional manager of this company, Thalia Fairchild."

Hearing Thalia's words, Sophia stared at Alexander in shock.

Although she didn't know much about investment banking, she knew a lot about ZERO Corporation, which was Ryan's former company.

After Sebastian defeated the bad guys, Eugene gave the entire ZERO Corporation to him.

A company second only to ZERO Corporation, how could Alexander own it?

Such a company's market value was even bigger than the Cross Group. Seeing Sophia's speechless shock, Alexander's lips curved slightly. His deep eyes stared at Sophia without blinking.

His voice carried a rare sincerity, "Don't overthink it. I just see potential in this project and believe you can bring me returns. I never make losing deals.

You know, I always focus on the matter, not the person. If this project couldn't make money, I wouldn't invest."

Thalia also chimed in, "That's right, Ms. Sinclair. Mr. Cross has never failed in his investments. He researched this project for a long time and had me conduct various investigations before deciding to invest."

Sophia couldn't help but scoff inwardly.

She didn't believe Alexander was just investing without any other intentions.

But with the conversation at this point, if Sophia continued to doubt, it would seem a bit pretentious.

She glanced at Manuel beside her and asked softly, "From an investor's perspective, do you think I should agree?"

Manuel smiled gently, "From my perspective, I don't want you to agree because it would mean more contact with Mr. Cross. But for your sake, agreeing to Mr. Cross's investment is the best choice.

With this investment, the project can start immediately, achieving the greatest results in the shortest time."

Sophia nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Hearing her say this, Manuel was a bit flattered and asked with a smile, "You trust me that much?"

"Although we haven't met often, I trust your character. I'll sign this investment." Hearing their conversation, Alexander tightly gripped the cup in his hand in anger.

He had been with Sophia for so long, yet she didn't trust him but trusted a man she had known for only a few days.

He had rushed over to discuss work with her after a day of surgeries.

Alexander's lips curled into a smile with an unclear meaning, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"Who is he to you that you trust him so much and not me?"

Sophia raised an eyebrow at him, "Since I plan to date him, I should trust him."

"Then why didn't you trust me before?"

"How could I trust a man who is always ambiguous with other women?"

The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Finally, Alexander gritted his teeth in anger, "Fine, since you trust him so much, sign this contract. If you don't understand, you can ask him to explain it to you."

Sophia took the contract without looking up, "I will."

Alexander watched as the two of them looked at the contract with their heads together, discussing in low voices, and angrily downed several glasses of wine. After signing the contract, Sophia immediately stood up and said, "We have other matters to attend to, so we won't disturb Mr. Cross any longer. Thank you for your investment. I'll work hard to ensure you don't lose money."

With that, Sophia turned and left.

Alexander angrily squeezed the wine glass in his hand, shattering it.

Bright red blood dripped onto the transparent glass.

Yet his lips curled into a roguish smile, "Sophia, I'll make you understand that in this world, only I truly care for you."

As they left the private room, Manuel looked at Sophia with concern, "Are you okay?" Sophia smiled and shook her head, looking at him seriously, "Do you want to know about my relationship with Alexander?"

Manuel smiled faintly, "I'm interested in the person you are now. I don't mind what happened in the past."

"But you've already told me about your past. If I keep it from you, it wouldn't be fair. Let's go, there's a bar nearby. We can have a drink and I'll tell you my story."

As they left, a dark figure quietly followed them.
