Chapter 529 Reinforcements-1

" Hello?"

" Hello, Mr Samuel? This is Lucie from Paris."

" Ah, yes, Lucie, did the deal go through already?" Samuel had instructed her to find a castle to buy. It was something that Elise said in passing. Samuel was not sure if she ever remembered about it, but that would be a good surprise for her.

" Yes, sir. I have been calling to ask you what to do next? It needs some renovations, and many people were working for the previous owner, like a butler and other staff. I called to let you know if you want to retain them."

" Yes, if they are good at their job, I don\'t mind increasing their salaries too."

" I am sure they will be happy to hear about it. What do you want to do about renovations?"

" Just do as you see fit. You can hire the necessary people and guide the whole process. Do you know how much it will cost?" Samuel asked, just in case she didn\'t have the money.

" I am not sure, but it will be in millions because of the size of the property. If you want to save money-"

" No, you misunderstood my intentions. I don\'t want you to cut corners; just contact Abigail if you need more funds. She will tally everything and report it to me after everything is finished. How long will it take to make the castle presentable?" He asked.

" It will at least take a few months. As I have been told, these stone structures are a lot of trouble to redo, but it is in an okay state if you want to stay here. The back garden and surrounding land haven\'t been looked after because the viscount already gave up on the property, but the kitchen and the main castle are in good condition."

" I see. You did well; I will ask Abigail to increase your commission. Just make sure to take care of the guest in the future."

" Thank you, sir. Are you coming to visit?" Lucie was elated. The deal cost more than a hundred million dollars. Her compensation was insane already, but she was going to get more? It was the best pay for a few week\'s work!

" Not now, but I might send my parents, so you must care for them. It\'s not certain, but I just want you to be ready."

" I will do my best!"

They hashed out a few more details before Samuel cut the call. He felt better receiving a piece of good news for a change. He fiddled with his phone and suddenly got an idea: wasn\'t he being too passive for the current situation with Grace Generation.

Couldn\'t he do a preemptive strike to make his presence known? He knew that he couldn\'t come out as the person who performed with them, but he could do a great deal of damage to the main perpetrator, SK Corporation.

He thought for a few minutes and came up with a perfect solution. Why doesn\'t he use his recent connection? But first, he needs to know if they have any influence in South Korea. He searched for the specific number and dialed the number.

Delphina Arjo had been in a good mood these days. She was hesitant at first to ally with Samuel because the premise of collaboration was her taking control of the chairman\'s seat. At the same time, Samuel would get a few shares in her family\'s parent corporation, LVHM. 

She had already forgiven him for disrupting the company she was managing, the media corporation, the third biggest in Europe. There was a case to make that Samuel\'s action to plummet the shares and engulf everything by doing so was excessive, but she saw the broader picture.

A strategic alignment with a powerhouse like Samuel would bring her, many times the profit if she chose to overlook a little friction. Even her subordinate, whose son was involved in the incident, supported her decision.

Since they met, she has been amassing shares rapidly, and Samuel\'s team was also keeping her updated about the number of shares they held under anonymous accounts. As far as she knew, her older brother had yet to catch up to what she was planning, which was excellent news, but the same couldn\'t be said about the current chairman, her father.

She was enjoying her evening coffee when she suddenly got a call from Samuel. They didn\'t talk much after their first meeting, mainly because Delphina didn\'t want him to believe she was desperate. It\'s not like she didn\'t feel anything about him, but it was the main attraction on a superficial level.

Being in business all her life taught her an important lesson: not trusting a man based on his looks. It was more evident when she first saw Samuel; there was an instant attraction, but she was not the type of girl that would throw herself on a stranger; besides, she knew about his shenanigans, mainly his reputation of being a playboy!

 She composed herself and picked up the call, " Hello." She said confidently.

" Hey, I need your help with something, but I will warn you beforehand that you could lose some money over it. Are you up for it?"

" That depends. What do you need? You know I don\'t have much funds these days."

" It\'s to do with a damsel in distress. You can help a friend, right? We are partners!"

Delphina was stumped; it\'s about a girl? Did he want more limited-edition luxury items? But as far as she knew, she had already delivered most of the new stuff to Paige and Maia. Did he already get another one? Just how much energy did he have?

" No! I know we are partners, but you can\'t come running to me for merchandise whenever you have to impress someone! I am not your bank; just pay for it in advance, and I will see what I can do!"

Samuel was embarrassed hearing her accusation of something he didn\'t even do! Just how low do these girls think of him?

" It\'s not like that; it has to do with your business with a particular company. I asked if you would pull out your sponsorship to pressure them on my behalf." He clarified himself immediately.
