Chapter 169
"Mr. Henderson, | sympathize with your situation, but rules are rules. | can't make an exception for you.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to our other clients," Isaiah said.
However, his eyes glinted slyly as he glanced at Harold's anxious expression. A faint smile then appeared on his
lips. "But since we've been friends for so many years, | can point you in the right direction."
Harold's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Please tellall about it."
"It's like this." Isaiah pulled a contract out of his desk drawer. "Union Bank may not be able to approve your loan,
but someone else is willing to lend you 200 million dollars."
Harold froze. "Someone is willing to lendmoney? Who?"
"Mr. Caldwell is willing to lend it to you. All you have to do is sign this contract, and 200 million dollars will be

"What are the conditions?" Harold asked warily. He didn't believe for a second that someone like Boris Caldwell,
who had no real connections to him, would lend him such a large sum out of the goodness of his heart.
Isaiah explained, "The conditions are simple. All you have to do is sell the Henderson residence to Mr. Caldwell.
Of course, the 200 million dollars is a loan. The money from selling the villa would be calculated separately.”
After saying that, Isaiah continued to persuade him. "Mr. Caldwell is interested in buying the Henderson
residence. If you pass up this opportunity, you won't get another one."
However, Harold's expression turned cold. "Mr. Rowse, you should know when the Henderson residence was
built, right?"
The Henderson residence had been built since his great-grandfather's time. The villa had survived wars and been
renovated multiple times. It stood as a testament to their family's legacy. It was the most important symbol of
the Henderson family -something beyond monetary value.
Even during the most difficult of times, Harold's father had never once considered selling the Henderson
residence.
Isaiah smiled. "Of course, | do. Mr. Caldwell is interested in the villa because of its historical significance. He
wants to renovate it and turn it into an entertainment venue. Do you think Mr. Caldwell is short on luxurious
properties? He's offering a fair deal. Don't be ungrateful!"
Harold clenched his fists, barely containing his anger. He asked through gritted teeth, "Mr. Rowse, it seems like
you're very eager to push this deal through."
"I'm only trying to help you!" Isaiah laughed heartily. "Of course, I'm not doing it for free. Mr. Caldwell has
promised that if | close this transaction, he'll open an account at our branch and guarantee over a billion dollars
in annual transactions. "Since I'm benefiting from this, naturally, I'll share sof the rewards with you." Bank
managers had to draw in substantial funds to prove their performance, and if Isaiah could land Boris as a major
client, his chances of promotion next year would increase significantly.
"How shameless!" Harold couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Isaiah's smug expression. "You deliberately

benefit!"
Now, he finally understood. All the talk about Henderson Group being a high-risk client was just an excuse.
Isaiah's goal was to leave him with no other option but to agree to Boris' demands.
Unfortunately, Isaiah had miscalculated this time. The Henderson residence was their ancestral home-Harold
would never sell it, even if it meant his death!
Isaiah continued to persuade Harold with relentless persistence. "Mr. Henderson, there's no need to get so
worked up.
"Sure, I'm making sprofit from this deal, but I haven't treated you unfairly. It's just a house! Once you get
through this crisis, there are plenty of prlocations in Dowonair for you to choose from.
"Why cling to that old, nearly dilapidated villa? You're someone destined for great things. People like you
shouldn't be bogged down by small details. That villa is just a material possession-only money is truly valuable!
"Think about it. If you agree to Mr. Caldwell's terms, any future loans your company needs from us will be much
easier to obtain. It's a win-win situation."
