Chapter 544
Blake laughed and said, “I can’t tell you too much about this either. All you have to know is that the Capital City Clarke Group is
now no more than a toothless tiger.” His words assured the rest of the board. At the same time, Houston received a call that sent
him bawling with laughter. “Did something good happen, Houston?” asked Blake. “Dad, my plant in the company just told me that
the stupid Johnston b*tch went out to meet a new investor!
What a joke! Who would dare to invest in Beacon now?” Houston laughed, full of contempt. Blake nodded. “She’s probably just
putting on a show.
There’s no need to worry. Beacon’s doom is assured!” Everyone raised their glasses in premature celebration. As long as there
was money to be earned, they did not care whose company they worked under. Meanwhile, Wynn was going to meet a new
investor today, someone Philip introduced. She was skeptical at first too, but since her husband recommended him, she was

blonde woman standing next to him too. “Oh, my dearest Miss Johnston! I’m so glad to finally meet you.” Buffer did not dare to
treat Wynn with the slightest hint of disrespect.
After all, she was Mr. Philip’s wife. Wynn was pretty surprised to see that the man Philip recommended
was a foreigner. Since when did Philip have foreign friends? The man looked like he was in his fifties or
sixties too.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Buffer. I’m the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical,” Wynn said with a smile,
not a single gesture out of place.
Buffer glanced at his sexy secretary, and the latter very sensibly made them two cups of coffee before
quietly taking her place behind Buffer. “I looked into your company’s situation, Miss Johnston. Right
now, you need about three billion in funds.” Buffer went straight to the point. Wynn nodded.
“That’s right, Mr. Buffer. Beacon is indeed in need of funds right now, but please believe me, as long as
we can survive this crisis, our future will be every bit as bright as the top 500 pharmaceutical
companies in the world.
You should be well aware of Beacon’s current value in Riverdale. Our market is worth tens of billions.”
Buffer nodded and admitted, “That’s right, Miss Johnston. I must admit that Beacon has unlimited
potential in the market, but three billion is no small sum.” Wynn grew nervous. Could Buffer not afford
that amount? Well, there was no helping it then. After all, she did not put all her hopes on him either. All
of a sudden… “Nevertheless, I’ll invest that amount in your company, Miss Johnston, as a favor to Mr.
Clarke,” Buffer said. As a favor to her husband? Wynn was stunned. Did she just win a three-billion-dollar investment? Just like
that? That took no time at all! Wynn had not really expected too much from this friend of Philip’s, but now it seemed like she had
clearly underestimated Philip’s connections. His friend had so casually agreed to an investment of three billion dollars! His

Wynn was shocked beyond words. There was no way to describe it. It seemed as though her husband was not merely the young
master of the Clarke estate either. Was that his true identity? The young heir to the Capital City Clarke Group? She had been
married to him for three years now, but she never really knew who he was. At first, she had just thought he was a perfectly
average man. All these recent events, however, opened her eyes to the fact that her husband was probably far more than what
she saw on the surface. “Have you really decided to invest in us, Mr. Buffer?” Wynn asked in surprise. “Of course. The funds will
reach you soon enough, Miss Johnston. Don’t worry about it.” Buffer smiled. The assistant behind him pulled out a contract,
already complete with signature and stamp. In other words, Wynn just had to sign the contract, and the deal would be done!
Wynn suddenly felt a sense of disbelief at it all. She looked at Buffer rather dazedly and asked weakly, “Pardon me for asking,
Mr. Buffer, but are you the one providing these investment funds, or is it my husband? Please tell me honestly.” “Miss Johnston,
these funds…” Buffer was torn. Philip had warned him not to reveal his identity and definitely not to tell her about his overseas
assets unless absolutely necessary. However, these circumstances were...
