The Amazing son in law Chapter 125

Daniel welcomed Claire into his office. As soon as the door clicked shut, a spark of desire flickered in his eyes.

He quietly locked the door and gestured for Claire to take a seat on the sofa.

Feeling a bit awkward and out of place, Claire settled down opposite him, her hands neatly folded on her thighs.

Daniel broke the ice with a warm smile, “Miss Wilson, what brings you here today?”

Claire managed a shy smile in return and replied, “To be honest, Mr. Koch, our company is currently facing some cash flow issues. I was hoping you could consider allowing us to purchase the first batch of materials on credit.”

“On credit, you say?” Daniel’s smile vanished, replaced by a serious frown. “Miss Wilson, I believe you’re aware of my company’s policy. We don’t allow credit payments or deliver materials before payment. It’s always—pay first, then receive the goods…”

“I understand,” Claire said, her voice tinged with regret. “Unfortunately, I’m in a tight spot at the moment. But rest assured, the project we’re working on is a partnership with the Emgrand Group, the largest company in Aurous Hill. They are reliable and won’t default on their payment. Once we receive our payment, we’ll pay you back immediately!”

Daniel chuckled lightly and said, “True, you make a valid point, but you must realize it’s not personal. Do you know why I established the no-credit policy, Miss Wilson?”

Claire shook her head, curious. “Why is that?”

“In the past, I was more lenient. I allowed customers to take the goods first and pay later, thinking it would help me expand my network and business. However, I ended up with over 300 million dollars in unpaid credit accounts! Everyone promised to pay, but none followed through.”

“What? That’s a staggering amount!”

Claire’s eyes widened in disbelief.

To put it in perspective, the entire Wilson Group was worth just over 100 million dollars, yet Daniel had debts totaling more than 300 million!

Daniel shrugged, a hint of resignation in his voice. “What can I say? My partners always promised, ‘I’ll pay you soon,’ but it never happened.”

He shook his head in frustration. “As a result, I had no choice but to halt all credit collaborations. You can purchase goods here; I have everything you need, but you must pay upfront.”

Claire felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. It seemed her request was turned down.

However, she realized that it wouldn’t be right to ask him to bend his principles. Standing up, she said, “I apologize for bothering you today, Mr. Koch. I’ll go back and discuss with my grandmother to see if we can gather the funds for your materials.”

Just as she began to leave, Daniel called out, “Wait, Miss Wilson, don’t rush off!”

He stood up and added, “What I said applies to most partners, but you, Miss Wilson, are a different story!”

Claire looked at him, puzzled. “What do you mean, Mr. Koch?”

Daniel’s gaze turned intense as he looked at Claire.

Honestly, she was stunning!

Her beauty was breathtaking!

After years of being around an old, nagging partner at home, the contrast was stark. Claire’s exquisite features and alluring figure made her the ideal woman.

Why wasn’t she with someone like him?

What did her unremarkable husband possess that he didn’t? He had far more to offer than that loser!

Thoughts of desire and longing surged within Daniel as he contemplated this.
