"Well, I can't really come forward for this matter."
Cornell thought for a while before he spoke.
Ilario grew anxious upon hearing that.
He quickly said, "Mayor Morgan, you must save me. If you help me, I promise I'll pay you back."
"It's not about repayment, Minister Sinclair. I'm just a minor deputy mayor, while Minister Carter is the organizational minister, ranking higher than me. In a sense, he's my superior, right?"
He thought Cornell was refusing.
Ilario looked helpless.
He was just about to stand up.
Cornell suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Minister Sinclair, I've heard you have a lady friend working at the bank. She's quite impressive, isn't she?"
This remark made Ilario shiver.
The woman Cornell mentioned was Níngo, Ilario's kept mistress.
Being in the political circle, everyone is quite shrewd.
Ilario immediately grasped Cornell's intention.
This is a negotiation.
Given the dire situation, there's no time to worry about women.
