Love Drug Novel

Chapter 84 A Strategic Move Finished Trevor suddenly recalled that Stewart Group was also in the shopping mall business and was a competitor in this fierce battle .

Regarding the previous investment , Trevor had been wrong to force Summer to beg him .

It would have been wiser to extend an olive branch instead .

Perhaps this could be the opportunity to bring Summer back to his side , to stop her from resisting him .

Trevor turned to Peyton , his tone firm and unwavering .

Peyton , I cant help you with this .

Peyton thought she had misheard him .

Her eyes widened in shock as she stammered , What ? Trevor , you never refused me for such small matters before .

Do you really … despise me now ? As she spoke , pearl like tears rolled down her cheeks .

Trevor frowned , his gaze unusually serious .

Peyton , Stewart Group is also competing for the Marloux brand .

Peyton instantly understood .

Summer again .

She momentarily lost control of her expression , biting her lip as she seethed .

Did Summer tell you not to help me on purpose because she hates me that much ? No , Peyton .

I chose to help her on my own .

Peyton looked as if she had heard something unbelievable .

She shook her head repeatedly , her tears now real .

A sharp pain stabbed through her chest , making it hard to breathe .

Choking back a sob , she said , Trevor , how can you do this to me ? Im the one who loves you the most .

If your mother hadnt forced me to leave you back then , you would still be my boyfriend now .

Trevor felt guilty , but this time , he did not waver .

Im sorry , Peyton .

I can agree to anything else , but not this .

Peyton knew Trevors personality well , once he made a decision , he would not change it .

Digging her nails into her palm , she forced herself to stay composed .

Peyton , you are gentle .

Men can never escape when they are consumed by guilt .

I understand , Trevor .

I put you in a difficult position .

Im sorry .

Tears streaming down her face , her delicate figure trembling , Peyton turned and ran out .

Trevor watched as the door closed behind her .

He knew she was hurt .

But right now , his priority was to win Summer back .

He pulled out his phone and dialed Andrew .

Andrew , transfer one million dollars to Peytons account .

Since Yvette had once been a brand ambassador for Marloux , Summer was able to leverage that connection to secure a meeting with Martin Michaux , the brands director .

Martin was a middle aged Frenchman dressed in an elegant suit , his silver hair neatly combed .

He sat casually on the couch , one leg crossed over the other , flipping through Summers proposal .

After a brief glance , he placed the document atop a thick stack of other proposals .

Ms.

Stewart , just tell me why Marloux should open in your familys mall .

Summer followed his gaze .

She understood that these were all proposals submitted by competing businesses in Havenbrook .

The competition was intense .

Calm and composed , she outlined the benefits and advantages that Stewart Group could offer .

Martin smiled , a polite , charming smile , but his tone was indifferent .

Thats not the point .

Whatever your mall offers , the others can provide as well , cant they ? Lets not waste each others time .

Summer grew anxious .

Martin , I … Martin said In Havenbrook , connections matter .

The only reason youre here is because of Yvettes past association with our brand .

But when every mall is offering the same incentives , I have to prioritize relationships .

You understand ? Now , if youll excuse me .

With that , Summer was escorted out .

She glanced at it and saw a transfer receipt from Peyton .

It was one million dollars transferred from Trevor to Peyton .

Summers already sour mood turned even worse .

Why hadnt she deleted that woman yet ? Now Peyton was flaunting her wealth in front of her ? Her fingers moved to delete WhatsApp , but before she could , her phone rang .

By accident , she answered .

A deep , familiar voice came through the speaker .

Summer , come back to me .

Ill help you secure Marlouxs partnership with Stewart Group .

Summer let out a cold laugh , her eyes flashing with determination .

No need , Trevor .

Were over .

Ill secure Marlouxs partnership on my own .
