Chapter 97 of "RE: Perverted Sugar Daddy System" opens presenting: Denise didn't miss a beat when she said yes, she stood looking at me with... Don’t stop now!

Denise didn't miss a beat when she said yes, she stood looking at me with her hands crossed like this was something that should have been done since a long time ago. When I had set out looking for a lawyer, a personal attorney to help me deal with all the hassles of law was what I wanted. An attorney of power was the last thing on my mind, I had no desire to have someone meddling in my affairs and running my matters. "I'm not looking for a power of attorney" "You aren't, but you need one." "Are you referring to your previous mentions of my lack of means?" I questioned showing that just those words hadn't won me over. "It seems I was wrong and you failed to understand me" "No, I understood you, but I don't see why I need to go as far as needing a power of attorney," I said taking a drag of my stick. "I see, then let me truly make you understand why. Have you thought about how you will deal with your public image" "I don't plan on having one" "That's good, but what about the calls that have been coming in, how do you plan to deal with them." " I'll deal with them" "You alone plan to handle 20+ calls where you most likely have to talk with every single one of them for about 2 minutes, establish a relationship and possibly even make agreements and set meetings while still having time to go to school, study, rest and engage in your other affairs." My forehead scrunched at this question as I remembered the several calls I had received back in Michigan. "Even if you somehow find a way to answer all this call, how much knowledge do you have in negotiation. Do you know how to handle your way around politicians, because I assure you they will be looking for you. With all the money coming in, how do you identify the best possible way to invest your money? Your time becomes more valuable, how do you deal with the massive change in your social status? I admire your desire to be yourself, but surely you don't think you can keep staying in that one-room apartment of yours." Having been shredded apart so far, I decided to be petty and defend against this one jab. "What's wrong with my apartment." "How do you think the people who associate with you will react if they see where you stay." "It's where I stay, why should I care how others react." "Because while your face might be out of the public eyes, it cannot be out of the mouths of the upper circle. How they treat you and the value they give to you and the things you care about is affected" "tch," I snorted in defeat. "You yourself have no interest in dealing with these details and I know that for a fact, given how fast you ran to me after being betrayed by your previous lawyer." Denise sounded smug but her expression remained calm all through. "Why would you think I was betrayed by her." "An average college student who suddenly inherits over a billion dollars is a ripe harvest for any money-hungry scrouge. I guess Garce couldn't resist the chance to screw you over but you somehow escaped." At this junction, I scratched my chin and relented. "You can be my power of attorney but we'll need to work on the finer details of what this entails." "That won't be a problem," Denise said, her hands falling to the side and tension in her shoulder relaxing. "With your permission though I would like to begin acting this evening." "Why," "The man you saw out there, his name is Lambert, he is the legal attorney of this Resort. I came here this evening to talk to him about having a stake in it. Though I was initially only prodding, I was able to convince him to sell at a good price. I planned to meet you tomorrow, to tell you about the deal but since we've already met and you've agreed to me being your POA I would like to take the next step in the deal tonight." Denise's words had me narrow my eyes at her, but the woman showed no discomfort to my gaze. Instead, she had her dominant posture slouched just a bit as she waited for my next words. "What makes you think I would want to own a resort" I asked my gaze shifting to the area around me, taking in all the sights. "Once again, it's not what you want, but what you need. Given that Los Angeles is your home base, I believe it is best that you at least have a presence here." "How much stake and how much will it cost." "20% and it will cost 50 million dollars" My eyes widened when I heard the number and then I closed my eyes and shook my head. "You don't even know if I have such numbers. "I strongly believe you do, and even if you don't, we'll just get a loan." "And what if I don't want a loan" "Do you have a reason that doesn't have to do with your personal aversion to a loan" My lips twitched as Denise once more perfectly read me and I couldn't be curious. "Don't you know me a bit too well?" "Yeah, During the nightmare I got to gain some understanding of the kind of person you are." "Just so we're clear, the option of helping you clear your debt is off the table since you initially rejected it and came to me on your own time." Considering other than helping her get revenge, clearing off her debts was the next biggest advantage Denise gained in working for me, I expect her to have a strong reaction to this but she calmly nodded her head. "Knowing you, I figured as much, and it's okay, helping me get revenge is enough for me to work for you till eternity. I want to apologize for the delay in giving you a reply. It took me longer than it should have to come to a decision." Though I wondered what caused the delay I simply nodded to her words, finding them easy to take in since after all, I understood her feelings. "I wanted to sue the resort but seeing as I plan on owning a piece of it that wouldn't be a wise thing would it? "It won't, but I'll see if I can use this incident to get some concessions." "That still doesn't satiate the rage in me" Denise raised an eyebrow at my words her eyes romancing over my body which showed no hint of anger and then looked down the balcony. "Will putting the manager in prison help" "Put him and the idiotic guards there" "Okay. Can I conclude this incident," "No, a group of people hit my girlfriend, they won't be going free. " I moved to return inside and get a proper story from Valera but was stopped.
