"Ollie Booth, this is your company?"
William Cole looked at the ridiculous man before him, who bore no resemblance to the sleazy character he had seen at the hotel.
Ollie Booth explained, "Heh heh, Mr. Cole, bet you didn't know, the largest private lending company in Midocen is mine. I just put it under other people's names."
Over the years, he had made a killing from his high-interest loan business.
But because his personal record was tainted, he couldn't open a company under his own name.
So he set up a private lending company under a subordinate's name. After more than a decade of hard work, it had grown to become the largest private lending company in Midocen.
And Ollie Booth was the boss behind the scenes.
In his spare time, he mingled with wealthy young men and lent them money, cultivating his networks.
"Very clever of you."
William Cole nonchalantly sat himself down on the sofa. Ollie Booth quickly poured himself a cup of hot water and passed it to him.
