The next morning, I went straight to Maple Media to look for Ben.
The Dazzling project could not be delayed for too long. I had to get the construction materials from the Smith Group before the media exposed this matter.
When Ben saw me, he was a little surprised. "Natalia, why are you here at this time?"
I went straight to the point and expressed my intentions. I omitted the part that Gemma had deliberately calculated and only expressed that the Dazzling Project was in urgent need of some construction materials. Coincidentally, the construction materials used for Sea City Real Estate were the same.
I sincerely said, "Dad, I hope you can help me this time. As for the price, I definitely won't let Maple Media lose anything."
I thought that since I was his biological daughter, he would definitely not reject such a thing. Unexpectedly, after I finished speaking, Ben actually revealed a difficult expression.
He thought for a moment and sighed. "Natalia, why didn't you say so earlier? I didn't expect you to ask me to borrow the construction materials from Sea City Real Estate.
"To be honest, the construction period of the project is very tight. Even if I want to transfer the construction materials to you now, my partners won't agree."
I was stunned on the spot. I didn't expect Ben to reject me with such a reason. "Dad, I did an investigation before I came. The delivery time for the Sea City Real Estate is two months later. There's obviously enough time for the construction."
Speaking softly and delicately, I tried to continue negotiating with him, "Moreover, I'm not suggesting I borrow all of Maple Media's building materials, just a portion to use for the Dazzling Project to silence external criticisms.
The media is currently fixated on the Dazzling Project, and our competitors within the circle are just waiting to laugh at our misfortune. Can't you make an exception for my sake?" My tone was humble as I placed all my hopes on him.
Ben responded immediately after I finished speaking, rejecting my proposal without hesitation. He stood up and walked toward me, his face troubled as he said, "Using influence for personal gain is a major taboo in business. Do you want me to risk the Smith Group's projects for your sake? I've already taken a risk to save you once before; have you forgotten that?"
Ben narrowed his eyes and assumed a fatherly expression. "When you were kidnapped, I even risked Maple Media and my entire life by agreeing to help Forrest transport U3, which was illegal. But now you keep saying that the Sea City project's schedule is manageable. You have no idea of the difficulties I'm facing!
"Sure enough, you no longer think about me after you are married. Now that you're Mrs. Madden, you only think about the interests of the Madden Group. Have you forgotten that you're also a daughter of the Smith family?" Ben said in a series of remarks, ending with a deep sigh.
His words were piercing, leaving me stunned for a moment before I could finally gather my thoughts.
I realized that Ben had found so many perfunctory reasons. There was only one goal, and that was to never help me.
At the thought of this, I was extremely disappointed. I raised my head and looked at him. "Dad, you don't have to find so many excuses. It's precisely because I knew that we were father and daughter that I was certain that you would help me. Now, it seems that I was too naive."
Ben's expression darkened. He was clearly provoked by my words. "According to you, if I'm unwilling to help you, does that mean I don't treat you as my daughter?"
He sneered at me. "You keep saying that you're my daughter, but everything you do is on your husband's side. You follow Quinn's lead.
