Chapter 784
“So don’t sign your contract. Leave the rest to me!” Ariel said, splaying her hands.
“What? 780 million dollars? Don’t patronize me!” Ashwin’s jaw dropped at this. Elegante Group’s selling. price was only 650
million dollars, yet Ariel was claiming that someone was willing to buy the company at 780 million dollars–he would be an idiot to
believe her!
“I’m not! I’ve already settled the necessary processing pertaining to the shares and the funds. I’ll explain all this to Iris, and if she
signs the equity transfer agreement, she’ll receive the money immediately!” Ariel replied calmly.
“No, I don’t allow this!” Ashwin immediately objected. He had already pledged loyalty to Jacob and even accepted Mister Mabre’s
offer of giving him seven million dollars as a reward, but now that he was just one signature away from getting his hands on all
this, Ariel had popped out of nowhere to ruin all his plans!
“Why not? I managed to find someone willing to pay much more than your buyer does, so what gives you right to object to this?”
Ariel could not believe her ears.
“I...” Ashwin was rendered speechless by this.
the
From a business perspective, Ariel was indeed offering a higher price, and since he had yet to sign the official contract with
Mister Mabre, he indeed was not in a position to object.
“The price your buyer is offering sounds too good to be true. Who knows whether they’re lying or not? This doesn’t sound
reliable at all, and I won’t allow it unless I see the money before my eyes!” Ashwin tried to stand his ground.
“Oh, stop it, Ashwin! Let me tell you this–the buyer has already given me the money, all 780 million dollars worth of it, so how
dare you accuse this transaction of being fake?” Ariel scoffed. She could tell from Ashwin’s unusually defensive behavior that he
had received a significant commission out of this, which was why he was so reluctant to let this go..
“What? How...how can this be?” Ashwin was stunned by this. He never thought, not even in his wildest dreams, that not only
would Ariel be able to find a buyer willing to buy out Elegante Group at such an absurd price, but she had already received the
money.
He had known Ariel for quite some time now, and he knew that she was not lying.
Ashwin’s heart sank at this realization.
“Please think twice about it, Ashwin. If you continue trying to stop me, I’ll call Iris right now and tell her what you’re doing!” Ariel
took out her phone and dangled it in front of Ashwin, threatening him.
The truth was, she could easily resolve this issue by giving Iris a quick phone call, and Iris would surely want to accept the better
offer.
However, unfortunately, Leon was determined to stay concealed and was unwilling to let Iris find out about his involvement in all
this. Otherwise, Ariel would have called Iris by now and did not need to come all the way just to stop Ashwin from signing the
contract with Mister Mabre!
“I...” the color drained from Ashwin’s face as he shot Mister Mabre a meaningful glance.
Mister Mabre understood and immediately picked up his pen.
As long as they signed the contract, either party would have to pay thirty percent of the selling price in compensation for breaking
the contract, and there would not be any point in Ariel trying to stop them anymore, even if the buyer was willing to offer 780
million dollars!
“How dare you try to play things crooked?” Leon sneered, stepped forward, and whipped the two contracts away from Mister
Mabre.
“What are you doing, Leon? Give that back to us!” Ashwin’s expression turned dark as he reached out to
snatch the contract back.
Leon swatted him nonchalantly, and Ashwin, who had never been a match for Leon physically, crumpled onto the ground from
the impact.
