William turned to his secretary and excitedly exclaimed, "Candy, did you hear that? I'm not dreaming, am I? I never expected this rundown factory to become so valuable. It's one thing to have someone want to buy it, but now Bristow Group wants to buy the factory, and they're offering 16 million dollars!"Candy shuddered with disbelief and gasped, "What?! Are you serious? Sixteen million dollars?"William, bursting with excitement, replied, "It's true. They said they'd send the contract over soon.""Oh my god!" Candy exclaimed, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "But Mr. Vincenzo, didn't you just sell the factory to Mr. Chanter for ten million dollars?"William slapped his thigh and groaned, "Oh no, I forgot about that! Candy, what should we do now? Mr. Chanter's offer is only ten million dollars while Bristow Group is offering 16 million dollars. That's a difference of six million dollars!"Candy's face also grew serious. Previously, the factory's sale price was only si
William immediately smiled and said, "Quick, please bring them in."Not long after, Liam entered William's office with Calum. With the factory in high demand, William was in high spirits. When Liam and Calum entered the office, they saw William lounging on the sofa, smoking a cigar, showing no intention of getting up.Upon seeing Liam, William sized him up and asked, "So you're the boss of LJC Group?"Liam frowned, glanced at William's somewhat arrogant posture, and replied calmly, "Yes, I am. Now let's proceed with the signing."William smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he handed over the contract, which was altered by his secretary, and said, "Alright, let's sign. Here's the contract."As Liam took the contract and glanced over it. He was prepared to sign when he noticed that the purchase price on the contract was changed from ten million dollars to 20 million dollars!Liam's expression darkened instantly. He asked with a frown, "What's going on? Didn't we agree on ten
Calum could not hold back his anger any longer. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Mr. Vincenzo, do you realize that hiking up the price like this at the last minute is something I can sue you for?"William's antics pushed Calum to his limit. He detested people who disregarded their word. He would have torn the factory apart, beaten William, and locked him up if it were not for Liam being there.However, William was not intimidated by Calum’s outburst. He leaned back in his chair, chuckling, "Mr. Chanter, you must be joking with me, right? Do you want to sue me? On what grounds? We didn’t sign a contract, so how can you claim we agreed on ten million dollars?"I’ll let you in on something, our factory was indeed valued at ten million dollars before. But things have changed. Just a while ago, someone offered 24 million dollars for our factory. If it weren't for the prior discussions with Mr. Chanter, I wouldn’t be offering it to you for 20 million dollars. If you’
William slapped the table and shouted, "Men, show them out!"Immediately, several employees walked in, ready to escort Liam and Calum out.Liam raised his hand and said, "Hold on!"Seeing this, William smirked with satisfaction, thinking he won. "It seems Mr. Cole has come to his senses. That’s more like it. Twenty million dollars for our factory is a fair price. If you’ve made up your mind, stop wasting time and sign the contract."Liam let out a cold laugh, his eyes glinting with frost. "No, no, no, Mr. Vincenzo. I think you misunderstood. I’m not agreeing to sign for 20 million dollars. I’ve also changed my mind. Your factory’s original asking price was six million dollars, correct? Then I’ll offer four million dollars to buy it. How does that sound?"William was momentarily stunned.'What?! Four million dollars?'Realizing what Liam said, William's expression darkened. He pushed his secretary off his lap and stood up from his chair, glaring at Liam with eyes full of fury.P
William laughed maliciously, his eyes full of menace. "That's right! I'm forcing this deal. The only way for you to walk out of this office is to sign the contract!"Liam scoffed. "And what if I refuse to sign?""What?! Refuse to sign? Looks like you need to be taught a lesson. Boys, break his legs and then pin him down to sign the contract!"William's face contorted with rage as he barked his orders, his eyes gleaming with a murderous intent.At his command, four thugs armed with batons advanced toward Liam with a sinister grin on their faces. To them, Liam appeared weak and easy to overpower. He was not their match at all. They were confident it would only take two punches at most to take him down.At that moment, Calum, standing by Liam's side, narrowed his eyes and swiftly drew a gun from his waist. In a quick motion, he positioned himself behind William, twisting his arms behind his back and pressing the cold, menacing barrel of the gun against William's temple."You've got
"Mr. Cole, sorry for coming late, but you can rest assured everything outside has been taken care of," Eaden said respectfully.Liam nodded in acknowledgment.As soon as William recognized who walked in, his face went pale with fear, and his eyes filled with terror. His legs went weak, causing him to nearly collapse onto the ground."Mr. Wafer!" Eaden's voice trembled as he spoke, indicating just how terrified he was.'What on earth is going on? What's the mafia boss doing here? Who exactly is this Mr. Cole to make even Eaden Wafer behave so deferentially toward him?'William dared not imagine. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind, 'This is it. It's all over for me.'Calum, who held onto William, released him. He watched as William knelt on the ground, then chuckled coldly and asked, "Well, Mr. Vincenzo, weren't you just being arrogant? Why are you kneeling now?"As Calum spoke, he kicked William, continuing, "Say something! Weren't you just saying you'd crippl
Trembling all over and ignoring the glass shards beneath him, William hastily crawled up from the ground. He knelt in despair, crying out, "Mr. Cole, I truly realize my mistake! Please spare me this time. Four million dollars for the acquisition is too little. The factory was originally priced at six million dollars! Mr. Cole, I beg of you, I'm also in a difficult situation. I have elderly parents and young children depending on me. Please, have mercy. I truly know I was wrong.""Shut up!" Eaden angrily interrupted William's plea, his face full of anger as he stared at him with cold eyes. "William, you have some nerve. You should feel honored that Mr. Cole wants to buy your factory. Yet, you dare to raise the price! You know very well the value of your factory. Four million dollars is already more than fair. What more do you want?!"Eaden naturally exuded an aura of authority, and his anger made him even more intimidating.William was trembling like a leaf in the wind from fear. He
Liam gave a cold glance at the new contract and said icily, "If you agree, then sign it.""Yes, yes, I'll sign it right away."Looking at the newly printed contract and the price of four million dollars, William felt extremely unwilling, but he was constrained by fear and had no choice but to sign it.As soon as he finished signing, William felt as if all his strength was drained from him. He slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.He thought the matter would end there, but to his surprise, Liam's cold voice rang out again after signing the contract."It's not over yet. You mentioned someone competing with me earlier. Who is it?" Liam asked coldly.William's heart trembled. At that point, he had no choice but to answer honestly, "Mr. Cole, it's Bristow Group. They offered 16 million dollars to buy my factory."Liam chuckled coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent. "Haha, Bristow Group? Very well, it seems they haven't learned their lesson!"Afterwa
