James Campbell bit down on his back molars, glaring fiercely at Elly Campbell’s indifferent face, yet ultimately he was still defeated by her unshakeable demeanor that could annihilate him in an instant without a trace.
He had to admit that what Elly had said was right.
Facing the Elly in front of him, he barely had any power to fight back and could only let her manipulate him as she pleased. Should things really go as she said, with her forcibly financing the Campbell corporation or doing something even more excessive, he would likely end up with nothing.
So now, his only way out was truly only the one Elly had offered to him—
Purchase the shares she held.
He looked at Elly, who was confident in her approach, and it was quite clear that since she had come to him, she had predicted he would be willing to buy them.
Ha! This little bitch, just like her mother, always knew how to scheme. With every step she took, she had already calculated the next several moves.
"Based on the current stock price, I don’t have that much money to buy. Sell me twenty percent," he said, suppressing his anger, his voice cold.
A cold snort came from Elly’s mouth, "You think I’m stupid? Either buy all thirty-five percent or don’t even think about getting a single share."
Having said that, Elly picked up the document bag in her hand, stood up, and walked out.
"Elly, stop right there!"
Elly didn’t pause her steps, already reaching the main door.
James was so angry his teeth itched, he chased out of the house, "Then sell them to me at a discount, ninety percent, okay?"
"Listing price, not a cent less, take it or leave it."
Elly continued walking out, and as James saw she had absolutely no leeway, he hated her down to the cellular level.
Elly’s steps stopped at the doorway, as she turned back satisfactorily to look at James, "Rare to see you making such a smart choice."
James, no longer in the mood to argue with Elly, simply said, "I don’t have that much cash on hand, give me a few days."
"Three days? Elly, that’s over thirty billion, do you think it’s three hundred bucks?"
"Then that’s your problem. If you don’t have the money ready within three days, I’ll sell them to Uncle David."
Uncle David is the third-largest shareholder in the Campbell corporation, other than Elly and James Campbell, with eighteen percent of the shares.
If you add Elly’s thirty-five percent, the Campbell corporation could directly undergo a transfer of power.
Afterward, Elly didn’t say another word to James. The car she had called for was already waiting outside.
She simply got in the car, looking down at the document bag in her hands, the corners of her lips curling into a bloodthirsty sneer.
"This is just the beginning..."
She didn’t just want to drive James out of the Campbell corporation; she wanted to leave him with nothing.
Elly Campbell always held a grudge, and unless she felt completely avenged, she would not let go.
After leaving the Campbell home, she went to the hospital to visit Old Master, ensuring his health was improving and that he would be discharged in a couple of days before she felt reassured enough to leave.
Upon returning to the hotel where she was staying, as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Adam Jones leaning against the corridor wall opposite the elevator doors. His unfathomable pupils now shimmered with obscure emotions.
Seeing Elly, a flicker passed through Adam’s eyes, and the next second, he straightened up and walked towards her.
Remembering the words Adam had said to her at noon, Elly’s gaze turned heavier, and as Adam approached, she quickly increased the distance between them.
Without giving him another glance, she continued towards her own room.
Adam followed her and pushed against the door the moment Elly tried to close it, his somber eyes resting on Elly’s impatient face.
