Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 376: The Project Is a Huge Trap, Do Not Sign
Virgil Ford narrowed his eyes instantly.
Jasper Ford sat beside Serena Sterling.
Serena exchanged a glance with him.
She had just thought, since she was already facing Virgil Ford, the First Young Master of the Ford family, wouldn’t it be better to just call Jasper Ford over?
Although she could manage a hundred million herself, why not have Jasper Ford join her?
Currently, Virgil Ford still has the time to target her.
She wants Jasper Ford to develop more quickly.
Let Virgil Ford be preoccupied dealing with Jasper Ford, leaving no time to trouble her.
After talking with Brandon Huxley just now, he also made a call to the hospital.
Serena watched as Brandon Huxley confirmed with the other party that the partnership would continue.
Therefore, this project is not a trap.
Besides...
She wasn’t busy all night for nothing.
Not only did she confirm this order’s information, but she also obtained other news.
Besides this order, there are others, though they have yet to be revealed.
To be honest, Brandon Huxley is indeed a brave man.
At the moment, there are four parties at the table.
Serena and Jasper Ford on one side, Virgil Ford and Isla Lawson on the other.
"Third brother, I’ll give you a piece of advice, don’t mess with things you don’t understand, or else you’ll lose everything," Virgil Ford said with a smile.
But Jasper Ford shook his head indifferently, "Even if it costs me everything, as long as I can make you look bad, big brother, I’m happy to do it!"
Virgil Ford exchanged a glance with Isla Lawson, sharing a mutual understanding.
If they could trap Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford together this time, it would be ideal.
Virgil Ford secretly messaged Isla Lawson under the table.
Virgil Ford: Is your information accurate? Has Aether’s core technical staff confirmed their departure?
Isla Lawson: Affirmative, he’s been discreetly asking around for a buyer, seeing if anyone’s interested in his shares, although it’s within a small circle, I still got the news. There’s confirmation as of yesterday, with a buyer signing off this afternoon.
After a moment’s thought, Isla Lawson sent another message.
Isla Lawson: I can’t stand Serena Sterling, don’t you think I’d help her?
Reading this, Virgil Ford didn’t doubt further.
After all, he’s here primarily to vex Serena Sterling, nothing more, now adding Jasper Ford to the mix, even better!
He’s also aware of the animosity between Isla Lawson and Serena Sterling. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Two birds with one stone!
"Ahem..." At this moment, Brandon Huxley spoke up on stage.
"Everyone, have you made up your minds?" Brandon Huxley asked with a smile.
Virgil Ford was the first to respond, "Since there’s one more person now, alright, third brother, to give you a chance, I’ll offer less."
Isla Lawson nodded in agreement, "There are no other people here now, how about I suggest a quarter each, seventy-five million, how does that sound?"
Meaning, they each pitch in one hundred fifty million, leaving Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford a quota of one hundred fifty million.
Virgil Ford smiled, looking at Jasper Ford with meaningful eyes, "I think it’s good, third brother, do you dare to take it on?"
Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford exchanged a glance.
Jasper Ford understood Serena Sterling’s intention and nodded, "Why not?"
"That’s not how it works, third brother," Virgil Ford smiled, "This requires signing a contract, real cash transactions, third brother, do you have enough liquid assets?"
"Hahaha, you needn’t worry about that, big brother," Jasper Ford replied.
"Is that so?" Virgil Ford chuckled, turning to Serena Sterling with a peculiar smile.
Serena Sterling still didn’t say anything, while Isla Lawson glanced at her.
"Serena Sterling, what? Still six million?" Isla Lawson mocked, "Have Jasper Ford cover the rest for you?"
Serena Sterling lifted her eyes to look at Isla Lawson.
Some time ago, Xander Linton called her to say that he had made things clear with Isla Lawson.
But now it seems that Isla Lawson still dislikes her as before.
"Aeon, seventy-five million," Serena Sterling said.
Isla Lawson laughed again.
Her phone showed just-received latest news — "All funds in Serena Sterling’s account are borrowed; her several million principal is currently trapped at sea."
"Our people visited MKK to inquire, the scheduled time hasn’t been specifically set, but it’s known it won’t be long, once the time arrives and funds aren’t repaid, her collateral, including items formerly belonging to Evan Sheridan, will belong to MKK."
Isla Lawson fiddled with her phone, smiling, "Serena Sterling, are you sure?"
"Wasn’t it your suggestion?" Serena Sterling smiled, "I agreed, aren’t you happy?"
"Happy!" Isla Lawson laughed and nodded, "Of course, happy!"
She even clapped her hands, glancing at Brandon Huxley, "Let’s sign, I’ve even brought the company seal."
Brandon Huxley blinked, looking at the circle of people watching him, only then understanding.
"Oh, oh, okay, does anyone have other objections?" Brandon Huxley asked.
A smile on his lips.
He originally thought raising one hundred million was already good, now not only has he raised three hundred million, but the hospital matter is resolved too.
Serena Sterling is even willing to lend him money.
Actually, the relationship between the two brothers has always been very good, Aether was created by the two of them together, and over the days, many people have offered high prices to poach the other, but the other never accepted.
This time, indeed, it was his mother’s illness that caused his wavering.
However, it’s all resolved.
Company staff appeared, prepping for the signing ceremony and such.
The contract was reviewed by the accompanying legal team, who discussed and modified a few clauses. Finally, Serena Sterling signed her name.
Beside her, Jasper Ford followed suit, investing seventy-five million himself.
Signatures, seals.
The two exchanged another look.
Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford completed theirs swiftly and efficiently, while the legal team brought by Virgil Ford and Isla Lawson continued to negotiate slowly.
Isla Lawson watched as Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford sealed the contract, the smile on her face widening.
She looked at Virgil Ford.
Virgil Ford nodded.
Isla Lawson pressed a button.
Just then, a person rushed in from outside, startling everyone present.
"What’s wrong? What’s happened?" Isla Lawson immediately asked.
"Miss Lawson, something’s wrong! I just received some news, don’t sign the contract!" the person shouted.
The sound echoed throughout the conference room.
"What’s going on?" Isla Lawson appeared worried, "We just finalized the deal, we were about to seal it."
"Aether’s core technical staff have left, the company no longer has development potential; this contract can’t be signed!" the person shouted loudly.
Brandon Huxley’s face turned pale.
"Is that so?" Isla Lawson feigned shock, looking incredulously at Brandon Huxley on stage, "Mr. Huxley, you actually deceived me! No deal! We’re leaving!"
