Rose chuckled, her willow-leaf eyebrows arching slightly: “Seeing my consecutive victories, has Ms. Woods panicked?”
“Our Miss panic? What a joke!” Layla hadn’t even spoken when Kimber burst out, “Our Miss is only interested in pursuing breakthroughs in martial arts and medicine, not in petty business matters.”
“She just wants to end this quickly.”
“It’s not that she’s scared of you. If you choose to fight, my Miss wouldn’t mind destroying the Sharp’s Group completely!”
“She’s just pitying you by coming here to ask.”
“Fight or make peace, it’s up to you!”
Madeline also advised, “Ms. Sharp, it’s no shame to submit to Ms. Woods.”
“This business battle will only end in your utter defeat.”
“You’ve seen what Flynn is capable of. Harriet Hamilton is utterly devoted to him.”
“He must have been whispering in your ear all this time, giving you the illusion that you could defeat Ms. Woods.”
“Flynn is too arrogant, always trying to use the Sharp’s Group to slap Ms. Woods! He’s overestimating himself.”
“But as the helmswoman of the Sharp’s Group, you need to make your own judgments. Don’t let him deceive you!”
“I think you should…”
As she was speaking, Rose suddenly scoffed and shook her head continuously: “Foolish, truly foolish.”
“Madeline, do you realize you look like a clown?”
“Pretty on the outside, but is your brain all in your face?”
Stunned and embarrassed, Madeline was about to speak again when Rose raised her voice:
“A woman with a brain the size of a date pit dares to lecture me on what to do?”
“Better worry about yourself. The Kaur family crisis is imminent, I hope you can withstand it!”
Madeline, after her divorce, owed Marcel Hill of the Peninsula Group two hundred million dollars, a fact known to Rose.
She also knew that Madeline had borrowed two hundred million dollars at high interest rates to pay Marcel Hill back.
Now, suppliers Corbin Calder, Tristan, and Charlie Carlson were already on their way back to Niarak.
To curry favor with Flynn, they had given Madeline three contracts, which they would surely cancel on the spot once they knew of Madeline’s divorce.
Madeline was destined to be ruined.
“If Ms. Sharp won’t listen, then consider I never said anything.”
After a barrage of taunts from Rose, Madeline was utterly humiliated and filled with resentment.
The Kaur family crisis?
Ha-
I understand what you mean, Ms. Sharp.
Isn’t it just about agreeing to Flynn that after defeating Layla, you’d help deal with the Kaur family?
But what do you have to win with?
No denial, you might raise some funds, but as much as Layla?
Billions of dollars, Nathan doesn’t have that capability!
Oh! I know, you also think of using assassination, right?
As long as you kill Layla, you’re confident you can defeat Lilia, right?
After the attack in Northview, Layla became more cautious, you have no chance!
And, the attack in Northview on Layla was probably orchestrated by Flynn.
Truly despicable!
After all, there was an engagement between you; even if the deal fails, there should be some decency, not such despicable means.
Thinking this, Madeline shivered.
Flynn wouldn’t treat me the same way, would he?
Rose’s cold gaze swept across Madeline and landed on Layla: “The Sharp family motto: better to sing proudly in the rain and die than live in dependency.”
“Ms. Woods, use whatever means you have, I am ready!”
“Good!” Layla nodded coldly, “This is the last chance I’m giving Ms. Sharp. Business is ruthless, take care of yourself!”
With that, Layla turned and left.
“Take care, Ms. Sharp! I’m leaving first.” Madeline left those words behind and also got up to leave.
She wasn’t on Rose’s side, staying was awkward, and she didn’t want to see Flynn’s face anymore.
Listening to the dialogue between Layla and Rose, the final showdown tomorrow was inevitable.
Finally, the day had come.
After Layla takes down the Sharp’s Group, she will transfer two hundred million dollars to the Kaur family.
She had promised!
The contracts from Charlie Carlson and his companions would be funded soon, and Nathan would propose to me-bright prospects awaited the Kaur family!
“Come quickly tomorrow!”
Madeline looked forward with anticipation!
“Layla wants you to surrender again?” Flynn came from the front, handing Rose a piece of cake.
Rose nodded and didn’t bother with it anymore, elegantly taking a bite of the cake: “You completely offended Zion today.”
“Scared?” Flynn raised an eyebrow, smirking, “No worries, you can disassociate from me. Business is important, after all!”
“Get lost!” Rose rolled her eyes at him, scooping up the cake with a spoon, “I’ve said it before, even if you’re against the whole world, I’ll stand by your side.”
Flynn chuckled, “That sounds a bit romantic, doesn’t it?”
“Does Ms. Sharp want a duet?”
Rose glared fiercely at Flynn, “Be serious!”
“Drop by drop the favor is received, and in torrents it should be repaid; that’s my principle!”
Flynn was taken aback, reaching to feel her forehead, “What’s gotten into Ms. Sharp today? Are you feverish? You weren’t like this before!”
“Didn’t I say I owe the Sharp family a life debt? Helping is only right, isn’t it?”
Rose swatted Flynn’s hand away, retorting, “You should help the Sharp family, and I should help you. Is there a conflict?”
“Oh, is that so!” Flynn realized with a laugh, “So, I massaged your feet this morning, should you not do the same for me?”
“Even touching my leg would do.”
Rose was speechless, kicking towards Flynn.
Unexpectedly, Flynn caught her pristine ankle, his face breaking into a wicked grin, “Ms. Sharp really brought her leg over!”
Rose’s face flushed red, she whispered angrily, “Jerk, this is a banquet, put it down now!”
Though hidden by the tablecloth, and unknown to those around, Rose was incredibly flustered.
“A banquet?” Flynn grinned, “Does Ms. Sharp mean it’s only okay when it’s just the two of us?”
“You… put it down now, I have serious matters to discuss with you!” Rose’s beautiful eyes widened, both embarrassed and annoyed by Flynn’s teasing.
Flynn instantly lost interest and let go of her hand.
“Jerk!” Rose breathed a sigh of relief, wishing she could smash Flynn’s despicable hand with a fork, and after calming down a bit, she said:
“Zion is a vicious dragon, and his wife is no less dangerous. You hit their daughter; you better give General Cruz a heads-up.”
“Don’t take it lightly; the Hussain family’s power is not to be underestimated!”
Flynn shrugged, not wanting to dwell on this, and perfunctorily agreed, then started discussing the production and distribution of Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill and Bone Cleansing Pills.
No matter Layla’s attitude tomorrow, Rose was determined to confront her.
This business war would soon end, and by then, he would focus most of his energy on avenging his mother.
Thus, he wanted to take this opportunity to catch up on the company’s recent status.
Seeing Flynn’s smug face, Maisie Carlisle’s eyes nearly spit fire.
“Dad, I want The Elixir of Vigor.”
Zion paused, then smiled reassuringly, “Maisie, I know you can’t swallow this humiliation. Don’t worry, once your sister marries into the Wallace family, I’ll send Flynn to meet the King of Hell, and The Elixir of Vigor will be yours.”
Maisie Carlisle snorted, “Dad, you know the value of The Elixir of Vigor-extending life by thirty years, impervious to all poisons, a true miracle elixir!”
“The combined assets of the Hussain family couldn’t even buy it!”
“You promised Harriet Hamilton to stay in Niarak for five days. Can you ensure there won’t be any mishaps during this time?”
“What if she decides to give The Elixir of Vigor to the Hamilton family? Or if Flynn changes his mind and takes it back to sell?”
“And most importantly, if you wait until Harriet Hamilton is about to get married to take back The Elixir of Vigor, what if Stellan Wallace finds out?”
“We must take The Elixir of Vigor today, go back to Pelens, and create the illusion of a burglary to completely disassociate ourselves from The Elixir of Vigor!”
