Chapter 97: I hope you are ready
"What proposition?" Jazmine Harrison was surprised. Looking at his expressions, she couldn't find anything that could tell if he was being sincere or if it was one of his other tricks. Jazmine wouldn't be fool enough to trust David Anderson... not again.
But whatever he had wanted to say did pique her interest.

"The proposition. I don't think you are a stupid woman, as you've proved in the last few weeks." The side of David Anderson's lips twitched upward. "You must know that if the Anderson empire turns against you, you'll stand no chance in New York. That's the reason you haven't confronted me directly yet. Means you must have known that before."
"So...?" Jazmine didn't know where he wanted to get by mentioning that.
"Hand over your company willingly, and I'll help you get the best escape out of the situation," he suddenly said.

"You don't understand the gravity of the situation," David had expected that response. "I am providing you with the best I can within my abilities. I can assure yours and your grandfather's safety in exchange for that."
"How am I supposed to understand that? You're asking me to give up my company. The whole argument is comical." Jazmine had had enough of him. She pulled open the door. "If you'll excuse me."
