Chapter 170: Shares
Abby’s smile widened, a predatory glint in her eyes as she leaned forward, her voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper. "I’ll sell you my shares of the company," she stated bluntly, her words cutting through the tension like a knife. "At a price, of course."
Harrison’s eyes narrowed as he considered Abby’s proposition, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew there had to be a catch, but the thought of gaining control over the company was too tempting to resist.
"And what, pray tell, would this price be?" he inquired, his tone cautious.
Abby smiled as she leaned back in her chair, her eyes glittering with satisfaction. "Uncle," she purred, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "the price? Well, let’s just say it’s a little something called compensation ."
Harrison’s brows furrowed in confusion, a flicker of apprehension creeping into his expression. "Compensation?" he repeated, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
Abby nodded, her smile widening into a smirk as she delivered her ultimatum. "That’s right," she declared, her voice ringing with authority. "I’ll sell you my shares of the company for a cool twenty million dollars. Cash. No negotiations."
Harrison’s eyes widened in shock at Abby’s audacious demand, his mind reeling at the staggering figure. But even as his instinctive greed surged, a nagging sense of dread gnawed at the pit of his stomach. He knew that accepting Abby’s offer would be a bitter pill to swallow, but the thought of losing control over the company was too much to bear.
"Twenty million dollars?" he sputtered, his voice betraying his disbelief.
Abby’s smirk deepened, her gaze unwavering as she locked eyes with her uncle. "Take it or leave it," she said, her tone final. "But remember, time is important . The longer you hesitate, the higher the price goes."
