Chapter 589 A. Stranger
Jaime was confused “what do you mean she played us
A small deformed on Willam’s pale, dry lips. “I Ünally understand why she publicly insulted you in the church.”
instinctively asked, “Why?”
“only by publicly invahting you could she get the news spread. She wanted everyone to know that the Filo Group has fallen out with SAM,” William said.
Both of them were as clever as foxes. Once he thought through, he sensed something was off.
The Flo Group had been trying to acquire SAM for ages. Why would they suddenly have a fall out? Something strange had happened, so william wanted to investigate further.
He prompdy sent someone to lock into it, and it didn’t take long before he learned that Emelie had secretly signed a gambling contract with an investment bank and was acquicing SAM shares. Thinking this was het strategy, William instructed the Cloudex Corporation to acquire SAM shares too.
Unbeknownst to him, her true intention was to let him know what she was doing and to bring the Cloudex Corporation into the game. The more favorable the Clouder Corporation’s position was, the more it would pressure SAM toward the Fin Group
To put it into simpler terms, all the talk of gambling contracts, share acquisitions, esults, and corporate thealties were just for show. She was actually using the cloudex Corporation, to force SAM, who had no intention of sling, to willingly tum to the Fila Group
Ather bearing William’s explanation, Jaime fell silent for a long while. Instead of getting angry, he burst out laughing.
“Wow, despite her young age, her tactics are impressive!” Jaime praised.
Based on her predictions, SAM were to be acquired, Jaime would lety prefer the domestic Fileoup over a orign company. After all, it was a matter of sentiment Hence, she deployed this clever move. She had done it on purpose, considering that the Caudex Corporation might acquire 5% of the remaining 6% of floating shares in the
marker
By leveraging the competition with Cloudex, she could inflate SAM’s stock price as SAM’s performance had been sluggish for months.
Additionally, this would ensure that the File Group could reap the benefits after acquiring SAM, all while setting the gambling contract with the investment bank, killing three birds with one stone Like new waves pushing out old ones, the younger generation was always surpassing the older generation.
Jame wasn’t upset because the die had already been cast. On top of that, he found talented and shrewd people to be quite likable. Hence, he admired Enelle for that
However, he was surprised that Willam, who had been used and turned into a pawn, wasn’t angry. After all, he was not known for his kindness
Barber, when Jaime mentioned that Willis seemed less happy than at their last meeting, it was because he detected a sense of indifference in hin. I was as if nothing could move
However, William ww.currently wearing a small smile jame, putting on his reading glasses to look closely, couldn’t tell if it was satadaction, relief, or assurance. Jame was perred. “Do you know that woman?
“I don’t even know her name. Howeodd I know her? William said. He stuffed his hands into his trousers pockets, making him look tall and slender.
While Jaime didn’t know the woman’s name either, he wondered why William was reacting this way if he didn’t know her: He almost thought the woman meant something to him as he almost seemed pleased with her growth
Jame couldn’t understand him and took off his glasses, wiping them with a cloth before putting them away
He casually asked, “When are you heading back to Cedonia? Tomorrow?
With the Codex Corporation and Xanther Group under his weg, he couldn’t be away for too long.
William planned to leave the next day. However, before he replied, Jaime said, “I’m having lunch with that woman hom the Filo family tomorrow. If there’s time, I’ll take you to the airport. Who knows when we’ll meet again?”
William paused for a moment, swallowing the words he was about to say.
He replied softly, “I’ll leave the day after tomorrow. Where are you having licht?
“She chose to have lunch at Ambroise,” Jaime replied
Jame thought william was asking because he intended to join him for the meal and meet that impressive woman
However, the next day at noon, when Jaime arrived at the restaurant, he didn’t see William anywhere.
Emelie noticed Jaime glancing toward the door repeatedly and curiously asked, “Mr. Torres, are you expecting another guest?
Since William hadn’t shown up, Jaime decided not to mention him. “No, I was just looking around.”
Meanwhile, at the hotel, Ashton asked William if he wanted to go to the restaurant. At that moment, William was sitting on a sada by the window, casually flipping through a magazine.
He replied nonchalantly, “‘s too far. Besides, have you eat see
Least seen two rival companies having a meal p
peacehilly?!
“Alright, let me make your lunch arrangements then,” Ashton said.
As Ashton turned to leave the room, she thought, “That restaurant is just down the street How is that far?
She assumed that William had intentionally changed his flight schedule just for this meal. She simply didn’t understand why he was contemed about a stranger.
After she closed the door behind her, the room bell silent, leaving William alone Heclosed the magazine and walled to the window
From the back window of hh room, he could see the street directly below, and the restaurant was diagonally across from him
