Chapter 144 Jessica Is Too Blased
Daniel was using a classic sales tactic to force Henry’s hand, pushing him into a corner to make a deal. But it was somewhat clumsy to someone like Henry, who had faced countless similar situations before and wouldn’t be easily intimidated.
“I’ll only offer five million, and if Daniel is willing to buy the Blood Jade for ten million, I have no objections!” Henry still hoped to secure the Blood Jade for five million, reminding Nicholas, “This offer only stands if you choose to deal with me from the beginning. If you refuse my offer and Daniel is just bluffing, not willing to spend ten
million, then my offer drops to three and a half million. Business is business, and if
you refuse now but decide to sell later, I’ll buy it – but my offer will be reduced.”
Henry’s tactic made Nicholas feel cornered since he knew Daniel was trying to help him and doubted Daniel would actually spend ten million. Accepting Henry’s offer
would mean turning a quick two million dollar profit, which was already quite generous. Nicholas was tempted.
Just as Nicholas was about to accept Henry’s offer, Daniel turned to Jessica and
said, “Jessica, give Nicholas the money.”
“Okay!” Jessica immediately transferred fifteen million dollars.
Everyone was astounded once more. They looked at Jessica in disbelief, then at Daniel with even greater astonishment. Jessica was known to be a decisive woman who didn’t blindly accept just anyone’s advice. What had this country boy assistant
done for her to trust him so implicitly?
To most people, ten million was a fortune they couldn’t earn in a lifetime, yet Jessica seemed to hand it over without blinking an eye to this country boy. Brittany found it
hard to accept.
“Jessica, that’s ten million! How can you just give it to this country boy so easily? Aren’t you spoiling him too much? You’re not his mother.”
“I’m lending it to Daniel. I’m lending him ten million, and he has to return me fifteen million by midnight. A 50% daily return rate – give me a reason not to go through
with it?”

“Okay, Jessica, here’s why all he’s good at is talking big. He has no real skills, he’s just full of hot air. Him paying you back fifteen million by midnight is impossible!”
“Whether it’s possible or not, we don’t know yet. When the time comes, we’ll see the outcome. Brittany, if you can generate a 50% return for me in one day, I’d be happy to lend you ten million as well.”
Jessica’s response left Brittany at a loss for words. She didn’t believe she could
make a promise like Daniel’s, to turn ten million into more than fifteen million in less than a day. If she could do that, she wouldn’t need to be working at The Matthews Organization.
“I don’t have that kind of ability, but I also don’t boast like he does. Just wait and see, Jessica; this country boy will blow through that ten million, and I don’t think he’ll make any profit.”
After that remark, Brittany turned to Daniel with a sneer. “Well, country boy, Jessica has given you the ten million. Now it’s your turn to show us what you can do. I want to see how you’re going to sell that Blood Jade to Henry for fifteen million!”
