Chapter 386 20 Million Turns to 200 Million


    “What are you trying to say, Ms. Quint?”


    Dave narrowed his eyes. “Our legal teams drafted the contract, and


    now you’re saying you’re not signing it. You’re wasting my time.


    He sounded malice. His demeanor screamed gangster insteapany director.


    Thud.


    Darcy threw the contract on the table and said curtly, “I’m not wa your time. You were not serious with


    the deal. We agreed on 20 million dors on a year’s lease, but the amount here has changed 200


    million dors.”


    200 million dors? The rental went up tenfold.


    Another 200 million dors and Darcy could buy the title deed to Clover Center outright.


    Riley and the others behind Darcy were startled.


    With haste, Riley stepped forward and grabbed the document for a look. Sure enough, the rental price


    was 200 million dors.


    “You’ve gone too far to change your mind at thest minute, Mr.


    Pam.”


    Riley hurled the papers down on the table furiously. She was near


    tears.


    It was a good thing she was not in charge of signing the contract. She would have put her signature on


    it without inspecting the details. She could potentially inflict an irreversible loss on thepany.


    Even though the jig was up, Dave did not seem embarrassed or angry.


    He leaned back against his chair, facing his bottom soles toward Darcy as he said cheekily, “Careful


    with the usation, Ms. Quint. You can ask around. I run an honest business.


    “I have gotten several interests in renting Clover Centertely. I didn’t rent the building to them. Do you


    know why?


    “I wanted to rent the ce to you, Ms. Quint. That way, I can s often when you clock in for work.”


    Darcy ignored Dave’s flirting and said with an emotionless fa agreed on 20 million dors. You should


    have the contract re so we can sign it.


    Dave chuckled.


    “20 million dors was the price before. There’s a surge now, Ms.


    Quint.


    “Clover Center is in the city’s prime site. It’s an ideal location to have a corporate headquarters, so 200


    million dors a year isn’t much.


    “I can guarantee that you won’t find a better and reasonably priced office building than Clover Center.”


    Seeing that Dave would not budge, Darcy knew that negotiations had


    failed.


    “I’ll check out other ces.”


    Dave was taking advantage by changing the price from 20 million to 200 million.


    Darcy could not possibly agree to it.


    Clover Center was not the only office building avable in Lilyrose anyway. She had other choices.

    “Fine with me.”


    Dave shrugged without a care. “But Ms. Quint, let me be clear about one thing. We, at Skyline Estates,


    are the biggest realty in the city. We are the leading agents for office building leases.


    “Hehe. Even if you find another office building to your liking, you probably will have trouble renting it.”


    Darcy frowned as she could read the threat in Dave’s words.


    As Dave said, Skyline Estates was thergest property managpany in Lilyrose. They handled


    most, if not all,mercial


    spaces.


    “Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Pam, but I don’t have to rent buildings managed by your agency.”

    Refusing to be threatened, she spread her arms. “Please return th two-million-dor deposit to us.”


    “What two-million-dor deposit? What’s that about?”


    Dave scratched his head in confusion and asked his subordinate, ” Have we received a deposit from


    Quartet Group?”


    “No, Mr. Pam.”


    The subordinate yed along with Dave.


    “You’re lying. We have a receipt signed by your employee and sealed


    with your corporate stamp to prove the transaction.”


    Riley pulled out the receipt from her file angrily.


    “Let me see.”


    Dave took the paper from her for a look. He pursed his lips.


    Rip!


    DDave fore the receipt in half.
