Jefferson? If you do that, he will own 36%, even more than Liza! Then he will be thergest shareholder andpletely control Bryant Group.”


    Marco simply shrugged and said, “If he wants the shares, I’Ll sell them to him. I don’t want to hold onto anything rted to Bryant Group. If he wants to be the Largest shareholder, let him be. Bryant Group has nothing to do with me anymore.”


    Loraine, thinking of how cold-heartedly the Bryant family had treated him, didn’t bother to argue with Marco.


    “Now, your 1% is the most crucial piece,” Marco added. “Since you’re going to sell the shares, you should of course sell them for a good price.”


    He knew very well how desperate Jefferson was. He would pay anything to get those shares.


    Loraine shook her head when he said this. She had not expected him to be so cunning and ruthless. No wonder everyone in the business circles was afraid of Marco. Now, it was clear that his partnership with her had been really fair and gentle.


    Marco thought she was hesitating, so he whispered in her ear, “It is better to sell the shares today before it is too Late so that you won’t have a loss at the end of the day.”

    Marco wore his deception on his sleeve, regarding Jefferson as if he were eyeing a juicymb ready for the butcher’s block.


    Loraine stole a brief look at Jefferson, who was blithely ignorant of the maniption at y. His presumptuous confidence was somewhatical.


    Marco was correct. Marina was ill-equipped to tackle the uing obstacles that the Bryant Group would soon face, let alone the crafty


    Jefferson. Thepany’s stocks were sure to nosedive.


    It made sense to sell now, cashing out a substantial profit before the impending crash.


    With Marco secretly holding 15% of the shares, Jefferson saw a sliver of hope in hispetition with the Bryant family. He was willing to pay a premium for Loraine’s 1% share.


    Both Loraine and Marco, being savvy entrepreneurs,prehended this dynamic fully.


    However, Loraine never anticipated that her initial acquisition of these shares, merely to assist Marco, would unexpectedly present an opportunity for significant profit. It was a delightful surprise.


    Observing Loraine and Marco whispering and casting strange nces his way for some time, Jefferson grew ufortable. He rose and walked over to them, his smile strained.


    “Miss Torres, have you given my proposition any thought?”


    Suddenly, suspicion crept into his mind as he eyed Marco.


    “You aren’t nning to buy shares from Miss Torres, are you? Remember, you just dered severing ties with the Bryant Group. There should be no remaining connections. Besides, what good is 1% of the shares to you?”


    Seeing through Jefferson’s apprehensions, Marco scoffed dismissively,


    “Rest easy, I’ve lost all interest in the Bryant Group.”
