Chapter 2399
“It''s three hundred billion, the worth of a super-rich family! Who could possibly spare that kind of
money?”
“Even when Intercontinental Group was in its prime, it wasn''t worth that much!”
“Three hundred billion? This is fishy. He may not be telling the truth!”
“But why does he need to lie to us? Moreover, he doesn''t look like he''s lying.”
Lacey was also taken aback by that news. She looked at Sheldon with disbelief and asked, “Did you
say three hundred billion? How is that possible? Other than Redwood Capital, who else in Eurasia has
that kind of money?”
“You are too myopic, Ms. Hinton. Why restrict your imagination to Eurasia? Look further! Think
international...”
Sheldon was getting carried away, so Daisy tugged at his shirt and hinted at him to mind his words.
Sheldon got the hint and shut up immediately. He nearly let the cat out of the bag about Intercontinental
Group''s financial secrets.
However, Lacey was intelligent and figured it out herself. “So, your backer is a foreigner, huh?”
“It''s none of your business. Just consider my offer toe under Intercontinental Group. It''ll be a win-
win situation. Otherwise, I''ll make sure that there will be no peace in Linton Group in the future!” Then
he turned to Daisy. “Let''s go, Daisy.”
Daisy threw a document onto the floor and said, “This is the acquisition contract that we should have
given you yesterday. Unfortunately, we had a hup and didn''t manage to do so. I guess it''s not too
late now. Hahaha!”
The two turned around to leave, leaving behind echoes of their arrogantughter.

The lobby was eerily quiet after Sheldon and Daisy left. The atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone
had a heavy heart.
Just when the Linton team thought the worst was over and they were getting ready to wee in
better days, Sheldon came by and dampened their spirits.
All the staff looked to Lacey for directions.
One of them asked, “Ms. Hinton, so do we face up to the challenge and start work now, or should we lie
low and monitor the situation first?”
Lacey was also undecided, so she stole a nce at Zeke.
Zeke gave her a confident nod, and with that boost of confidence from him, Lacey calmed down.
“Have no doubt about it! We''ll definitely face up to the challenge and start work now! Since
Intercontinental Group wants topete with us, we''ll take them on! Of course, the best oue we
can hope for is to win, but even if we lose after a good fight, it''s okay. All the money spent by us and
Intercontinental Group will go toward boosting Eurasia''s GDP. We''ll take that as ourmunity service
to the country that will ultimately benefit the citizens of Eurasia,” she said.
Zeke gave her a big thumbs-up, impressed by her high EQ.
Lacey raised her voice and announced, “I hereby dered the re-opening of Linton Group! Please
head back to your duties and aim to put thepany back to normal operations by the end of today.
We''ll then have a celebration tonight!”
Under the leadership of Lacey, everyone was highly motivated and began working tirelessly.
After she finished settling in the staff, Lacey came to Zeke, looking despondent.
“What are we going to do, Zeke?”
“Didn''t you just dere it''s okay even if we lose? Take that as a contribution to Eurasia!” Zeke teased.
Lacey gave him a weak, wry smile. “You know I don''t mean that. I only wanted to motivate the staff.
How can I possibly not care if we lose to our foe?”
Zeke gave her aforting pat on her shoulder. “Just go ording to your original ns and do your
best to restore Linton Group to its former glory, Lacey. Leave Intercontinental Group to me. I''ll take care
of them.”
“Really?'' Lacey''s eyes sparkled with hope and anticipation when she heard that.
“Of course! Have I ever disappointed you?”
“Wonderful! I want to hand thepany to someone else after we tide through this crisis, Zeke.
Managing such a bigpany by myself is draining me out...”
