Chapter 846


    The EcoTraverse Group’stest move to seek coboration with a Windhelmpany had stirred up a


    whole can of worms.


    After all the big cheese of the EcoTraverse Group had always been one to keep his nose in the air,


    typically only keeping alliances with Windhelmpanies for a fleeting six months. But in this


    agreement, he’s surprisingly willing to pass up all future coboration opportunities for the EcoTraverse


    Group to the Raymond Corporation.


    Ifn pulled this off, the profits he’d rake in for the Raymond Corporation would be a far cry from the


    But pulling it off would mean he’d have to pay through the nose.


    The stakes were sky–high for the EcoTraverse Group this time. Ifn can score a 5% stake in the


    EcoTraverse Group, he’d hit the jackpot. It’s like betting thepany’s farm, he must be out of his


    gourd. Andn, agreeing to this deal, didn’t seem to be ying with a full deck either.


    It’s as if two high flying investors were duking it out, and the oue will have a ripple effect on the


    economies of the two countries.


    So when Maureen found out thatn agreed to sign the deal, she thought he’d lost his marbles.


    Even if he’s in hot water with thepany’s bigwigs, there’s no need to go in whole hog on such a big


    gamble!


    Who knew what kind of game the EcoTraverse Group was ying? Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    She immediately went to have a chinwag withn, but when she entered his office, he was nowhere in


    sight.


    It turned outn had jetted off abroad at noon to sign the deal in person at the invitation of the


    EcoTraverse Group’s honcho.


    Maureen went as white as a ghost. She tried to given a bell, but he wasn’t picking up.


    As she left the office, she bumped into Dennis.


    Dennis seemed to be on cloud nine at the moment.


    “Maureen, I heardn hopped on a ne to sign the deal?”


    Dennis had been badgering Maureen for her shares, concocting all sorts of excuses.


    For Maureen, the terms Dennis was offering were tempting.


    But she’s knownn since he was knee–high to a grasshopper, and she just can’t stomach the thought


    of him going down this path.


    “Yep.”


    “That kid was always jumping the gun. The EcoTraverse Group has always kept its share structure


    under wraps. If they’re proposing this deal, they must known won’t be able to cut. If the deal falls


    through,n’s stake will be cut by 20%.


    This was the condition put forth by the EcoTraverse Group. If the deal went south,n would lose 20%


    of his stake,


    He’s already given up 10%. If he gave up another 20%, he’d be left with a measly 25% stake, making it


    a piece of cake for Dennis to overtake him.


    It’s unheard of in the business world for the big shot of the EcoTraverse Group andn to use their


    stakes as bargaining chips.


    Seeing Dennis so chuffed, Maureen had a sinking feeling that he might have a hand in this.


    “Dennis,n’s already left Greenfield, and your share is nearly enough. You’ll soon have more say in


    the Raymond Corporation, and there’s no need to keep trying to knock him down.”


    Dennis just kept grinning from ear to ear, seemingly not getting the drift.


    “Maureen, this isn’s choice. If the EcoTraverse Group wins, he won’t be calling the shots at the


    Raymond Corporation anymore.”


    By then, he’ll do whatever it took to snatch up all the shares fromn.


    Maureen fell silent, watching Dennis approach.


    “By the way, have you made up your mind? I’m offering you a golden opportunity. Are you still not


    willing to sell me your shares?”


    Maureen looked a bit under the weather, pausing before she spoke.


    “Dennis, give me a few more days.”


    In reality,n’s rtionship with Maja had taken the wind out of Maureen’s sails. Anyone could see that


    Maja was far from being wife material for him, not to mention all the trouble she’s stirred up. Any other


    woman would be a better match forn than her.


    What was really eating at Maureen was the situation with Connie. Connie was someone she watched


    grow up, and it was all because of Maja that the Raymond family was in such a pickle. Sometimes, she


    thought, mayben needed to fall t on his face to see the light finally?


    He’s got a knack for business, so even if he stumbled this time, he’d bounce back eventually. It’s just


    that the cost might be steep.
