Chapter 166 We Won''t Be Able To See Each Other Again (Part Two)
"Essie!" With a cunning smile, he weed her as if surprised. "I didn’t expect I’d see you here.
Although, if you came here to talk about Hanson, you can leave. His wedding will be held next week.
Until then, you’re not allowed to see him." He lit a cigar and red at her with a fiendish look.
Unfazed, Essie let out a faint smile on her face. "You have misunderstood, Mr. Jobson. Believe it or not,
I’m here to help you save Be."
Hearing what she said, heughed faintly and scoffed. "Ha! Just you?" Jobson shook his head, trying
to erase the sneer on his face.
Essie looked at him and suddenly smiled, as though she was mocking him in return. Her voice
emanated with confidence and she said, "Do you really think you can fight against the Emperor Group
by marrying Hanson to the daughter of the Yang family? As far as I know, Mr. Yang is quite crafty and
cunning. Think about it—if the stocks of the Yang Group suddenly plummeted, and he realized that it
was because of the shady business he had done, what do you think he would do? What’s worse, if he
was caught on the hands of others, do you think he’ll still be willing to cooperate in this to help you? I’m
afraid that he would even go against you just to save himself."
Jobson twisted his lips, his eyes looked dim. "Don’t talk nonsense here. You’re just a girl. What do you
even know about business?"
Essie shrugged. She knew she probably was talking nonsense, but she couldn’t allow him to see right
through her bluff. However, in the business world, everyone would most likely be involved, everyone
would have their own calctions, and no one could be innocent. She had to take a chance. Last year,
something was wrong with the buildings developed by the Yang Group. The news had just gotten out
when it was suppressed. There had been no follow-up reports after that. It was obvious that the Yang
Group was behind the closed doors.
Judging by the look on Jobson’s face, she knew that she had hit the nail on the head.
"Mr. Jobson, I may be insignificant, and I don’t know much about business. However, my husband
knows it very well. You probably know him as the president of the Emperor Group."
"What did you say?" Jobson was shocked. He dropped his cigar on the ground and watched it fall in
slow motion. The scorched tip touched the carpet and started to burn. Essie gracefully grabbed the cup
of tea on his table and poured it into the fire to put it out.
Like nothing happened, Essie continued, "To tell you the truth, my husband has no interest in Be at
all. He bought out Be just because he wanted me toe home. Hanson found out about this, so he
wanted to take me away in a rush."
She spoke lightly, but Jobson was so furious that he almost passed out. For a long time, Be had
been in crisis all because of the love triangle his son was in. "That bastard!"
Essie nced at him and said, "It is not Hanson''s fault. It is your fault. He gave up on me when he
wanted to help you to save Be. You are the one who disheartened him. You don’t trust him, and your
wife and daughters always try to subdue him that he finds himself unable to carry out his ns to make
Be better. Yourpany has been staggering and losing money for two consecutive years. If it
doesn’t improve, even with the help of Emperor Group, Be would be swallowed up by other
opponents sooner orter."
Jobson fell into silence as his face turned pale.
Seeing him stunned, Essie walked out of the office and called thewyer in. The moment he came in,
he walked over to Jobson’s table and handed him the document. "This is a share transfer agreement.
As long as you transfer all your shares to Hanson, the Emperor Group will drop the acquisition of Be
at once."
After a long pause, Jobson looked at Essie and snapped, "Even if you’re the wife of Emperor Group’s
CEO, you have no right to intervene in the affairs of the Xia family."
With a slight smile on her face, Essie said, "Hanson is your biological son. If you sign the transfer
agreement, he will take over as the chairman of thepany, and Be would still belong to the Xia
family. However, if you don’t sign it, the Xia family would lose ownership of Be and Be would then
be owned by the Emperor Group. Do you understand that?" She spoke as though every word she
uttered was a threat.
Jobson looked deted at the sound of such an overwhelming threat that he sat frustrated in his chair.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Do you really have a say in this matter?"
Essie turned to herwyer who stood beside her and said, "This is Mr. Li, the chief legal counselor of
Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
the Emperor group. He can verify whether I do have a say in it."
Mr. Li nodded at her and spoke to Jobson slowly, "I got the instruction from our president this morning.
Mrs. Essie will be in charge of the acquisition."
Jobson let out a heavy sigh and then burst intoughter full of helplessness and unwillingness. He had
been in the business world for decades, and now he was being set up by a young woman in her
twenties.
Right then, Florey arrived at the office. Essie had called her in advance and asked her toe to
Jobson’s office.
After Jobson signed the document, thewyer checked to make sure there were no issues with the
paperwork. Essie then handed it to Florey and said, "Give it to Hanson. From now on, Be will be his."
Florey held the document to her chest and remembered all the things she had done to Essie. She felt
all the guilt that she took a step closer to Essie and spoke in a low voice, almost like a whisper, "Thank
you."
"This is thest thing I can do for Hanson." Essie forced a smile. Swallowing the bitterness in her
throat, Essie took off the ring on her finger and said, "We will never meet again in the future. Please
give this ring to him. I believe that there will be a girl who’d be lucky enough to wear it."
After a pause, she turned to Jobson. "You can cancel the wedding. The marriage with the Yang family
won’t do Be any good, and Sunny can never be a good wife to Hanson. As for what happened here
today, please do not tell Hanson about it. I’ve been used to a luxurious life, so I don’t want to live a hard
life with a man who doesn’t have anything. I am willing toe back to my husband. Hanson can give
up on me." Essie forced a smile once more, then she bit her lip and turned around to walk out the door.
