Chapter 329 I had thought York would jump at the offer. But what I got instead was a dead silence on the other end of the line.
After a moment, he cleared his throat es if under simmense pressure and said, "Ms. Webster you're thinking of selling your shares? Wouldn't you consider holding onto them?" "I'm selling" Christine chuckled lightly. "Why keep something from an ex? Better to turn it into cash." "Cough, cough, cough..." York choked, launching into a fit of coughing followed by a distinct crash. Either something had slipped from his grip or someone was throwing a tantrum.

In less than three months, their market value will double, even surpass the peak times of the Ferguson Group!" Christine was skeptical, "Double in such a short time?" "Absolutely, maybe even more." York sounded very sure. "Really, persuade Ms. Webster not to sell to anyone." "Alright, got it." A glint of excitement flashed in Christine's eyes as she ended the call with a flurry of polite thank-yous. She turned to me, puzzled. "Do you think he was bluffing?" I shook my head, replying, "Doesn't seem like it." Taking over this mess, RF had a solid chance, not a sure thing, but their odds were good.

Christine replied, "RF just informedtheir big boss has sfree tnow and wants to inspect the companies RF has invested in domestically." "We're the first stop." "An inspection?" I paused, "Now?" As the year was wrapping up and things were slowing down, doing an inspection wasn't out of the question, but it felt like a pointless hassle.

This sudden ambush caughtcompletely off guard. Skipping breakfast, I rushed to get ready and dashed out the door. When I arrived at Janedream around eleven, the company was buzzing with an air of emergency, likely due to Christine's heads-up.
I had just dropped my bag off when Christine knocked on my door, “Jane, they're in the elevator!" "Okay" I was fairly relaxed until then, but suddenly, I felt anxious. An uneasy premonition crept up on me.
As Christine and I reached the elevator, the leading man caught my eye. Dressed in a black tailored sult, ve he handed his overcoat to an assistant, moving with the natural authority and chilly elegance of a born leader. When his deep eyes met mine, it felt as if he was peering straight into my so
