Chapter 1214 Make an Example Of

"Stop with the accusations. That's utter nonsense."

Hart said indignantly, "I am ready to sell Rove, so there isn't any malicious business conduct, to begin with.

"We have kinked out all the details on the acquisition, but your boss, Kailan Skyfort, suddenly pushed the selling rate down to half today.

"Rove might be going bust, but it's a long-standing business and a household name. I'm not going to sell the business like it's worth nothing.

"I can't possibly agree with the offer."

Having built the brand for many years, Hart could not give up on his hard work so easily.

Were it not for the unsustainable capital chain caused by storing too much inventory and keeping many employees on payroll, Hart would have wanted to keep the business going for a little longer.

For all Hart knew, the business could make it through to the very end.

After reaching an agreement with Kailan, Hart intended to make things official by signing a contract at Skyfort Investment today.

Kailan changed his tune and cut the price in half.

Hart did not want to go ahead with it, and the negotiations hit a stalemate.

To Hart's surprise, Kailan, who was nice and friendly all the while, started to threaten him.

Kailan told Hart to go along with the new terms unless he wanted to jeopardize his family's safety.

He even instructed his subordinate to slap Hart's employee, who came along for the signing.

Hart holed up at home after returning, fearing Kailan might harm his family.

Out of alternatives, Hart took his family to take cover at Lilyrose Commerce Guild while figuring a way out of this.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Alas, Kailan had the audacity to send his minions to corner him and his family at the guild.

"Quit yapping, old fart. I wouldn't mind slapping you if this gorgeous babe wasn't here."

Gerard pulled a long face.

As if he was not scary enough. The crowd was terrified of him.

Darcy weighed her words carefully and said, "It doesn't sound right to cut the price in half, Gerard. Besides, it's best to sit down and talk things out. You don't have to trap us here.

"Why don't you head back? Mr. Lyfe's business is in Lilyrose. He's not going anywhere.

"Lilyrose Commerce Guild can act as a middle person in the negotiations to help both parties come to an agreement."

"Cut the bullshit!"

Gerard waved his hand to interrupt Darcy and said annoyedly, "Don't make it out like you're doing us a favor. You're on the old fart's side.

"You sure think highly of yourself, president.

"Lilyrose Commerce Guild doesn't mean squat.

"Let me make myself clear. Either I take the old fart with me, or I'll trash the guild."

"Thud!"

Gerard pounded the table and rose to his feet.

His two dozen men stood up and eyed Darcy's group.

Darcy and Hart's family turned pale.

It was pointless talking sense into thugs who preferred conflict over peace.

"Ha. My wife just became president of Lilyrose Commerce Guild, but there wasn't anyone to make an example of until now.

"Gerard, right? You'll come in handy."

While Darcy and her team were at a loss, an indifferent voice came from the door.

Overjoyed, Darcy looked over at Kaze.

"There you are, Kaze!*
