Chapter 929: A Deal Offered by Jessica (part four)

"I'm just acting with you as you expected. What? Have you decided to stop acting?" The CEO was as steady as a rock. All he did was just to turn to Jessica with an interested look.

I'm not here to talk about my identity today. I'm here to negotiate with you. Don't get confused." The calmer Edward was, the more she became upset. She wasn't like him who was born with a business talent for negotiations.

"Negotiation? What negotiation? I don't know that. Do we have any business venture together?" Edward felt more and more interested. Was she telling a joke? Should he remember it right, there was no business between her and himself, let alone any negotiation.

Don't you know it? I have 60 percent of the MY Mall shares in my hands. What about now? Do you really think that we don't need to talk about something? I'm offering you a chance you may be interested in." Jessica could not help growing proud at the thought of MY Mall's shares. She looked at Edward and scanned his face for any desperation. She wanted to see him frustrated. Unfortunately though, she failed.

"Oh? Are you qualified to speak on behalf of Kompass Group?" The smile on Edward's face deepened. He wondered what Jessica wanted from him.

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Jessica narrowed her eyes and glared at CEO. Her expression became dangerous. 'Oh, Edward, Edward. Why can't I just resist your charm and excellence?' sighed her heart as it got flooded with feelings that could almost drown her.

"Am I not clear enough? Obviously, it is Kompass Group that purchased the shares of MY Mall. Why do you claim that you have the shares? I seriously doubt your words. You are not convincing at all." Edward said in a cold tone. Since when did this woman become so bold? Who did she think she was? Her arrogance and boldness might cost her something really important.

Well, trust me or not? That's your choice. I won't make you believe me. But this is the fact. I have them. How about we make a deal. I'd like to exchange Lin Group's shares with MY Mall' shares, in the same scale. How do you like my proposal?" Her father was dead because she lost Lin Group. It was her fault. Thus, she would do everything to purchase the Lin Group back. She would still want to get the company regardless that it was small. Shaun Gao was nothing but a stepping stone in her original plan.

"Ha-ha! Jessica, do you think I'm a three-year-old child who you can fool that easy? Come on, you are not Kompass Group's CEO. Okay, let's pretend that you are, still, you don't and cannot just sell the MY Mall's shares at your will. You know what? I have always known what you have been doing. Do you think I am that stupid to allow you purchase the shares without me doing anything about it?" He thought she had become much smarter. What a shame that she hadn't. She was still as stupid as she had been before. An empty vase would worth nothing without anything in it.

What did you say? You mean you let us buy the shares on purpose? But why did you do that? You would have nothing beneficial for your company from doing it. Why?" Jessica was anxious now. She was so confused. She had no clue about Edward's purpose at all. If she guessed it wrong, she would have no chip in the negotiation table. What was more, Shaun Gao would be a big concern as well. He would kill her!

Why? You tell me. What? Don't you always think you are quite smart about everything? How come you didn't expect it? Why didn't you make a plan B?" Edward looked at her with an extremely cold expression that was enough to make her freeze.

"Did we buy the wrong shares? But they are not supposed to be false shares." Jessica was alarmed and bewildered. If Kompass Group had bought the wrong shares, what could they do to have their money back? They had invested a large amount of money to purchase MY Mall's shares.

I didn't say that. But if you want to trade the shares of MY Mall for the Lin Group, I'm sorry but I have to reject it. I won't do that." He would be the most stupid businessman should he agree on her suggestion. It would be a piece of cake for him to retrieve the shares of MY Mall back even without dealing with Jessica.

Why? You are not interested in Lin Group, aren't you? Well, I want to have it. Isn't it a win-win deal for both of us? You can throw away Lin Group to me and I can sell MY Mall to you. We both can have benefits." Jessica looked at him in a puzzle. Her proposal would do good for both of them. It would get them the best of both worlds. Why did he refuse her?

Yes, you are right. Indeed, I'm not interested in Lin Group. But it doesn't mean that my men are not interested in it. Some of them may be. So I'm thinking of leaving it to someone who wants to take care of it. I'm always a kind-hearted boss. A small company like Lin Group doesn't deserve my management in person." Was she really innocent or whimsical? Edward had difficulty choosing between the two. There were so many businesses in FX International Group. Did he need to take care of everything in person out of interest? Come on! Only those which were highly profitable could call his attention and interest.
