Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1239. No room for negotiation

With a chill in his eyes, Adam looked at James Campbell’s nauseating face with disdain and sneered,

"You’re aware that you don’t get along with my wife, so what makes you think I’d help you if you bypass her and come straight to me?"

He remained seated in the boss chair without standing up, his gaze looking down at James Campbell, who was seated on the sofa, with a somewhat condescending intent.

The moment James heard this remark, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn’t remain seated on the sofa, standing up agitatedly.

"Adam, didn’t you just say you would help me? Why are you going back on your word now?"

Adam laughed dismissively, "You misunderstood. I said I’d help the Campbells, but not you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the document bag that Robert Green had handed to James Campbell, which James had yet to open, and said, "Take a look inside."

James’ heart chilled with a bad premonition, and he hurriedly opened the file bag, inside which there was a share transfer agreement.

Seeing those few words, James’ heart sank even further.

But he was still able to stay seated.

Initially, when he had come to see Adam, he thought that if Adam refused to lend him money to tide him over, he would offer part of his shares to Adam.

So, when he saw the share transfer agreement, James didn’t have much of a reaction.

But when he saw the proportion of shares being transferred in the agreement, his face drastically changed.

"You want me to transfer all my shares to Elly Campbell? Impossible!"

Wouldn’t that be tantamount to kicking himself out of the Campbells?

How could he possibly let himself be pushed out and hand over the Campbells to that little wretch?

Adam had an air of indifference about him, saying,

"If that’s the case, we’ve nothing more to discuss. If it’s not Elly’s Campbell, why should I even bother? I’m a businessman, not a charity worker."

He fixed his eyes on the documents in front of him, showing no intention of continuing the conversation with James.

Although he was asking for that 35% stake, it was in a completely indifferent manner.

It was this very attitude that left James even more uneasy, knowing that under these circumstances, he basically had no leverage to negotiate with Adam.

If he left now, the Campbells would have no hope, and he would truly have nothing left.

With that thought, he sat down slowly on the sofa again, softening his tone as he spoke to Adam,

"Adam, your demand is a bit too much. I’ll give you 15% of the shares, how about that?"

With 15% to Adam, he’d still have a 40% stake. Although he would no longer have absolute control, he would still be the largest shareholder in the Campbells, which, to him, was still a significant advantage.

Yet, upon hearing his words, Adam laughed disdainfully and without giving face, said,

"At this point, do you really think you have the room to haggle with me?"

The implication was clear: either give me all the shares, or I don’t want a single one.

James’ face turned livid with anger.

Shameless! Absolutely shameless!

"Adam, you currently hold 15% of the Campbell shares, and if the Campbells goes under, your 15% will also go to waste. Have you really not considered lending a hand to the Campbells?"

Using this angle to persuade him?

James really seemed to be regressing with age.

Adam looked at James, his eyebrows moving dismissively,

"That 15% of shares was originally invested in the Campbells to help Elly out in a tough spot. It was a given from the start, and if it’s gone, it’s gone. Consider it the dowry I gave for marrying Elly back then."
