Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1242. The Jones couple taking advantage of a crisis

Chapter 1242: 1242. The Jones couple taking advantage of a crisis

Seeing Elly Campbell slowly place her coffee cup on the table, she looked at James Campbell with a faint smile and said,

"That day was that day, now two days have passed, and the situation has changed."

James Campbell had always known that Elly Campbell was a venomous and ruthless woman who wouldn’t show mercy, even to her own father.

So, hearing her say this, his heart immediately tensed.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, CEO Campbell spent two days considering, and we too spent two days thinking. The transfer agreement we offered that day is now void."

James Campbell certainly didn’t naively believe that "void" meant Elly Campbell no longer wanted his shares or to provide capital to help him weather the crisis.

Her demands would only become more outrageous.

He watched Elly Campbell with a dark gaze, waiting for her to continue.

"The amount we offered that day, given the current state of the Campbell company, was a bit much."

On that day, when he saw the 55% of the shares, James Campbell was furious, so much so that he didn’t even notice how much money they had proposed to pay.

But judging by Elly Campbell’s tone, it was probably several tens of billions.

After all, at the peak of the Campbell’s prosperity, his shares could sell for fifty to sixty billion.

Even if cut by half, that would still be twenty to thirty billion.

Thinking this, James Campbell looked at Elly Campbell coldly and said,

"Then how much do you want to offer?" fгeewebnovёl.com

Seeing Elly Campbell hold up one finger, looking at him.

Ten billion?

His eyebrows furrowed. Nearly sixty billion worth of shares, and she offered ten billion?

Ha!

He was just about to curse back at her, but then reconsidered. Given the current stock price of Campbell, ten billion was actually quite generous.

With that ten billion for investments, or just earning interest at the bank, he wouldn’t have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.

Although it would not be as glorious as the past days, by any measure, he would still be a billionaire, which he could grudgingly accept.

After some mental preparation, James Campbell managed to suppress his anger.

"Fine, ten billion then. When do we sign?"

"Ten billion?"

Elly Campbell looked at James Campbell as if he were a fool, and chuckled.

"CEO Campbell might be a fool himself, but don’t treat us, husband and wife, as fools too. With the shares you currently hold, are they really worth ten billion?"

The anger that James Campbell had just suppressed flared up again.

"What do you mean? My shares worth sixty billion, and you think ten billion is too much?"

"Sixty billion? CEO Campbell, perhaps you are living in a dream and have no intention of waking up?"

Elly Campbell didn’t give him any leeway, and sarcastically said,

"The Campbell company that you’ve driven to the verge of bankruptcy – do you truly not know its current worth, or are you playing dumb in front of us?"

James Campbell felt somewhat guilty at her words.

The current state of Campbell was nearly declaring bankruptcy; the shares simply represented how much debt he was in.

The reason he was quarreling with the Jones couple was that a few tens of billions didn’t seem much to them.

Besides, once they had control of Campbell, it would become a massive fortune again.

In his opinion, spending ten billion to buy his shares was not a bad deal for the two of them.

But they still were unwilling to buy.

James Campbell was filled with resentment but now, like a tiger fallen flat being teased by dogs, he could only follow their will.

"Ha! Then what does your one finger mean? It can’t possibly be one billion?"

He originally meant it as a sarcastic retort, but saw Elly Campbell nod without hesitation, "Correct!"

At that, James Campbell was truly unsettled!
