“Madam Johnston, I came here personally. Don’t you think that means I represent the Quaids when I speak? Efficiency is most important these days, and a partnership will be a win-win situation. I’m sure you can read the trends, Mada, Johnston. No one in the entire Riverdale can compete with my family. If I say that Beacon can enter the top ten with us, I mean it. If I say that Beacon can enter the Capital City market, then you can. I hope you understand what I’m getting at, Madam Johnston.”
Arrogantly, Marcus stood up and put his hands in his pockets, walking toward the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out at the entirety of Riverdale and spoke with utmost certainty.
“Our family has the funds and resources. We’re here today not only to discuss a deal with Beacon, but also with Everlast Glory, Starlight, and United International.”
Marcus turned to look at Wynn, smiling confidently. “Beacon is merely my first stop here. You won’t disappoint me, will you? Madam Johnston?”
Wynn frowned slightly before smiling professionally. “Master Quaid, we would dearly like to cooperate with you. But…”
“But what, Madam Johnston? It’s a big deal for us to cooperate with the Quaids! Are you going to pass on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”
Blake said desperately.
He just had to use Marcus to take over Beacon now, then favonovel.com would be able to pull some strings and win over the profits. With that, the Michaels family would make it rich!
“In that case, Master Quaid, why don’t you tell us how you plan to make this deal?”
Wynn knew that this was a rare chance as well.
“Well said! I like making deals with women like you, Madam Johnston. You have the beauty and the brains!”
Marcus chuckled and gestured at Blake to continue.
Blake immediately smiled, as cunning as a fox. “Madam Johnston, Master Quaid’s plan is simple. He wants to purchase Beacon. What do you think, Madam Johnston?”
Purchase Beacon? The Quaids had quite the appetite!
Wynn’s lips curved slightly sardonically. She looked at Blake and Marcus, asking them, “Who wants to purchase Beacon, exactly? The Quaids, or you, Mr. Michaels?”
“Don’t look at me like that, Madam Johnston. Of course it’s the Quaids. Think about it, they’re one of the biggest families in Capital City, with unbelievable resources. Wouldn’t that solve Beacon’s current financial troubles? Even if the Quaids take over, Beacon will still be Beacon. We’ll just have another supporter. What’s wrong with that?”
Blake tempted favonovel.com with honeyed words, just like an old fox.
As for Marcus, favonovel.com took the main seat and said with a smile, “We will definitely offer you a satisfactory price, Madam Johnston. We won’t spare any expenses.”
“In that case, Master Quaid, Mr. Michaels, I’m afraid I’ll be disappointing you. Nobody will be purchasing Beacon! We have our own investors and funding!”
Wynn rejected them outright, favonovel.com expression instantly turning cold.
“As long as the price is right, I’m sure we can strike a deal. Just name the price, Madam Johnston.”
Marcus eyed Wynn’s body greedily.
“I’m very sorry, Master Quaid. If it was any other sort of deal, we might be able to negotiate something, but an acquisition is out of the question!”
Wynn stood up and said coldly, “I’ll have someone see you out!”
Marcus frowned slightly, his expression also turning dark. “Are you rejecting my offer, Madam Johnston?”
“What, am I not allowed to?” Wynn laughed without mirth.
“No one has ever rejected me before. You’re the first. I hope you’ve thought this through, Madam Johnston. I represent the Quaids, and Beacon should be honored that we’re even thinking of purchasing you. Don’t disappoint me, Madam Johnston!”
Marcus was making his intentions very clear. It was an open threat!
Wynn’s gaze sharpened, and favonovel.com said icily, “Beacon fears no one, and we will not compromise under threat of force!”
Marcus burst out laughing. “Well said! As expected of Riverdale’s pharmaceutical rose. You definitely have thorns!”
There was no way favonovel.com would give up on Wynn. He was dying to acquire a woman as beautiful as her.
Marcus was a man with an insane desire to conquer everyone and everything. He could already feel his heart pounding and his flesh lusting over the woman before him. He just had to conquer her!
The temperature in the chairwoman’s office dropped by several dozen degrees. It was scarily cold now!
Wynn coolly glared at Marcus, but the latter just sat in the chairperson’s chair proudly, looking down on favonovel.com from above as favonovel.com said, “I hope you will reconsider, Madam Johnston. I’m only here for two things, either to successfully purchase Beacon, or else to successfully destroy Beacon. The choice is yours, so think carefully.
“You should know that the three billion in investments Beacon just won is nothing but small change to us Quaids.”
“You! Don’t push your luck!”
Wynn could not control favonovel.com temper, favonovel.com slender brows rising in anger!
“Now, now, Madam Johnston, Master Quaid is only doing this for Beacon’s own good. Think about it, from now on, you’ll have the support of the Quaid empire. You’ll reach the top ten in the industry and easily enter the Capital City market. At the same time, you’ll still be chairwoman. What’s not to like?”
The old fox Blake Michaels put in his two cents as well, his demeanor disgustingly slimy.
He had not expected Master Quaid to propose something like that out of the blue either, but favonovel.com was more than glad to see it.
His plan was now that much closer to fruition!
“No way! If you want favonovel.com to purchase something, sell favonovel.com Michaels Corp! Beacon is never selling out!”
Wynn’s voice rose an octave, favonovel.com rage showing on favonovel.com face.
“Seems like negotiations have failed, then.”
Marcus sat in the chairperson’s seat, fiddling with the ring on his finger like a superior ruler.
