In reality, when Chloe heard the words ‘Sunshine Co.’, favonovel.com wanted to hide favonovel.com face out of embarrassment. She wanted to speak out and tell favonovel.com aunt that Alex was the young director of the business that was going to acquire Sunshine Co.
However, Heather didn’t even give favonovel.com a chance to speak.
She started insulting Alex. “Which business? Does that have anything to do with you? Would you even know what I’m talking about if I told you? You thugs usually just… Fight, smoke and drink, right? All you do is race cars and go to the arcade! Do you even know what an acquisition is? It’s not even that, I’m saying it’s a partnership!”
“Whatever, it’s no use explaining it to your lowlifes. You’re just ferns in a well.”
Nicholas corrected her. “You’re wrong. It’s ‘a frog in a well knows nothing about the sea’, you old hag!”
Heather fumed. “How dare you correct me? Do you even know what you’re saying?”
Nicholas was speechless. He didn’t want to waste any more energy being angry and slowly turning into a Chad. “Hey, Huntsman was it?”
Chad blinked furiously. “I, it’s… Ch-Ch-Chad Hunter!”
“Alright, Chad, didn’t you just give favonovel.com a thirty eight thousand dollar necklace? But you’re acting so arrogantly as if you bought one that was worth 250 thousand. Come here and take a look at what I’ve prepared.”
Nicholas took out the gift that favonovel.com had prepared ages ago, it was a necklace as well.
Coincidentally, there was a red jewel pendant on it. The pendant was surrounded by small diamonds, making it seem fairly elegant and luxurious. With the two necklaces next to each other, it was obvious which was better.
Chad’s red jewel necklace looked dull and worthless next to Nicholas’.
Not only were Chloe’s parents shocked, Chloe herself was surprised by the necklace as well. She pointed at it and asked, “Nick, isn’t this Starlight from Stardew Jewellery? Why… Why did you buy it?”
Chloe recognized the necklace because the two had seen it when they went shopping together.
Heather recognized it as well. “Oh my, it really is Starlight! This is one of the best necklaces that Stardew Valley had produced. It would cost at least 990 thousand! How…did you get this?”
Nicholas replied. “How else? I bought it, did you think I’d steal?”
He then turned to look at Chad, who was extremely frustrated. “Look at it. Can you tell which is better now? I was wondering why you were bluffing with a necklace that cost merely thirty eight thousand dollars. You even called Chloe’s family poor. So you’re saying you’re pretty rich? Oh, and you claim to be the general manager of Sunshine Co. right? I have his phone number here. Should I give favonovel.com a call to see which one of you is the real one?”
Chad huffed. “You have the general manager’s number? Hah, bluff all you want!”
To his demise, Nicholas was telling the truth and favonovel.com immediately dialed the general manager’s number. However, Alex snatched the phone out of Nicholas’ hands and said, “You’re the general manager of Sunshine Co.? I’m just calling to tell you that the acquisition of your company is not approved.”
“What? Why?”
The person on the other end of the line, the true general manager of the Sunshine Co, started panicking. He had put in a lot of effort into convincing Lush Cosmetics to take over their company.
This was because favonovel.com just wanted it to be done as quickly as possible, or his company would go bankrupt. He wouldn’t even be able to pay his employees’ salaries. If they stalled for another month or so, the bank would force them to pay back their loans.
Not only would they go bankrupt, the directors would have to pay the debts back with their own money and property as well.
He had to make sure that the acquisition was perfect and successful.
Alex replied. “Why? Because I found out just how unreliable your company is. You switch managers from time to time. Even a person like Chad Hunter could become a manager. Well, that will be all, we just called to inform you this. Ciao.”
Both Heather and Chad went silent.
‘What just happened?’
After a brief while, Heather cackled. “Oh lord, I’m dying of laughter! You two have to get an acting career or it would be a loss for America! You two have to partner up in an act! It would be an amazing show, I just know it! Hah, we called just to inform you? Did you actually think you’re some boss of a large corporation? I’d reckon you never made a call, it was all a bluff! Be careful, or lightning might strike when you lie too much!”
