?Chapter 1254:


    Dazed from the blow, Jordy tried to gather his senses, his vision swimming. Rosie opened her eyes with obvious boredom and made her offer. “Here’s my deal. Two billion. If you’re willing to buy, I’ll let you go today.”


    Hatred burning in his eyes, Jordy locked his gaze on her. “Think you can kill me here? Cameras are everywhere. There’s no escaping them. Shirie’s police still have your name on their list, Rosie. You’d better think before you act.”


    Rosie paid no heed to the surveince. Without her needing to say anything, one of the bodyguards picked up a chair and urately smashed the surveince camera.


    Jordy’s voice stayed steady. “You have balls, but I’m not giving in.”


    He didn’t believe all the cameras outside were just for show.


    Jordy figured Rosie could only do so much. Destroying everyst camera was impossible.


    He told himself Rosie was just making empty threats, with no real intention to follow through.


    Tina, quiet for much of the exchange, finally stepped in as she watched Rosie’s temper re. “Let’s try to talk this out, Rosie. There’s no need to get violent. He’s not as cold as you think. If you really need help, he won’t turn his back on you. Maybe if you tried a softer approach, he’d raise the offer…”


    Rosie shot a sidelong nce at Tina. “Didn’t I talk to him properly just now? You saw how he acted. He looked right through me like I wasn’t even there.” As soon as she finished speaking, she signaled to the bodyguard.


    Without hesitation, the bodyguard began to strike Jordy. Jordy screamed in pain, but he held his ground.


    The pain didn’t matter. He knew they wouldn’t dare to go too far. But if he agreed to what Rosie wanted, his family’s business would be destroyed by morning.

    Atst, Rosie raised her hand, signaling the bodyguard to step back. She walked over to Jordy and made an offer she believed was reasonable.<fn7906> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n f?ndnovel</fn7906>


    “So? What do you think? Two billion. That’s not unreasonable, is it? Jordy, I’m giving you a chance to work with me. Help me this once, and I’ll bring you into profitable projects in Plieca. You’ll be making money with me in the future.”


    Jordy chuckled. “You sound desperate. Let me guess: everyone else offered less than I did?”


    “Nonsense!” Rosie snapped, her eyes shing with irritation. Still, she had to admit that Jordy had guessed it right.


    Jordy pushed himself up slowly, wobbling as he stood. “Do you know why they’re offering so little?”


    Rosie stiffened. Deep down, she had her suspicions, but pride kept her from epting them. She asked, “Why?”


    “Isn’t it obvious?” Jordy said, his voice hoarse but steady. “You crossed Ethan and the Harper family. With both of them against you, yourpany lost every major order overnight. Your stocks aren’t moving. You could sh prices to the floor, and still, no one would buy yourpanies. It’s not because yourpanies are worthless. It’s because you offended the wrong people. Trust me, Rosie. No one’s going to offer more than I am. I’m your best option.”


    Rosie gritted her teeth in frustration. His words hit the mark. She had reached out to former partners in secret, but their offers were pathetic. Some weren’t even willing to cover the cost of thend, let alone thepany itself. Jordy’s price was insulting, but it was still the best offer she had.
