Tried 311_The Queen They Buried

Chapter 311 

 Alice smiled and got straight to the point. “Mr. Dunn, if you are prepared to drop the deal with GrabCheap, then Wilson Group’s JinnCee would be happy to establish a business partnership with your Tengu.”

 Indeed, Morhan Dunn was tempted. This wasn’t just a chance to partner with the Wilson Group. It was also an opportunity to pull Phoenyra Jewelry to his side. A deal this lucrative was simply too good to pass up.

 Morhan looked at Alice and replied, “Alice, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but can you really make the decision for the Wilson Group?”

 “I wouldn’t be bringing this up if I weren’t prepared, Alice said confidently. With that, she produced a document already signed by Bryan Wilson.

 “Mr. Dunn, this partnership agreement is yours if you agree. My only condition is that you string Aubree along until she’s about to seal the deal. then turn her down.”

 Morhan smiled. GrabCheap was also seeking coboration with hispany. He held all the cards.

 Aubree Miller didn’t only approach his office. She also reached out to Manchotech. Clearly, Alice’s strategy was to make it difficult for GrabCheap to secure financing. If he kept stringing Aubree along, she would be stuck wasting her time on him and would have no time to pursue other investors.

 Morhan weighed the pros and cons. After all, Aubree was still a neer. Compared to the well–established Wilson Group, she was clearly butmatched. He then said, “I look forward to working with your office.”

 He epted the document without signing, and Alice smiled in satisfaction.

 This contract was perfectly legitimate. Ronald Wilson gave the green light, Bryan Wilson signed it, and Alice’s reasoning was simple. Since Ronald believed Aubree had fallen into Bowen Turner’s trap and that the GrabCheap project was destined to fail until it lost everything, they might as well “help” Aubree’s side end the project early.

 Once Bryan gave the green light, things were a lot easier. At the end of the day, everyone only looked after their own interests.

 Bryan had visited Emery Wilson once. Emery had asked him then, “Bryan, are you sure you already have firm control over the Wilson Group now?”

 Once the sibling affection fizzled out, Bryan found himself wondering whether his father would give up on getting Aubree to join the Wilson Group if she really came back. The answer was obvious. After all, at just eighteen, Aubree had already achieved so much. If she joined thepany, no one could be sure who would be calling the shots in the future.

 He wanted Aubree toe back, but only as a harmless, pitiable little sister, someone who could serve as an outlet for his guilt.

 Thus, he did not voice any objections to the schemes being nned against Aubree.

 While she was in Südlichen Strand, Alice decided to visit Trevor. That boy was always swamped with work and rarely home. She wondered if all those business trips had made him lose weight.

 The doorbell rang just then. Without even ncing at the door, Trevor yelled “Fuck off! I told you I’m not seeing anyone this week.”

 His face was so swollen that he looked like he had been stung by dozens of bees. On top of that, he was kicked in the stomach as well. Every breath he took hurt like hell.

 Trevor immediately grimaced in pain after yelling. He had ruled the entertainment industry with his face. His fans imed that he looked perfect from every angle. But now, he was barely recognizable.

 “Not even your own mother?” Alice responded.

 After inviting Alice in, Trevor dialed down his rage. “Mom, what brings you to Südlichen Strand?”

 “I had to settle some things in Südlichen Strand, so I thought I’d check on you. What happened to your face?”

 Trevor became incensed once more, “Last night when I went out drinking, I ran into Aubree. She took advantage of me while I was drunk and beat me up!”

 Alice’s mind immediately thought of other implications. “You went out drinking? Did any paparazzi catch you? Will Aubree try to use this against you?”
