?Chapter 352:
“Miss Hathaway, do you really see acquiring Poulos Castle as just a minor deal?” Vincent asked.
With a dismissive smile, Selina responded, “You must demonstrate your abilities to me. I’m staking everything on our long-term partnership, after all.”
“In that case, I’m afraid we should terminate this deal. Investing heavily in Poulos Castle just for ess to the overseas market is simply ridiculous,” Vincent said as he stood up. Katelyn, understanding his intention, stood up as well.
This agreement wasn’t worth pursuing. Though Selina was clever, she shouldn’t mistake them for naive.
Katelyn turned to Selina, her smile cold.
“Miss Hathaway, we came with genuine intentions to discuss cooperation with you. But since you’re clearly not really interested, everything we previously discussed is off the table.”
Selina’s fists tightened involuntarily, and she let out a coldugh. “What do you mean by that? Do you really want to walk away now? Who else but me can provide you ess to such vast markets and resources?”
Selina couldn’t fathom that Vincent and Katelyn would pass up such a lucrative opportunity. Blinded by confidence in her offer, Selina failed to see the ws in her proposal.
Vincent would nevermit to a deal that didn’t favor him at all. In his view, the profit from the overseas market paled inparison to what he would have to invest in acquiring Poulos Castle.<fnd577> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find?novel</fnd577>
His stare was cold as he looked at Selina.
“Don’t be too sure of yourself. I can find another partner easily. If necessary, I’m prepared to forsake the overseas market altogether.” He spoke casually.

Although he wanted to expand into the international jewelry scene, the Adams Group wasn’t solely dependent on it. Even without this venture, the Adams Group had ample operations and resources to prosper. Selina had overestimated her position.
As Vincent turned to leave, Selina, gritting her teeth, called out, “So, what do you want? Tell me now.”
In the end, she decided topromise, as they were her only hope to secure the castle.
Vincent stopped, turning to face Selina once again.
“I’m looking for amitment that spans at least thirty years, ensuring our coboration with the Adams Group persists even beyond your tenure. At the uing global exhibitions, not only must the Adams Group’s jewelry be featured, but it should also be the centerpiece. Additionally, should any treasure be discovered beneath Poulos Castle, I want a share of it.”
Katelyn gave Vincent a confused look.
What was he hoping to find under the castle?
Selina’s expression grew stern, her hands balling into fists. “Isn’t that a bit excessive?”
“I’m a businessman, and I always ensure my deals are advantageous. Miss Hathaway, when you requested Poulos Castle, you should have known I’d ask for something substantial in return.”
Selina tightened her fists once more, her look turning somber. It was clear she was wrestling with the decision. For a brief moment, neither of them spoke, the air charged with tension. It was as though they were locked in a silent battle of wills. While they termed it a partnership, it was really just a trade of necessities. Vincent remainedposed, his demeanor calm but confidently assured.
He was convinced Selina wouldn’t turn down the offer. The castle was too valuable for her to pass up.
True to his belief, after a brief pause, Selinaposed herself and said with resolve, “Alright, I agree. But tell me, how quickly can you secure the castle?”
Vincent thought for a moment before responding, “I can’t set a definite timeline; Earl Poulos is notoriously difficult to negotiate with. But I aim to have it done before the global expo.”
Selina thought it over for a moment, then nodded, her voice cold and firm.
“If you fail to deliver by the agreed deadline, consider all our discussions null and void.”
Her eyes then shifted back to Katelyn.
