In the afternoon, Debra showed up at the Buchan Mansion.


    Sitting across from Theda, she sipped on her tea. "The tea has been ready for a while. You knew I woulde."


    "Let''s just cut to the chase," Theda said. "It''s your setup, isn''t it? The termination of the partnership and the sale of Buchan Entertainment at a low price. Now everyone knows that the Buchan family and the Nichols family have severed ties. Since it''s my mistake, people will force me to step down."


    She observed Debra''s expression and continued, "You''re even sharper than I expected. I mean, who would have thought a pampereddy like you could orchestrate such aplex scheme and predict the oue so urately?"


    "You tter me," Debra replied. "Your solitary nature must have been formed when you were sent to the countryside as a child, and your strained rtions with your family were easy to deduce. People act out of self-interest. You cause them financial losses, and they demand paybacks. Now here we are, sitting together and having a peaceful talk."


    "Let''s just get to the point and not waste each other''s time."


    "Alright. I''m willing to pay for the 10% shares you hold, and the price will cover all your losses."


    Debra ced a check in front of Theda.


    "You can list the details, fill out the check, and hand it back."


    "That''s bold. Do you even know how much we have lost? Yet you want me to just fill it out?"


    "No matter how much you''ve lost, I can cover it. You need money, and the only presentable asset you have is that stake. I can deliver the money to you quickly and without


    undervaluing it. It''s a win-win I don''t think you''ll refuse."


    "Alright then. I''ve lost two billion. If you


    ount within three days, the pet


    shares are yours."


    ransfer the money to me


    "Deal."


    "I thought you weren''t interested in these shares. What made you change your mind?"


    "That''s my business. I just hope that after this, we can bury the hatchet and maybe even be friends."


    "Bury the hatchet? I may have lost to you, but that doesn''t make me


    stupid. This was clearly your trap. don''t know how you managed to cance our cooperation without Drake taking office yet, but I''m certain you were behind it all." Cóntent
