“Monica! If you dare to hurt anyone of them, I will do twice the harm onto you!”
“Hm… Do you think a person like me will be afraid? You can get what you want now. I don’t mind if you take my life in exchange for their lives!”
Kyle, who was standing on one side, signaled Davin to ask what did Monica want him to do.
After Davin asked her, Monica thought and replied, “It’s very simple, let Seet Group bear a loss of fifty billion!”
Fifty billion?
Damn, what absurdity.
If Seet Group were to lose fifty billion, it would affect the turnover and the business would immediately be in a dangerous state.
Also, why would she want the Seet Group to lose fifty billion all of a sudden?
The request had him puzzled!
He calmed himself down. “Monica, why not I give you five hundred million and you release one person. How does that sound? Five hundred million is not a small amount!”
“Five hundred million?” Monica snickered. “How can you compare five hundred million to fifty billion? Do you think I’m an idiot!”
“Of course it can’t be compared. However, this five hundred million will be all yours. If the company loses out on fifty billion, none will go to you. Which would benefit you more, nothing at all or five hundred million? Not only did you make a profit, it’s like hitting the jackpot instead!”
“Stop trying to talk me out of it. I will not take a penny from the Seet Group. I only want to see it being destroyed utterly!” Monica sneered and her voice was full of hatred.
“Damn it, you are a really vicious woman. You are so vindictive!”
“I’m vindictive? Ha! I feel even more joy when a member of the Seet family says that!”
“You must have some mental illness…”
While Davin was about to continue bickering with her, he saw Kyle writing a few words on a piece of paper. “Agree to her.”
Davin frowned. Such an excessive request and he had to commit to her? Was Kyle desperately wanting to save lives or did he already come up with a plan?
Davin hesitated for a while and chose to follow Kyle’s suggestion. Upon agreeing, he hung up the phone immediately.
“Kai, how could you let me agree to such an excessive request? Fifty billion is not five hundred million. This is considerably a huge amount for Seet Group! This would also affect our normal turnover!”
“We can come up with a strategy before losing fifty billion!”
“What strategy?” Davin followed.
“If we lose tomorrow, we can earn it back the following day. It wouldn’t affect the Seet Group too badly!”
“We will earn what we lost? Do you think it’s that easy to earn fifty billion?”
“Yes, we will transfer the funds around. Move our eggs from one basket to another, then move them back eventually.”
Davin’s eyes brightened upon hearing that. That’s right, there were many sub companies under the Seet Group. The headquarter could seemingly lose out by segregating funds to the sub companies. Once Monica had released the hostages, they could transfer back the funds. That would still looked like a loss!
Monica did not say that this wasn’t allowed. It’s considered a solution to a dire situation!
“Kyle, I think your solution might work!”
“Then have it arranged immediately!”
“However, I don’t understand why aren’t you finding ways to save them? We don’t have to waste our time entertaining Monica if we could save the three of them immediately.”
Kyle’s face darkened, “It’s because I want her to let go of her resentment!”
“What do you mean?”
“…” As Kyle revealed what Jonathan had done in the past, Davin was utterly shocked.
“Is what you’re saying true? Your Grandpa had done something like that?”
He had always thought of his father as a calm and modest person. When it comes to family matters, Sophia was always the one in charge. The father that he knew was nothing like the vicious and relentless man that Kyle had described.
“If you don’t believe me, go ahead and ask Grandpa. This was what he told me!”
That had shocked him to the core!
