"I heard you don't wanna sell. So, I won't bother asking to buy." Derek shifted gears, "But I could consider investing."
Violette's eyes lit up instantly, "Mr. Marcia, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. But before we sign any contracts, there are a couple of things I need to discuss with you," Derek pulled out a document, "This is a proposal my team and I have been working on these past couple of days. The Dennis Group, in its current trajectory, won't get far. In business, profit is key. Only by making a profit can we ensure long-term growth."
Violette took the document and skimmed through it.
"Mr. Marcia, can I take your proposal back, I need a few days talking to my team."
"Of course."
"Alright, and what's the other thing?" Violette took a sip of water and looked at him seriously.
Before the meeting, she didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly.
Now the most crucial part had been settled, so she felt relieved.
"I'm Melinda's brother," Derek candidly said, "We're half-siblings, with the same father but different mothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the calm on Violette's face vanished.
Melinda... Derek.
No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity with Derek.
He was Melinda's brother!
Violette's relationship with Melinda was terrible, yet her brother wanted to invest in her company...
It was just so absurd!
She couldn't help but doubt Derek's real motive for investing.
The news of SwiftStream Capital preparing to invest in the Dennis Group spread quickly in the industry.
Upon hearing this, Elijah's brows furrowed.
Derek was a cunning egoist.
His investment in the Dennis Group might have other motives.
Although they had known each other for a long time, their relationship was not that good.
If it weren't for Melinda between them, they might have cut ties long ago.
"Elijah, I just called the Dennis Group, and they said Violette met with Derek today and confirmed their partnership... Derek plans to invest $200 million, and it's hard for Violette to refuse. He's only investing and won't interfere with the company's internal affairs," Ramsey reported.
Elijah's eyes were sharp, and his voice cold, "I think he wants to use the $200 million to buy Violette!"
