Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 40

Moreover, not only would Selena be giving up the store for nothing, but she would also have to spend an extra two million dollars. She felt as if she had eaten something revolting.

"With everyone here, let's proceed with the transfer." Daniel sneered.

"Transfer? Transfer, my foot! The store is already under my name. I want her to walk right into my trap of revenge!" he thought.

When Daniel agreed, a look of wild joy appeared on Selena's face. She had bought something worth ten million dollars with two million dollars—it was pure profit.

But when it came to the transfer, her heart suddenly sank.

"The store isn't in my name, but I can offer you a lease contract. And I can guarantee that the landlord won't come after you," Selena uttered with a dry smile.

Daniel looked at her coldly. "Ms. Brook, do you think I'm a fool?"

Selena's face turned awkward. "I can't help it. I'm also renting this store."

With that, she took out a lease agreement and explained to Daniel, "I'm telling the truth. Ask the other merchants here. They're also renting. As long as the lease hasn't expired, even if the landlord comes, it won't matter."

Daniel couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

"Fine. Then let's get a notarization done," he agreed.

Selena and Bryson exchanged glances. They thought they'd be unlucky today, but it seemed like someone was bringing money to their doorstep.

Though they lost the store and spent two million dollars, the return was sixfold. Moreover, the emerald's value would increase.

Selena wasn't really that bothered about losing the store, as it wasn't hers, to begin with.

The store was in so much trouble because of the Walsh family, so she was more than happy to sign the notarization and hand over the two million dollars to Daniel.

Selena glanced at Daniel and asked, "The stone is ours now, right?"
