Seaton had a humble look on his face. “When you’ve been in the business for as long as I have, you learn to predict the future. At the moment, Aerse has 23% of the company’s shares and has requested to revoke his equity. I believe it would best for you to sell off Tremont Enterprise since you aren’t able to accumulate that much money.”
Arianne tonelessly laughed. “Even if I do agree to sell, not everyone is able to buy it.”
Seaton cut straight to the point and said, “If you believe in me, you could sell the company to me. Based on Mark’s relationship with me, I will most definitely cherish the company as if it were my own. Further, you would be able to escape the perilous situation you’re in right now.”
Arianne lightly snorted without giving away any emotions on her face. “Mr. Bart, have you finally gone straight to the point after beating around the bush for so long?”
Seaton squinted his eyes. “What do you mean… by that?”
Arianne put away her smile and gritted her teeth. “Mark trusted you, treated you as his friend, yet you wanted him dead! Do you think I’m unaware of your shenanigans? I wouldn’t have suspected you at all if you hadn’t come to me previously, but you just couldn’t hold your breath. Although Aerse has quite a reputable history, he would most definitely not be able to accumulate so much money to purchase the shares. You’ve been the one who’s been siphoning money to him, haven’t you? If I had actually sold the company to you, I’d be falling right into your trap! I shall tell you my answer now, im-pos-si-ble!”
Seaton was slightly taken aback, but it was only just a flash. He immediately had a look of admiration for Arianne. “I suppose that much is to be expected of Mark’s woman. You may be smart, but it’s no use. Tremont enterprise wouldn’t be able to operate unless you sell it off to me. This was always my plan the moment I had gotten close to Mark—I wanted Tremont enterprise for my own. I’ve spent so long planning for this day, and you’re most definitely not worthy enough to thwart my plans. Mark Tremont is dead, so why would a mere woman like you try and fight, and support the company, which would all be in vain. Why don’t you be a good girl and sell off the company to me? You would then be able to spend the rest of your life happily with your son, wouldn’t that be great? No one’s going to be able to help you now. If Jackson spent everything he had to help you, then Tremont enterprise might live. However, West enterprise is finished for sure.”
