Life at The Top novel Chapter 260

Jasper got him to arrive at this time because he knew that the entire Zion family would either be arguing over the money or discussing strategies.

Harvey might be the head of the family, but who would be thinking for the family when they could not even protect themselves during a crisis like this?

Every member of the family had a share in the shipyard.

Now was the time to make off with as much money as possible.

With this interjection, Harvey would not be able to stop his family members’ greed no matter how insistent he was.

“Mr. Laine also instructed me to only give you 20 minutes to think about it. It’s been 15 minutes. I’ll leave if you aren’t going to agree,” Mr. Lambert spoke pompously.

That caused members of the Zion family to have an even uglier expression on their faces.

“I’ll sell!” Herman gritted his teeth as he stood and said, “I own 20% of the shipyard’s shares!”

The rest of the Zion family could not sit still after hearing what Herman said.

“I’ll sell too. I own 13%.”

“I have 17%. I’ll sell too!”

A lively discussion took place. Soon, Harvey was the only one who had not spoken yet.

Mark’s face was pale as he tugged on Harvey’s shirt and said chokingly, “Dad, why don’t we sell it? We can go abroad and start again.”

Harvey heaved a long sigh. He seemed to have aged at least ten years as he said listlessly, “I’ll sell. I’ll sell it all.”

Mr. Lambert smiled in satisfaction. As members of the Zion family looked on impatiently, he retrieved a contract that had been prepared earlier from his briefcase and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll need everyone’s signatures.

“The contract will come into effect once everyone has signed their names. Your family will then own an additional 50 million dollars.”

No one hesitated when they saw the check in Mr. Lambert’s hands and surged forth to sign their names.

When Harvey finally managed to sign his name, Mr. Lambert took the contract and placed the 50 million dollar check on the coffee table. He smiled as he said, “It’s been a pleasure doing business with you. I hope we never meet again.”
