“Mom, just take the three million to shut Nicole up!”
“Sylphiette, I know the precarious situation we are in now. But I really can’t take it lying down!”
“Mom, she has a hold over us now. We have to exercise restraint instead of antagonizing her. We can always take revenge in the future.”
Sylvia was convinced by Sylphiette’s reasoning. Anyway, I can’t do anything but take up Nicole’s offer for now.
Thus, she put up an act before Zane to persuade him to sell the company to Nicole.
Zane was astounded by the sudden change in Sylvia.
“Don’t you hate her? Why are you proposing to sell the company to her suddenly?”
“The Lane Corporation is nothing but an empty shell now. I have planned to sell her to Mr. Cannon in exchange for 5 million, but alas, Mr. Cannon is not interested in her. Given the company’s current situation, even a hundred million may not be able to save the company. We won’t suffer a loss if we sell the company to her for 3 million.”
However, Zane was unmoved by Sylvia’s persuasion. Thus, the latter roped in Sylphiette to help her to convince her father.
Eventually, Zane succumbed to the combined powers of persuasion from the pair of mother and daughter. He agreed to sell the Lane Corporation to Nicole for a mere three million.
At 8 pm that night, Nicole was surprised to receive a call from Sylvia. She had not expected Zane to agree to sell the company to her so readily. It seems like Sylvia is rather important to him.
She was thrilled at the thought of owning the Lane Corporation soon.
But three million is not a small sum. How should I get the money?
Nicole racked her brains for an entire night before deciding to approach Rocky for help the next day.
After all, Rocky is the successor of the Yan Group. Three million should be peanuts to him.
The next day, Nicole gave Rocky a call after she sent Maya and Nina to school.
Rocky acceded to Nicole’s loan request immediately.
After confirming that the money was in her account, Nicole headed over to the Lane Corporation. Finally, the Lane Corporation is mine after crossing so many hurdles!
That evening, she was in high spirits. After picking up the children, they returned home immediately.
But a shock awaited her after she opened the door.
