My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264 

The Hicks family of Sagen has always been low–key. Every year, they invested ten million to collect intelligence from the business world. They emphasized stability above all else. Within the family, there was a blacklist that was updated every three days, with newly listed names always placed at the top. 

Hera emerged as a rising female tycoon in the business world, her bold and aggressive style catching the attention of the patriarch, who even placed her at the top of the list. 

For three consecutive days, the patriarch sent emails to all branches, urging them not to provoke Hera. He even personally made over ten calls to Jonford himself.

Edward roared. 

He slammed the table after losing his temper. His eyes were almost popping out of their 

sockets. 

His private doctor hurried forward to help the old man, giving him oxygen. Edward looked like he had aged ten years. After inhaling oxygen for about three minutes and calming down, he slowly said, “You have three days to transfer the Jonford branch to Hera.”

Edward snorted coldly, “Do you think giving her 16 billion will make Hera calm down? Southern Heavens Pharmaceutical is in its development stage. She lacks equipment, talent, and factories. Do you think she’ll let this opportunity slip by?” 

The old man was steady. He knew that if he did not transfer the company, they would likely incur even greater losses.
