Claimed by the Crown Heir novel Chapter 137

Vanessa took the order form and glanced at it.

Hundreds of millions of dollars!

"Do you even know how much liquid capital the company has right now? And you want to casually drop hundreds of millions on raw materials?"

"I've been negotiating this deal for an entire month! I talked my throat raw to get the price this low. No matter what, the company can afford it!" Giselle snapped impatiently. "All you have to do is sign! Are you afraid I'll succeed and outshine you? Is that why you're purposely blocking me?"

Vanessa looked up, her gaze icy and calm.

"Blocking you? Giselle, get this through your head. This isn't a few thousand dollars—it's hundreds of millions. You haven't bothered to check our liquid assets or assess the risk, yet you're confidently demanding a wire transfer?"

"The seller is a very reputable mining tycoon in the industry. If we pass on this, we'll never get another chance!"

"Do you have a certified appraisal report? Third-party guarantees? A finalized contract with proper risk-mitigation clauses?"

Giselle froze, answering reluctantly, "I have the certified appraisal."

"Only one type? How do you know it isn't forged?" Vanessa shoved the application back, her tone indifferent. "I am not approving this. If something goes wrong, throwing hundreds of millions into this is just flushing it down the drain."

"Stop fear-mongering! You just want to horde all the company's liquid capital for that exclusive Vittini Asia-Pacific agency project you just secured! You're deliberately rejecting my purchase just so your little project has money to burn!"

Giselle was utterly furious. "You're just selfish! You can't stand seeing anyone do better than you!"

Vanessa's eyes turned frosty. "Vittini is a legitimate, board-approved strategic venture. Every single cent is accounted for. Your hundreds of millions, on the other hand, carry massive risk. Can you afford to make that gamble?"

"High risk, high reward! What business doesn't have risks? You could choke while eating a sandwich," Giselle shot back. "Stop making up excuses to reject me!"

"I'm done talking to you."

Since she couldn't be reasoned with, there was no point wasting time.

"Vanessa, you are not leaving!"

"If you're so capable, go get Father to sign off on your mess. I am not paying the price for your stupidity."

Without looking back, she stepped into the elevator.

Watching the doors slide shut, Giselle bit her lip, her eyes burning with pure rage.
