Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 129

To uncover the truth about who really pulled Dante from the icy lake all those years ago, Silas Vance had spent the last few days traversing across state lines.

Exhausted from his travels, he arrived back at the Hayes Corporation late that night, only to walk right into Dante's explosive temper. His furious voice echoed all the way down to the elevators.

"You are absolutely useless!"

"It's just a lakeside property! How can you not secure a simple transaction after all this time? What the hell am I paying you for?!"

Silas knew immediately he was raging about the Sapphire Lake estate.

He had been handling the acquisition before he had to leave town to investigate Dante's past, leaving the negotiations in the hands of Arthur Ambrose.

Arthur stood in the middle of the office, his head bowed in complete defeat.

"Mr. Hayes, I have tried every possible avenue to contact the owner. I've offered incentives, I've applied pressure—but they are rock solid. They absolutely refuse to sell."

Dante slammed his fist onto the mahogany desk, the heavy thud ringing through the room. "Didn't I tell you to acquire it at any cost?"

"Offer them more money! I refuse to believe anyone is immune to a high enough number!"

Dante wholeheartedly believed that everything in this world had a price tag.

His face was a mask of thunderous rage, his chest heaving. Quinn's birthday was fast approaching, and he still hadn't secured the one gift she wanted. How could he not be furious?

Arthur swallowed hard, looking utterly helpless. "But Mr. Hayes, we already raised the offer from its market value to tens of millions of dollars! The owner didn't even blink!"

Tens of millions of dollars?

Dante narrowed his dark eyes, a dangerous chill radiating from him.

The scenery at Sapphire Lake was beautiful, but it was miles away from the commercial district. It had zero business value, meaning tens of millions was an astronomical overpay.

How on earth did the owner turn down that kind of wealth?

"Give me their direct contact info. I will negotiate this myself."
