She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242

Jewel’s expression hardened, her jaw clenched as if she were grinding her teeth.

She had expected Dominic to impose conditions that would put her in a difficult position. She had not expected them to be this

harsh.

Autumn sat off to the side, casually pulling out her phone and scrolling through short videos, as though the conversation had nothing to do with her.

“A product is still just a product. No matter how great its potential may be, that all belongs to the future,” Jewel said through clenched teeth.

Dominic smiled calmly. He rested his hands on the table, interlaced his fingers, and said, “Fine. Let’s set that aside for now. If I’m not mistaken, you have a certain obsession with JewelMed. Suppose Ms. Palmer hadn’t appeared. After breaking away from the Garcia Group, what were you planning to do next?”

Jewel fell silent for several seconds before answering, “JewelMed was founded by my father, Autumn’s grandfather. My older sister is Jade Wright. She never got along with him and even hoped JewelMed would go bankrupt. But making JewelMed

successful was my father’s wish before he passed away.

“Even without Ms. Palmer, I would have chosen to work with Zachary. He has connections, an existing factory he can transfer to JewelMed, sufficient capital, and offline stores.”

Dominic’s smile deepened slightly. He understood her meaning. She was saying she still had Zachary as a fallback, so he should not push too far.

“Zachary wouldn’t work with you without conditions,” Dominic said. “If I’m not mistaken, that includes shares as well.”

“49%,” Jewel replied. “Much better than your condition.”

“Haha, 49%. That means the company stays in your hands. What a generous deal,” Dominic said with a sneer.

He then shifted the topic. “But if I were Zachary, what would I be after? Connections, factories, capital, stores. Putting in all that effort and taking only 49% of JewelMed. What a saint.”

The odd tone in his voice irritated Jewel for no clear reason. “Stop being sarcastic. At least Zachary isn’t as-”

She nearly called him shameless. With Autumn present and still needing his help, she swallowed the words.

Dominic waved his hand. “All businessmen chase profit. No one acts without gain. Put in that much, win your favor, then reclaim both the person and the company with interest. A true businessman. Sharp–minded. Of course, maybe Zachary truly loves you.”

Jewel fell silent. If she claimed Zachary had no ulterior motives and acted out of pure kindness, she did not believe it herself.

Before Andriana appeared, she had no other options. Her connections were limited to the Garcia Group. Once that collaboration ended, she truly would not be able to move forward at all.

After a moment, she said, “At the very least, he didn’t propose conditions as outrageous as yours”

“Then you can leave through the door on your left. I won’t walk you out,” Dominic said evenly. “cio find Zachary, accept his terms, and hand both yourself and the company over to him.”

“You…” Jewel flared with anger again.

When she thought it through, she realized she had nothing to refute.

She had discussed this with Autumn before. If she worked with Zachary, she would most likely end up with him in the end.

That was what she had meant that day. If it had to be Zachary, then it would only ever be him.
