"Conditions?" Liam Ye shook the wine glass in his hand and gave Maura Shawn a playful look. "Mrs. Chen, that's not good," he said.
"Then what do you mean?" Maura spoke without expression.
"It's simple. A project, a glass of wine." Liam smiled and raised a finger.
"Mrs. Chen, I have purchased a total of seven projects from Hank Shawn." Liam smiled faintly. "Now, I can give you back the seven projects. All you have to do is have seven drinks with me."
Seven glasses of wine!
Maura's face had changed. She could only drink three glasses.
Besides, even if she could have had seven drinks, what if Liam broke his promise?
"Mrs. Chen. Is my request acceptable?" Liam asked, shaking a wine glass in his hand.
Maura bit her red lip. Is this condition acceptable?
Yes!
Liam bought seven of Hank's projects for $20 million. Liam could sell them for $40 million or even $50 million.
For seven drinks, Liam could let her get seven projects back for the full price of $20 million. That meant her seven drinks were worth twenty or thirty million dollars, so that was perfectly acceptable.
Maura would have drunk seven glasses of red wine in the past even though she knew Liam would probably cheat on her.
But could she do it now?
Maura couldn't help glancing outside the box. She knew that Finn Chen was standing just outside the box. All she needed was a word, then Finn would come in and solve all the problems.
She didn't need to drink a drop of wine to take back the seven projects.
But was she really going to do that?
Did she really have to rely on Finn all the time?
Maura was confused. At one time, Finn was a well-known loser. Her greatest wish was Finn to become powerful and give her a broad arm to lean on in the future.
But when Finn became better, Maura found herself not wanting to rely on Finn so much anymore.
She felt that way even more strongly when she learned that Finn was part of Chen's Family.
She wanted to prove to Finn that she was more than just good looking!
She wanted to be worthy of Finn.
That's why, this time, she offered to talk to Liam and the rest of them.
To put it bluntly, she wanted to take this opportunity to prove herself.
"It's acceptable." Maura took a deep breath. Now that she has made her decision, she won't hesitate anymore, and from today on, she won't rely on Finn.
She wanted to be powerful!
She didn't want to be Finn's Achilles heel!
She'd rather be Finn's helper!
