Chapter 285 Collusion
He had been in the business world for so many years. If he couldn’t see through this kind of drama, then the Barnwell group wouldn’t have been able to get to where it was today. Zongxing’s old face sank, and he was speechless for a long time. When Jing saw this, he also panicked, “Dad, I will admit it, but I am not able to bear the consequences.” Not to mention that he had not completely taken over the family’s voice yet, even if he had, he could not compete with Hank’s strength. “Dad, say something. I was possessed and believed in Terry’s nonsense. I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Jing almost knelt down to Zongxing on the spot. However, the more he was like this, the more oppressive the atmosphere in the living room became. Zongxing slapped his thigh heavily. “Alright, scram to the side.” He looked at his son, who had returned from studying abroad, and then looked at Hank, who was sitting opposite him with a cold and solemn aura. He felt that his son could not be compared to Hank at all. Zongxing was helpless, so he could only give up his old face and face Hank. “Mr. Barnwell, say something straightforward. What do you want us to do?” As long as Hank spoke, there was still room for this matter. No matter what, Zongxing still had some face in the business world. No matter what, he would not lose Jing’s future. However, at this moment, he had misjudged Hank. Hank lightly raised his eyes and said this, causing the father and son of the Priestley family to be stunned on the spot. “I want 20% of the Priestley family’s shares.” “What?” “Hank, don’t go overboard. I admit that I did do something for Terry, but don’t even think about using this to threaten my father. Your Barnwell group already has a problem internally, and it’s not something I can control.” “Indeed, but this is my condition.” Hank chuckled. He calmly raised his hand. Keith immediately handed over an indictment. There was only one defendant on it, and that was Jing. “You have five minutes to think about it. If you agree to my conditions, I will just
pretend that this has never happened. If you don’t agree, this indictment will be sent to the court immediately.”
Jing quickly ran over to take a look and smiled disdainfully, “Go ahead and sue me. When I get to the court, I will expose Terry and the other directors. At that time…”
All of them would want to tear him apart. Hank did not need to do anything at all, and the Priestley Family would be tossed into a pile of mud.
This move of borrowing a knife to kill was indeed high.
Halfway through his words, Jing also realized that something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and retreated to the side.
Zongxing sighed heavily. He stood up and bowed to Hank. “This son of mine has been spoiled since he was young. He offended Mr. Barnwell. We accept this responsibility.”
“Very good. Then I won’t disturb you. Tomorrow morning, a lawyer will come to visit.” Hank got up and was about to walk out. “Mr. Barnwell, wait! Twenty percent is too much. Can you give Jasper some face and make a concession?” Zongxing abandoned his face and followed.
“I have already given Jasper enough face. If you continue to bargain, don’t blame me for being heartless.” Hank paused and smiled. His handsome face sank as he thought of something. “Oh right, the Jones Group can’t accommodate such a big shot. I think Jing should change to another company. It’s better for him.” He said coldly.
After that, he walked out of the Armstrong family’s gate. “Look at what you have done. I asked you to help Lyra and not let you go against Hank.” Zongxing scolded angrily. Hank sat in the car and left without looking back.
Jing said bitterly. “Dad, it’s not that I want to go against him. He clearly likes Lyra. I did this to let Lyra look at me more.” “Do you think that without Hank, she can like you?” “Go and reflect on yourself. Stay away from that Terry,” Zongxing said with a sigh. Jing lowered his head and said unwillingly, “Then do you really intend to give up the company’s shares? You saw Hank’s attitude just now. He simply came to look for trouble. In my opinion, we shouldn’t follow his wishes!” Zongxing’s face immediately sank, “Go upstairs!” The most powerful thing about Hank was not that he was sitting in the position of
President of the Barnwell group, but that he knew how to persevere.
This was also the reason why the Jones family had been destroyed in his hands.
