“Will the fall of Stark Group bring any loss to Myra?” Tony arched his brow while questioning Cameron.
“Of course! Have you already forgotten that she has twenty-five percent of the shares of the company? If the company goes bankrupt, she won’t be able to get anything.”
Cameron gritted his teeth. In fact, it wasn’t just twenty-five percent. He was aware that there was someone else who had been buying off the company’s stocks that were on the market. Other than Tony, Cameron couldn’t imagine anybody else doing that.
However, he could only feign ignorance. “Of course, I wouldn’t make you help us for free. If Stark Group manages to fare through this, I’m willing to offer you Green Palms Project’s full profit. How does that sound?”
“Green Palms Project’s full profit…” There was a hint of ridicule in Tony’s voice while he sandwiched his phone between his shoulder and his cheek. He took out a cigarette, only to quickly throw the cigarette into the bin beside him as soon as he glanced at the belly of the woman who was sitting beside him.
After that, he picked up his phone again to continue the conversation casually. “President Stark, you must be joking. How could there be any more profit to the project after everything that happened? It would be a miracle to not suffer a loss.”
Upon hearing what Tony said, Cameron’s countenance shifted drastically as he gripped onto his phone tightly. “Won’t you be able to create miracles if you are the one who strikes? Green Palms Project isn’t that big of a project anyway. You might be able to earn more through the project compared to when Stark Group is managing it.”
Cameron absolutely believed that given its power and influence, Hart Group would be able to sell off the entire project within mere minutes, which would guarantee full profit. On the contrary, Stark Group wouldn’t be able to do much else with the project. Moreover, they might suffer a loss because of that.
It was all because of what Kris did last night, which turned out to be a liability for him. That was why he had to come to Tony in the first place. Since Stark Group wouldn’t be able to earn much anyway, he figured he should offer everything up to Tony so that he wouldn’t turn down the offer because of the potential loss that he might suffer.
“I never liked putting in the effort just so I could pick up other people’s pieces.” Tony put on a half smirk as he spoke. “However, I’ll consider helping you out if I think there’s something to gain out of it.” He seemed to be indicating something.
Upon hearing that, Myra lifted her head to check on him. She didn’t miss out on what he meant, so she reached out to hold his hand that was still covered in a splint before smiling at him appreciatively.
Arching his brow, Tony whispered into her ear abruptly, “You need to come up with another method if you want to thank me.”
Although he’s still on the phone with Cameron, he’s acting so cheekily! Of course Myra knew what he meant, so she blushed profusely while glaring at him. After that, she walked away from him toward the sofa. Perhaps because she was pregnant, her legs felt tired after standing for some time.
Letting go of Myra, he watched her retreating figure with a smile on his face. Yet, he was merciless while talking to Cameron. “It’ll depend on if you’re willing to prove your sincerity.”
Cameron’s face fell as soon as he heard that, for he knew full well what Tony was after. He was aiming for none other than even more of Stark Group’s shares. Roughly estimating, Myra now possessed over thirty percent of Stark Group’s shares. If he were to hand over more, the company would have to elect a new board of directors, which would even lead to someone else becoming the chairman of the board.
Throughout his life, Cameron valued power more than his own life, so he would never allow something like that to happen. Yet, Tony wouldn’t help Stark Group if he didn’t defer to him, spelling doom for the company.
