The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2216

Chapter 2216 Bear the Consequences

Roland frowned. "Jacques, why wouldn't Mrs. Sloan understand the contract? She's the president of Stanton Corporation, not a housewife who doesn't know anything. Usually, lawyers need to read the documents word by word. Why are you so anxious when it's only been a few minutes?"

Jacques's expression changed slightly as if he could not understand what Roland was saying.

'What? Who is she?”

He asked again in disbelief.

Roland saw that Nicole had no reaction or opinion, so he repeated her identity again.

Jacques instantly became serious and looked at Nicole solemnly. He no longer had a frivolous look in his eyes anymore.

"Ms. Stanton?"

He murmured, 'The hospitals under the Stanton Corporation are very popular in our country, so we would like to cooperate with your hospitals. If our products can..."

Nicole raised her hand to interrupt him and put the document on the table.

She said with an indifferent smile, "Let’s talk about the cooperation with Stanton Corporation later. This is a separate matter, and I came here on behalf of Clayton. I don’t think this document is appropriate. Also, based on your country's laws, selling our shares would require our approval. Now, I’m officially informing you that Clayton and I do not agree with this. Since he’s not around, I naturally have the final say in things. There's no doubt about that."

"Ms. Stanton, but the board of directors has unanimously approved it..."

'We're the second largest shareholder, and we didn't attend the shareholders' meeting, so that meeting can't approve anything meaningful."

Nicole said this calmly. She took a sip of coffee and pursed her lips.

"Jacques, I don't think we’ll lose even if we go through litigation, don't you think so?"

Although their country had protection measures, it was only to a certain extent. Once they went through litigation, the company’s image would be exposed to the public.

They marketed that they were a pure European company, but in fact, they were not. They were deceiving their consumers.

In fact, the longer they dragged this, it would only delay the chance of their product going on the market.

Thus, they would not ignore this time cost.

Now, Nicole and Jacques were just playing a mind game.

After Jacques learned about Nicole's identity, he did not dare to underestimate her anymore.

The document that he wanted to use to fool Nicole was now a piece of ridiculous evidence that made him feel embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Stanton. I didn't think it through. Getting back our shares is my father's dying wish. He doesn't have long to live, and he had always felt guilty about selling the shares to Mr. Sloan. My family’s business has been around for hundreds of years, and I hope to get the shares back and return them to the family before my father's death."

At this moment, Jacques was much more modest than before.

Nicole looked up at him and smiled slightly.

"Jacques, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can continue to talk about. Why don't you just send your lawyer to meet US next time?"

Then, she stood up.

Jacques did not expect his plan to fail because he thought that Medianians valued family the most.

In the end, Nicole did not have much empathy for him and wanted to leave before he could say anything else

"Ms. Stanton! Mrs. Sloan, I'm sorry. I apologize for my attitude just now. I

didn't know your real identity. But can we discuss the shares again? This is my father's dying wish..."

Nicole raised her eyelids, glanced at him, and smiled very gently.

"No. What does your father's wish have to do with me? I'm a businesswoman, not a philanthropist. I think you should know this better than anyone else."

Jacques could not keep his exposure and showed his true colors.
