Damon chuckled. "As I said, you can buy them back at market value."
Pedro's expression darkened. "Mr. Sumner, don't joke with me. You are well aware that the Wilkie Group doesn't have that kind of money right now. Name another condition—anything the Wilkie Group can do, and I'll agree to it!"
For Pedro, saying this pushed his limits. If it weren't to eliminate future risks for Theo, he would never lower himself to negotiate like this with Damon.
Damon looked at him, his tone calm but unyielding. "Mr. Wilkie, I'm not joking. I'm a businessman. I make deals to earn money. If there's no profit, why would I spend 7,000,000 dollars to buy the Wilkie Group shares from Ms. Wilkie? For fun?"
"I've already offered 8,000,000 dollars to buy back the shares. It's only been a few days, and you'd be making an easy 1,000,000 dollars. Isn't that a profit?" Pedro countered.
"Mr. Wilkie, do you take me for a fool? Even if I don't sell the shares back to you, I could sell them to anyone else for ten times that profit or more. Why would I sell them to you?" Damon retorted.
Pedro's eyes widened with rage. "Damon, do you insist on making an enemy of the Wilkies?"
Damon said calmly, "Mr. Wilkie, if you were in my shoes and owned 10% of Prospectus Technology's shares, would you sell them to me for 8,000,000 dollars?"
Pedro's face darkened. "That's a completely different situation! Don't conflate the two."
"In my view, it's exactly the same. If you want the shares, come back with a sincere offer. One million dollars more? Are you trying to shoo away a beggar?" Damon replied.
Pedro's face flushed. Trembling, he abruptly stood, almost losing his balance. He struck the floor with his cane, his voice shaking with indignation. "Young man, don't let your arrogance get the best of you. It will only bring you harm!"
Unfazed, Damon replied, "I have work to do, Mr. Wilkie. I won't see you out. Take care."
Pedro's breath came faster, his anger boiling over. If he stayed a moment longer, he feared he might collapse from his boiling emotions. He turned and stormed out.
After a moment, Spencer returned to the office with coffee. "Mr. Sumner, where's Mr. Wilkie?"
"He left," Damon answered.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
