When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1295

Unfortunately, I was not a businesswoman nor did I have the intention to collaborate with her.

After a moment of silence, I smiled and made an outrageous quote, “Thirty billion, then.”

Thora immediately lowered her head and chuckled. “You’re so funny, Ms. Stovall. Fuller Corporation’s assets don’t even exceed a billion. It doesn’t seem appropriate that you’d quote such a price.”

“Is that so…” I placed my arms on the table and propped my chin up. After pretending to rack my brains for a while, I raised my eyes and asked innocently, “Didn’t you say that I can quote any price that I want?”

When Thora heard that, a stunned expression crossed her face and a look of suspicion flashed across her eyes. It was as if she was doubting my intelligence.

Her offer to quote my own price was merely empty words. People who made such an offer were trying to seek a sense of superiority while expressing their sincerity to collaborate. Furthermore, the quoted price had to fall within fifty percent of the reasonable range. This was an unspoken rule in the industry. Although the person that made the offer would have to sacrifice more, both would be willing parties. After all, no one would go against money.

However, I took her words seriously that day.

George had transferred Fuller Corporation’s stocks to me. Although I did not own as much as Ashton, the stocks probably amounted to around five hundred million, considering how much Fuller Corporation had developed. Yet, I quoted a price of thirty billion, which was six times the market price. Thora was polite enough to merely remark that it “doesn’t seem appropriate,” but others who were more hot-headed would have accused me of scamming them.

Thora calmed herself down and asked impatiently, “What about eight billion?”

It was the highest price within the reasonable range. Plus, she even threw in an additional five hundred million. I had to admit that it was quite a tempting offer.
