When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 299

“That’s right! Hayes Corporation could have turned the tide and maybe even gained a billion! Why did Sebastian veto that? I wonder what his motive is?”

It was a quiet afternoon, and a few minor shareholders were gathered in the garden of a villa, discussing Sebastian’s decision.

“Don’t say that! Mr. Hayes must have his own reasons for making that decision,” Patrick chided. He was the villa owner and had a bigger shareholding compared to the rest.

“Why? Don’t forget he is not quite right up there, Mr. Young. Who knows what he is up to?” One of the aggrieved men retorted, pointing to his head to indicate Sebastian’s rumored mental problem.

Patrick’s face fell, and he warned, “Mind your words! Don’t go around spreading unverified rumors!”

Although he defended Sebastian, he was actually a two-faced, cunning man.

It would not be easy to oust the president in a direct confrontation, so he used other underhanded means to achieve his aim.

After the other men left, Patrick went back to his study, and his secretary followed closely.

When they were alone, the secretary couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Young, will the new successor of Hayes Corporation really give us what we want if we managed to oust Sebastian?”

“Of course! Otherwise, he can kiss Hayes Corporation goodbye!” Patrick laughed confidently as he happily picked up his golf bag and headed out.

Meanwhile, over at Wall Street in Moranta, Sasha was in distress.

She had only closed one contract worth a few hundred thousand that day, and that was to be executed six months later. At the rate she was going, she would be in financial trouble soon.

Sasha was in a sullen mood when she got back to her temporary accommodation, a place that belonged to Solomon’s friend.

Lance had left her alone and kept to himself for the past few days. It was only when he realized she had no plans to leave the place that he approached her for a discussion.

“Sha, shall we move out?”

“Huh? Move? Where to?” Sasha asked him in return.

“It may not be nice for us to stay here when Solomon is not in. Since we have no plans to leave Moranta soon, it would be better to find our own place. What do you think?” Lance reasoned.

“Oh, you are right! It slipped my mind. Sure! Could you help look around for it?” Sasha agreed.

“Okay.” He immediately turned to leave.
