Chapter 715
Lemira fixed her gaze on the two of them. “Quite a bargain, isn’t it? Just one act of kneeling from you is worth tens of millions p>
Evander exploded in anger. “Keep dreaming, Lemira p>
“No, you’re the ones dreaming,” Lemira replied coolly, the corner of her mouth lifting in a cold smirk. “You make demands so casually—it’s honestly naive beyond belief p>
With that, Lemira walked straight to the dining room for her meal, showing no intention of wasting another second on them.
Evelina watched Lemira’s departing figure, then turned to Evander in frustration, complaining, “Talk to Asher, will you? Get him to transfer the shares to Lemira. It’s not like Lemira would get the short end of the stick p>
“I’ll talk to Asher later. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this for you,” Evander reassured her.
Evelina lowered her voice, “And you promised the shares would be under my name, right p>
“Of course. I never go back on my word,” Evander replied confidently. After all, his shares were worth much more than the villa.
Just then, Asher happened to come downstairs, speaking on his phone as he walked. “Make sure all the follow-up ads are scheduled. We need to keep the hype going for our products-only then can we negotiate well with investors p>
Asher ended the call and noticed Evelina’s tearful expression, a flicker of irritation crossing his face.
He glanced at her, “Is your face alright? Book an appointment at the cosmetic clinic your chin can’t have any issues, or it’ll affect your appearance on camera p>
Evelina’s eyes darted. “Asher, is the company safe now p>
“For now, there won’t be any plagiarism allegations. As for the project, you need to coordinate with PZ Group. Production will start soon p>
“I know, Asher. The factory is ready. As soon as the funds are in, they can begin work. The materials are essentially all prepared p>
Evelina felt a surge of excitement-once Asher started wiring the money, her plan would be halfway to success.
Asher nodded. “You need to keep a close watch on the factory, understand? If there’s any problem, report to me immediately. Don’t let down my trust p>
“Don’t worry, Asher. I definitely won’t disappoint you this time p>
Evander chimed in, “Asher, Eve is about to marry me. She’ll soon be part of the Langston family. She’s completely loyal to us-there won’t be any issues p>
Asher massaged his temples. “Alright, that’s settled p>
They had finally gotten through this crisis.
Evander continued, “Asher, since Eve made such a big contribution this time, shouldn’t she get a reward p>
Asher headed into the dining room. “Just say what you want p>
“Asher, this villa was supposed to be our marital home, but now you’ve given it to Lemira. I was thinking of using my shares as collateral to buy it back from her p>
“No p>
Asher refused instantly.
He couldn’t let Lemira have those shares. If she combined them with the ones held by Lucian, Alaric, and Caspian, she could become the largest shareholder in the Langston Group Then he’d be a
laughingstock. After what happened with the entertainment company last time, Asher would never let it happen again.
Evander was clearly unhappy. “Asher, then at least talk to Lemira for me. Tell her I’m willing to buy the villa p>
Lemira, eating at the table, looked up. “Not selling for anything less than fifty million p>
“Mom and Dad only paid five million for this place, and Lemira’s asking fifty million? Asher, do you really think that’s fair p>
Asher rubbed his temples. “Evander, why don’t you just give Lemira an IOU p>
“No way,” Lemira shot back. “Who buys a house with an IOU? If that’s
the case, why don’t I write you an
IOU for a hundred million, Asher and you can just hand over all your shares to me p>
Asher fell silent.
Unable to do anything about Lemira, Evander could only look helplessly at Asher.
“Asher, can you lend me some money p>
“The company needs working
capital right now. Where am I supposed to get you that much cash? Once this project wraps up, I’ll buya Villa for you and Eve as your
marital höme. How about that p>
