NovelOnlineChapter 1253:
Without a flicker of concern, Jordy lounged back, resting his foot on the empty chair beside her, sounding even
more relaxed than before. “I won't deny it. You did helponce. But those days are gone. Now, I've got more
wealth than you ever had. Frankly, you mean nothing to me. I'm only here for whatever scraps you're clutching
in your hand.”
“Scraps?” Rosie was both shocked and enraged by his words. “How dare you say something like that to me? The
only reason you've got anything at all is because of me! Forget it, your family was once nothing in Shirie. If |
hadn’t stepped in, you'd have been crushed. Everything | handed you, | can snatch right back.”
Jordy’s lips twisted into a smirk, his voice dripping with scorn. “Remind me—who exactly do you think you are? If
the Harpers hadn't frozen your accounts and snatched away every last resource you had, perhaps you would still
matter in the business world. You managed to cross the one family nobody dares to offend. You're finished. Take
my advice—dump those failing assets now. Every minute you hang on to them, your losses just keep piling up.”
He pulled a check from inside his jacket, let it rest on the table, and tapped it as if daring Rosie to refuse. “Ten
million for seventeen companies. That's my offer. Satisfied?”
He watched Rosie closely, amusement flickering in his eyes.
Rosie's attention landed on the check. She looked at the numbers, her anger building with every heartbeat. She
snatched it up and, in one swift motion, ripped it to pieces, letting the scraps rain down on Jordy.

team is gifted, and the deal includes everyone—my staff, our contracts, and the equipment. Yet, you toss ten
million atas if that’s all they are worth? You think I'm desperate?”
Jordy gave a low, mocking laugh. “Save your speech. | know exactly what's happening. The brains behind your
operation already walked out. Employees? You haven't paid them in months. No one works for free. Your
production lines are shut down. Your engineers have vanished.”

“The land and equipment alone are worth more than your pathetic offer. You'd better watch yourself, Jordy. Just
because I'm struggling now doesn’t mean I've lost every ally. Push me, and | might take your family down,” Rosie
said.
With an exaggerated shudder, Jordy pulled back his foot and leaned in closer, wearing a taunting grin. “You really
think you can threaten me? I'm offering ten million for everything you have left. Take it or leave it—I’'m not out of
options. Brenna’s robotics project is looking for backers. There's real potential there. Investing in that makes
more sense than pouring money into your sinking ship.”
Rosie’s temper boiled over, barely kept in check by the smug way he looked at her. She glanced at the
bodyguards at the door and said to Jordy coldly, “This is the last tI’m asking you. Will you pay market price
or not? I'm in a tight spot, and | need someone on my side. Lenda hand, and I'll back you up once | regain
my power. Remember, I'll soon becthe King’s wife in Plieca, and everyone there will owerespect.”
A burst of laughter cfrom Jordy, laced with nothing but mockery. “Royalty in stiny nation isn’t worth half
as much as the mayor's partner here in Shirie. Bragging like that just makes you look silly! Plieca has what, just
over eight million people? Shirie alone houses twenty million. You shouldn't even feel offended if | say you shine
even less than our mayor's wife.”
Without a word, Rosie motioned for the bodyguards. They responded at once. Two approached, and one of them
grabbed Jordy, slamming him down so hard that the sound echoed.
