Yuriel didn't intervene this time; he merely calmly puffed on his cigar.
Meanwhile, Shania stared at Yohann and asked in a strange tone, "Mr. Gust, how dare you question how someone does business? I'd like to ask you how you conduct yours. Is it through coercion?"
"Shut your mouth! Did I ask for your opinion?" Yohan roared, glaring at Shania.
Shania was Windex Corporation's CEO, whereas Yohann was Evermore Properties' vice president.
Despite that, Yohann didn't show her any respect. To him, Shania was just a young upstart.
Suddenly, Yuriel's bodyguards charged into the room.
Shania's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. If only she had brought a few bodyguards with her whent she left!
When she glanced at Carlisle and noticed his slight frown, she sighed inwardly before saying to Carlisle," Carl, you don't have to feel pressured. If you made a prior promise to Mr. Gust, you can go ahead and sell those properties to him."
Although she desperately wanted the properties Carlisle had, she couldn't jeopardize him.
After all, Carlisle had no power or influence. Yuriel could easily make life difficult for Carlisle in Riverland.
And if something happened to Carlisle, no one would be able to help him seek justice.
Yuriel turned to look at Yohann, his tone indifferent as he scolded, "The strong bullying the weak? What kind of behavior is this?
"Did I not tell you to control your temper during negotiations? If you don't fix your temper, how can I entrust Evermore Properties to you in the future?"
It was clear to everyone that Yuriel was just making empty threats.
Hearing those words, Yohann forced a smile and sat down. He believed that his show of force would intimidate Carlisle.
Yuriel then sat down his cigar. Elegantly picking up his wine glass, he took a sip from it and put on a small smile.
"Carlisle, my friend, this is my cousin Yohann Gust. He's new to his position and has a bit of a temper.
Please don't take offense."
Carlisle remained composed as he gently sipped from his wine glass.
Shania noticed that ripples formed in the wine when Carlisle lifted his glass. It was clear that Carlisle was only pretending to be calm, Even Shanja, a 30-year-old and a company's CEO, would feel nervous facing Yuriel, the wealthiest man in Riverland.
Chapter 180
After taking a sip of wine and setting down his glass, Carlisle calmly stated, "You can buy the residential properties, but the ice skating rink and karaoke spot must be sold to Windex Corporation."
Shania's eyes widened at his words, emotions swirling in her chest.
While she was touched by Carlisle's consideration for her despite the pressure from Yurief, she was also anxious because she knew Yuriel would likely refuse Carlisle's condition.
If Carlisle insisted on his own course of action, he could very well find himself in a dangerous situation. Neither Shania nor Lethan could guarantee his safety.
Shein could intervene, but at this critical moment, he wouldn't easily offend Yuriel.
"Carlisle, we've worked together before; you know I'm a frank person. I must have all the properties you have!
"How about this? Since your parents are currently unemployed, I happen to own a molding factory in Rainville.
"If you agree to sell me your that properties, I'll arrange for your parents to become executives at th company company. You attended Rainville High School, so you must have heard of Sentaur Molding Factory."
Yuriel bore a gentle smile, and his tone and attitude were sincere as he continued to convince Carlisle Of course, Carlisle knew about Sentaur Molding Factory. It was Rainville's largest factory which offered excellent benefits to its three thousand employees.
Owen's father was a supervisor there, and he made 15 hundred dollars a a
month, making him'à respected En figure in the entire Franklin Complex. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
But these were all secondary considerations. The message Yuriel conveyed was that he knew everything about Carlisle.
If Carlisle didn't agree to his demands, it could potentially affect his parents as well, Carlisle's grip on the highball glass tightened. Still, he quickly composed himself and smiled.
"Since you've put it this way, Mr. Gust, it would seem like I don't know what's good for me if I don't agree to it!"
Yuriel laughed heartily at that. Raising his glass, he announced, "Then let's toast to a pleasant cooperation!
