Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1811

The Bryant family wasn't easily fooled—they knew this proposal was way off the mark. Giving up ten percent of Bryant Group's shares plus annual dividends? They'd have no need to team up with International Glam if they did that. It was clearly a lopsided deal.

Fiona saw right through it. The ten percent shares and dividends were just a smokescreen. She knew there was no way the Bryant family would agree, and she only mentioned it to see how they'd react.

If they were actually naive enough to agree, she had no plans to partner with them. Any family willing to make such a bad deal was bound to crash and burn soon.

"Ms. Fiona, didn't we settle on five percent of the shares earlier? Why the sudden jump?"

"Yeah, Ms. Fiona, this price hike is out of the question. No family would go for such a large portion. You're biting off more than you can chew, young lady."

The underlying message was that Fiona's International Glam lacked the Stonnell family's backing. The Bryant family knew all about the drama with the Stonnells, including some ruthless moves, which was why they were wary of Fiona.

Fiona couldn't care less about their grumbling. She just shrugged, spread her hands, and smiled, "So, where's your sincerity? Let's be upfront. I've got another meeting lined up next door."

A direct threat!

The Bryant family turned pale with anger, trembling with rage, yet powerless against Fiona.

Without her agreement, they couldn't report any success, nor could they expect the Bryant family to shine in the upcoming quarter.

"Five percent of the shares plus dividends."

"Nope, eight percent of the shares, forget the dividends," Fiona laid out her real aim.

The thought was infuriating; this deal left a bitter taste.

"Here's to a pleasant partnership," Fiona said, extending her hand with a cheerful smile at the disgruntled faces before her.

She had finally secured Jasmine's position.

The contract signing was now Tyler's task, as she needed to deal with the Woods family.

Tyler pulled out the contract, already prepared with the eight percent shares. Instantly, the Bryant family realized they'd been outsmarted by Fiona. Without her crafty plan, they wouldn't have lost the three percent shares.

"You're young, but pretty sly," a Bryant family member murmured through gritted teeth.
