Next Man, Better Plan novel Chapter 114

Reading this, Stephanie couldn't help but frown.

With just one appearance at a signing ceremony, Quennel had gained a legion of admirers for his looks and elegant demeanor, with the comment section full of nothing but praise.

He was a natural performer, revealing no cracks in his facade for the camera.

These people would probably never know how deplorable his character truly was beneath his polished exterior.

Stephanie closed her laptop.

After last night's events, she knew she couldn't delay selling the company any longer.

As long as Meridian Consortium was in Quennel's hands, people would assume they were still together, and her name would forever be linked with his.

Besides, she had no desire to ever again experience something like bailing that cheat and his mistress out of a police station.

It was humiliating and infuriating, completely against her nature.

After some thought, she called Todd.

"Mr. Carter, I've reviewed the files you sent me. None of those companies will work. First, they're lowballing me, which makes me suspect they don't have the capital.

Second, they have no experience in industries similar to Meridian Consortium. If I sell the company to them, it probably won't last long."

Meridian Consortium was in manufacturing, yet an entertainment company and even a logistics firm wanted to get involved.

They were worlds apart. Being acquired by such completely unrelated businesses would only lead Meridian Consortium to ruin, which was not her intention in selling.

Todd wasn't surprised to hear this. He also believed those companies were unsuitable, but they were the best options available at the moment.

Todd said, "If we compare all aspects, the best choice is still Ironhold Investment Group. Miss, are you sure you won't reconsider working with Mr. Vasquez?"

Stephanie froze, Jonathan's face flashing in her mind.

Her fingers curled, and she inexplicably thought of last night's kiss, her cheeks warming with an involuntary blush.

Of course, she could talk to Jonathan again, but... if the negotiations didn't go well...

Would he get violent with her...?

Last night's dream suddenly surfaced in her mind without warning.

A closed room, dim light. Jonathan swept her up by the waist and threw her into the bathtub.
