My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1595

Sean had also brought three assistants with him, all of whom were foreigners and experts in the business field.

Then, everyone took their seats.

Sean took the initiative to come to us, seemingly with great sincerity. As soon as he sat down, he spoke, "Mr. Roberts, about the proposal your company suggested... After the financing of GW Group, our company can only get 15% of the Roberts Group shares. We had further discussions and decided on 17% instead. That's our last offer. If there's no problem, let's sign the contract today."

As Sean spoke, the assistant closest to him stood up and placed the contract in front of Hendrix.

About the financing of GW Group, Hendrix had probably postponed it until now since the year before. Sean and his assistant had been staying in the country for nearly half a month. It was understandable that Sean was anxious to settle the matter and return to his country.

I had looked through the documents and saw that the initial condition was 20% of the Roberts Group's shares. Hendrix insisted on lowering the shares for the GW Group, and Sean showed his sincerity by making a huge step back. Businessmen would never carry out business at a loss. Regardless, GW Group had other benefits too, so there was nothing for us to be grateful for.

Hearing that, Hendrix exchanged a look with me. Then he reached out his hand and pushed the contract back to Sean's side, saying calmly, "We would like to apologize, Mr. Sean. I ask for your understanding that the general situation in the country isn't that smooth- sailing for Roberts Group. We have other plans, so I'm afraid that the financing needs to be postponed."

As soon as Hendrix finished speaking, Sean's initial cheerful expression immediately changed. He managed to hold it in and forced a stiff smile, saying, "Are you kidding me, Mr. Roberts?"

Compared to Sean's huge parent company, Roberts Group could only be considered a small company. GW Group personally went that far from abroad to settle the matter in Zuckerburg. It was difficult enough for them to lower their pride, and they had even given in a lot while negotiating. But right then, Roberts Group was rejecting their offer. Anyone would be furious in such a situation.

Offending GW Group was not a good thing. Looking at Sean's face, I couldn't help but worry for Hendrix. Rejecting their offer like that meant that Roberts Group would probably have a new enemy in the future.

At that moment, Hendrix suddenly his chair around and leaned against me. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder, embracing me as he gently placed his other hand on my belly. With a hopeful look in his eyes, he said, "I'm not joking. Mr. Sean. I believe you've done your research about me. Surely you know my wife miscarried twice. It's not easy for us to have this child, so I don't want any accidents to happen. Therefore, I won't take any risks in business before my child is born, and until the child is one year old."

I was confused and thought to myself, "I'm pregnant? Why do I not know it?"

Hendrix glanced at me affectionately and turned to Sean. He asked with a serious expression, "To want to become parents is the nature of mankind. I believe that Mr. Sean and the directors of GW Group can understand my feelings, right?"

Hendrix's tone was not aggressive, but every word was so forceful and powerful. Sean was speechless and didn't know how to retort. He sat in the chair with a frown, and his expression was indeed unpleasant.

Noticing that Sean was in a dilemma, Hendrix immediately withdrew his gaze. He looked down at my belly and stroked it carefully as he said softly, "Mr. Sean, if you're afraid that it'll be hard to explain to your superiors when you go back, I can sign another agreement with you. In the future, if Roberts Group starts its own international financing, we'll first consider GW Group. What do you think?"
