My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1618

In such a short period of time, I had refused the same person three times in a row. Everyone had to think that I was deliberately picking on him.

Sean's face turned red. He looked more furious than ever. He let go of the cutlery in his hand, and the knife and fork clunked loudly against the plate. "You took over Granger Group at this time. I thought you were different from Mr. Roberts."

Indeed, to some extent, Hendrix and I were trying to prevent Granger Group from falling into the hands of foreign capital. Previously, when Irvin was busy between Mesville and Jarold City, there was no leader in the company. Although the government had put a lot of pressure to stop GW Group, many shareholders had already expressed their willingness to accept the acquisition from GW Group for their own interest. If I supported Hendrix's purchase, I could have persuaded the shareholders on behalf of Roberts Group. However, I chose to represent Irvin. Obviously, I attached more importance to the overall interest of Granger Group. GW Group must have thought that I wanted to get two billion dollars for the company.

Sean and I both knew the deal, so I didn't want to beat around the bush. "You know more than I do that despite so many accidents happening in Granger Group in such a short period of time, Irvin had refused your purchase request before. I'm just following his orders at this moment. I thought you wouldn't be so surprised."

Sean's expression changed dramatically, but he soon returned to normal. He leaned back on the chair and said, "I don't understand what you're trying to tell me, Mrs. Roberts."

He still wanted to act innocent now? Well, it's a pity that the facts were too obvious. The disappearance of Shirley and Dannie was set up to stir turmoil inside Irvin, which benefited the GW Group the most.

This was one of the reasons why I didn't like GW Group. They would beat around the bush when they thought that they would win for sure. For people like Sean, time was their best bargaining chip. The longer they delayed, the more their chances of winning were.

Unfortunately this time, they were wrong. Granger Group had smartly gone into the Al business. It was not the same as those companies that were destined to be abandoned in modernization. As long as things were managed well, they would get back on the right track sooner or later.

"Sean." Addressing him by his first name could be considered my final gesture of respect. I looked into his eyes and my expression was serious. "I am well aware of your motives. Roberts Group rejected your offer, which was why you had to drag Irvin into the mud with your underhanded tricks. However, I'll warn you once more that this isn't Mesville, and it'll be impossible for you to control everything. Roberts and Granger Group will only get stronger in Jarold City. If GW Group still wants to set foot in the city in the future, you'd better go back and persuade your bosses. Tell them to give up on threatening Irvin with dirty tricks to sell the company.”

I remembered that Monique had mentioned that my face was not stunning, but it was unforgettable. However, when my expression was cold, it was enough to make people shiver.

At this moment, when I faced Sean, I was full of confidence. I could even feel the cold expression on my face. Naturally, the person in front of me would feel tremendous pressure.

I narrowed my eyes to make myself look more intimidating, and hoped that they could let Shirley and Dannie go.

Sean finally put away his pride as a citizen of Mesville. There was a trace of suspicion in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the credibility of my words. After a while, he uttered in a slow voice, "Mrs. Roberts... Oh, no, it's better to call you Miss Reid. No wonder Mr. Roberts is so devoted to you. Would you believe this? Sooner or later, you'll work with us."
