Penny hesitated at his offer.
Clifford was the Cabinet secretary who wielded immense influence while the Davier family was the most prominent family in Eurasia and was terribly powerful.
She was extremely worried that Nathan couldn't defeat the Davier family and would lose his life.
Cognizant of the situation, Ava advised immediately, “Mrs. Cross, don't take the bait by handing them the shares of Cross Group. The General definitely has a plan. You have to believe in him.”
When Valois saw that Penny was in a dilemma, he knew he had a chance. He had long planned to obtain the shares in Cross Group. As to whether they would kill Nathan in the end, it
would still be entirely up to them.
However, he didn't expect Penny's bodyguard, Ava, to foil his plans by advising Penny to decline his offer, causing him to fume in anger.
“Who do you think you are? You are speaking out of turn.”
“Men, seize her!”
Upon his command, the men in suits prepared to attack Ava.
Given that there were so many of them, Penny was worried that Ava couldn't manage. She shouted immediately, “Stop!”
Valois' subordinates stopped in their tracks and looked to him for further instructions.
Valois squinted his eyes, “Mrs. Cross?”
Penny added, “I agree to your demands.”
Ava panicked when she heard, it, “Mrs. Cross!”
Penny asserted, “Don't say another word. I have made my decision.”
Just as she spoke, Penny looked in Valois' direction. “I can transfer all the shares in Cross Group to the Davier family. But you must guarantee that my husband will be spared.”
Overjoyed, Valois readily agreed. “That goes without saying. I am a man of my word and it's worth its weight in gold.”
Penny replied, “Very well, where shall we sign the contract?”
Valois answered with a smile, “My company's office is nearby. We will escort both of you there.”
Penny snapped, “Alright.”
