Nibel sounded leisurely when he spoke, "How could that be? I did it to help you."
I started the car and slowly replied, "Don't tell me you sold so many shares and companies in order to accumulate cash for me to have the capital to fight against the Yards."
I only heard a snap of his fingers over the phone before Nibel's smug laughter followed. "That's right. How very smart of you. Shouldn't you be thanking me, President Lane?"
I just smiled. "I don't believe you threw away so many shares just because of me."
"My dear Miss Wanda, I think you underestimate the Yard family's might. You small businesses can't afford to go up against their family alone. What's more, they have Grant Corporation's partnership now. You have to prepare for far more than what you imagined. I announced the news today to let the Yards know how much capital we have!"
I seemed to come to an understanding after listening to what he said.
Nibel was forcing the Yards. Even if the Yard family did not plan to bet their all in the beginning, they had to go all in now.
That was because they know now that Nibel was my backer and that he was making his preparations. We had a lot of cash on hand, so the Yards were bound to be restless.
It was a great move.
I smiled and clapped my hands. "Your plan is indeed a thorough one, Nibel. So, how much confidence do we have now?”
Nibel reported a number to me, and I was overjoyed as I drove directly to Green Orange.
Tyler and Marius just so happened to be there as well, so I told them the good news.
"130 million?"
