The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 788

Several seasoned investors had long smelled that Starlight International was going to make a move and started buying up stocks bit by bit. Their moves stirred the pot and other investors started to dip their toes into the Olson Group stock pool too.

Before long, a fifth of the Olson Group stocks got snatched up while Chloe was dawdling with the go-ahead, nearly driving Starlight International's investment department up the wall!

Once Starlight International kicked off the takeover, other sharp-eyed investors would be swarming to grab stocks at the same time. Getting in touch with Starlight International was like getting in touch with Star itself!

Riding on Star's coattails, anyone could make a killing!

Just as Chloe hung up with the investment department, her phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, Chloe's face darkened slightly. She stared at her phone for a bit before finally taking the call.

"Hello, Mr. Olson."

"Chloe…"

Kendal's voice was weak and somewhat hoarse. Chloe lowered her head, clenching her pen, and glanced at the screen, waiting quietly for Kendal to speak.

"Chloe, I know you bear a grudge against Lance. He screwed up a lot, including letting you down and hooking up with Keira… The Olson family owes you…"

A sarcastic smile appeared in Chloe's eyes. Looking at the computer, she saw that the scattered Olson Group stocks had been bought up in only a matter of minutes. Starlight International only secured 28% of it, and she couldn't help but frown.

She slowly wrote the number "15" with her pen on a piece of paper.

"Mr. Olson, I've already paid back your concern for me last time."

Kendal was quiet for a while, then said, "…I… trusted Lance too much…"

Maybe he also trusted Keira too much?

"Who you trust has nothing to do with me. The only thing we can talk about now is interests!"

As Chloe spoke, she kept tracing the "15" she had just written.

Kendal was silent for a long time, as if he was considering something, then heaved a sigh and asked, "How much do you want?"

As soon as he said this, Kendal quickly added, "Chloe, please… be lenient with the Olson family…"

Chloe's eyes turned cold, and she slowly added another stroke to the "15" on the paper.

"Eighteen percent."

The office fell silent. Chloe looked at the number on the paper and put down the pen in her hand.

Mercy? Did Lance ever show her mercy?

She once gave him her all, and what did she get in return?

While she was busy working for the Olson Group, he was secretly dating Keira. How was she supposed to deal with that?

Now they were asking her to show them mercy. Wasn't that a big joke?

Chloe calmly said, "Take your time to think it over. I'm not in a hurry. I can also sell the stocks I just bought back. Even if I lose money, I don't mind…"

"I'm willing to give you 18% of the shares."

There was no emotion on Chloe's face.

"Can't we be friends anymore?"

"It would be better if we’re not. Take care."

As Chloe was about to hang up, Kendal called her back.
