The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 985

Chapter 985 

Jaydon and Cassius were still engaged in intense negotiations. 

Cassius said, “Now that you’ve heard Grace’s voice, you can feel relieved. 

“Hurry up and give me the evidence. I’ll get someone to let her go immediately.” 

Jaydon took a deep breath and said, “No. I want you to release Grace first. 

“As long as you release Grace, I’ll definitely give it to you.” 

When Cassius heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t test my patience anymore. There’s a limit to my patience. 

“I’ve said it before. As long as you hand over the evidence, I’ll definitely let her go.” 

“I’m not testing your patience,” Jaydon said. “I’m trying to safeguard my interests. What if I give you the evidence and you go back on your word? “There are so many assets. I don’t think that you will readily give them to me. I need to see the money first before considering giving you the evidence.” Jaydon could only suppress his anger and constantly emphasize his interests. 

Cassius rolled his eyes. He replied angrily and helplessly, “I said I won’t go back on my word. That means I won’t go back on my word.” 

“Verbal promises are not trustworthy,” Jaydon said. “How can I then believe you based on what you said? You need to take some concrete actions so that I can see your sincerity.” 

Cassius was left speechless. Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth. He really wanted to crush Jaydon into ashes right then and there. 

“What do you want then?” Cassius said. 

“Release Grace first,” Jaydon said. “Then, hold a press conference to announce that I’m the new director of Millego Group. After that, transfer the 10 billion dollars worth of assets to my name. I’ll then give you the evidence.” 

Cassius tried his best to suppress his anger. He said, “Haha. What if I fulfill your demands, and then you go back on your word?” 

“I won’t,” Jaydon said. “As long as you agree to my demands, I’ll give you the evidence. Like you said, we can only be full if a cake is eaten by two people.

“I just want to get what I want, and I don’t care about others.” Jaydon was trying to strategically make a temporary concession in order to gain greater advantages. He was trying his best to deal with Cassius. 

Now, the two of them were engaged in an intense psychological game. The first person that compromised would be considered the loser. 

Of course, Jaydon would not let Cassius off. 

Cassius had caused the deaths of their father and aunt. He had also acted ruthlessly against his other siblings and forced them into desperate situations. 

Jaydon certainly wanted to seek revenge for them. 

Seeing that Jaydon was determined, Cassius could only make a compromise. “How about this?” he said. “Let’s both make a compromise. “As you know, transferring a large amount of funds and changing the ownership of a company take time. 

“I can hold a press conference first and publicly announce that you’re a director of Millego Group. In addition, I’ll provide you with a promissory note of 10 billion dollars, and I’ll get a lawyer to notarize it. This way, you’ll be able to trust me, right?” 

Cassius’s patience had reached its limit. 

At the moment, he only wanted to get the evidence back as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also be imprisoned. 

Although neither Venturas nor Greyport imposed the death penalty, he still had to suffer life imprisonment. 

He had worked so hard to stand at the top of the pyramid. He would never let anyone shake his position. 

“Okay, but you have to release Grace first,” Jaydon said. He still insisted and refused to back down. 

His only concern now was his sister. 

As long as his sister was safe, he would immediately hand over the evidence of Cassius’s crimes to the police. 

The folder given to him by Yasmine contained all the incriminating evidence of Cassius’s crimes, as well as Tim’s handwritten will. 

Each piece of evidence was powerful enough to severely damage Cassius’s reputation and lead to his downfall.

Cassius was very angry, so much so that he felt his lungs were about to explode. He lost control of his emotions and could not help but become hysterical. He said, “Give me the evidence first, and I’ll release Grace immediately. 

“Jaydon, I’ve run out of patience. Either give it to me immediately, or we’ll both go down in flames. 

“I’m the chairman of Grimm Group now. If you push me too far, you can forget about getting any money. 

“I’ll donate all Grimm Group’s assets to the National Foundation before I go to prison. At that time, you won’t get a single cent…” 

Jaydon sneered and said, “Up to you then. 

“Since you said so, there’s no need for us to continue this conversation.” He was certain that Cassius would never do that. 

“Jaydon, do you really want to push me to go down in flames?” Cassius said. “Would you believe me if I were to tell you that I could kill your sister right now? Think carefully. She’s your only biological sister.” 

“I don’t want to go down the flames with you,” Jaydon said. “Win-win cooperation is the way to go. 

“I have no other requests. I just want you to release Grace first. Then, just give me what I want, and that’s all. It’s you who have been unwilling to compromise.” 

After venting his emotions, Cassius’s rationality took over again. He said, “Jaydon, I’ve already compromised this much. Don’t push your luck. 

“I promise you. As long as I get the evidence, Grace will definitely be safe. The money you want will be transferred to your account in full without any deduction.” 

Currently, Grace was his only bargaining chip. 

If Jaydon went back on his word, Cassius would be in big trouble. Therefore, until he got the evidence, he would never release Grace. 

Jaydon knew that Cassius would not release Grace unless he received the evidence. Jaydon was just trying to stall for time. “Cassius, I won’t give it to you until Grace returns,” he said. 

“If that’s what you are saying, there’s no room for negotiation then, right?” Cassius said. His voice suddenly turned sharp. There was a sense of aggression and hostility. 

10:37 

Jaydon lowered his head and looked at his watch. His heart was racing. 

He kept praying silently in his heart, hoping that Bruce would be able to locate his sister in time and save her. 

All he could do now was to buy time as much as possible. 

“It seems that if I don’t get serious with you, you will think I’m a pushover,” Cassius said. “Jaydon, don’t regret it, okay?”
