Although Xena has gotten many benefits from Ivan, such as branded bags and cosmetics but, the thing that made her ecstatic was this villa Ivan bought for her a few days ago.
This villa cost Ivan over fifty million and her name was written as the owner. This represented Ivan's true feelings for her and the property belonged to her. This made her hopeful of the future.
Right now, Ivan was asking her to sell the villa and this made her unhappy.
Xena's face darkened and she replied, "You just bought this villa for me several days ago and now you’re asking me to sell it at a cheap rate? You said previously that you will divert money from your company, not
sell this house!
Ivan immediately comforted her. "Xena, I'm thinking about our future here. Think about it, Fane is our stumbling block. Selena walked to where she is right now because o f Fane's assistance. Now, she's not only back in the Taylor family, the old master even said that he's going to set up a new company and appoint Selena as the personin-charge of this new company.
Ivan curled his hands into fists and continued to speak angrily. "Yesterday when we were having drinks, the old master said that he's going to invest three billion as the company's reserve funding and Selena is going to be in charge of everything. This company is almost the same as the current Taylor group!"
"So much money?" Xena frowned when she heard this. It seems that Old Master Taylor was appointing Selena to an important position.
"Yes, if this continues, I'm worried that Selena will fight for the Taylor family's properties with us in the future. After all, Cecilia has already gotten married and she is not talented in the business aspect.
Cecilia is not a competitor to me, however, Selena is different. Selena is a very capable person. I tried so hard to obtain control of all the Taylor family's properties and the old master actually wants to start a new company for Selena. If Selena's company does well in the future, her position in the Taylor family would definitely change!”
Ivan grew increasingly worried as he thought about it. He looked at Xena and said seriously. "Xena, the Taylor group belongs to us, the Taylors, and I want to inherit everything. Even if I can't inherit everything, I want to get at least 90% of it.
How can that go into Selena's hands? This time around, you have to help me with this!"
Xena thought about it and was still reluctant. She said with a frown on her face. “Ivan, I would like to help you but you've just purchased this villa. We will need to lower the price if we're going to sell it in such a hurry. If that's the case, wouldn't we lose money? Apart from that, since you’re already diverting money from the company, what difference would fifty million more, make? Why can't you just directly divert two hundred million?”
Ivan was speechless about what Xena said. "Old Master has already taken three billion out to start a branch company and let Selena do whatever she wants. This leaves me with not much money. Apart from that, the company still needs to operate. I wouldn't be easily discovered if I only divert one hundred and fifty million but I would be easily made out if I directly divert two hundred million from the company."
Xena was reluctant when she thought about how the villa was originally hers. She said with pursed lips, "But what does killing Fane have to do with you getting your inheritance?"
"Both are definitely related. Fane is currently considered a very noble and high positioned man. All Nine Great Gods of War sent him gifts when they knew that he’s getting married. Do you think that the other businessmen won't want to work with Selena after she has started a company? Many businessmen will try their best to work with Selena just to get into Fane's good books and to give Fane face!" Ivan immediately explained. "If that's the case, Selena's company will only get better and bigger. By then, the old master will get increasingly satisfied with her abilities. How much inheritance do you think we will get? However, if Fane dies, the others wouldn't give Selena such opportunities because of Fane. Apart from that, she might be dispirited because of his death. If she remarries somebody else, the Taylor family's properties would be ours!'
