Before Reina could reply to the message, the phone rang again. It was not a text message but a phone call. After hesitating for a while, she answered the call.
“Reina, have you made your decision?” Jasper's voice sounded from the other end of the line. Madelyn had to be beside him because her voice could also be heard clearly. “Didn't you say you wanted to save Donald? Then give us half of Scarlet Swan Villa's equity. Otherwise, Jasper will end Donald's life!”
Moments later, she added, “Don't you like him? Can't you even do this for him?”
“Jasper, don't cross the line.” Reina's voice was cold.
The man instantly burst into laughter. “He slapped my woman, and the whole incident was recorded by the surveillance camera. Even if you ask the officials for help, we're the victims. Don't force me to involve my father in this. Otherwise...”
Letting out a long sigh, Reina piped up,
“50% is too much.” “I'm not calling to negotiate with you. If you agree to give me 50% of the shares, bring the equity transfer agreement to room 1102 at Lunar Hotel at eleven o'clock tonight. If you disagree, I'll make sure Donald Campbell bites the dust tomorrow morning.” After saying that, Jasper hung up.
Scarlet Swan Villa had not been listed and would not be listed in the near future, which meant that it was Reina's personal property.
Even if Pollerton Real Estate went bankrupt, she would be fine as long as she still owned Scarlet Swan Villa.
However, Jasper was now asking her to give him half of the equity.
The villa was the result of her hard work over the years.
No one knew how much time and money she had invested into turning Scarlet Swan Villa from a swamp to a wetland park. Not to mention a slew of official swan-breeding-and-sale procedures.
Slumping onto the chair, she closed her eyes, and her expression turned gloomy.
It was the first time she felt so lonely and helpless.
After some deliberation, she called Emma Dolezal.
Emma was the first person who invested in Reina. She was a Pollertonian and owned around three hundred properties in the city. All she did was collect rent.
