Chapter 1116 It was unexpected that Gabriel's plan would fail.
"Additionally, his secretary has been detained by the police. It looks like they'll both be facing jail time," Spencer reported.

Just as Spencer was about to leave, the door to Damon's office swung open.
Pedro walked in, his face clouded with anger. "Mr. Sumner, it's been a while." Damon raised an eyebrow and offered a polite smile. "Mr. Wilkie, it has indeed. What brings you here today?" Pedro let out a cold laugh. "I heard that my useless granddaughter sold 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares to you for a mere 7,000,000 dollars without even knowing their actual value. I'm here about that." "Mr. Wilkie, please take a seat. We can discuss this," Damon said, gesturing toward the chair opposite him. Pedro sat down, his tone stern. "Mr. Sumner, I don't plan to take advantage of you. My granddaughter sold the shares to you for 7,000,000 dollars, so I'm offering you another 1,000,000 dollars to buy them back for 8,000,000 dollars. What do you think?" A quick turnaround like this-just two days-and Damon could pocket a free 1,000,000 dollars. If he had any sense, he'd agree to such a deal.
Damon narrowed his eyes and glanced at Spencer. "Go make scoffee for Mr. Wilkie-the top-quality one." Spencer nodded and quietly left the office.
Once the door closed, Damon looked at Pedro and spoke calmly. "Mr. Wilkie, the price was agreed upon at the time. The transaction has been finalized. It wouldn't be appropriate to undo it now, don't you think?" Pedro's expression darkened. "Mr.
Sumner, everyone knows that 7,000,000 dollars is nowhere near the value of 10% of the Wilkie Group. You deliberately undercut her. My granddaughter might be naïve, but you took advantage of her ignorance." или "Mr. Wilkie, I think you're being unfair here. Ms. Wilkie willingly soldthe shares for that price, which means. she found the offer acceptable. Rather than blaming me, perhaps you should reflect on why she chose to sell them toinstead of to her own family," Damon countered.

the shares to me. If you want to buy them back, we can discuss the om market price. If you're unwilling to do so then I remain a shareholder of the Wilkie Group," Damon said calmly. "Rest assured. Now that I'm a shareholder, I'll fulfill the responsibilities that cwith the position," Damon added.
Pedro nearly choked on his anger.
Responsibilities as a shareholder? It was obvious Damon intended ton seize a bigger piede of the Wilkie Group or even swallow the entire company.
Regret surged through Pedro. If he had known Jane was going to sell the shares for just 7,000,000 dollars, he forį would have bought them from her himself. "Mr. Sumner, let's cut to the chase. What will it take for you to give those shares back?" he asked.
