Chapter 20 Changing the Marriage Partner?
In a luxury private room of Tijour Tea Garden, which was outside Ronghua Garden.
When Bruce saw Allen and Megan, he was angry.
A pair of his daughters had almost lost their lives because of Frank Ye. Even if it was not Frank's fault,
the Ye Family was largely responsible.
However, Allen's words made Bruce hold his anger back.
"Brother Chu, Frank is no longer a member of the Ye Family. And Master Ye has passed away." There
was no sadness on Allen's face as he spoke.
Bruce was stunned and forced himself to say, "Will it be okay as you said?"
"I can understand your anger, Brother Chu." Allen's smile remained unchanged, "I can offer thirty
percent of Heylen Garden's shares as compensation."
"Is this true?" Bruce was stunned.
Heylen Garden, the upscale real estate which was being developed in Haidong City, whose value of
the entire project was worth around three billion dollars. And thirty percent of the shares was equal to
one billion dollars.
Bruce’s using one billion dollars to compensate was no longer just about sincerity.
Allen smiled slightly and reached out as he took out a document from the briefcase beside him and
placed it in front of Bruce.
It was The Equity Transfer Contract.
Bruce lifted his teacup to cover up his disposition.
Only after a while did Bruce put down his teacup and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Ye, what do you
want?"
He didn't believe that Allen just intended to use one billion dollars to make amends. Otherwise, the Ye
Family would have been consumed by him long ago.
Hearing Bruce addressing him as Brother Ye, Allen smiled, "Brother Chu, whether our next discussion
is successful or not, this share will be yours."
Bruce furrowed his eyebrows. A billion dollars of share swayed him. And Heylen Garden was even
more eye-catching. However, there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
"Brother Ye, if you have something to say, say it straightforwardly," Bruce suppressed the greed in his
heart and spoke straightforwardly.
Allen laughed, "Brother Chu, you are so straightforward. Then I won't beat around the bush. With a
month to go, the general election is about to start. We hope that the Chu Family can stand on the side
of Minister Powell."
Bruce felt that his heart was thumping.
The Chu Family was just a family dedicated to the business field, which was also considered to be
famous in Haidong. However, there were many business groups larger than the Chu Family. It turned
out that Allen wasn't trying to play up to the Chu Family, but his senior brother, Lawrence Chu.
As the governor of a province, Lawrence Chu had a lot of say over the change of government.
And the third son of Powell Family was very likely to go even further in the general election this time.
Once the third son of Powell Family went even further, the Chang Family could maintain its longevity
for another fifty years. And for this deal, Bruce felt that one billion dollars were not enough.
"Brother Chu, if you can convince your brother, Ye Family is willing to take out ten percent of the YES
Group's shares," Allen continued to offer something big.
Although YES Group was not ranked in the top ten within H Country, it was a group worth hundreds of
billions of dollars. And ten percent of the shares was equal to nearly twenty billion dollars.
Bruce forcibly endured the shock in his heart and looked at Megan on the side as he asked in a Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
seemingly unintentional manner, "Brother Ye, you're making such a big sacrifice. Are you that optimistic
about Powell Family?"
It was well known that the shares of YES Group controlled by the Ye Family was only just over 40
percent. And taking 10 percent off represented that the Ye Family might lose control of YES Group at
any time.
This ten percent of the shares was far more important than 20 billion dollars in cash, which, of course,
showed how sincere Allen was.
However, Bruce would never do this. If it were any other sensible family patriarch, they would not do so
as well. It would be good if the third son of Powell Family could smoothly ascend to power. Once he
failed, YES Group surely would get a new owner and the Ye Family would be ruined from then on.
They were betting with everything in the Ye Family.
No wonder that they did not even notify their family and friends about Master Ye's funeral. Allen and
Megan were playing for the time difference. As long as the matter was settled, even if the Ye Family
clan crowd knew about it, they could only hold back their anger and admit it.
“Megan does have good tactics!”
In Bruce’s opinion, whoever refused to take advantage of others would be deemed as an asshole.
Bruce instantly made a decision. After all, he only had to ask the Chu Family to support Powell Family.
Even if the third son of Powell Family couldn't go up, with his senior brother, who was the governor of
the province, no one would dare to underestimate the Chu Family. So why not?
"Then, it's settled," Bruce said with a smile and was about to put away the share transfer contract of
Heylen Garden.
"Slow down," Allen pressed Bruce's hand.
Bruce frowned, "Brother Ye, are you going back on your words?"
"No." Allen shook his head, "I haven't finished my conditions."
Bruce's face stiffened, "Go ahead."
"Brother Chu, we can't brazenly give you the shares of the Ye Family as well as the shares of Heylen
Garden. I'm sure Minister Chu doesn't want to be targeted by Supervision Department," Allen said
slowly.
"What do you mean?"
"Master Ye had a marriage contract with the ancestor of your family before he died," Allen smiled
gently.
Bruce frowned, "What do you mean by that, Brother Ye?"
"Of course, I am intending to form a family with you. If all of these shares are put under your beloved
daughter's name, nobody can say anything," Allen said.
Bruce felt that his heart was thumping, "Frank Ye?"
"No." Allen shook his head and tenderly hugged Megan beside him, "Sidney."
"But… " Bruce twitched his mouth, "Cecilia has gotten a certificate with Frank."
Megan was startled at the news and then smiled, "Brother Chu, you are overly worried. The certificate
can be reclaimed."
“As the saying goes, a woman’s heart is the most poisonous thing in the world.” Bruce muttered in his
heart as he thought, “The so-called reclaimed certificate is a divorce certificate instead.”
The dark look on Allen's face flickered away.
Bruce chanted. He had agreed with this proposal in his heart. However, he had forced Cecilia once.
Should he do it again? What's more, her daughter got a certificate with the senior brother earlier. And
after she got divorced, she married his junior brother instead. If this got out, Cecilia’s reputation would
be ruined.
"Brother Chu, what are you hesitating about?" Megan smiled elegantly. But her words were
incomparably malicious, "My Sidney is ten thousand times better than that dude. Didn't the Chu Family
originally disagree with Cecilia marrying that dude as well? You can simply let the words out that the
Chu Family didn't know that Frank Ye had been expelled from the Ye Family and let Cecilia marry the
wrong one. And it is not Frank but Sidney she should marry."
Without waiting for Bruce’s reply, Megan continued, "Brother Chu, if it is not good for you to speak up,
Ye Family can also do it on your behalf."
Hearing her words, Bruce smiled, "Then, it's up to the two of you."
Megan smiled elegantly once again. Allen and Bruce swore an oath with high-five, representing the
establishment of cooperation.
As for Frank Ye and Cecilia Chu, and even Sidney, in their eyes, they should just go according to their
arrangement.
They were merely insignificant pawns.
The atmosphere that followed was incomparably harmonious. Allen and Megan forgot about Frank Ye
who was waiting for them outside the ancestral shrine. And Bruce had forgotten what he had said three
hours ago.
He had said that he was Cecilia and Cindy’s eternal backer.
How ironic his words sounded now.
