All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 406 Jokes

Faced with Catherine’s resolute refusal, Sean couldn’t help feeling a bit frustrated. A project worth 100 million dollars, with a ten percent commission, meant a cool ten million dollars in his pocket.

He couldn’t help but feel like he had let a golden opportunity slip through his fingers. Ten million dollars was a big number, but Sean was no ordinary businessman. He ran the black market, and in this business, if you weren’t a bit ruthless, you wouldn’t last long.

It was all about mutual consent, and he believed it wouldn’t hurt anyone. After giving it some thought, he decided to consult Ronin.

Ronin was often by Catherine’s side and knew her better than anyone else in their circle. He might hold some valuable information or provide insights into her decision. Sean gave Ronin a call, briefly explaining the situation.

On the other end of the line, Ronin’s response was curt. “Thirty-seventy.”

Sean felt a pang of regret. He had forgotten that Ronin wasn’t just a follower of Catherine but also her trusted financial advisor.

Ronin had a reputation for being shrewd when it came to money, and his blade was sharper than Sean’s in the realm of finance.

Sean was desperate. He would need to pay a high price to extract information from him. After some contemplation, Sean clenched his teeth and replied, “You get three, I get seven.”

Ronin hadn’t originally planned to aim for a big profit. After all, the business belonged to Sean, and he was just providing some assistance. Taking too much would be unethical.

“Sean, don’t tell me you’ve become blinded by the allure of money. How can you not see the bigger picture?

“Catherine refuses to accept it. What’s the use of trying to convince her? You should be trying to persuade the other side. If she didn’t accept 100 million dollars, wouldn’t she accept a billion dollars?”

the stakes tenfold. Under any other circumstances, it would be a no-brainer. But with Catherine, nothing was certain.
