Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Chapter 347 Can I Hug You Upon Jarrod's instruction, Alec immediately got in touch with the manager of Hilpton. To his astonishment, the manager outright refused to see him.

So, Alec spent the entire night driving, trying every method imaginable except for breaking in, to secure a meeting.

Alec started by proposing to purchase the Hilpton at twice its current market value.

Yet, the manager was not interested, ridiculously stating the hotel was a family treasure handed down since his great-grandfather's time and so forth.

Alec was left scratching his head. How could the Hilpton turn into an

ancestral property when it was obviously a chain hotel operating globally? Completely nonsense! With no other options, Alec raised his offer to three times the value, catching the manager's attention but still getting turned down.

Reflecting on his extensive experience working with Jarrod, Alec sensed something odd about this transaction After all, Jarrod stood as one of the top ten magnates in Ardlens. The manager of Hilpton was playing out of Jarrod's league Yet, the manager dis missed the offer outright, even when the offer was raised to three times the value. It struck Alec as highly unusual. No normal businessmen would pass out the opportunity to make money. It

seemed like the manager was keeping secrets.

Left with no alternatives, Alec consulted Jarrod again, who responded with just two words after hearing the situation, "Five times!" Alec was stunned. Offering five times the price would mean operating at a loss for the next fifty years. What sort of agreement was this, practically throwing money away? Yet, Alec understood if he didn't seal the deal, Jarrod might go as far as to propose ten times the price.

Alec resorted to every strategy he knew, from charm to dogged determination.

In the end, the vast financial offer made the manager cave.

Gone were the mentions of family heirlooms. Although the manager claimed to agree reluctantly, his face betrayed his true feelings with a broad grin.

Clutching the acquisition contract he had fought so hard for, Alec felt the deal was anything but a lucrative one.

Before the break of dawn, Nicole awoke.

As Nicole gazed at the peaceful face next to her, she was overwhelmed by a feeling of complete satisfaction.

Her thoughts remained a mystery to outsiders. When she first exited Austin's life, people assumed she harbored strong negative feelings toward Austin.
