Chapter 960: So evil

"... You want us to run the company even if you buy it? We'll keep it and retain a small share? On top of the buyout?"

Theo and even his father had read this clause a few times before raising the question. After all, they had to make sure, because this contract seemed too good to be true.

Was their unlucky streak finally over, and now they were being blessed?

"It's true, and it's the one topic I'd like to discuss with the two of you," Penny nodded. "I thought about it long and hard and decided to add this clause. Of course, it's still up to you if you agree with it. I would compromise or accept whatever conditions you wanted to add."

Conditions? How could the Millers have other conditions? They came here thinking they would accept the offer and sell their company for the price Penny told them last night. Penny probably knew that already and was saying this out of formality.

Even if it wasn't the case and Penny was just naturally generous, Penny was a businesswoman. She built Prime Group from scratch and was now the matriarch of the Pierson Family.

How dare they negotiate and risk offending this door of opportunity?

"Miss Penelope, ha ha... this is... this is something I didn't expect," Mister Miller laughed awkwardly. "To be honest with you, we came here because of the buyout. We didn't expect such added clauses."

"Well, like I said, if you don't like it, we can always proceed with the original plan."

Theo perked up. "That's not what my father is saying, Miss Penelope. All we're just saying is... this is... this is amazing! But we don't want to push our luck. So, we're a little confused. Why are you giving us so much?"

"So much?" Penny repeated innocently and shrugged. "I guess it does sound a little too much."

A few hundred million wasn't much for her? The Millers almost choked upon hearing her meaningful response, but then they remembered who her husband was. Zoren could buy ten more of the Miller's companies, and it wouldn't even dent his cash flows.

That man was earning millions with every second he breathed.

One could just imagine how many hundreds of millions went in and out of the Pierson Corporation every single day.

"If I may be blunt, why are you asking us to run the company?" Theo mustered up the courage to quell his curiosity. "It's true that we heard about the Bennet Family on our way here, so I was expecting that once this buyout is over, Atlas Bennet would take the helm."
