Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 527

"Alright, Mr. Ricardo, could you briefly outline the details of our agreement? I need to discuss it with Blake later on."

"I want Julian gone, completely." Ricardo's tone left no room for negotiation.

Sophie lifted her glass of red wine from the table and said, "Mr. Ricardo, Julian is our next big project. Wanting him gone is quite the ask, isn't it?"

There was a hint of arrogance in Ricardo's steady voice. "Everything has its price. Just name it, and I can afford it."

Given the Cloude family's reputation, affording a certain price wasn't the issue-it was no empty boast.

Sophie responded, "As a businessman, you should know that some things and people can't be measured in terms of money. We've invested a lot in Julian, and the returns he could bring are immeasurable. If I were to say a hundred billion, would you be willing to spend most of your fortune on this?"

Hearing this, Ricardo frowned. Spending most of his fortune to get rid of Julian was indeed out of the question.

"Even in business, Ms. Sophie, you should consider how much the person in your hand is really worth. Julian isn't worth that price." Ricardo said coldly. "You should be aware of the Cloude family's methods. I have the capability to dominate for a reason. If we can't reach an agreement this time, I will make sure Julian never rises to fame. I will use every means at my disposal to bring him down, and S Corporation won't just fail to profit but will invite a whole lot of trouble."
