Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 278

Ashley was somewhat surprised upon hearing Jaden. She hadn’t expected Jessica to take the bait so quickly.

Previously, when Ashley had heard that Jessica was planning to sell the Ramos Group’s shares secretly, Ashley arranged for Jaden to have someone from the Zenith Group approach Jessica for a deal. Ashley had thought the negotiation would take some time, but she hadn’t expected

progress so soon.

Ashley pondered, ‘It seems Jessica is very eager to sell the Ramos Group’s shares secretly. I bet she wants to cash in the Ramos family’s funds for herself and then run off with the money. Evan and Bertha definitely don’t know about this. If they find out that Jessica intends to embezzle the Ramos family’s assets, that would indeed be quite a spectacle.’

After a moment of thought, Ashley asked Jaden on the phone, “When will she sign the share transfer agreement?

Jaden replied, “It’s the end of the month now, right? We’ve scheduled the formal signing on the 10th of next month. I had the general manager of the Zenith Group approach Jessica, and right now, she doesn’t even suspect a thing. She has no idea that I’m the boss behind the Zenith Group and even less that you’re the major shareholder. Just wait until the day of the contract signing on the 10th. She will get what’s coming to her!

“By the way, should we bring Evan and Bertha along on the day of the contract signing? Let these two old fools see what their darling da has done. Just thinking about them getting furious makes me feel satisfied! Wait, you won’t go soft on them, would you?”

Ashley felt as if she was being insulted and retorted in a “Are you questioning me?” tone, saying, “Do you think I would?”

Jaden quickly responded, “Of course not! I’d like to think I know you w enough! Let’s plan more over these next few days!”

“Alright, sounds good,” she agreed.

After ending the call, Ashley was about to put her phone back in her pocket when she received messages from Laura and Miranda.

Laura sent: [Ashley, I just saw the news and was shocked. Did you restore the ancient painting? And you’re Rita?!]

Ashley replied sweetly: [I was asked to keep it a secret when the painting was just restored, so I couldn’t tell you right away.]

Laura was ecstatic as if she had just won a huge lottery jackpot. However, she was also somewhat baffled.
