The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 159: Chapter 157: A Matter of Interests

The butler approached Shawn Lyle, who was reading the newspaper, and respectfully said, "Sir, Mr. Davis has arrived."

Shawn Lyle quickly took off his glasses and folded the newspaper just as Adrian Davies walked in.

"Hey! Brother."

Adrian walked over with a cheerful smile and opened his arms.

After the hug, the two sat opposite each other.

"How was today? Did you reach an agreement?" Shawn Lyle made him some tea, then gently placed the teacup in front of Adrian.

Adrian picked up the teacup, sipped twice, then laughed, "Brother, although I didn’t reach an agreement with Melody Harmony today, this good material is only available from me; they will come to me."

Hearing this, Shawn Lyle’s expression slightly darkened, yet he said nothing. He had clearly instructed Adrian to stop dealing with Melody Harmony and not to sell materials to them anymore, but Adrian’s words indicated he planned to continue the business!

"Why didn’t it work out?" It seemed like a casual question but was actually probing.

Adrian, being shrewd, chuckled, "They said the quantity is large and asked me to lower the price."

"Adrian, I, Lyle, regard you as a lifelong friend!"

Shawn Lyle’s face turned cold, playing an emotional card, but evidently, Adrian was not moved by this.

Even as lifelong friends, when it comes to business, it must be profitable.

"Brother, our decades-long relationship is naturally as close as friends can be. Why else would I give up a big client like Melody Harmony for you?"

This statement clarified the conditions. To Adrian, Melody Harmony was an invaluable client that couldn’t be easily given up; once they were let go, cooperation could not continue.

No one would engage in a losing business deal.

Adrian knew exactly what Shawn Lyle wanted — to trade ten percent of Lyle Corporation’s shares for Adrian cutting ties with Melody Harmony Group.

Though it was a strategy that harmed both the enemy and himself, on the surface, it was a profitable move.

"Alright."

Though it was a simple word, Adrian knew this meant Shawn Lyle had compromised, so he smiled all the more brightly.

"Brother, I am nothing but honest with you. Rest assured, Melody Harmony Group will not find such good material anywhere else."
