The Legendary Man

Chapter 510 Come Save Her

Sophia’s expression changed when she heard Quinten’s statement. “Mr. Xydias, although the Goldstein family can never hold a candle to The Untouchables, we still have a somewhat solid foundation. There’ll be a price for you to pay to even think of winning me over.

I may be only a woman, but I still have what it takes to stand my ground. Besides, if we, the Goldstein family, have our backs against the wall, I’m afraid not even you will be able to fend off our retaliation.”

Quinten’s countenance gradually darkened as he listened to Sophia’s claim. “Are you threatening me, Sophia?”

“Oh, no, I wouldn’t have the guts to pull something like that. I simply wish for an amicable relationship between us,” answered Sophia with a faint smile. “Over the years, Mr. Xydias, the Xydias family has been flourishing ever so steadily under your lead. Even so, you guys are teetering on the brink of falling off the chart of being a notable family. If you ask me, you still have a long way to go if your family is to truly be regarded as a prominent family.”

Sophia quickly added, “Considering that the ranking of all affluent families in Yaleview is going to start anew, the chance to shoot to prominence is up for grabs. The Goldstein family sees this as a golden opportunity, but at the same time, you, too, must share the same sentiment, don’t you? If you can find it in your generous heart to spare me, we can actually form an alliance. After all, the Zeller and Maxwell families are already exiled from Yaleview, but their positions have yet to be filled ever since. Wouldn’t it be good if the Xydias family could assume their roles instead?”

Silence ensued in the whole room.

Sophia reached into the briefcase at the side and fished out a set of documents she had prepared beforehand.

“Have a look. These businesses cover an array of different fields. They’ll be all yours if you agree.”

Quinten slipped into deep thoughts as he looked at those documents on the table.

A tinge of wicked glee flitted across Sophia’s eyes the moment she saw Quinten’s demeanor.

That would be logical, for each of the documents represented a business that was worth a few billion.

By putting them all together, it would bring the sum to a grand total of more than hundreds of billion.

Better still, those businesses offered to Quinten were merely the tip of the iceberg. In truth, Sophia and Lydia had eliminated them for being crude.

Yet, it was more than sufficient to have the head of a prominent family like Quinten be thunderstruck to the core.

Such was the difference between a family in clover and a so-called prominent family.

Sophia secretly let out a long sigh after gaining control of the situation.

Alas, just as she was about to open her mouth to impel Quinten into complying, the latter lifted a hand and pushed the documents worth hundreds of billion back to her.

“What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Xydias?”
