When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 299

“That's right! Hayes Corporation could have turned the tide and maybe even gained a billion! Whydid Sebastian veto that? I wonder what his motive is?”

It was a quiet afternoon, and a few minor shareholders were gathered in the garden of a villa,discussing Sebastian's decision.

"Don't say that! Mr. Hayes must have his own reasons for making that decision,” Patrick chided. Hewas the villa owner and had a bigger shareholding compared to the rest.

"Why? Don't forget he is not quite right up there, Mr. Young. Who knows what he is up to?” One ofthe aggrieved men retorted, pointing to his head to indicate Sebastian's rumored mental problem.Patrick's face fell, and he warned, “Mind your words! Don't go around spreading unverified rumors!”Although he defended Sebastian, he was actually a two-faced, cunning man

It would not be easy to oust the president in a direct confrontation, so he used other underhandedmeans to achieve his aim.

After the other men left, Patrick went back to his study, and his secretary followed closely.

When they were alone, the secretary couldn't help but ask, “Mr. Young, will the new successor ofHayes Corporation really give us what we want if we managed to oust Sebastian?”

"Of course! Otherwise, he can kiss Hayes Corporation goodbye!” Patrick laughed confidently as hehappily picked up his golf bag and headed out.

Meanwhile, over at Wall Street in Moranta, Sasha was in distress.

She had only closed one contract worth a few hundred thousand that day, and that was to beexecuted six months later. At the rate she was going, she would be in financial trouble soon.

Sasha was in a sullen mood when she got back to her temporary accommodation, a place thatbelonged to Solomon's friend.

Lance had left her alone and kept to himself for the past few days. It was only when he realized shehad no plans to leave the place that he approached her for a discussion.

“Sha, shall we move out?”

“Huh? Move? Where to?” Sasha asked him in return.

“It may not be nice for us to stay here when Solomon is not in. Since we have no plans to leaveMoranta soon, it would be better to replace our own place. What do you think?” Lance reasoned.

"Oh, you are right! It slipped my mind. Sure! Could you help look around for it?” Sasha agreed.“Okay.” He immediately turned to leave.

Sasha was preoccupied with her own thoughts, so it took her a while to realize her mistake. Lancewas not familiar with the place and the language there. She should not have given him the task oflooking for their accommodation.

About an hour later, her cousin came back with the good news that he had found them anapartment.

"How did you manage that? I thought you couldn't speak the language here?” Sasha asked indisbelief.

Lance's expression changed briefly. “I... Erm... we communicated in writing since I could read,” hestammered.

I see!

Sasha accepted his explanation, and they moved into the apartment immediately.

Solomon heard about that in the evening. He called to ask her about it, followed by an explanationthat he went away for just a couple of days to settle some matters in Clear, but he would be backsoon.

Sasha did not want him to feel bad, so she made up an excuse. “I found a place closer to Wall Street.Since I am working with Mr. Rind now, that would be a more convenient location for me.”

"Oh, alright then. By the way, I heard you're working with him on the Jetroina project. Is it true thathe hasn't been giving you many lucrative leads after assigning you to handle some futurescontracts?” Solomon asked.

Feeling aggrieved about that, so she took the opportunity to grouch, “It's true! I think he is not toohappy with my stand and doesn't trust me yet.”

“Your stand about making money the legal way?”

"Yes. Those who went with me were earning millions after being allocated the hottest financingprojects!” she complained in frustration.

It was indeed easier and faster to earn big money in investment banking.

On the other end of the phone, as Solomon was talking to Sasha, he was flipping through the file onthe Jetroina project. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he suggested, “How about you contact the personin charge of the Jetroina project directly?”

"What? Contact him directly?”

"Yes. The lead might have come from Andy, but if you close the deal and share your earnings withhim, I am sure he would not object to it. What do you think about that?"

His proposal for her to bypass her boss and negotiate with Sky Precision directly was tempting.Just then, Lance came in with a bowl of dessert for Sasha. She ended her call with Solomon andcasually sought her cousin's opinion. “Lennie, Solomon said we should bypass Mr. Rind andnegotiate with Sky Precision directly. What do you think?”

“No way! That is inappropriate.”
