Chapter 405

Chapter 405 At first glance, it seemed like a good project. However, after Sean did some digging and found out that it was not.

Now a mere two billion dollars was not enough for the Newman Group, which was at a critical juncture, to pay for its losses.

Mr. Newman frowned and stared at the contract heavy–hearted.

‘If this project of ours is well developed, there may be a profit of as much as 10 billion dollars. Sean‘s current action is undoubtedly trying to take advantage of the situation.‘

Mr. Newman got angrier the more he thought about it. Then, he went straight to Ricky. At that time, Ricky was handling some matters in his office. Since Mr. Newman came to see Ricky personally, Ricky could not turn him away and asked someone to lead him to the guest room.

“Royce, I know what you are here for. But this is out of my hands,” Ricky said to Royce when he entered the room.

“Ricky, our family has always been friends. We can achieve a win–win situation if we work together on this project,” said Royce.

He was not here to negotiate. He was here for the collaboration again.

However, Ricky sighed and said, “You probably know that Mr. Anderson Sr had already handed over the Anderson Corporation to Sean, and he‘s making every decision. How about this? I‘ll talk to Sean about it.”

Ricky was a slippery fellow in the business field. He disagreed with Royce‘s request yet also saved him from humiliation. This was also not Royce‘s desired result.

“Okay. I‘m counting on you, Ricky,” said Royce. Although he was dissatisfied, he waited as Ricky said he would talk to Sean.

Sean did not show up, and Ricky did not really want to help the Newmans.

Looking at the situation, there was a possibility of overturning at any time when working with the Newman Group. Ricky did not dare to risk the Anderson Corporation. He called Sean‘s extension in front of Royce.

“I have made it clear to Sharon about the collaboration,” Sean said on the phone.

The phone was on loudspeaker, and Royce frowned when he heard it. He could not help but ask Sean directly. “Mr. Anderson, you want to take over this project yourself, but isn‘t the 2 billion dollars you offered too little?” Royce felt a fire in his heart when he mentioned the 2 billion dollars.

Sean‘s cold voice sounded from the phone, “The Newman Group is not in its best condition, so it‘s not valuable. Mr. Newman, you should know that 2 billion dollars are the market‘s highest offer. The other companies may not be able to offer one that high.’

Royce was well aware of the Newman Group‘s current situation.

He was now at the mercy of others. When he heard Sean‘s unsympathetic words, he felt agitated.

“Then, I‘ll think about it,” Royce said as he gritted his teeth. Royce had never thought of letting go of his project since the beginning. Sean was about to read Royce‘s intentions and guessed that Royce wanted to fight back. Sean said, “Up to you.

However, it may not be the same offer next time.” Sharon bit her lip when she heard the conversation between her father and Sean. She could not help but ask, “Mr. Anderson, can‘t we just have the chance to work with each other? This is clearly a win–

win situation.”

“I only thought about maximizing the Anderson Corporation‘s profit,” Sean responded coldly to Sharon At that moment, Sean was in his businessman mode 100%. He intended to monopolize the market with his unique investment vision and ruthless means. Sean‘s mindset had made Sharon feel scared.

People like him were terrifying. Tony was listening to their conversation and felt a little sympathetic to Sharon.

‘Boss‘s gentleness and kindness don‘t exist now. All of that is only meant for Dr. May...‘ Tony thought.

Chapter 408 As Alex pulled Sean‘s hand and asked, he already had the ball ready in his hand. Ben said, “To be fair, we will let Mommy be your teammate.”

Claudia covered her mouth and laughed. “Okay,” said Sean, and he laughed as well. Tony saw through the triplets‘ intention. He joined in with their plan and helped push Sean over.

The fine sand splashed as they all passed the ball around. Unknown birds were hovering in the blue sky, making a crisp and melodious chirping.

Ben was full of energy. He predicted where the ball would land, jumped up vigorously, and hit the ball that came from the opposite side into the air.

At that moment, Ben swiftly gave way and let Alex come up front. Alex jumped up from the ground and slammed his fists together to hit the ball that was about to fall again. He did it nimbly and steadily. Ben‘s movement was sharp and flexible, and he could quickly grasp the position where the ball fell. He was suitable for catching the ball. Alex had great strength and was ideal for serving. The bond between the brothers was fantastic. Last but not least, Claudia, the little maiden defending the back. The triplets were clear–headed and evenly divided their duties. It seemed that they could overcome any difficulties as long as they were united. Such unity should not be taken lightly. Molly was not enjoying most of it. She was responsible for catching, serving, and everything else.

Molly did that because she was worried that the kids might hit too hard and accidentally hit Sean. That would be a problem, so Molly tried to block the ball as much as possible.

At first, Molly could hit the ball back and forth, but her hand was sore after a while.

Even if the triplets were little kids, how could one person‘s stamina fight against three simultaneously? Molly‘s hands were red from all the hitting. Her skin was originally fair, but the red palms looked very dazzling in the sun at that moment. Sean pursed his lip and let it go. He then said, “I can catch it. You don‘t have to keep blocking the ball.”

The triplets just caught the ball and hugged it in their arms. Seeing how their mother protected Sean, they said, “Mommy, you have been too protective of Uncle Sean!” “That‘s right! How could Mommy do this?” Ben pouted with dissatisfaction. Yet, he was smiling.

“Uncle is handsome, but Mommy shouldn‘t be like a heroine saving a handsome man, right?” Claudia said with a smile.

Molly was thin–skinned, and the words made her face red. She did not know where to place her hands.

‘Why did I protect Sean so much? Was I trying to be a heroine? I was just doing what a doctor would normally do. But it seems that my kindness is not appreciated by him.‘ Molly thought.

Molly twitched the corners of her mouth, and her face was a little hot. She squinted her eyes and smiled. She said, “Okay, I won‘t do that anymore.” Sean loosened his pursed lips after hearing Molly say that. The triplets also continued to serve, and Sean caught the ball this time. Although it was inconvenient for him to move, his quick response was enough to deal with the triplets‘

attack. Soon, the tide had turned, and the two sides fought back and forth evenly.

After playing for a while, Molly realized that the triplets could not hurt him, so she gradually relaxed. Molly was in charge of the front, and Sean was at the back with the ball. He did not force it if he could not catch it, but he could hit it most of the time. In Molly‘s heart, she felt an indescribable sense of security. When the triplets had met their match, they did not freak out. Instead, they got even more heated up. They had a great time playing for the next few rounds. Tony stood alone at a side. He smiled and sighed.
