Chapter 115 The Night Before the Storm
After dealing with Jovan, William immediately asked Sharon to bring three acquisition agreements to Antony for the transfer of shares. He wanted Antony to handle the procedure as soon as possible, transferring the shares to the Power Group first to some extent, which would help avoid potential retaliation from the Ashford family.
However, the Ashford family might not easily give up these three prime assets. Antony would have to put some thought into it, but William had confidence in him.
Satiating their appetites, William continued to accompany Sophia and Kylie on a shopping spree along Mandro Street. With his nine-star VIP card, he provided them with the ultimate shopping experience.
"William, I never expected you to be a supreme member here. It's really surprising," Kylie said, holding a Chanel bag in her hands. She had already inquired and knew that the nine-star VIP card could offer at least a 50% discount.
Getting a big international brand at half price was truly a great deal. Unfortunately, it was limited to one item; otherwise, she might have bought the entire Chanel store.
"This card belongs to my boss. If you want something, buy it now!" William casually brushed it off with an excuse.
"In that case, we won't hold back!" Sophia was also thrilled. It had been a long time since she indulged in a crazy shopping spree.
Soon, the two of them, accompanied by William, began their shopping spree on Mandro Street. Luxury and designer brands piled up. It was too much for them to carry, so they handed everything over to William.
And he completely turned into a mobile suitcase. To thank William for his supreme card, the two of them even specially bought luxurious items for William as a token of appreciation. This unexpected gesture surprised him a little.
It was very late when they finally got tired of shopping and returned home.
Meanwhile, Jovan, who had rushed back home in a sorry state, was currently enduring his father's stern lecture and scolding. In the evening, he received the Power Group's acquisition agreement to handle the transfer of shares for the Cloud Resort, Mercure Hotel, and BD Plaza assets.
Although these assets were registered under Jovan's name, the actual management teams all reported to Jovan's father, George.
In such a significant matter of share transfer, the management teams of these companies naturally reported to George as soon as they heard of it. Upon learning about this, George was so angry that he didn't even hold a meeting. Instead, he directly summoned Jovan to reprimand him.
"I've been working so hard, and yet you squander it all. Do you want to squander the wealth accumulated by three generations of the Ashford family?" George was so angry that he couldn't even eat.
"Tell me specifically how you managed to lose these three assets to someone else." George was unwilling to accept this, and he couldn't resign himself to it. If these high-quality assets weren't retrieved, George estimated that he wouldn't be able to survive in New York.
Jovan didn't dare to deceive his father and explained the events that took place on Mandro Street to George.
"Are you saying that your uncle was suddenly suspended and investigated?" George frowned upon hearing this; this was certainly not good news.
"Yes, and it seems like this person knew that my uncle would be suspended and investigated before placing a bet with me. It was all planned to trap me." Jovan shared the details with George.
"This person seems extraordinary!" George paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, contemplating how to wrestle these three assets from the Power Group.
However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a good solution. With their current strength, challenging the Power Group head-on would be nothing short of suicide.
"It seems like we have to make a move through William. I just don't know how much Antony values this person." George's eyes emitted a chilling gaze; they could only outwit the situation.
"Dad, should we find Louis from the West district? He has many subordinates, maybe we can secretly capture William and then make Antony compromise. Is this plan feasible?" Jovan was familiar with Louis, who operated in the West district, and had even paid him to do things efficiently and discreetly.
"He is definitely the top choice for doing such shady things."
"Well, it depends on how much Antony values this person. After all, he is just an employee! If Antony doesn't think highly of him, kidnapping him wouldn't be of much use," George frowned and said, "It would be best to find a way to test how much Antony values this poor man William, so that we can plan accordingly."
George and his son Jovan fell into deep thought for a moment, but soon a sudden voice interrupted their thoughts.
"I have a way to test how much Antony values William." With the appearance of the voice, an extremely enchanting beauty in a red dress walked out of the bedroom. She looked to be in her thirties and exuded a mature woman's charm.
Nina was George's younger sister and Jovan's aunt. Although she was a woman, she played a significant role in the Ashford family's position in New York. It could be said that without her, the family wouldn't have the reputation it does today.
"Nina, what's your plan? Tell us!" Seeing Nina, George finally remembered their scheme. Nina was the most skilled in such matters, and with her help, they could recover the three assets in no time.
"However, I need a photo of William. I also need to know what kind of clothes he usually wears," Nina said calmly.
"He usually wears a white T-shirt, which obviously looks cheap. As for the photo, I have a solution. He was at the dessert shop on Mandro Street today, and there are surveillance cameras there. We just need to pay some money to get the footage of this person," Jovan thought for a moment and said. He was clever enough to react promptly.
"Great, go and take care of it quickly!" Nina nodded. Jovan was quick-witted at this critical moment.
Then she turned to George and said, "Brother, isn't Antony eager to finalize the share transfer agreement? Tell him that he must come to your meeting room in person for negotiations, and only then will you agree to proceed with the share transfer process."
"Alright, I'll make the appointment with him right away," George nodded and then asked curiously, "What's next? What do I need to do?"
"Just make sure to schedule the meeting for the day after tomorrow, otherwise my plan may not work. And on the day of the meeting, bring me along too." A cold glint flashed in Nina's eyes.
"No problem. We will proceed according to your plan." George had confidence in his sister. The Ashford family's current position was all because of Nina's planning.
