Chapter 254 I Don't Believe You Can Do It!
At this moment, Sandra finally couldn't hold it in and burst out with a curse. "Fuck!"
Now, she understood.
It turned out that Ryder never intended to cooperate from the beginning; he had been deliberately messing with them!
What a horrible man!
Sandra's face darkened as she said, "Ryder, Sarah! I've been nice enough to you tonight. Listen to my advice and follow my proposal; it's beneficial for both sides. Otherwise, if things get ugly, it will only be bad for you!"
Sarah took a deep breath and said, "I've thought it through! I'm sorry, but I can't cooperate with you! If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving!"
"Are you daring?" Sandra shouted coldly again!
This time, the rest of the Johnson family in the private room stood up, glaring at Ryder and Sarah with unfriendly eyes!
Sandra took off her coat and threw it on the chair, revealing a palm-sized butterfly tattoo on her arm!
She looked very imposing.
Sandra walked up to Ryder and Sarah.
Her eyes flashed with anger. "At my dinner, you come and go as you please? It's not that easy."
Ryder responded calmly, "A dinner is just about coming hungry and leaving full. It's always been easy!"
"You!"
Sandra was taken aback, a trace of venom flashing in her eyes. "Fine! I've heard you're eloquent, and today, I've seen it for myself! But I've met many successful men, and they all have one thing in common: they talk less and do more! A man like you, who only knows how to talk, is just asking for a lesson!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sandra clapped her hands!
The private room door was pushed open!
More than a dozen strong men in black rushed in from outside, looking very much like bodyguards.
They all looked fierce and surrounded Ryder and Sarah!
Sarah was scared and instinctively hide behind Ryder!
Ryder squinted slightly and asked Sandra, "Are you planning to force us to comply with violence? Honestly, this method is a bit outdated!"
Sandra sneered. "Still have the guts to talk back at this point! Don't worry; for a small fry like you, using violence is a waste! As for how to deal with you, that depends on Mr. Brooks' opinion!"
As she finished speaking, a pot-bellied man walked in from outside, a cold smile on his face!
It was Roy, the president of Phoenix Real Estate!
Behind Roy were a few others, all dressed in flashy clothes, looking very high and mighty!
Seeing them, the rest of the Johnson family were surprised and widened their eyes.
"The one on Mr. Brooks' left is Alvin Williams, the general manager of Joyful Shipping Company, worth forty million dollars!"
"And there's Elbert Perry, the chairman of Harmony Group. I heard his company is about to go public!"
"Look! Even Alan Bishop, the president of RW Group, is here, a billionaire!"
"All bigwigs!"
The appearance of these people not only shocked the Johnson family but also caught Sarah off guard!
Elbert, Alvin, Alan, and others were very influential business figures in Houston.
The key point was that the companies these people ran were all related to the building materials market!
Back when Sarah took over the Johnson family branch, she knew of their reputations and had even visited them for business development!
But in the end, Sarah was rejected!
After all, they were notoriously picky and demanding in the business world, and not just anyone could collaborate with them!
But now, they came here, even with Roy!
It was clear that Sandra had arranged these bigwigs!
After Roy made his entrance, he walked over and opened his arms, hugging Sandra!
He said softly, "Sandra, sorry that you have go through this!"
Sandra sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do! After all, Sarah, Ryder, and I are family. Some things I just can't be ruthless about. It's a pity they still don't understand my good intentions!"
Roy patted Sandra on the shoulder to comfort her and said, "Just sit back and watch; leave the rest to me!"
“Okay,” Sandra responded softly and sat down.
She quietly watched Roy deal with them!
Roy turned around and stared coldly at Sarah. "Are you the president of SR Group, Sarah?"
Sarah nodded. "Yes!"
Roy snapped his fingers, and a slender female secretary walked in from the crowd, respectfully handing over a stack of documents.
Roy casually placed the documents on the table.
In a commanding tone, he ordered Sarah, "Go over there and sign this contract!"
Sarah took a step forward and briefly skimmed through the document!
Her expression gradually became serious!
The contract was mainly about asking Sarah to hand over SR Group to the Johnson family. She would receive compensation, but the amount was only six hundred thousand dollars!
After that, Sarah would have no authority to intervene in any matters of SR Group!
"I won't sign it!" Sarah refused coldly, throwing the contract on the table.
The terms of this contract were simply insulting to her!
"You won't?"
Roy sneered. "You, a mere president of SR Group, are not qualified to defy my orders. Do you really think that just because you're the president of a group in Houston, you can look down on everyone?"
At this moment, Sandra mocked, "It’s not my fault. I advised you earlier, offering you forty-one million dollars in compensation, but Ryder disagreed! Now, it's down to six hundred thousand dollars! If you still say no, you might not even get sixty thousand dollars!"
Hearing this, Sarah clenched her fists and firmly replied, "I'll say it again. I won't sign this contract. I just want to run the company well!"
"Naive!"
Roy scoffed. "Do you even know who you're talking to? Do you think that with us joining forces with the Johnson family, SR Group will still have a place in Houston's building materials market? Whether it's a price war, resource war, or talent war, you're far from being a match. To put it bluntly, SR Group is just a company worth over a billion dollars. With my methods, I can devalue SR Group to six hundred thousand dollars or even turn it into a company with negative assets in one night."
Elbert, Alvin, and Alan confidently echoed, "Mr. Brooks is right. Mr. Brooks doesn't even need to lift a finger to deal with a small SR Group. Giving you some face really made you think you're something!"
Sarah bit her lip.
She wanted to retort but didn't know what to say!
Although their words were somewhat exaggerated, with their combined strength and the Johnson family, they could indeed bring down SR Group in a short time!
What should she do?
Was surrender the only option?
At this moment, Sarah saw Ryder take a step forward.
With an kind smile, Ryder said to Roy, "I don't believe you can do it. Want to bet?"
