Chapter 267 The Conspiracy Against Maple Real Estate!
Upon seeing the figure before her, Sarah widened her eyes in shock!
She was too familiar with this man!
He was her senior who had once pursued her in all ways!
Besides, he had once driven drunk and hit Ava, then fled the scene!
Later, he did countless disgusting things to her and Ryder!
It was Sam!
He used to be quite handsome.
But now, compared to before, Sam's cheeks were much thinner with his skin darker and his eye sockets deeply sunken!
Sam looked like he had fallen on hard times, but Sarah could clearly feel that he had become much more dangerous than before!
Sam swaggered over and sat on the sofa.
He crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and looked at Sarah, saying calmly, "Don't look so surprised. From the day the Smith family collapsed, I secretly vowed to take back everything I had lost! So, this is bound to happen!"
As he spoke, he patted the sofa beneath him and sighed. "I remember the last time I sat here. This office belonged to my father. Now, everything has changed."
At this moment, Sarah grabbed her phone and said warily, "Sam, last time you hired someone to set fire to my warehouse and attempted murder. The police are already aware and are pursuing you from all sides! But you just show up here brazenly. Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"
"Call the police?" Sam chuckled and exchanged glances with Paul and the others beside him.
Then they all burst into laughter!
"She actually thinks of calling the police. How amusing!"
"This is so hilarious. Sarah doesn't even understand her situation. How did she come to control SR Group?"
Sarah didn't understand what they meant!
Sam exhaled a smoke ring and said with a grin, "You must be very curious why you can't reach Ryder, right?"
Sarah's pupils dilated. "What do you mean?"
"Take a guess." A wicked smile appeared on Sam's lips!
Sarah immediately understood, feeling as if a bomb had exploded in her mind!
If she hadn't quickly grabbed the table, she might have fallen to the ground!
Sarah asked anxiously, "What have you done to Ryder?"
With a cold expression, Sam replied, "Personally, I'd love to tear him to pieces. But for the bigger picture, I have to put that thought aside for now, so he's temporarily safe! Of course, if you act recklessly, leak this matter, or call the police on me, I can't guarantee Ryder's safety!"
Hearing this, Sarah bit her lip and questioned, "What do you want? SR Group?"
If giving up SR Group could ensure Ryder's safety, Sarah would agree without hesitation!
However, Sam shook his head. "SR Group is hardly a bargaining chip. Given SR Group's current situation, even if I didn't come today, with the Johnson family and Phoenix Real Estate's combined attack, it wouldn't last a few days!"
"Then what exactly do you want?" Sarah was puzzled.
In her view, the most valuable thing she had was SR Group!
She couldn't think of anything else they might want.
At this moment, Sam snapped his fingers!
Paul, standing beside him, took a stack of documents from his bag and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa! "You'll know after reading this!"
Sarah quickly stepped forward and swiftly browsed through the stack of documents.
As she read, her face gradually turned pale!
"You guys are going too far!" Sarah glared at Sam and the others!
The content of the documents was roughly like this. During this period, Maple Real Estate and SR Group had been in a cooperative relationship, from bidding on investments to subsequent material support, with a total transaction amount of close to 200 million dollars!
As long as the SR Group unilaterally reported and acknowledged Maple Real Estate's investment was actually intended for money laundering and other illicit activities, including tax evasion, coercion, and bribery.
Such a large amount of funds would definitely devastate Maple Real Estate's reputation and even attract an investigation from the authorities!
At that time, even if Maple Real Estate was the number one real estate company in Houston, even if Maple Group backed Maple Real Estate, there would be no way out!
Moreover, given that Maple Real Estate was currently under attack from public opinion and news, it was bound to collapse and go bankrupt!
In fact, from the beginning, these people never took SR Group seriously!
Their core objective was to target Maple Real Estate!
At this moment, Paul said indifferently, "Sarah, how can you accuse us of going too far? When you teamed up with Maple Real Estate to harm us, why didn't you think it was out of the line? If you don't care about Ryder's life, it doesn't matter. Then you don't have to sign this document!"
Sarah stood there, at a loss for what to do!
Maple Real Estate and SR Group had always been good partners!
They had saved SR Group countless times!
Moreover, the president of Maple Real Estate was Ryder's good classmate and friend!
Sarah really couldn't betray Maple Real Estate and speak against her conscience!
But if she didn't do it, Ryder's life would be in danger! What should she do?
At this moment, Sam stood up and stretched, saying, "Sarah, don't rush. You can take your time to think! Just let me know your decision within three days! Of course, if you are not convinced and want to use SR Group's strength to continue fighting for a chance, that's fine! But I must remind you. In these three days, you are not allowed to leak this matter to anyone, nor can you contact anyone from Maple Real Estate; otherwise, I guarantee that Ryder will die miserably!"
After saying that, Sam put on a mask and sunglasses and left the office with Paul and the others.
In a cabin in Houston.
"You said there's eighty thousand dollars dollars in this card? You're not lying to me?" Sawyer stared greedily at Barbara and asked!
Barbara nodded repeatedly, "Absolutely! If you don't believe me, you can go to the bank and check! I've already told you the password!"
There was no other way. If she didn't disclose the eighty thousand dollars, Sawyer would definitely disfigure her!
Sawyer stood up and put the platinum card in his pocket. "Alright! I'll go check first. If you're lying to me, I'll kill you!"
After speaking, he ordered Virgil, "I'm going to the bank first. You stay here and guard them. Don't let these two run away! And take this opportunity to make Ryder hand over Villa No. 1 and eighty million dollars! Once it's done, we won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives!"
Virgil nodded repeatedly. "Sawyer, don't worry. I've got this!"
Sawyer left with satisfaction!
In the cabin, holding the knife Sawyer had just used, Virgil walked up to Ryder and smiled wickedly. "Did you hear what Sawyer said? When are you going to hand over the money and the villa?"
