CHAPTER 545

Chapter 545 Don’t Want It Anymore

“Don’t sugarcoat it. Honesty is important in business. And honest businessmen will not raise the price suddenly.” Paisley swirled the wine glass in her hand and looked at Bridger mockingly.

In fact, from the beginning, Paisley knew that Bridger was unreliable. He had the cheeks to raise the price at the last minute. So she agreed to 30 percent quickly. She didn’t care about the number, because Bridger would want more in

the end anyway.

“Honesty?” As if he had heard a big joke, Bridger laughed out loud. “What century is it now? Please! Honesty is almost worthless nowadays. Benefits come first for us businessmen. Aren’t we tied together because of benefits? Since we want benefits, of course, we have to get as much as we can. This is the fundamental purpose of doing business!”

This was Bridger’s real thought. And this was how he had been doing business. He disliked and also despised Simon’s way of doing business.

What century was it? Honesty? When Simon was doing business, sometimes he would choose to lose money because of so-called honesty. How could there be someone so stupid in this world? Doing business was to make money. If there was no money, then why bother?

Previously, when Bridger was still working in the company, he had argued with Simon because of this. He had smacked the desk and objected, but in the end, he couldn’t convince Simon. However, Simon had been surprisingly lucky. He could always make a lot of profits in the end. Therefore, the directors of the company never complained. As long as the money went into their pockets, they didn’t care who called the shots.

Later, Simon reduced Bridger’s power little by little and finally kicked Bridger out of the company.

It made Bridger angry whenever he thought of it. Now that he had the chance to turn the table, he must make good

use of it.

Paisley raised a brow and said noncommittally, “True. But do you think I will accept it?”

“Of course!” Bridger said confidently.

Then he added, “Unless you don’t want the scripture anymore. Simon started so late, but he is already so good. With your physical talent and intelligence, you will definitely be invincible in the world after you learn everything in the book. At that time, in the ancient martial arts world, the Drew family would be the boss. And a small company like the Drew Group will not be worth your time. Why don’t you let me take care of it? Then you can do what you want.”

Bridger believed his words were very convincing. Paisley would definitely be tempted.

He knew how much Paisley wanted this thing. That was why he had so much confidence to negotiate with her.

“That’s very convincing.” Paisley nodded thoughtfully and looked up at him. Bridger could hardly suppress his joy. There were smiles both on his lips and in his eyes.

However, Paisley’s face suddenly turned cold. “But I changed my mind. I don’t want it anymore.”

After saying this, Paisley put the wine glass down on the coffee table and turned to leave.

Bridger was stunned. He wasn’t expecting this at all.

By the time he recovered from his shock, Paisley was almost at the door. Bridger hurriedly caught up with her. “Wait, wait…”

He grabbed Paisley’s wrist but was shaken off.

Bridger dared not touch her again. He was both shocked and angry. “What do you mean? Why do you say you don’t want it anymore? Haven’t you always wanted this scripture? Are you playing me?”

“You’re playing me!” Paisley sneered. “You suddenly raised the price and wanted more from me. How dare you say I’m playing you?”

“I…” Bridger was lost for words. He didn’t know why Paisley suddenly changed her mind. Because he was asking too much?

Unlikely. Paisley had been looking for this scripture for so many years. Why would she give up on it suddenly?

Bridger asked tentatively, “Then… You mean?”

“I mean that I don’t want it anymore,” Paisley said so firmly, and it seemed nothing could change her mind again.

“Drop the act. I don’t believe you. You want a lower price, right? Then let’s talk about it. It’s not like we can’t discuss the price! We are doing business. You can bargain. Let’s find a price that works for both of us. Don’t be so grumpy.”

Bridger did not dare to use force on Paisley. After all, he was no match for her. However, he found Paisley’s attitude too ambiguous.

Bridger wouldn’t let her go. Paisley turned her head to look at him, her expression unreadable.

“Then… Forget about 50 percent. How about 45 percent?” Bridger asked tentatively. Paisley remained silent and only stared at him. Her stare made Bridger’s hair stand on end. After a moment of silence, Bridger asked timidly, “40 percent?”

But Paisley still kept silent, as if she wouldn’t change her mind.

“See, this is the scripture that you have always wanted!” Bridger took out his phone and waved it before Paisley’s eyes. He showed her the pictures one by one. “I risked a lot to get it. You’ve tried so hard but failed to get it. Now it is right. in front of you. Are you sure you don’t want it? You might regret it later. At that time, I probably won’t agree to discuss the price with you.”

“Then you can keep it.” Paisley smiled, and she said coldly.

Bridger was completely stunned. Seeing that Paisley had already opened the door, he grabbed the handle and stopped. her. At the same time, Bridger gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! 30 percent, like we agreed on! That’s it. I won’t raise the price. Are you satisfied now? You are horrible! Let’s sign the contract. You have the scripture, and I have the

shares. Satisfied?”

He said very unhappily, his teeth tightly clenched as if he had suffered a great loss.

However, Paisley remained silent. She did not nod and simply looked at Bridger with cold eyes, as if he was a clown.

Bridger was flummoxed.

Paisley’s reactions were not expected at all, which completely shattered the confidence that he came here with.

Paisley looked like she really didn’t want the scripture. But she did! owns this text.

“Just tell me. What do you want? If you really don’t want this scripture, I will return it to Simon immediately. No, I will put it up for auction. Surely someone in the ancient martial arts would love to pay a higher price for it!” After thinking for a moment, Bridger threatened.

However, to his great surprise, Paisley laughed. “Great. Go ahead then. Let’s see how much you can sell this knockoff

for.”

Paisley’s words blew Bridger’s mind. He said in disbelief, “WHAT DID YOU SAY?”
