Chapter 64 Dirty Tricks

"He is indeed fast." Cole spun around in the chair, looking laidback.

Amber closed the folder in her hand and put it aside. "Please invite him in."

"Yes," Sheila answered.

Soon, Trenton came in and he stared at Amber with his sharp gaze.

Amber had been used to battles in the business world and she was not nervous. She smiled and

gestured to Trenton. "Please have a seat, Mr. Gardner."

"How composed of you!" Trenton seemed to be praising her. He pulled the chair opposite her and sat

down.

Cole sat down beside Amber.

Amber gently pushed the teacup served by Sheila to Trenton. "Thank you, Mr. Gardner. Please have

some tea."

Trenton looked down at the tea in front of him and didn't intend to drink it.

Amber didn't care about it. She crossed her hands and put them on the table. "So, may I ask why are

you here in Goldstone today?"

"I’ll be frank. You know the land in the city center? I want it back." Trenton fixed his eyes on her.

Amber threw a side glance at Cole and quickly retrieved her look. She smiled. "Take it back? I'm afraid

that's impossible. After all, the ownership has been handed over. It belongs to me now, not you. How

could you get it back?"

Trenton realized what he had said was inappropriate and he immediately added, "I think you’ve

misunderstood my words. What I meant was to ‘buy it back’."

He was slightly enraged speaking of this.

He could have gotten this land for free in the first place, but because of Makenna’s doing, he needed to

spend money for God’s sake.

"Is that so? Looks like I’ve indeed misunderstood you." Amber tugged a lock of her hair back behind

her left ear. "How much are you going to pay for it then?"

"Twenty million dollars." Trenton looked at her and raised two fingers.

Cole rolled his eyes and couldn't help interjecting, "Mr. Gardner, you want to buy the land in the city

center back for only twenty million dollars. You must be joking! Or is it that the Trident Group has gone

bankrupt and you can't afford the price?"

Trenton's face turned grim as he listened to his sarcasm. "Mr. Lyon, you’re gonna have to bear legal

responsibility for spreading rumors!"

Cole was not intimidated at all. "What? Am I wrong? Otherwise, why do you only want to pay twenty

million dollars? Who are you kidding?"

"Mr. Gardner, I'm with Cole on this. Twenty million is far from enough." Amber took a sip of the tea in

front of her and said with an unchanged smile.

Trenton knew that the amount of money he was willing to pay was really not enough too and he fell into

silence for a few seconds. "How much do you want?"

"400 million dollars it is!" Amber put down her tea and said a number.

Let alone Trenton, even Cole was stunned.

Trenton slapped the table and stood to his feet. "Miss Reed, you’re being too greedy. 400 million?"

"I admit that the price is a little high, but it's a reasonable offer. It's a land in the city center, the

preliminary estimated value is about 300 million dollars. When the surrounding is developed and it

becomes more prosperous later, the price of that land will only rise. 400 million dollars is not a lot,"

Amber looked at him and explained calmly.

Trenton snorted. "Who knows how many years it'll take for the price of that land to rise to 400 million?

Now you’re asking me to pay you 400 million. I'd say, you don't actually want to sell it to me, do you?"

Amber shook her head. "I do. As long as you’re willing to pay me this amount, I'll give you the title deed

immediately. You only feel that way because you don’t want to pay the money. In this case, I'd better

keep the land for my own factory."

"Then I'll see if you could build the factory as you wish!" Trenton snorted coldly.

Amber narrowed her beautiful eyes. "Mr. Gardner, are you threatening us?"

Trenton didn't answer. He turned away and left.

Cole watched the door being slammed shut by him. "Darling, are you fooling him?"

"No. I’m not." Amber continued drinking her tea. "What I said is true. As long as he gives me that much

money, I'll sell him the land. Since he can't afford it and had to think that way, I can't help it."

Cole stood up and walked around her, sizing her up and down. "Tut, tut. It's only been a while, and now

you've evolved into a cunning fox in the business world. 400 million dollars. Not to mention Trenton,

even Jared can't take out so much working capital at once, okay?"

"So, I'll keep the land for myself." Amber smiled.

Out of the blue, the cell phone on the desk rang.

Amber put down the teacup and picked the phone up. She glimpsed at the caller ID and frowned.

"Hello."

"I'm sorry, Miss Reed. There's something wrong with our engineering team. We may not be able to help

you build the factory, please find someone else."

The call was hung up before Amber had the chance to speak.

"What's the matter, darling?" Seeing that she didn’t look good, Cole asked with concern.

Amber's lips moved. Before she spoke, the phone rang again. This time it was from the machinery

company.

"Hello, is this Miss Reed?"

"Yes, I am," Amber clenched her cell phone and muttered. She had basically guessed what the person

was going to say next.

"Well, Miss Reed, our company has recently signed a huge overseas order. We may not be able to

help you assemble the machines. I'm really sorry. Please forgive us."

With that, the man also hung up the call, as if Amber was a monster which would engulf anyone who

hung up slowly.

"Darling, what's going on?" Cole was anxious when he saw her looking gloomier and gloomier.

Amber slowly put down her cell phone and she looked as cold as ever. "Trenton had messed with the

engineering team and the machinery company we found in order to hinder the construction of our

factory."

"What?" Cole landed a punch on the table. "That old bastard is too shameless! No, I'll contact other

companies."

"I'm afraid it's no use. Trenton wanted to stop us and he will certainly inform other companies too."

Amber pinched her palm.

Cole was silent for a moment. "Anyway, let’s give it a try."

With that, he walked aside and began to make a phone call. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Amber massaged the part between her eyebrows tiredly. Then, she took out her phone, typed

something, and posted it on the social media.

Just after she finished posting and was about to put down her phone, a message suddenly popped up

from above the screen.

Z: What's the matter?

It's him!

Amber's heart suddenly leapt and she didn't know what was wrong with her. Seeing that the person

who sent the message was Z, she had a feeling that couldn’t be described.

But Amber didn't think much. After taking a deep breath, she typed to reply: What do you mean by

‘what's the matter?’

Z: I saw your post.

Amber only then realized that Z sent her the message because he saw her post on social media.

Amber felt heartwarming. She replied with a smile: Are you concerned about me?

When Jared saw the message, he pursed his lips.

He didn't know why he would ask her that when he saw her post. As soon as he reacted, the message

had already been sent.

It would be no use for him to remove the message. She would still see it and ask him what he had sent,

therefore it was better for him to leave it there.

Z: If you say so.

Amber: Then I'll take this as a yes.

Z: Uh-huh.

Amber replied: Do you really want to know what had happened to me just now?

Jared hesitated. Then he typed: Not really. You could choose not to say anything.

Amber: Why would I refuse to say?

She smiled. Not knowing for what reason, she had subconsciously treated the person as a listener and

she told him about Trenton's deeds via voice message.
