    Chapter 70 Buying The Jenningses


    Even though the chairman didn’t write an IOU, that didn’t mean that she could dy her debts.


    The man was an even more intimidating presence than Jack himself.


    “So it looks like the Jenningses really isn’t returning the money, huh?” Jack couldn’t stay quiet any


    longer. He had never seen such a shameless family.


    “Our chairman mentioned that it was okay if you don’t return the money, but in exchange, he’ll buy over


    sixty-one percent of the Jenningses shares. Based on our calctions, the Jennings family is now


    worth about one hundred and fifty million at most. If we follow that, then sixty-one percent of your


    shares will be about ny-one million five hundred thousand. If we take away the thirty million that you


    owe us, then we’ll be paying you sixty-one million five hundred thousand,” Jack said with a cold smile.


    The Jenningses’ expressions changed immediately. The Four Seas Corporation was clearly trying to


    scam them.


    The Jennings Corporation had a market value of above three hundred million at its peak. Even now,


    there was no way the corporation was worth any less than two hundred million.


    Added on to the fact that all the Jennings Corporation’spetition had fallen, they would have even


    more space to improve and expand in the future. They would definitely end up being worth way more


    than three hundred million.


    How could the Four Seas Corporation only calcte one hundred and fifty million as their value?


    The amount was outright bullying.


    “Mr. Sawyer, we don’t sell ourpany’s shares to outsiders. We’ll return the thirty million to the


    chairman,” Demi declined immediately.


    “Okay. I’ll give you five minutes to gather all the money. If you still aren’t able to pay the money back in


    five minutes, then you’ll either sell us your shares or announce bankruptcy.” Jack smiled mildly.


    Five minutes?


    The Jenningses paled. What Jack said was basically forcing them to sell their shares.


    Where and how are we going to get thirty million in five minutes?


    “By the way, you’re all still unaware of how the Wace family got destroyed, right?”


    Jack looked at the crowd before chuckling lightly. “It was because Mr. Wace offended Ms. Jennings.


    Our chairman was so furious that he demanded them to be destroyed. Now, the head of the Waces


    has died in jail and Walt Wace probably won’tst for much longer.”


    The crowd’s minds started buzzing. They knew that the Four Seas Corporation had been the one to


    destroy the Wace family, but they didn’t know exactly why.


    They hadn’t imagined for Heather to be so powerful, to the point that the chairman of Four Seas


    Corporation would stand up for her.


    Demi and the other Jenningses were really starting to regret everything they did.


    They should have known how close Heather and the chairman’s rtionship was from the moment she


    had managed to borrow thirty million from him.


    They really were in trouble now that the chairman himself was standing up for Heather.


    “Henry, can’t you ask your father to lend us thirty million for now?” Demi looked at Henry.


    Henry was the Jenningses only hope now.


    Henry’s expression changed as he quickly shook his head. “That’s impossible right now. The bank still


    hasn’t approved all of our financings. We definitely don’t have the money to lend you right now.”

    Henry wasn’t dumb. He knew that if the Hale family intercepted the Four Seas Corporation buying the


    Jennings Corporation, the Hales would end up like the Waces.


    Demi was extremely disappointed upon Henry’s answer, and so were the others, especially Harper.


    But none of them dared to call him out.


    “Three more minutes,” Jack reminded after checking his watch.


    Demi’s expression soured and she started to look desperate.


    “Heather, are you going to just watch your family crash and burn?” Demi asked Heather with her eyes


    full of desperation.


    Heather was feeling more conflicted than ever. On one side, she had the chairman supporting her, but


    she also had her family to think about.


    When she saw the desperation in her granny’s eyes, her heart softened once more and she was just


    about to speak when Jack waved a hand. “Our chairman said to ignore everybody else today.”


    With that, Heather swallowed the words she was about to say.


    Demi’s face was filled with despair and she sighed before saying helplessly, “Fine, I agree to let Four


    Seas Corporation buy the Jennings Corporation’s shares.”


    She wasn’t satisfied with the price that the Four Seas Corporation had offered, but she knew that if the


    Jennings family dared to rebuke, they’d have the same fate as the Wace family.


    Right then, Demi felt as though she had aged ten years.
