A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1399

The shares were supposed to be Tremont Enterprises’ biggest hurdle. Now, Arianne had managed to get through it. He hated the Smiths, Larks, and Wests for helping Arianne out. Now, he had to wait for Tremont Enterprises to be at its weakest before dealing a final blow. Otherwise, all of his efforts would go to waste if he waited for Tremont Enterprises to recover under Arianne’s management.

Seeing the gloomy look in his eyes, Aerse summoned his courage and asked, “Mr. Bart, is our previous agreement still valid? I’ve done everything you’ve asked. The final result has nothing to do with me.”

Seaton stared at Aerse and icily said, “What agreement? 10% of Tremont Enterprises? Open your eyes, who’s controlling Tremont Enterprises now? Is it me? Where am I supposed to wrangle that 10% for you? Yes, we did have an agreement, that I would give you shares once I’d obtained Tremont Enterprises. However, I don’t have it, and you still have the nerve to ask?”

Aerse immediately understood. He was blindly turned into a tool for Seaton. He had received nothing from their agreement and lost Tremont Enterprises’ shares. If it weren’t for Seaton’s instigation, who would have been stupid enough to liquidate Tremont Enterprises’ shares? Even 1% would bring profits to yearly dividends.

A dispute in benefits was the easiest way to change a person’s tune. “Are you playing me?” Aerse yelled. “After all that I’ve done for you? Yes, Tremont Enterprises doesn’t belong to you now, but you should stick to the agreement and pay me the amount worth the 10% shares from Tremont Enterprises. If you don‘t have the shares, money is fine too! I used to think that you were some formidable figure, Seaton S. Bart. Now I know that it’s all just for show. How could you have failed to anticipate that even the Smiths and Larks from Ayashe would help Tremont Enterprises? If it weren’t for their setback, aid from the Wests alone would’ve been useless! This was your mistake. I shouldn’t have to pay for it!”
