Female Novel
Chapter 916
Asher rubbed his hands together, his ambition clearly etched on his face.
“F.A Group is a big player. Previously, I would never have dreamed of coveting it. After all, the Gordon family isnot to be trifled with. However, things are different now with the Garcia family owing me money. Even thoughAlfonso is locked up, according to the rules, if the person involved is not able to pay, their family would have tosettle their debt. Now that Neera is in control of ANXIN Group, it's only natural that she pays off her father'sdebt! Since Alfonso has promised me, Neera should bear the responsibility of paying me back, including theaccumulated interest.”
Benny chuckled and said, “You're very ambitious indeed. However, even though F.A Group is a big piece of pie,do you think it would be that easy for you to take a bite? You seem to be oversimplifying things! Firstly, it's stilluncertain if Neera would acknowledge the debt. Secondly, even if she agrees to help Alfonso repay the money, it'sunlikely that she will give you any F.A Group shares. You can just continue dreaming.”
Naturally, Asher understood all of that and responded with an obsequious smile.
“You're right, it's indeed not easy. That's why I have specially invited both of you here today. I wanted to ask ifthe two of you are interested to collaborate with me. If we work together, we might even be able to take over asignificant portion of F.A Group. If we manage to do that, we can split it equally among the three of us. Wouldn'tthat be really wonderful?”
The other two men froze for a moment upon hearing that.
Although Asher's greed was within their expectations, they were taken aback to find out that he was indeedscheming and was even attempting to involve them in his plans.
However, it was indeed a very tempting proposal.
After all, F.A Group was one of the top ten corporations globally.
Not to mention taking a bite of the pie, even eating some crumbs would be a big deal.
“What are you thinking of doing?” Benny spoke first, unable to resist the temptation of the potential substantialgains.
Asher glanced at the man before looking toward Derek, who also had his attention on him. Then, he moved closerto the two of them and began sharing his plans with them.
“Regarding this matter, we definitely have to work on Neera. Currently, my idea is...”
Half an hour later, Benny and Derek left in satisfaction.
Right after both of them left, Asher's subordinate was seen hurrying back with a distressed expression on his face.
“Asher, we're in trouble!”
Asher was leisurely sipping his tea while indulging in thoughts of a beautiful life when he was interrupted. Heglared at his subordinate in displeasure and replied, “What could be so serious? Look at you, all flustered andunsettled. Gather yourself first!”
His subordinate swallowed nervously and urgently reported, “We've just received news that our men stationednear ANXIN Group, for some unknown reason, were suddenly wiped out. Their whereabouts are currentlyunknown, and we don't know if they're dead or alive.”
When Asher heard that, he put his cup down on the table heavily and leaped to his feet.
“What did you just say? How is it possible that they simply disappeared? Explain to me now!”
With a grim expression on his face, the subordinate shook his head continuously and replied, “I've had peoplelook into it, but we didn't manage to find anything. It's as if they've vanished from the face of the earth. Theymust have encountered some kind of mishap.”
Mishap?
What kind of mishap could cause so many people to disappear simultaneously?
Asher could hardly believe that it happened right after he confidently declared to Benny and Derek that theycould seize control of ANXIN Group and F.A Group if they worked together.
He did not know what would become of him if the two of them found out about it.
The man's complexion shifted in varying shades of white as he instructed his subordinate, “Block the news fromleaking and make sure no one knows about it! Quickly send more people to investigate what is going on!”
He had a feeling that Neera was involved in the matter...
At that very moment, Neera was still in the laboratory, preparing the medicine.
She suddenly felt a chill creep up her spine and couldn't help but shiver.
Pulling her lab coat tighter around herself, she cast a glance at the air conditioner and wondered if the temperature
was too low, causing her to catch a cold.
Without giving it much thought, she picked up the remote control and turned up the temperature by two degrees.Only then did she start to feel slightly better.
Time flew by as she spent the entire afternoon in the research room.
At the end of the day, she was barely a quarter done with the preparation of the medicine.
In the evening, Jean arrived as promised to take her out for dinner. novelbin
