Chapter 9 Keeping The Jerk Awake All Night
“Vyote, my forever dear, Til take the house for now.
Yvonne? Oh, I’m not done talking. Wait! Don’t sleep…”
Yvonne lay on her side in bed, just dreaming of the green light next to headquarters, when a clear female voice came to her ears.
Sienna’s voice was filled with joy.
“h’s said that after the four investors called, Shane gathered his subordinates and writ to the company overnight. He’s in for a busy night. But don’t worry. Although the investors‘ withdrawal of investment might be troublesome, with me here. I guarantee they all can ext unscathed, while making Shane suffer a great loss,
According to normal procedures, withdrawing investme
investment requires a cumbersome settlement process.
But the contract I wrote ongiully already has clauses for this, to ensure they get their money back from Slune, which involves some battles between legal and agreed matten.”
Yvonne rubbed the comers of her eyes and looked at Sienna’s childlike yet mature round face, her voice lazy
“I know you’re excited, but can’t you talk about it in the morning?”
At this p
point. Nadine pushed open the bedroom door with a can of Coke and said, “Why talk about such a happy thing in the morning! After dawn. both Sienna and I will be miserable workers, how can we still be happy?”
Yvonne yawned and said, “Thank you.”
Sienna smiled and said. “You’re welcome.”
Sienna Dale, twenty–four years old, only three months younger than Yvonne, was with a cute and innocent face that couldn’t hide the shrewdness of a female lawyer.
uch of se
Her bouncy curl added a touch of sexiness to her.
Sienna continued. “When you arranged for them to invest in Shane, I added those clauses out of professional habit. I didn’t expect Shane to cheat three years later and the clauses to come in lundy.”
For Yvonne, that was already a thing of the past.
If it weren’t for the fun of it, she wouldn’t have bothered with the contract with slane.
Sienna put away the house gifi contract on the table, grinning from ear to ear.
“In the contract we negotiated with Craig Group this time, there’s no clause requiring Craig Group to disclose their financial situation or any changes in equity. After all, your intention was to give Shane a gift. I guess Shane is likely to conceal the withdrawal of investment from the shareholders and continur to sign the contract with us.
Yvonse snorted and narrowed her eyes. “There are sull over seven hours before the signing, so let him keep dreaming for a while.”
“Mr. Craig, there’s no financial clause in the contract we negotiated, so we can definitely proceed with the signing. As long as we cooperate with S&T Corp, the company won’t have to worry about anything.”
Shaor’s assistant. Eden Snyder, spoke confidently
In the general inanager’s office of Grasg Group
Shaise’s propped lus forehead, feeling a throbbing pain in his templex.
His affair had been exposed, Yvonne had smashed his house, and on top of that, the mvestors were withdrawing their investment. The continious stress and blows had left lum visibly exluusted, with faint slark circles under his frameless glasses.
He looked up at Eden and took out a cigarette from the pack.
Seeing that, Maggie quickly pushed Eden aside and leaned in With a click, she lit the cigarette for Shane
Shane took a drag, the amoke obscuring his face. He asked in a lanky voice,
“Eden, you were there when we signed the contract with the investon. Why didn’t you advise me against it?
Upon hearing this. Eden felt a bit uneasy.
There was a clause in the contract that roughly stated that with the agreemem of 60% or more of the joint venturers, the company should agree to the withdrawal request of the investors.
In the case of the company being profitable, if three or more joint venturers jointly withdrew their investment, it was deemed as a lack of confidence in the company’s future, and they may request withdrawal or convert their investment amo a loan. In that case, the person in charge should resolve it by buying back or repaying the principal plus interest
Eden stood with his hands crossed, respectfully
“At the time, I also felt that their withdrawal conditions were too lenient and might cause trouble. But you urgently needed the money, and…

And I saw that you had no objections to the contract, so 1…”
Eden’s narrow, single eyelids were slightly lowered, and his facial expression revealed no emotion.
Shane bit slown on his cigarette, his
is jawline clearly visible.
Humalianon.
At that time, he was eager to acquire a production line, and in order to get the money quickly, he had to overlook this clause
Eden had studied law. If he had spoken up and said that was not appropriate, perhaps Shane would have proposed amending the contract
Shane took a puff of his cigarette and said, “Now that the company is on track, I’m not afraid of them leaving”
What he was afraid was that there was a hidden hand behind the scenes trying to deal with him.
If the signing fell through and the four investors withdrew their investment, the company would be unable to operate directly.
Maggie saw Shane’s concerns and subtly gave Eden a look.
Eden got her meaning and nodded. “Mr. Craig, please think about it again. I’ll leave now.”
As soon as Eden left, Maggie locked the door and then straddled Shane’s lap, her delicate arms wrapping around his neck, looking up at him with a blushed face.
Shane’s eyes had a hint of coldness,
“Because of you, my family is in chaos”
Maggie looked at him seductively, pouting. “But I got you the cooperation with S&T Corp. Isn’t that better than anything?”
“Yes, you’re my lucky charm.”
The coldness in Shane’s eyes dissipated, and he cupped her thighs, feeling the desire in his heart surge again.
“Maggie, have you been drinking!”
Maggie’s eyes were soft and seductive, and her hands wandered. “I wanted to help you cool down, so I added something extra.”
“You lade seductress, you’re going to drain me again.”
Slane was easily aroused by her and eagerly pressed her onto the desk, frantically groping and kissing her
Just as they were about to get intimate, someone knocked on the door.
“Shane, something’s wrong!
Rhett is in trouble!”
Shane stopped his actions, hastily straightening his disheveled suit, and said annoyedly, “Come in!”
After her good time was interrupted, Maggie forcibly held back her anger as she opened the door for Tricia.
When she opened the door, she smiled and greeted Tricia.
Tricia didn’t have the mood to talk to Maggie and went straight to Shane. “I just got a call from the school saying that Rhett violated school rules. I don’t understand those things, and his homeroom teacher asked you to call him back.”
Slune scoffed, “Just a violation of discipline, as it worth him calling in the middle of the night?”
His half–brother, Rhen Wells, had poor grades, so he used his connections to get hun into the only posh school in Fullver.
At that time, he had just started cooperating with the four investors and was somewhat famous in Fuilver. The school principal happened to be his Lather’s comrade–in–arms, with a life and death friendship. The principal treated him with great respect.
In the past, when Rhen got into trouble at school, like taking female classmates out at night or fighting over jealousy, those mistakes that would normally result in expulsion without even reporting to the parents, the principal directly handled them for him
Slane leisurely took our his phone. “With my relationship with the principal, what are you worried about?”
He then called back the homeroom teacher, Archie Prescott
As soon as the phone connected, the teacher said,
“Are you Rhen Wells‘ older brother? Come to the school after 9 am tomorrow to discuss Rhett’s matter.”
“Mr. Prescol
Shane had always been personally received by the principal Jewell Harris, so how could he listen to a mere homeroom teacher!
Sorry, I have an important meeting tomorrow and can’t make it at 9am.”
Archie Prescot didn’t say much. “Alright, it’s up to you whether you cuane or not.
