When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 457 "Sure, Mr. Jackson, whatever makes you comfortable. I don't need to borrow much, only 10 million dollars.

"10 million dollars is probably a small amount for you, right? After all, you recently secured an investment from the foreign company, Scion Investment, didn't you? You probably don't care about such a small amount of money." From the earlier conversation, Shane figured out that Ethan loved flattery because Ethan lost his bearings after being praised a bit. Now, Shane was complimenting Ethan to ensure Ethan didn't hold a grudge against him. Ethan thought, '10 million dollars is not a lot?" al Fortunately, Ethan did have the money. Despite looking displeased, he didn't say anything more but cursed inwardly, "He even dares to schagainst me. Well, then don't blme for playing dirty." The next day. Ethan arranged a meeting with Shane in a private room at the Grand Restaurant, As Shane entered, he saw Ethan, who was accompanied by another man Shane entered with a cheeky smile, greeting, "Mr. Jackson, sorry for making you wait, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. My apologies." Ethan didn't even turn his head to greet Shane.

At the side, Ibrahim glanced at Shane without standing up. "You're Mr. Benderson, right?" "Yes, and you are?" Shane sat down directly.

Lam Mr. Jackson's assistant." Ibrahim introduced himself offhandedly.

Upon hearing he was just an assistant, Shane's face darkened. It was fine to Shane that Ethan didn't get up to greet him, but Shane was angry with his assistant's attitude.

Ethan remained silent, not wanting to deal with Shane, whom he found disgusting.

Ibrahim took a contract out of his briefcase. “Mr. Benderson, this is the contract for the loan you requested from Mr. Jackson." Shane took the contract with a sour expression before glancing through it and immediately expressed dissatisfaction. "Mr. Jackson, isn't this interest rate too high? Can we negotiate "No, it's not high..." Before brabim could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Shane. "It's not high? What do you mean it's not high? Do you have the right to speak here? I'm negotiating with Mr. Jackson. We're friends, right, Mr. Jackson? You wouldn't overcharge a friend, would you? After all, we already agreed, didn't we?" Shane thought he was saving face for Ethan by not mentioning the private video incident, but he was hinting at it.

dog, you have to consider its owner, right? He's my assistant. How dare Ethan turned to Shane coldly and said, "Who are you insulting? Even if you bully a dog, you you insult him?" Hearing Ethan describing him as a dog, Ibrahim didn't say anything, only thinking that he would deal with both of them sooner or later.

Shane toned it down. “Mr. Jackson, I apologize. I'm a bit agitated because the interest rate is high, almost like a loan shark, if it's a loan shark rate, this contract isn't legally binding, is it? Besides, il pign it but can't repay you, wouldn't you be upset? So, a lower rate can better ensure smooth repayment Doesn't it sound better?" "You speak," Ethan instructed tbrahim as lye didn't want to say more to Shane 1/3 01:05 Sat, 15 Jun Chapter 457 60% Ibrahim understood and replied, "Mr. Benderson, you said the rate is close to a loan shark's, but only close. Unfortunately, I must tell you, this is just the official rate while the actual rate is 50% monthly." "What?!" Shane immediately got up from his seat, thinking that this was pure loan sharking as the interest rate was too high.

"Mr. Jackson, are you serious?" Shane was in disbelief and speechless. Just a moment ago, he was delighted at the prospect of getting 10 million dollars, but now he was at a loss, feeling that Ethan was trying to play dirty.

"Why am I not serious?" Ethan asked.

Shane rubbed his nose. "Mr. Jackson, let's be serious. 50% Interest is insanely high. What if I can't even afford it by then?" Ibrahim smiled. "Mr. Benderson, don't be modest. Doesn't your family have Jackson Group stocks? How could you not have money to repay?" Shane gritted his teeth. "The shares belong to my father, not me." "You're his only son and wouldn't those shares be yours if he dies?” Ibrahim countered.

Shane exploded. “Damn you, are you cursing my father?" Then, he picked up a wine glass intending to smash it on Ibrahim's head. He was dissatisfied with Ethan but couldn't directly target him, so he wanted to vent his anger indirectly by hitting Ibrahim...

"What are you doing?" Ethan stepped in to protect Ibrahim.

Since ibrahim was his assistant, Ethan's action of protecting Ibrahim also meant protecting his self-dignity. "Mr. Jackson, can we talk properly?" Shane pleaded urgently.

Seeing Shane's anxious look, Ethan sneered. "Why are you in such a hurry? Haven't been talking to you properly? The rate is 50% monthly, and I'm not negotiating with you. You must take the loan today, whether you like it or not Shane was stunned, scratching his head, and suddenly chuckled. “Mr. Jackson, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I have to borrow it even don't want to? If I don't take it, I can just walk out, can't it "And Mr. Jackson, you don't need to worry ry about bad news coming out if I leave. It's fine, this is our first negotiation and I'll give you another chance. "Let's not discuss this today. Once you're ready to lower the interest rate, e, we can talk again. I genuinely want to be friends with you instead of making enemies." Shane stood up and walked towards the door, but after finding it wouldn't open, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Ethan slammed the table before standing up and approaching Shane to grab his collar and punch him in the face. "D a n it, who said I wanted to be friends with you? You dare schagainstthe first twe meet? Do you think you're worthy of my friendship?" After taking the punch, Shane realized that Ethan had set a trap for him by inviting him to meet. There was no way he could get out now Understanding this, Shane immediately protected his head and begged, "Mr. Jackson, please stop. I know I was wrong.

Ethan didn't intend to push it too far because Shane's father, Edward, was a shareholder and had a good relationship with Neil. Making it too big of an issue would probably make Gabriel find out.

Ethan let go of Shane, disgustedly wiping his hands with a tissue. “D a m n, hitting you makes my hands dirty!"
