The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 982 “I need to confirm if Grace is safe first.” Jaydon tried his best to sound calm.

Cassius sneered and said meaningfully, “Don’t worry, she’s very safe now. However, I'm unsure what will happen to her if you continue to waste our time.” Jaydon’s eyes darkened when he heard the threat. A fierce look appeared on Jaydon’s face. He grabbed the phone so tight that it was creaking. Jaydon would never give the evidence in his hands to Cassius.

Giving the evidence to Cassius meant giving up the billion-dollar inheritance provided by the Grimm Group. Even if Jaydon handed the evidence to Cassius and gave up the inheritance, his other siblings would probably not agree with this decision.

Moreover, Cassius not only took the inheritance but also killed his father and aunt. Jaydon would not let such a criminal get away with it.

Cassius laughed darkly and threatened, “So? Are you still thinking about it? Grace is your biological sister. Think about it. Is your sister or money more important?” Jaydon fell silent. His brain was racing to figure out a solution.

Half a minute later, Jaydon still had not spoken a word.

Seeing Jaydon did not reply, Cassius took a step back. Cassius said, “Here's the deal. If you give the evidence to me, I'll let Grace go. | can also return all the properties under your name to you.

“In addition, I'll give you the Millego Group.

“Also, I'll give you 2 billion dollars in cash. How can you be dissatisfied with these conditions?” Jaydon’s expression darkened when he heard Cassius’s condition. Jaydon replied, “Give me some time to think about it.” Cassius snorted and said, “Hmph. | don’t have the patience to wait for you for too long. Think about it. 2 billion dollars and the Millego Group. This money is enough for you to spend for hundreds of years.

You can't receive this amount if the inheritance is divided according to Dad's will.” Jaydon said in a constricted voice, deliberately pretending to waver, “What about the other siblings? What did they say?” 10:36 Hearing this, Cassius reacted like he had listened to a hilarious joke. He laughed maniacally and said, “Hahaha. Jaydon, you're a big fool.

“To put it nicely, you're kind-hearted. To put it bluntly, you're the stupidest fool in the world.

“You think for other people. However, have they ever thought for you? “God save those who think for themselves. Do you know that? Here's the logic. The inheritance is like a cake. Two people eat it, and both of them will be full. However, do you think ten people share the cake and each of them will be full?” Jaydon pretended to negotiate with Cassius, saying, “l want to hear Grace's voice first. | need to confirm her safety.” Jaydon did need to make sure his sister was safe. Secondly, he had to stall for time by negotiating with Cassius as much as possible.

Jaydon continued, “I won't give you the evidence if | can't talk to Grace. What if you change your mind after | give you the evidence?” Cassius quickly promised, “I swear | won't. As long as you give me the evidence, | will give you everything that | have mentioned before.” Cassius thought, “All | want is the evidence in Jaydon’s hands.

“I still have the biggest proportion of the inheritance even if | give Jaydon 2 billion dollars and the Millego Group.” Jaydon pondered for a few seconds. Then he replied, “| want to hear Grace's voice now.

“Also, I'm not satisfied with the amount. | want 10 billion dollars, the Millego Group, and Dad's residence. | don’t want anything else.” Hearing Jaydon’s words, Cassius revealed a trace of sinisterness and deviousness in his eyes. He said, “Well, well. Jaydon, you ask for too much.

“I've read Dad's will. Even if we divide the inheritance according to Dad's will, you won't get that much.” It was true. Tim was a playboy but did his best to treat his children equally.

Tim's will stated that Jaydon would be the chairman of Grimm Group, and his other children would be entitled to receive the inheritance.

Tim divided his current assets and cash into fifteen portions. Jaydon could take 20 percent of it, and each of the other children took 10 10:36 percent. Cassius was on the list and could take 10 percent.

The Grimm Group was deep-pocketed. Cassius would receive over 2 billion dollars even if he could only take 10 percent of the inheritance. Tim treated Cassius very nicely.

Jaydon would receive over 6 billion dollars since he was the eldest son. Based on the proportion, Tim did not give too much preference to Jaydon.

However, men were always greedy. Compared with 40 billion dollars, 2 billion dollars instantly became a small number.

Jaydon said, “Cassius, no more talking. You know very well how much money Dad left for us.

“Even if | get 10 billion dollars, it's only one-third of it. You still have much more money than me.

“You taught me the lesson just now. Let's have a win-win game.

“This is a big cake. If we eat it together, you'll have 70 percent, while I'll have 30 percent. You are still the winner.” Jaydon deliberately pretended to get more benefits and negotiate with Cassius about conditions.

In fact, Jaydon would bring Cassius to justice even if Jaydon could not get a cent.

But now, Jaydon had to negotiate to stall for time.

Cassius gasped. Then he gritted his teeth and offered, “4 billion dollars. No more.” Jaydon refused to give in and said, “10 billion dollars, not a single cent less.” Cassius warned, “Jaydon, don’t push me. If you push me too far, you will see Grace's dead body sooner or later.” Jaydon took a deep breath and pretended to be okay with it. He said, “Hmph. Cassius, this is what you taught me. God save those who think for themselves.

“10 billion dollars and a sister? Of course, | choose 10 billion dollars.” When Cassius heard this, he frowned and gritted his teeth in anger. His nostrils became bigger as he inhaled more air.

Cassius thought, “Jaydon is right. Some people would sell their children for thousands of dollars, not to mention 10 billion dollars.

Besides, that’s Jaydon’s sister. If it were Jaydon, | wouldn't care about my sister’s life.” 10:36 Cassius replied, “No, 10 billion dollars is too much.

“Besides, most of Dad's inheritance is fixed assets. There's not that much cash.” Cassius paused for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth and took another step back. “6 billion dollars. This is my last offer. Don’t be too greedy, Jaydon. Coupled with Dad’s mansion and the Millego Group.” After saying that, Cassius felt so sad to see his money go that he gritted his teeth tightly.

Cassius added, “You won't get so much money if we divide the inheritance according to Dad's will.” Tim had seven sons, five daughters, a younger brother, and two younger sisters.

Tim's assets were divided into 15 portions. Jaydon took 20 percent while each of the other children took 10 percent. The remaining 20 percent was distributed to Tim’s younger brother and two sisters.

Jaydon frowned and considered it for seconds. He thought, “This is the end of the negotiation. If | continue to negotiate with Cassius, the deal -will go bad.” Thus, Jaydon said, “Deal. However, | want to hear Grace's voice first. “Also, | want you to transfer the assets to me. In addition, | need you to hold a press conference to officially announce it. Oh, wait. | also need you to write a statement. Otherwise, | can’t do nothing to you if you break your word.” Cassius replied, “Relax. You also said it just now. It's a win-win game. Since I've agreed to the conditions, | won't go back on my word.” Jaydon said, “So be it! Now let me hear Grace's voice.” Cassius paused for a while. Then he said, “Wait a moment.”
