Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1046

Huh? How does he know? ”Terry, what’s going on? Please be straightforward and tell me all about it,” Fabian said calmly.

“Wesley just called me. He wants to raise the price of the land you’re partnering up with him to buy so that he can swindle some of your money. He even talked about splitting it in half with me. I disagreed. I’d rather not ruin our relationship like this.”

Hah! You just can’t wait to get wrecked, can you? Since you’re asking for it, then I’d better grant you your wishes.

Grinning, Fabian said, “Terry, why would you reject such a great offer?”

Terry was rather baffled by what he had just heard. “Huh?”

“Terry, call him back. Tell him you want eighty percent of the money. And then…”

After listening to Fabian’s plan in full, Terry could not help but chuckle a little. “Okay, okay. I’ll do as you’ve instructed. Mr. Norton, it can be really devastating to go against someone as smart as you. Fortunately, I do have the wisdom to be your friend.”

“Terry, your involvement in this is much appreciated.”

The two proceeded to engage in some small talk with each other and eventually ended the call.

Hours later, Wesley found himself narrowing his eyes at his phone. “Hmph. This Mr. Ziegler guy is greedier than I have expected. It turns out that he rejected me the first time simply because he wasn’t offered enough money,” he said to himself.

Upon hearing that, Regina turned to look at him eagerly. “So, he agreed to our plan?”

Nodding with a somewhat discontent expression, Wesley replied, “He did agree… but he wants to get eighty percent of the money.”

Terry also extended his right hand to shake hands with Fabian. He could not help but lament to himself in his head. Oh, gosh. What has Wesley done to you? I can’t believe that he’s going to such lengths just to dupe Wesley. Does he even care about his image at this point?

His image was indeed the last thing on Fabian’s mind at the moment. Putting on an act to get his darling Hannah her sweet revenge and even getting paid for his acting sounded like an amazing deal to him.

“Mr. Ziegler, Mr. Xenakis, this is the private room I’ve reserved for you.”

In the private room, they made their orders and began chatting casually. After most of the dishes had been served, Fabian took a sip of his wine and put on his best impression of a businessman in distress. Smiling awkwardly, he said, “Mr. Ziegler, I do remember discussing the price with you two days ago. Why did you suddenly raise it by so much?”

Terry furrowed his brows slightly and replied, “Oh, Fabian. I don’t have a choice. The higher-ups were the ones who made the decision. I want to help you, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

As he said those words, he took out a document from his briefcase. “Look, I’m not lying to you. This is the contract printed as per the instructions of my higher-ups. The price is being doubled. I’ve tried to negotiate with them for your sake but was reprimanded instead. They said that they have no intentions of lowering the prices. There’re many competitors wanting to purchase the plot of land, and you can either take it or leave it.”
