Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 391

"However, Sergio, if you would lend a hand, I may not end up in such a bad situation. Zoella said decisively, looking up at Sergio."

"Really? Sergio frowned and smirked. ""Miss Yates, are you making fun of me? I am in the military and have nothing to do with business. Say, what exactly can I do for you?"""

"No, you can. It depends on whether you'll agree or not. Zoella nodded with certainty."

"Sergio laughed. ""Zoella, you're putting me on a pedestal. Xanthe family only seeks to develop in the military, and we have no interest in the business. Besides, you also remember the 'little white rabbit' fight. Even if I want to help, it would be Belle I would help. Why do you think it would be you?"""

"When Zoella heard this, her eyebrows were raised, not seeming sad at all. She said with confidence, ""No, things are different now. Your stand and benefits have changed. You won't be foolish enough to help Belle. If I'm not mistaken, Harvey Group stole a few deals away from the Xanthe family."""

Zoella said casually.

"Sergio was stunned. He asked in a cold voice, ""Zoella, how did you know about my family's stuff?"""

"This woman wanted to parade her ability and talents all the time, always dropping hints that she knew the Xanthe family well. This shrewdness made Sergio feel uncomfortable and repulsed. Once again, it proved his point of view. Zoella was arrogant, not the type men would like. Compared to Belle, she was far behind."

"By guessing. Zoella saw Sergio's nervous look and could not help laughing out loud. ""Sergio, you don't have to be so nervous. Whether in the army or political circle, the elite of Capital City have a certain share of shops and assets. This is an open secret, and I just happened to say it out loud. Otherwise, can they really live a life of wealth with their meagre salaries?"""

"The expenses of Capital City were higher than any other city. Those elites would run their company, whether in the open or in the dark. The previous governor's son had controlled a lot of real estate projects all over the country and had extorted a lot of money. However, these people's businesses operated secretly and were underground, unlike Harvey Group's business, which was transparent. The elites abused their power for money, which Zoella was clear about."

"Harvey Group was well-connected and was granted the government's protection. Therefore, ordinary companies could not cause harm to the Harvey Group. However, if there was someone influential in politics, like Sergio, helping them, it would be much easier for her to do things. This was Zoella's plan."

"Since the Harvey family had vast connections in Capital City, their businesses in the city were able to carry on. Even if they had an overwhelming advantage, no one could do anything about it."

It was difficult for Zoella to strive in Capital City.

"Connections were essential in business, and the smart Zoella certainly understood that."

"The Xanthe family business was repressed by the Harvey family, but they could only take so much impact. Otherwise, they would not resort to smuggling weapons as a means. "

Zoella had a good idea of what was going on.

"Sergio wanted to revive his business in Capital City. After all, the risk of the petrochemical factory was too high. Yadriel wanted to draw back after they made enough money for the election in a few years. However, if their company could run well, they would discard the petrochemical factory."

That was also his plan.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at guessing. Sergio smiled and said in an icy voice, ""There are certain things that can't be spoken of lightly. Besides, you know that my own matters are getting out of hand. I can't help you."""

"You still regard me as an outsider. Since I'm here today, I have already put the subject of life and death aside. You know that our family both lost to the Harvey family. Your family has gained a firm foothold in the military and political circles. But what about my family? Zoella's eyes turned red when she said this. ""My father died from anger. I am his daughter. What can I do?"""

"Sergio stared at her. Her sadness was real, the hatred in her eyes genuine, but so what? Did she want to drag him into this?"

"Sergio, my company is now a joint company with Jones Group. Although we can't compete with Harvey Group for now, we still have power. Don't underestimate us. Zoella's sad expression lasted only for a short while. Her bright smile returned, and no one could tell any hint of earlier sadness."

Something imperceptible flashed briefly in Sergio's eyes.

What's the point of you saying these? I can't even take care of my family business. How do you expect me to help you with your company? Sergio's eyes were still dubious.

"Now, look, is the economy or politics greater? Of course, it's politics. Those in the business world are most afraid of being involved in politics since it will lead to a disaster. Zoella reminded him."

Sergio's deep eyes gleamed.

How can you be sure that I will help you? He questioned. Why would this woman assume that he would help her to fight against Belle?

"As expected, she had done everything she could."

"Sergio was shocked and somewhat nervous at the same time. If this woman could manage to record Luqman, then would she be recording him too? Thinking of this, he felt his hair stand on end."

"Relax, Sergio. I won't use these despicable methods on you. After all, we used to suffer the same misfortune. Zoella saw through his thoughts and comforted him with a faint smile."

A fierce look shot through Sergio's eyes. This woman was too arrogant and annoying!

"However, Luqman had managed to find her. He was shaken by this!"

"If everyone else was trying their best using all methods available to them, why would he give up?"

"In all fairness, Zoella's conditions were sufficiently tempting. If he refused, it would be akin to giving away this proposal to his enemy. However, if he did agree, who knew what kind of tricks this woman would come up with to deal with the Harvey family. By then, what kind of trouble would he encounter?"

"Hesitation and doubt filled his heart, putting Sergio in a dilemma."

You should know that reputation is crucial to us in the political circle. We can't do anything illegal in the open. His dark and bottomless eyes bored into hers. 

"Zoella smiled. She was not one to be scared off by Sergio's gaze. Raising her eyebrows, she said with confidence, ""Sergio, don't worry. What we need to do is easy. We just want Mr. Xanthe to give us some profits when he's appointed to the role. We are a just and honorable company. Jones Group is a century-old group, isn't that clear enough? Besides, our business is proper, not drug trafficking or gang stuff. If we talk about competition, it will be a competition in the market. Competition is ubiquitous in business."" Zoella's words reassured Sergio a lot. However, he thought for a while and said, ""Well, we don't need to rush this. I will give it some thought."""

"No matter what, he had to stabilize the situation first. He should go back and discuss with Yadriel before making a final decision. Therefore, he gave an ambiguous answer."

"At that point, Zoella felt assured. The two changed the subject and did not bring up this issue again."

"Then, Sergio stood up and took his leave."
