Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1119

"You think those sharp-eyed shareholders at the main corporation would approve of you, some wet-behind-the-ears kid with no background? You think you can pull off a scheme like this? Not a chance!"

Florence frowned as she listened.

Bryce, on the other hand, laughed coldly, grabbing Parisa by the head and holding up a contract. "Ms. Tennyson, do you have any idea how long I've been planning to get my hands on your assets? Six whole months! During that time, I let Ludwik push me around while I played the part of the underdog.

All the while, I had detectives in Germinia digging into your financials. I needed to know exactly what I was up against.

Now that I'm in a position to take both your life and your assets, you don't need to worry about your company. Even if the main corporation's shareholders don't recognize Florence, it doesn't matter. I've already enlisted the world's top merger and acquisition experts. Once Florence sells her shares, the rest of the shareholders will fall into disarray, and then I'll stage a hostile takeover.

The name Inko Group will soon be replaced by the global Lutz Group!

How's that for a clever move, using the money I take from you to buy out your company?"

Parisa's face paled. Bryce was more cunning than she had realized, and he had prepared deeply for this.

In the international business arena, cross-border asset transfers are notoriously difficult to reverse. If Bryce managed to move her assets to Amoria Country and get them notarized, recovering them would be nearly impossible for her.

Bryce chuckled darkly, "Don't even think about getting your wealth back, because this trip to Harmonia Country is a one-way ticket for you!"

"Didn't you just say you would let me see my daughter if I signed?" Parisa knew she couldn't force her way out of this; she had to play along.

Plus, just before Florence had knocked her out, she had managed to send a pre-written text message on her phone. If Ludwik saw it, maybe she had a glimmer of hope.

For now, all she could do was wait.

"What are you planning?!"

"I told you, I'm well-versed in pharmaceuticals. To be honest, I have a lab full of unapproved drugs. There's the gas that knocked you out, and there's this pill that makes you compliant!" Florence dangled a white tablet between her fingers.

Parisa tried to pull back, but Florence grabbed her jaw.

With a fierce look, Parisa kicked Florence in the stomach.

"Ah!" Florence screamed, still sensitive from a recent surgery despite having healed. Her face twisted in pain, and she retaliated by kicking Parisa to the ground. "You old witch, you dare to kick me. You're asking for it."

"Enough talk. Swallow this, and you'll do whatever I say!" Florence viciously pinched Parisa's jaw, and Bryce forced the pill into her mouth...
