The businessn who participated in the auction rushed to leave on their horse carriages long ago. Albert, however, still blankly stood in place without budging. I ca to the trade centre together with him, so I didnt leave, silently peering outside from the door, instead.
I heard footsteps approach ; however, I ignored it. Whoever it was halted in their tracks. I turned to see lissa. Like , she watched the roaring wind coiling into the black clouds collected the leaves and spun them as if it was trying to scrunch them. The weather gave humans a clear warning. Nevertheless, from the perspective of everyone, particularly Albert and Madam lissa, the storm in the room before was far more terrifying compared to the typhoon outside.
Its awfully windy. lissa gently stroked her face.
Uhm, I mumbled with a nod. With my gaze on her pretty face, I stated, Youve won. You now possess over fifty percent of the total shares, which ans that you have full control over the shipyard now. With that said, its still not yours. It belongs to Queen Sisi, the businessn and investors at the imperial capital. You did manage to successfully earn a chunk and win everyones attention.
The only reasons lissa helped were for to give her the right to build a factory in addition to hopefully building a friendly relationship with Queen Sisi and the people in the imperial capital. That also helped her create a market to sell to as well as get loans from. She had achieved her goal at this stage by successfully acquiring the right to the shipyard. She didnt look so happy, having said that. The scenery after the storm would be the look of peace on lissas face.
lissa pursed her lips and chuckled: You do not look all smiles, either, no? You gave up so much to crush Albert, and you have succeeded. Albert spent a large sum of money but could not procure the majority of shares. In three more months, he will be bankrupt. He would have to sell all of his assets, at the very least. Henceforward, even his family will be unfortunate. Everybody will take advantage of his misfortune to kick the downed man.
I chuckled, but my smile only lasted for a few seconds. I wasnt happy, indeed. In saying that, it wasnt because I was thinking about Lilia and Ross. I destroyed their life and, therefore, felt sorry for them while loathing myself.
I will be leaving the house I lived in for so long for the imperial capital because of this matter. I also have to be that guys mistress. Do you know how putrid a mans groin slls? I had to get on my knees in front of him to blow him to have ten thousand gold coins for those shares.
Although lissas voice sounded calm, I no longer wanted to listen any further. She made a painful decision, yet didnt look upset. Eventually, she resud, But that is our nature. We are rchants; we do everything we can in our power to obtain what we want. We have to everything we want even if the price is steep. That is proof that we genuinely want it. I made a big sacrifice, but I obtained what I wanted. I am content with that. Obtaining our inco but paying the big price it cancels out in the end. That is called calmness.
I smiled and folded my arms: The imperial capital isnt bad. Its a great place, actually. I believe youll be able to live well and run a successful business there. Youre right, though. Sacrificing everything in exchange for what we want is our nature.
lissa nonchalantly walked out. She was drenched in the blink of an eye. However, she was able to stand steady in the rain and wind despite her small size, yet the large and tough trees swayed in the wind.
Youre different, lissa suddenly shouted to after spinning around. Youre not a businessman. Businessn will stop at nothing to get back their investnt. We give up a lot, but we demand a positive return on investnt. You are not a businessman. What exactly did you co here for?
The life and vigour in lissas gaze shined in spite of the torrential rainfall. I watched her walk into the rain and chuckled.
Ross then ca running up to in panic, stamring, Sir Albert Sir Albert still will not move Lord Lin what do we do? Lord Lin, what, what, what do we do?
