Emmalie feigned deafness and turned to chat with Duncan. "Duncan, I took a fancy to a set of clothes a few days ago and was thinking of buying it. Are you free this weekend?"
Duncan promptly agreed without a second thought. "Sure, I'll pick you up then. You can go wherever you like."
Teri was so incensed that she
nearly ground her teeth to pieces. She couldn't help but remind him, "Duncan, have your forgotten that we have an appointment this weekend! Moreover, it was an arrangement made long ago. Of course, I understand if you want to spend time with your sister, but I've post Only then did Duncan recall that he did indeed have an appointment with Teri,
She had called to inquire about the specific details of that day.
He didn't feel guilty, merely a bit embarrassed
Emmalie pouted. "What's the big deal? Then we can all go together. I can also get a good look at Duncan's girlfriend. Teri. don't you want to see me?"
Naturally, she didn't.
Teri cursed inwardly. Outwardly, she was compelled to put on an appearance of magnanimity. "Of course, that's fine."
She was afraid that if she continued to make a fuss, Duncan Rowland would get angry.
Since the matter had been settled, Emmalie then pestered Duncan to go for a meal.
It was as if she didn't even take his legitimate girlfriend into account.
After the phone call, Teri felt a sense of grievance and anger that she had never experienced in her over twenty years of life, With a last shred of hope, she feigned indifference. Since Duncan and your sister are still busy, I won't disturb you any further. Goodness knows tha She deliberately put on an air of complaint and anger, hoping that Duncan would at least offer her some soothing words.
But she was still disappointed.
The other end merely gave a soft hum. Then I'll hang up. You just go and rest."
Teri stared at the black screen was determined to persevere.

After all, he was the person she had liked for so many years. Now that she finally had a chance, she was relictant to let go so easily.
Emmalie watched as Duncan hung up the phone without hesitation. He felt a bit snug, the corners of his mouth curving up in a fox-
like grin. "Duncan, Teri seems to be angry. What should I do? She doesn't seem to want you to treat me too well. I don't know if she'll hate me in the future."
Duncan smiled helplessly. "Why are you afraid of that? Tin definitely on your side. To me, she's just a suitable candidate for marriage. Don't be afraid. If she bullies you, just tell me."
Emmalie happily clasped his arm. "I knew Brother Duncan would be the best to me."

Meanwhile, Thea and Max were still locked in a standoff.
B 95%
The price offered by Max
was already exorbitant, but Thea remained unyielding. "Max, if this item had been given to me by someone else, I would surely consider your offer. However, this was left to me by Grandpa. I'm sorry, but it's priceless to me. Not only that, I know that each child of the Rowla Max's handsome face darkened to a rather intimidating degree. Then, don't you think you're being a bit too greedy! You already have so many shares in your hands, yet you're still not satisfied? Or are you planning to change the ownership of the Rowland Group and take i His gaze grew extremely dangerous.
Apart from a chilling coldness, there was also a terrifying murderous intent.
Thea didn't even need to doubt that if she were to admit to having such intentions, Max would surely resort to all means to make her vanish completely from Key Biskane.
Regardless of the form it took, the most crucial thing for Max was his position as the chairman of the Rowland Group. She suddenly let out a light chuckle. "Max, why the rush? I haven't finished speaking. Your concerns are precisely what I want to discuss with you. If you d "This way, I'll only have a little over ten percent of the shares in my hands, making me the person with the second-largest shareholding after you, but I won't pose any threat to you. But if you're unwilling. I don't mind employing Nicolas's methods to forcibly acquire the shares held by the other shareholders. I might not be able to do it myself, but big brother, guess if Nicolas can?"
Max Rowland was on the verge of swearing.
He picked up the coffee cup at his side, itching to smash it to the ground.
However, something crossed his mind, and he managed to forcibly suppress his rage.
He countered, "Are you certain you want to provoke me like this
Thea remained fearless. "You have only three days. If the share transfer agreement I desire doesn't appear before me after three days, there will be no room for negotiation." I can afford to bet. It depends on whether you can." Max gritted his teeth tightly, longing to rush forward and throttle her.
She was right. He really didn't dare to take the gamble.
He took a deep breath. "Alright, I'll give this matter careful consideration."
Thea finally got what she wanted, and a smile finally graced her face.
The tactics of coercion and inducement had proven effective.
Before leaving Key Biskane, the contract was delivered to her on the same day.
It was Darwin who came to deliver the item
Thea looked at the contract, a satisfied smile tugging at the corners of her mouth
