Chapter 1708

Renee's rare praise of Jovan made him feel uneasy, and he shrugged." Don't say that. Briar and | are the same

kind of people-we'll do whatever it takes to get what we want. So... she and | are now allies, and I'm happy we

are." "You're stubborn, Jovan. | was wrong about you." Renee was angry at Jovan for deciding to work with Briar.

She didn't want to talk to Briar either, so she stood up and clumsily made her way out.

Jovan didn't go after her or explain-he just let her sulk, thinking badly of him.

Briar crossed her arms and watched as Renee staggered and nearly fell several times as she walked away. Then,

she turned and said to Jovan, "I thought you were a passionate person, but | guess you aren't that nice either

since you didn't go comfort her or help her when she almost fell. | finally understand why she refuses to let

Stefan go even though you've tried your best to win her over; if it were me, | would have chosen Stefan too."

Jovan glared at Briar. "Don't talk about things you don't understand. Do you really think we're friends?" "No, |

don't flatter myself like that." Hostility gleamed in Briar's eyes as she sneered, "We're just exchanging profit-you

have something | want, and | have something you want. We are the same, and we're willing to get our hands

dirty to get what we want." "I'm glad you realize it." Jovan nodded and looked at the sky, then said finally, "So,

can | check my goods now?" "You've got to showyour sincerity first." Briar was very cautious, and didn't

want to suffer any losses.

Jovan frowned and hesitated briefly. "I've not gained a firm foothold in Hunt Enterprise yet. I'm just the

company's acting president, so I still need to hold a board meeting for votes if | want to make a decision." "So, |

still can't see your sincerity then?" Briar raised her brows. "I can wait.

After all, you're not in a hurry, so why should | be?" "How about this? I'll transfer five percent of my shares of

Hunt Enterprise to you. I'm sure that shows enough sincerity on my part." Jovan owned twenty percent of the

shares of Hunt Enterprise, and was one of the largest shareholders alongside Stefan, Stefan's father, and

Timothy. If he transferred five percent of his shares to Briar, he wouldn't be the fourth largest shareholder

anymore, and would have less power in Hunt Enterprise as well as Beach City. It was the greatest sincerity he

could show.

Briar sneered in disdain. "You want to bribewith a mere five percent of the shares? Am | that worthless to

you? Plus, | don't want money. | would have led a worry-free life as the wife of Stefan's brother if | wanted money.

Why would | go through so much trouble?"

Jovan slowly clenched his fists. "I know you want Stefan, but | don't have the ability to make you a member of

the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise. The members of the board of directors are all seniors, including my

grandpa and uncle, so they'll definitely object to it if they learn of your identity."

Briar did not compromise. "I cto you because | knew this wouldn't be easy to do. After all, what I'm offering

is very tempting, right?" Her face was ruined, and she had no power or influence. It was a social death, and even

the beggars on the street might despise her. There was no way she could get Stefan like this, so she had to make

a comeback with a higher status.
