Chapter 1759 One Million

Until the food was served, the atmosphere in the private room was heavy, and no one broke the silence.

Emery kept making tiny moves under the table, expressing that the atmosphere was too depressing.

Meanwhile, I thought that it was quite normal, as there was always the calm before the storm.

Finally, the table was full of exquisite dishes, and the waiters exited the room.

Although the food on the table looked delicious, no one paid any attention to it. On such occasions, the

food was not the main point.

Casting a brief look at Nathaniel, I tried to figure out his intentions. Nevertheless, he was eating

gracefully and only showed a hint of impatience when Nora placed some food on his plate.

It seemed that Nathaniel was also a germaphobe, just like Ashton.

Even though Nora had a strong sense of pride, she chose to suppress her irritation. Instead of eating the

food that Nathaniel had rejected, she threw it on another plate.

In my eyes, the relationship between them was pretty weird. Despite being together all the time,

Nathaniel was not even willing to eat the food placed on his plate by Nora.

“Since you’re here, name your price.” Ashton cut straight to the point and broke the awkward silence.

On the surface, we were supposed to decide the ownership of the shares that originally belonged to me

through the meeting. Besides, there was already a conflict between John and Ashton when the former

rejected the latter’s decision in the company, so there was indeed no need for customary pleasantries.

Both of them were raring to fight as if they had really turned against each other.

Of course, they were just acting in front of Nathaniel.

“Are you sure?” John smirked. “In that case, I’ll be frank with you, then. Since you were a part of our

family before this, I’ll give you a discount. One million.”

One million for the shares of a global listed company? Since when was John so kind to Ashton? I thought

to myself.

“Stop fooling around,” responded Ashton impatiently with a hint of suspicion in his voice. His reaction

was the same as the rest of us.

As expected, John always acted indecently on solemn occasions and acted even more improperly on

casual occasions.

“I’m not fooling around. One million. If you don’t agree, I’ll leave with my wife right now. Do you think I’m

here to have dinner with you?” In an instant, John’s face turned grim. He looked as though he was

serious about what he said.

In the past, Ashton could have given John a taste of his own medicine and teased him back, but

obviously, he could not do that in front of Nathaniel now.

Left with no choice, he could only compromise. “Fine. Since you proposed it, I’ll agree to it. I’ll buy the

equity that originally belonged to Scarlett with one million. After signing the equity transfer contract,

we’ve nothing to do with each other anymore.”

“Wait.” John lifted his hand. Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled arrogantly. “You got the wrong idea.

What I mean is that I’ll give you one million, and you have to leave both Fuller Corporation and Letty.

Also, you’re not allowed to appear in front of us in the future.”

As if that was not humiliating enough, he leaned against the chair and added, “That’s how much you’re

worth.”

Hearing that, I could not help but feel impressed at how good John was at teasing people.

Of course, I could not afford to give up on such a good opportunity. Pretending to be in a tight spot, I

chimed in, “John, please don’t do this. I’ll never leave Ashton. Can you stop fighting with him for the sake

of your nephews?”
