Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1106: Bargaining

"Mr. Keaton, how could you reveal the details of our transaction? Who would dare to collaborate with you in the future?"

Yes, the call was from Joseph.

Due to the news that The Penguin Hotel was sold cheap, The Marsden Family faced significant repercussions. Not only did the stock market hit its limit down, but many firms with ongoing projects with them also called in succession.

Some were merely inquiring about the truth, while others were genuinely concerned that The Marsden Family might go bankrupt, trying to sever all ties to avoid being implicated.

Reluctantly, Joseph was compelled to make this call.

"I didn’t leak this information; I suspect it was someone within your company."

Kyle Keaton didn’t hesitate at all, completely shifting the blame.

"Moreover, admitting that The Penguin Hotel was sold cheap came from your hotel’s former employee. Think carefully about how she knew about this."

As expected of a master manipulator, Joseph found himself doubting whether the employees had leaked the information after just a few words.

However, Joseph quickly realized that the initial report only mentioned The Penguin Hotel being sold cheap, with no other information.

It was the large group of ’netizens’ online constantly posting about the impending collapse of The Marsden Family that caused the situation to deteriorate.

So either this information was released by Kyle Keaton, or he was the mastermind behind the orchestrated media frenzy.

"Don’t play word games with me, or the contract from yesterday will be voided."

Joseph was so angry that he couldn’t help but show emotion in front of Kyle Keaton.

"Indeed, our previously signed contract allows for a five-day reflection period. But are you sure you want to cancel? It doesn’t affect me much, but it would be disastrous for your Marsden Family."

Joseph nearly lost control and smashed the phone.

As Kyle Keaton said, the ones urgently needing to fulfill the contract are not him but The Marsden Family.

Only after fulfilling the contract and receiving the cash from the sale of The Penguin Hotel can their projects continue.

Even if they suddenly change their mind and don’t proceed with the deal at the agreed price, the impact of The Penguin Hotel being sold cheap won’t disappear, only causing a loss of the incoming funds.

This dire situation was something Joseph never imagined before.

It seems the descendant of the Kanes’ methods really surpass Kane’s!

"What do you want ultimately?"

At this point in the negotiation, Joseph could almost confirm that the man before him was the mastermind behind the news reports this morning!

"You’re overestimating me. I just arrived in Desrozin City and still have many connections I’m unfamiliar with."

Kyle Keaton didn’t admit anything.

Joseph was almost breaking down with fury: "What do you want to withdraw those reports? Just say it!"

Although the Kane Group had no involvement in the hotel and catering industry, they owned shares in many media companies.

So if they wanted to make a fuss about this, even The Marsden Family couldn’t resist.

This was the root of Joseph’s refusal to directly confront The Kane Group before!

Hearing Joseph’s almost hysterical tone, Kyle Keaton felt he had almost achieved his goal.

So he simply set aside the thought of teasing Joseph, "I heard that Mr. Joseph has a jewelry collection called Sea Wave Heart Language?"
