I Will Live For Myself  Vol.2

Chapter 56: When the tree falls, the Monkeys scatter

Jacob nodded and smiled, "We've been bullied by him for so long, now we finally have a chance to vent our anger."

"But... I'm afraid he won't see us, will he?"

“When we went there before, the security guards stopped us and wouldn’t let us in.”

"Even my dad can't get into the JM Group now."

“Even my second and third sister, who hold positions in the group, were prevented from working by Jerry’s security guards.”

"Hmph! Jerry has quite the nerve." Lele sneered, "He won't even let his own sister, who holds a higher position at the company, go to work."

"No wonder JM Group has been having so many problems lately. Not only has its business come to a standstill, but many deals that were agreed upon have also fallen through. It turns out that Jerry has cut off his own right-hand man."

"I'm afraid your family is also secretly causing trouble for the JM Group, isn't it?"

“Yes.” Jacob said innocently, “Dad and my sisters wanted to force Brother Jerry to compromise through this method.”

"No matter how chaotic the group is right now, Brother Jerry has no intention of compromising."

“Even after this happened, he didn’t take the initiative to communicate with family.”

"I'm worried for him. Is it really that hard to apologize?"

"Hmph! Arrogant and conceited. Other CEOs would love to place their family members as confidants so they can better control the company and have the whole family help them when trouble comes." Lele tossed her hair and said with a look of disdain, "But he. He treats his own family members like a stranger."

After thinking for a moment, she gave a mocking smile: "But it's fine, the more stupid he is, the more it shows how right my choice not to marry him was."

"Lele is the best." Jacob patted Lele's head: "When I become a big star in the future, I will take care of you."

"Okay." Lele nestled affectionately in Jacob's arms.

…

At this moment, JM Group was unusually desolate; there were hardly any cars in front of the gate.

Even on the main street in front of the building, very few cars passed by.

This is very unusual, considering that JM Group is located in the city center.

Logically speaking, there should be a lot of traffic.

Perhaps everyone is afraid of getting into trouble and is deliberately avoiding the JM Group.

“In the past, JM Group was always bustling with customers, with a bunch of companies vying to come and discuss cooperation. But now…” Lele smiled contemptuously: “When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.”

[A/N: “When the tree falls, the Monkeys scatter” : When a influential figure or leader lose power then his follower also decrease or he lose support]

"Even passersby dare not walk by, let alone come to discuss cooperation."

Jacob's eyes were also full of disdain as he sighed, "Big-Brother is too foolish. If he had treated us better, he wouldn't have been in this situation. Now no-one wants to help him."

“My eldest sister is still trying to persuade our parents to help him, saying that after all, he is also the family.”

"Don't pity him." Lele said with a pained expression, "You're just too kind. He bullied you so much before, why are you still speaking up for him?"

Jacob put on an innocent look, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. As the two walked to the front of the building, several security guards came up and recognized them.

The head security guard said in a deep voice, "Go away, go away. Our boss ordered that you are not allowed to come in."

"Hmph!" Lele said arrogantly, "He didn't want to see me before, but now he has to beg to see me."

"Go tell Jerry that the president of the Sen Group has arrived and ask him to come down and greet her."

She had the confidence and pride to back it up, after all, Jerry was besieged on all sides and embroiled in trouble, desperately needing someone to help him.

Whether it's asking the Sen Group for help or begging the Miller Family for forgiveness.

He had to obediently come down to pick her and Jacob.

"Tch...you're too confident. President Miller doesn't want to see you at all." The head security guard said disdainfully, "You'd better not humiliate yourself."

"You think you're so great, security guard?" Lele said sarcastically. "Don't you know that the JM Group is on the verge of collapse?"

"Now your group's stock has plummeted, a bunch of collaborations have fallen through, and that idiot Jerry has also provoked the White Dog and Director Mohan."

"He should be asking both of us for help."

"If you don't believe me, just tell him, and he'll come begging to us like a puppy."

Upon hearing this, the security guards' expressions turned rather unpleasant. They were all subordinates brought by Black Wolf.

At first, he thought he could develop some skills stealthily, work as a security guard, and earn over ten thousand yuan a month—how carefree!’

He might even be able to hook up with a beautiful white-collar worker from JM Group. But unexpectedly, just a few days later, Jerry provoked both the White Dog and Director Mohan. They had also heard a lot of rumors and thought that Jerry might be doomed.

They might actually need these two people to do something for them. The head security guard hesitated for a moment before calling Jerry.

When Jerry received the call, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. He naturally knew that Lele and Jacob had come to show off their power.

He was about to wave the security guards away, but when he saw the stock market page on the computer, a mocking glint flashed in his eyes: "Bring them to my office."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and dialed Rose's number again.

"What's wrong?" Rose rolled her eyes at Jerry and said, "I'm busy cleaning up your mess, don't bother me if there's nothing wrong."

“Do you know how many people in the company are currently feeling anxious and uneasy?”

"You'll play along with me in a little act," Jerry grinned.

…

On the other side, when Lele and Jacob heard Jerry tell them to go up, they both smiled smugly.

"Am I right? Your Boss Miller is in dire straits right now and can't wait to ask me for help." Lele glanced smugly at the security guards: "Take my advice and resign as soon as possible to avoid being implicated."

"Sigh... Jerry is such a terrible chairman." Jacob sighed, looking worried. "He not only caused trouble himself, but he also dragged so many people down with him."

He looked at the security guards seriously and said, "Why don't you resign and come work for the RM Group?"

He didn't care about the security guards in front of him at all. He just wanted to disgust Jerry and make them the scapegoats to tarnish Jerry's image in the media.

"You don't need to worry about that," the head security guard sneered. He is one of Black Wolf's men; wherever Black Wolf is, he is there too.

The two were then taken to the front of Jerry's office.

Lele pushed the door open without any politeness and said with a teasing look, "I thought President Miller was in a real bind and busy putting out fires, but I didn't expect him to be sitting leisurely in his office."

"It seems that I underestimated you."

Jacob's gaze towards Jerry was filled with hatred: "Brother Jerry, why do you suddenly want to see us again?"

"Are you planning to go back to the family?"

“He should be.” Lele sneered: “He dares to provoke Director Mohan and White Dog. I really don’t know what’s between his ears.”

[A/N: Between ears : Head/Brain/Mind]

Jerry looked at the two of them with interest, picked up his thermos and took a sip: "What do you want to see me about? Tell me quickly."

His attitude was exactly how a leader would treat a subordinate. Upon hearing this, Lele immediately became furious.  It's as if they're the ones asking Jerry for a favor.

She sneered, "Jerry, are you still going to be so stubborn?"

"You're about to die, do you know that?" Her voice grew harsher.

Jacob said hypocritically, "If you come home with me now and beg for our parents' and sisters' forgiveness, maybe we can help you."

"Don't force us to take action against you, or you'll face consequences you can't even imagine."

Jerry laughed: "Where did these stray dogs come from, barking like that? I knew I shouldn't have let you come up here."

"If there's nothing else, get lost."

The two looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes. Everyone knew that Jerry was about to die, but he remained remarkably calm.

Does he have something to rely on?

Just then, Rose walked in and said in a light voice, "President Miller, the Pumera Salt Lake stock you told me to buy has increased more than tenfold, and we've already made over 100 million."

"Didn't you say last time that there was news about developing salt lakes, and that Pumera Salt Lake's stock would rise more than thirty times?"

Upon hearing this, Lele and Jacob were shocked and looked at Rose in disbelief.

Jerry's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Miss Paper!"

Chapter 57: The Bait

Rose's face turned pale: "I'm sorry, I didn't see anyone in the office."

"Since you're busy, I'll come back later."

Lele hurriedly said, "Wait... what Stock and salt lake? Explain yourself clearly."

"It's nothing." Rose smiled awkwardly. "You might have misheard me. I didn't say anything about a salt lake."

After saying that, she strode away with her long legs.

Lele and Jacob were dumbfounded. They finally understood why Jerry was so calm.

It turns out he made over 100 million yuan by multiplying his investment more than tenfold in the stock market!

Moreover, Jerry has inside information that Pumera Salt Lake's shares will continue to rise, increasing by more than thirty times.

With money this easy to make, no wonder Jerry doesn't have time to worry about the White Dog and Director Mohan.

"Explain yourself clearly." Lele placed her delicate hand on Jerry's desk, her attitude forceful: "What stock and salt lake? What is the inside information?"

"J-jerry, you clearly knew inside information, why don't you tell us?"

"We can make money together." Jacob's eyes were also filled with greed as he gritted his teeth and said, "B-Big Brother, aren't you being too selfish?"

"There is clearly a big opportunity to make money, but you never thought of your relatives." A hint of mockery flashed in Jerry's eyes; it seemed the two had already taken the bait.

However, since he was going to play his part, he said with a stern face, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"This is a joint training program between JM Group and the Finance Department of Kingsland. It's just a simulated investment program for students, so don't take it seriously."

Hearing Jerry's feeble rebuttal, Lele laughed heartily, thinking she had seen through Jerry's thoughts: "Pretending, still pretending even now."

"Jerry, you insidious little man, you just can't stand to see others do well."

"Only you can make money, we can't!"

Jacob nodded heavily as well: "That's really unfair."

"Han Dong, come to my office and kick them out." Jerry was too lazy to waste any more words with them and directly dialed Han Dong's number.

Lele sneered, "Isn't it just that you accidentally got inside information and made a fortune?"

"No matter how much money you make, no matter how rich you are, you can't stop the White Dog and Director Mohan."

"I'm warning you, having money and having power are not the same thing."

"Money must yield to power!"

"So?" Jerry looked at Lele calmly.

"Hopeless!" Lele laughed in anger: "Then you can stay here and wait to die!"

"Jacob, let's go!"

Jacob nodded, giving Jerry a mocking look: "You'd better watch yourself."

Jerry watched the two figures leave, a mocking sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

‘The fish is hooked.’

Rose walked in, looking shocked, and said, "I checked Pumera Salt Lake, and indeed, its stock price has skyrocketed more than tenfold in just three days."

"Jerry, do you really have inside information?"

"No," Jerry said smugly, "of course I discovered it using my own intelligence."

"I suppose you just discovered this yourself? You didn't buy in at the low point at all," Rose said with a light smile. "This stock has already attracted a lot of attention."

"But many people suspect this is a setup, and it has already reached its peak, so it's not very popular anymore."

"I'm afraid Lele and Jacob won't be so easily fooled."

"I might not be able to fool the Miller Family, but that idiot Lele will definitely be fooled, because the Sen Group is desperately short of money." Jerry smiled confidently:

 "Miss Paper, you underestimate me too much."

"I bought in at the lowest point."

"Huh?" Rose looked shocked: "You really made over a hundred million?"

"No." Jerry shook his head.

“I knew it.” Rose smiled. “How could you be so impulsive as to invest a million in an uncertain stock?”

Jerry's lips curled into a smug smile: "I've earned 1.3 billion, and it's still going up."

"What?" Rose's beautiful eyes widened in shock: "Over a billion?"

Jerry clicked the mouse a few times, gesturing for Rose to look at the computer: "Here."

"Huh?" Rose stood there dumbfounded.

She knew Jerry had a strong business sense, but she didn't expect it to be this strong.

Everyone thought Jerry was dead.

Jerry earned over a billion yuan while chatting and laughing.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight." Jerry stood up and ruffled Rose's hair.

…

On the other side, Jacob and Lele looked excited, as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Investigate, investigate immediately." Lele said excitedly, "Go to my company office right away, and don't let anyone else know about this yet."

"Let's quickly find out if this Salt Lake Group will really surge more than thirty times, just like Jerry said."

"If prices can surge to that level, then we should act quickly."

Jacob hesitated and said, "Lele, I just checked, and Pumera Salt Lake has indeed increased more than tenfold in just three days."

"But it's impossible to increase by more than thirty times, right?"

"It's probably already at its peak."

Lele calmed down and said, word by word, "Let's study this carefully. If it's true, we absolutely can't miss this opportunity."

The two went to Lele's office and studied the News,Publication and company financial history of that salt lake.

"Strange... It's clearly risen so sharply, yet there's so little information about this stock online." Lele frowned, looking puzzled. "It hasn't even made it onto any of the hot topics lists."

"Is everyone blind?"

"This is not normal."

"Ah... then, could it be fake?" Jacob asked in surprise, "A surge of more than ten times in three days should cause a sensation in the stock market."

Lele frowned, glanced at Jacob, and sighed.

His business acumen is practically nonexistent.

She couldn't help but recall the time she had discussed the stock market with Jerry. Jerry's insights and foresight regarding the stock market amazed her. Compared to Jerry, Jacob is like a primary school student compared to a financial tycoon.

‘If only I hadn't fallen out with Jerry.’

Remembering something Jerry had said before, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Something unusual must be a sign of something sinister!"

"Such a promising stock is going unnoticed, which means someone is deliberately suppressing its popularity!"

"This stock may be seen as a means of bribery by some important figures."

"It could also be an exchange of interests within the upper echelons, where others are not allowed to get involved."

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked blankly, his eyes revealing a clear sense of stupidity.

Lele couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Don't you understand?"

Jacob said with a wronged expression, "I'm sorry, Lele, I've disappointed you."

He then lowered his head, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Lele couldn't help but soften her heart: "You're in the entertainment industry, so it's normal that you don't know much about this."

"The fact that salt lake stocks are so soaring indicates that mining is very likely imminent, but the news has been suppressed and not announced, precisely to prevent others from profiting from it."

"Moreover, mining requires the consent and support of various officials, so the huge profits that increase dozens of times can cleanly fall into the pockets of some high-ranking officials."

Suddenly, she stopped speaking.

She suddenly realized that if this news leaked out, she probably wouldn't make any money even if she entered the market now.

This is because it allows senior executives of Pumera Salt Lake to announce the news in advance, attract large-scale investment, and reap the benefits of later investors.

‘If I were to tell Jacob, he would most likely persuade the Miller Family to invest as well.’

The Miller Family members are definitely not good talkers; the news will surely get out.

It won't be long before the whole city knows about it.

At that time, Pumera Salt Lake will definitely start to decline.

She smiled and said, "But let's wait and see for a few more days. If it continues to rise, then we'll make a decisive move."

"If you suddenly and recklessly invest, you'll end up being the one left holding the bag at a high price, which would be disastrous."

"Yes, Lele is right." Jacob nodded as if he understood. "It's better to be careful, lest we fall into a trap."

"You absolutely must not tell anyone about this. It's just the two of us who know." Lele earnestly instructed, "If it gets out, it's fine if everyone makes a profit, but if they get scammed, we'll be the ones who suffer."

“I understand.” A glint of greed flashed in Jacob’s eyes, but he nodded innocently: “I would never say anything out of turn, even if you killed me.”

"Well, I have some things to take care of at the company, so I have to go now." Lele was eager to buy immediately, so she came up with an excuse to send Jacob away.

This was exactly what Jacob wanted to hear, and he smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer."

Chapter 58: Greedy and Foolish

After Jacob left, Lele hurriedly took out her phone to make a call.

After making several phone calls and using connections, she finally got through to a low-level official in the Pumera Salt Lake area.

"Hello, I am Lele, the chairman of the Sen Group in Kingsland. Is there any news about mining operations at Pumera Salt Lake recently?" Lele's voice was very polite.

A flattering voice came from the other end of the phone: "Well, I don't know either. I'm just a low-level employee, and I haven't heard any news."

"No news?" Lele's expression brightened.

"Yes." The person on the other end of the phone said, puzzled, "Pumera Salt Lake has been shelved for a long time because of disagreements among the leaders, and it is estimated that it will not be developed in the short term."

"Okay, thank you." Lele suppressed her excitement and hung up the phone.

She then stood up excitedly and walked to the French windows: "I initially suspected it was Jerry's trick, but the news about Stock and Salt Lake is so well hidden."

"This suggests that it might indeed be a secret deal involving high-ranking figures."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile happily, and said with a smug look, "I'm really lucky to have overheard this news. Let me get a piece of the pie too."

"Jerry, you idiot, you can't even keep this kind of information a secret."

"But you're really quite capable; you managed to find out such confidential information." Lele said with some regret.

‘If I hadn't fallen out with Jerry, I would have already learned this news from him and made tens of millions.’

However, it's not too late to buy now.

Without hesitation, she notified the finance department to transfer the 60 million yuan from the sales into her own account.

She then opened the buy interface, thought for a moment, and bought 60 million without hesitation.

"I hope it won't disappoint me." Lele said expectantly, "If it continues to rise tomorrow, I'll borrow money to continue investing."

At that moment, the office door was pushed open. Lele's father walked in, his face full of anger.

He glared at Lele and said in a deep voice, "I heard from the finance department that you transferred that 60 million into your account. Didn't you lend it to the group? Why did you suddenly transfer it back?"

"The 60 million you provided just solved the group's urgent problem, but how come you've transferred it back again after only a few days?"

"Don't you know that the group is facing a severe cash shortage right now?"

Looking at her anxious father, Lele smiled confidently: "Dad, do you believe that I can turn 60 million into 600 million within ten days?"

Mr.Sen was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Lele: "You, what did you say? Turn 60 million into 600 Million, 10 times in 10 days?"

“That’s right.” Lele said confidently, “It might be more than ten times.”

"Are you crazy?" Lele's father roared in fury.

"Since JM Group stopped investing in Sen Group, all banks have cut off our loans, and we have been forced to use our working capital to repay loans."

"Moreover, many partners are frantically demanding payment, and the group's working capital is almost gone."

"At a time like this, you're still going to waste so much money on nonsense?"

His finger trembled as he pointed at Lele: "You've been fooled!"

"Don't rush." ​​Lele calmly analyzed Pumera Salt Lake's stock with her father.

Lele's father's expression changed from anger to shock, and then to greed.

"If it's true, then we've really hit the jackpot." He exclaimed with a look of amazement, "How did you suddenly notice this stock?"

Lele looked smug, making no mention of the fact that she got the information from Jerry, but instead attributing the credit to her daughter's intelligence: "Don't underestimate your daughter's business talent."

"I can see through any of the slightest changes in the stock market."

"Hahaha! You've grown up, you've grown up!" Lele's Father laughed proudly. "The Sen Group will depend on you from now on."

"Luckily, you didn't marry Jerry back then. My daughter is so outstanding, You will definitely have many more top-tier young men pursuing you in the future."

"By then, Jerry won't even have time to regret it."

Lele smiled awkwardly: "Of course."

Meanwhile, Jacob went home and told his family about it. He even patted his chest and claimed that he discovered it himself.

Robert looked excited: "I didn't expect you to be interested in the stock market. I've never heard you mention it before."

The second sister also looked approving: "I follow the stock market every day, but I never noticed this dark horse. I didn't expect Jacob to be so amazing that he actually noticed it."

Jacob continued his analysis: "According to my analysis, the surge in Salt Lake's stock price is so exaggerated..."

He then explained Lele's analysis to the Miller Family again. The Miller Family was astonished by that.

"My God, no wonder they're not famous. It turns out it's all about the deals made by high-ranking figures."

"Jacob, you are amazing! You actually thought of this."

Jacob smiled modestly and said, "It's all thanks to my parents and sisters for teaching me."

"Hahaha!" Robert excitedly patted Jacob on the shoulder: "Jacob is so outstanding, the RM Group really has a worthy successor."

"If Jacob's analysis is true, we can make at least several hundred million this time."

"Yes, I predict that Pumera Salt Lake's stock will rise more than ten times," Jacob said confidently.

"I thought Jerry, that ingrate, had the best business acumen in our family, but I didn't expect Jacob to be just as good." Laxmi said with a doting expression, "That ingrate can go wherever he wants."

"It has nothing to do with us anymore."

“Indeed.” Third Sister Khushi snorted coldly: “Just like this time, Jacob was able to notice this stock, while that good-for-nothing was still deeply involved in the crisis of Director Mohan and White Dog.”

"Jacob can help us make money, but that good-for-nothing will only drag us down."

"I have over 50 million yuan. I originally wanted to buy ancient paintings, but unfortunately, Brother Jerry snatched them away." Jacob's voice was excited. "But it's okay, I can use this money to buy this stock."

“Although Jacob is right, we cannot act rashly, because a price increase of more than ten times is already extremely exaggerated.” The second sister said coldly, “I’m afraid we have already reached the peak.”

Robert nodded solemnly: "The RM Group can't afford to gamble right now."

Before Jacob could say anything more, Robert said with a grim expression, "Jacob, the group is also being affected by that beast Jerry. The banks have not only cut off our loans, but are also forcing us to repay them."

"Transfer the 50 million over first, don't invest it recklessly."

"The RM Group is our core business, and we must first safeguard it."

...

On the other side, inside a magnificent villa, a dozen distinguished middle-aged men were laughing and toasting each other.

Among them were several foreigners with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes.

"Since the news was released, it has attracted more than 10 billion yuan in investment."

"If those people hadn't been so clever, our trap might not have succeeded."

"In a few more days, we can close the net."

Everyone laughed and toasted.

Someone frowned and asked, "Several accounts from Kingsland City, Manhattan Province, Lionsgate, bought shares worth more than 100 million yuan three days ago. They have already increased more than tenfold and earned 1.3 billion yuan."

"Besides us, only a few accounts from Kingsland made the purchases in advance."

“I had someone investigate, but that person was very cautious, and we couldn’t find any information about him at all.”

"We did it so discreetly, how did he find out in advance?"

"I'm afraid this person from Kingsland will take a significant share of our profits."

The blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man in the main seat said in a deep voice, "Never mind, our project is worth hundreds of billions, a difference of a few billion won't make a difference."

"Besides, once we start operating, he might be reluctant to sell, and even lose the initial hundred million or so." Everyone smiled and nodded.

The blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man continued, "Keep spreading rumors in secret to attract more people to buy Pumera Salt Lake's stock, and we can start selling it too."

"After the price drops to a certain level, release the news about the development of the salt lake to attract some fools to buy at the bottom."

Chapter 59: Rhys Family

Jerry arrived at the underground parking lot.

Black Wolf and the three Traffic Light Trio surrounded him.

In the private area of ​​the underground parking lot of JM Building, twelve professional bodyguards dressed in suits and sunglasses stood.

It was also equipped with three bulletproof Humvees.

Upon seeing Jerry, the twelve professional bodyguards immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Boss."

The leader stepped forward and stood quietly in front of Jerry, head bowed.

Jerry took the initiative to extend his hand, and he then extended both hands to shake hands with Jerry: "Hello, President Miller, I am No. 107 from Black Dragon. You can call me by my number or by my real name, David Ruth Pravu. Please let my team and I take charge of your security duties."

[A/N: Black Dragon : A Organization who provides securities/Bodyguards]

Jerry nodded, glanced at the bodyguards standing ramrod straight, and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay."

He looked at Black Wolf and said with a smile, "These people, Are all reliable?"

“Reliable.” Black Wolf nodded solemnly.

“This is a world-renowned security group; White Dog will never ever be able to get near you.”

"Moreover, everyone here is a seasoned veteran, having participated in security operations for many important figures, and all of them have gun licenses and are equipped with handguns."

David nodded respectfully: "The group provides each of us with high-value insurance and has strict management regulations. We will guarantee your safety with our lives."

Jerry nodded: "Okay, I'm going to a banquet anyway, come with me."

David nodded, walked to the bulletproof Hummer, and opened the car door for Jerry.

Black Wolf smiled and introduced, "This bulletproof Hummer was purchased from Black Dragon Group on your orders. This... it's ridiculously expensive, 20 million per vehicle, but it's reliable and military-grade."

"Bulletproof and blastproof, even if hit by dozens of grenades, it can ensure the safety of the people in the car."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Black Wolf, you've become my housekeeper." Jerry said with a smile.

"Don't mention it. If it weren't for you, I, Black Wolf, would still be delivering takeout." Black Wolf laughed heartily, then tried to get into another Hummer.

"You stay at the company," Jerry said in a deep voice, "to protect Miss Paper's safety."

Although the white dog's main target is Jerry, and he wouldn't dare to cause trouble at JM Group, he might still send some thugs to annoy him.

“Okay.” Black Wolf paused for a moment, then nodded.

Jerry got into the car, and a comfortable breeze of cool air hit him.

To ensure the employer's comfort, the Hummer's air conditioning and air circulation system are on 24 hours a day, with no regard for fuel consumption.

A convoy consisting of twelve bodyguards and three bulletproof Hummers set off in a grand procession.

All for the sake of protecting Jerry's safety. However, Jerry also paid a considerable price; a bodyguard's daily wage was as high as 100,000 yuan.

Twelve bodyguards cost 1.2 million. He signed a one-month bodyguard contract in one go, spending 36 million. But compared to life, this amount of money is nothing.

Half an hour later, we arrived at a magnificent villa.

A plaque with the letter Rhys hangs high above the villa's main gate.

This is the residence of the Rhys family, one of the most powerful families in Kingsland.

The Rhys family is a well-known large family in Kingsland with assets of nearly 100 billion yuan, involved in industries such as real estate, pharmaceuticals, and furniture decoration. It can be considered a behemoth.

There's a saying that goes, "If the Rhys family stomped their feet three times, the entire southern region would tremble."

Jerry smiled slightly: "The Rhys family."

He knew very well that the Rhys family had invited him over; they were simply eyeing his JM Group.

He originally didn't want to attend the banquet, but in order to stabilize public opinion and to keep JM Group's partners in line, he came anyway.

The main purpose was also to send a signal to the outside world that Jerry was not worried about the threat from the white dog at all.

At this moment, countless luxury cars drove into the Rhys family villa. Countless elegantly dressed people got off the bus.

These are people that ordinary people would never even see, no matter how much they beg, but today, they are everywhere here.

Several key members of the Rhys family greeted them in front of the main building. Jerry got out of the car surrounded by bodyguards.

However, the Rhys family leaders seemed not to see him at all, leaving him standing aside for a full minute.

He frowned, ignoring the attentive hostess beside him, and calmly surveyed the scene.

Lucien Rhys, the third brother of the Rhys family, then greeted him with a big smile: "President Miller, you've arrived? Please come this way."

"By the way, bodyguards are not allowed to enter the banquet hall. Please understand."

After saying that, he hurriedly scolded the hostess: "Hurry up and welcome President Miller in."

"Excuse me, there are too many guests. I'll offer you a toast and apologize later." Lucien didn't even look at Jerry before going to greet the other guests.

Although the guests were all important figures, there were still distinctions of rank among them. Jerry, the chairman of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, was among the top three guests.

Moreover, it's obvious to everyone that Jerry is also one of the main guests invited to the Rhys family's banquet today.

However, the Rhys family seemed completely indifferent to Jerry.

Lucien didn't even bother with basic pleasantries when dealing with someone of Jerry's stature. Instead, he treated Jerry like an ordinary guest, casually exchanging a few words before letting him in.

This attitude makes one think that Jerry couldn't withstand the pressure from the white dog and came to beg the Rhys family for help. The way everyone looked at Jerry now carried a hint of mockery.

Having offended the white dog, Jerry is probably desperate and has come to the Rhys family for help.

The Rhys family seemed to regard him as a plague and were unwilling to help him. With this in mind, everyone deliberately distanced themselves from Jerry.

Jerry didn't care. The Rhys family's actions were simply because they thought he was eager to ask them for help, so they deliberately ignored him, hoping he would take the initiative to ask them for help.

This way, the Rhys family can extract even greater benefits. At that moment, he frowned and spotted several figures.

Robert was also in the banquet hall with his second and third sisters. Robert looked at Jerry and snorted coldly.

Second sister Konika also asked with a mocking expression, "Why are you here too?"

Jerry ignored them and turned to leave. But Lele walked over from behind, arm in arm with Jacob.

Lele sneered, "President Miller, what are you doing here? Begging the Rhys family to save your dog's life?"

"Unfortunately, your dog's life seems to be worthless, and the Rhys family has no intention of saving you."

The shares of Pumera Salt Lake that she bought have risen a lot, and now she speaks with great confidence.

"Brother Jerry... Why are you acting like a rat in the street?" Jacob said with a worried expression; "Why don't you just go home?"

Jerry glanced at the two of them coldly: "Get out of my way."

"Are you furious?" Third Sister Khushi laughed contemptuously. "Jacob is right. You're like a rat crossing the street now, hated by everyone."

"You should be secretly happy that the Rhys family invited you into the banquet."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding guests cast mocking glances at them. In most people's eyes, Jerry was indeed practically a rat in the street.

After all, nobody wants to mess with that mad dog, the white dog. Jerry remained expressionless, gave a cold laugh, and ignored the others' mockery.

He already understood the Rhys family's purpose in inviting the Miller Family and Lele over.

It has three layers of meaning.

First, he couldn't help but argue with the Miller Family and others, and the Rhys family stepped in, allowing him to embarrass the Miller Family and others and demonstrate the Rhys family's strength.

Secondly, if a fight breaks out, the Rhys family can also take the opportunity to settle things with the white dog and get a favor from him.

Third, if he can restrain himself, he can also provoke and make himself think of seeking refuge with the Rhys family to get through this calamity.

The Miller Family, however, were complacent, believing that the Miller Family members held a higher status than themselves.

What they didn't expect was that they were merely pawns used by the Rhys family to influence them.

With just a thought from the Rhys family, they could lose all face. Jerry smiled faintly, ignoring the ridicule and alienation from the crowd, and quietly sat down at the table to eat.

Upon seeing this, several key members of the Rhys family came to the meeting room to discuss the matter.

"This kid is really calm, he just sits there quietly eating and drinking."

"Yes, none of the people we arranged could stir up his emotions."

“I don’t believe he doesn’t understand what we mean. Without our help, how could he possibly be a match for the white dog?”

Lucien pondered for a moment and said, "The banquet is almost over and he still hasn't made any move. This isn't a good solution. Why don't we have Lele and the Miller Family provoke him, and then we can step in to help him and win his favor first?"

After hearing this, several people nodded.

Chapter 60: Pawn

Soon, Lele and the Miller Family learned from the guests around them that the Rhys family and the white dog had a good relationship, and therefore they disliked Jerry. If they deliberately targeted Jerry, they could gain the favor of the Rhys family and the white dog.

Moreover, they are more likely to receive investment and cooperation from the Rhys family.

Lele was overjoyed upon hearing the news.

Standing up, she lifted her wine glass.   Her captivating, flawless makeup and alluring figure were highlighted by her crimson off-shoulder couture ball gown, which featured cascading silk layers and delicate black lace accents.

She walked towards Jerry with a light smile, a teasing grin on her face: "You look so pitiful, no one's paying attention to you. Come on, let me toast you."

Many guests looked at her curiously, not believing that she could be so kind. After all, she was almost ruined by Jerry back then.

Sure enough, Lele sneered and poured the wine directly on the ground: "You think you're worthy of drinking the wine I offer? Why don't you take a piss and see what you look like?"

"I must have been blind to agree to marry you back then."

"Luckily, it didn't happen in the end, otherwise I would be regretting it to the core now."

The scene erupted in uproar, everyone staring at Lele in shock.

This is so humiliating!

Jerry glanced coldly at Lele and said indifferently, "Get lost!"

"You want me to get lost?" Lele sneered. "You're the one who should be leaving, aren't you?"

"Now everyone knows that you, Jerry, have offended Brother White Dog and are hated by everyone. How do you have the nerve to attend this banquet?"

"If it were me, I would have stayed home obediently and not caused trouble for others." The crowd burst into laughter, all watching to see how Jerry would react.

After all, who could tolerate being humiliated like this to a CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate?

Even if Jerry offended the White Dog, his status was still many times higher than Lele's.

Jerry stood up coldly and looked Lele up and down: "You've been used as a pawn and you don't even know it. You'd better go to the hospital to get your brain checked."

"Get out of here and stop crowing like a chicken in front of me."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the banquet hall, not wanting to make a move against Lele.

‘Because if I slapped her myself, I would only get my hands dirty.’

If a lion were to engage in a fight with a wild dog that is taunting it in the mud, it would end up covered in dirt and become a laughingstock. The best approach is to ignore it and wait for a decisive strike later.

The crowd burst into laughter, looking down on Jerry even more. As expected, Jerry couldn't bear the humiliation, but dared not make a move, so he could only slink away.

When the Miller Family saw that Jerry was about to leave, they immediately became anxious. Lele has already made her mark on the Rhys family, while they haven't.

They didn't want to lose this opportunity to curry favor with the Rhys family. Robert gave a signal with his eyes, and his third sister led Jacob.

"Stop!" Third Sister Khushi shouted, "Come with me, Dad has something to ask you."

"Idiot, get out of the way," Jerry said coldly.

"Ha...you dare to talk to me like that now?" Khushi said with a disdainful look, "Have you forgotten how you knelt in front of me and begged for my forgiveness before?"

"Jerry, we in the Miller Family don't want to acknowledge a piece of trash like you."

“Every time we tried to kick you out of the Miller Family, you begged us to take you in like a dog.”

"You've caused trouble this time, so don't expect the Miller Family to protect you." The audience burst into laughter.

Everyone had heard about Jerry's pathetic image in the Miller Family. But it becomes even more interesting when told by the third sister of the Miller Family. The chairman and CEO of the prestigious JM Group is a high-ranking figure in public, but at home he's just a dog in the Miller Family.

"I'll repeat myself one last time, get out." Jerry's expression darkened. Even if he has a good temperament, he can't tolerate this kind of provocation.

"Brother Jerry, shouldn't you be the one getting lost?" Jacob sneered. "Even if you kneel down, don't expect us to forgive you."

Lele also sneered, "Luckily I didn't take a liking to you, you good-for-nothing, or you would have killed me long ago."

Jerry clenched his fist tightly, wishing he could slap him across the face. But for the sake of the bigger picture, he simply smiled coldly: "You're asking for a beating, you know that?"

"Believe it or not, I won't even have to lift a finger; someone will take care of you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter. They all looked at Jerry as if he were an idiot.

"President Miller is furious. He can even say such stupid things."

"I guess he's been under too much pressure lately and has been driven crazy."

"Brother White Dog has threatened to kill him, so who dares to stand up for him now?"

Lele smiled slightly, her face full of disdain: "Can I take this as your impotent rage?"

"Disgraceful!" Robert snorted angrily, "Get out of here and don't embarrass the Miller Family."

"How could I have given birth to such a beast as you!"

Jerry glanced at the two of them indifferently, then turned and left. He knew that if the Rhys family had designs on him, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by. Otherwise, their banquet today would have been for nothing.

Seeing that Jerry was so tolerant, the Rhys family members couldn't sit still any longer.

All three brothers came out.

"Mr. Miller, where are you headed?" Lucien asked politely. "Has my Rhys family failed to provide adequate hospitality in any way?"

Jerry then stopped and smiled faintly: "Indeed, the hospitality was poor, with several dogs barking in front of me."

“These dogs don’t even respect your Rhys family. They keep telling me to get lost, as if they are the hosts of this banquet.”

Upon hearing this, Lele and the others burst into laughter. Jerry was so foolish as to ask the Rhys family to make decisions for him.

How could the Rhys family possibly risk offending White Dog and Director Mohan to help him?

Lucien's face darkened, and he swept his gaze over Lele and the others: "Miss Lele, Mr. Robert, what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Miller is a distinguished guest of the Rhys family. What right do you have to kick him out?"

Upon hearing this, Lele and the others were dumbfounded.

Wasn't the Rhys family disliking Jerry and wanting to use them to humiliate her?

Lucien actually spoke up for Jerry!

"Get out, all of you!" Zane Rhys, the eldest Rhys brother, bellowed furiously.   "What right do you have to be here?   To cause trouble in my family?   You're asking for a fight!"

A dozen servants rushed forward the moment he finished speaking.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Lele turned pale with fright. She never expected that the Rhys family would go to such lengths for Jerry.

She hurriedly asked, "Young Master Zane, what do you mean?"

"Y-you, don't you also dislike Jerry?"

"Besides, he's offended Brother White Dog. Aren't you just asking for trouble by treating him like this?"

"I-I'm sorry, Young Master Rhys." Robert felt somewhat embarrassed and said in a deep voice, "I had no intention of offending the Rhys family, but as his father, it is my duty to deal with him."

“Yes, we’re just dealing with our own family members. It’s none of your business, is it?” Second Sister Konika hurriedly spoke up.

"Hmph!" Zane snorted angrily, glancing at Robert with a mocking look: "Although President Miller has fallen from grace, he is not someone that you few nobodies can bully."

His expression softened, and he looked at Jerry: "President Miller, I'll kick those guys out right away."

Konika and Khushi exchanged a glance, their faces grim.

It would be too embarrassing to be kicked out like this.

"Wait a minute," Jerry said slowly. Lele and the others were immediately amused upon hearing this. Jerry indeed dared not make a move against them.

Robert snorted angrily: "At least you have some conscience, you know I'm still your father."

Everyone looked on with disdain. Everyone else was putting Jerry down, yet Jerry didn't even dare to ask the Rhys family to stand up for him.

That's so pathetic!

"Let my bodyguards in, and they'll each get a slap," Jerry said with a faint smile. These words caused an uproar in the room, with everyone staring at Jerry in shock.

What courage!

Robert and his group were, after all, guests personally invited by the Rhys family.

How dare Jerry suggest slapping them?

Robert was so angry that he cursed, "You beast!"

"You dare?" Konika glared at Jerry. "I'm your second sister. How dare you have someone hit me?"

"Brother Jerry... How could you be so unreasonable? Dad gave you life after all." Jacob also spoke in a teasy tone.

Everyone looked at the three Rhys brothers.

They felt that they would absolutely not agree to Jerry's request.

But Zane, the eldest brother of the Rhys family, said in a deep voice, "President Miller, your request is a bit too much..."

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you later," Jerry said, raising an eyebrow.

“Okay, let his bodyguard in.” Zane’s eyes lit up and he nodded immediately. With one phone call from Jerry, twelve bodyguards were let in.

"One slap each, let me see your strength." Jerry said coldly, looking at Robert and the others.

Chapter 61: Offer

The lead bodyguard, David, rushed forward, grabbed Robert by the collar, and slapped him across the face. That slap swelled up Robert's face.

He screamed and clutched his swollen face, collapsing to the ground, still groaning, "You beast, I'm your father!"

Seeing this, the other bodyguards rushed forward and slapped Lele, Jacob, and the others once each. Their screams and gasps of horror immediately filled the air.

Lele screamed, "Jerry! I will never let you get away with this!"

Jerry frowned in disgust and said indifferently, "I just said I don't need to do anything myself, someone will take care of you."

"I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Robert was so angry he almost vomited blood: "Fine, fine, fine! Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for not acknowledging our father-son relationship."

"Drag him out." Jerry waved his hand impatiently.

Upon hearing this, David and the other bodyguards dragged the men who were cursing out of the room. A deathly silence fell over the scene; everyone sensed something amiss.

Could it be that the Rhys family tacitly allowed Jerry to take action because they wanted to extend an olive branch to Jerry and help him through this crisis?

The Rhys family members looked rather grim; they hadn't expected Jerry to actually dare to hit them.

These are Jerry's own family members, and one of them is his ex-fiancée.

Zane said in a deep voice, "President Miller, are you calmed down? We have something we'd like to discuss with you."

Jerry nodded: "Please."

"Please." Lucien nodded and led Jerry into the tea room.

Zane said succinctly, "President Miller, we are all straightforward people, and your current situation can be described as being besieged on all sides."

“White Dog, the underground boss of Kingsland, has gone mad and wants to kill you, and Director Mohan has also said he wants to get rid of you.”

"Internally, your group has been thrown into turmoil by your family, and the stock price has fallen from around 12 yuan per share to around 7 yuan per share, with a market value of only 60 billion yuan."

"Our Rhys family is just trying to help you"

Jerry smiled and nodded slowly.

To outsiders, he does indeed appear to be plagued by troubles. The once-mighty JM Group is now teetering on the brink of collapse.

However, all of this was done intentionally by Jerry himself.

"I'm very happy that you gave me a face just now," he said with a smile.

"We helped you just now because we wanted to be on your good side," Rhys's second brother said with a smile. "We also hope that President Miller will have some goodwill towards us."

The Rhys family's meaning is quite clear.

‘They've already given me so much face, so I should give them some face too and talk about what's next.’

"Just say what's on your mind," Jerry said calmly.

“We want to acquire a stake in JM Group.” Zane paused for a moment, then spoke emphatically, “We want complete control.”

“We will help you take back the shares held by the Miller Family, and we will also buy the 30% of shares you own.”

"But you are still the chairman and CEO of JM Group, and you have the decision-making power over most things."

Jerry frowned, a cold laugh escaping his lips.

The Rhys family is trying to take advantage of the situation and forcibly seize control of the JM Group.

That sounds nice, but they'll buy my shares and let me continue to control the group. In reality, the stock price has fallen by 40%, so buying now would be a huge profit for them. Once they become major shareholders, they can dismiss someone from their position with a single word.

Rhys noticed that Jerry's expression was not good and frowned, saying, "President Miller, you are aware of your current situation. If the Rhys family hadn't intervened, I'm afraid the White Dog wouldn't have let you live for long."

"How much are you planning to pay for my shares?" Jerry raised an eyebrow and asked casually.

“The current market value is six billion, and 30% of that would be 18 billion, but the stock price is still falling, so we can only offer 500 million to acquire it.” Lucien’s eyes were sharp, and his voice carried a hint of threat.

Jerry sneered, "Heh, you think you can acquire 30% of my shares for 1 billion?"

"Don't you understand that once this crisis is over, the market value will quickly rebound to nearly 10 billion?"

"Currently, all of JM Group's industries are promising high-tech industries, and the possibility of its revenue returning to 10 billion yuan is extremely high."

"Your appetites are far too great."

The Rhys family members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with murderous intent. They were well aware that the market value would rebound, but Jerry had no choice at the moment.

“President Miller, you seem to have misunderstood. We are not discussing this with you.” Zane’s voice turned cold, his deep eyes full of threat: “You have no right to bargain with us now.”

The three Rhys brothers' murderous gazes all shot towards Jerry. All three held high positions and had a history of murder.

Most people would be terrified if they were stared at like that by three people.

Jerry smiled faintly, looking completely indifferent.

‘The Rhys family would never be foolish enough to use force against me, because I have many ways to make them suffer losses. They did this simply to test my bottom line so they could lower the price. The acquisition price I just proposed was merely a test of my bottom line.’

"What?" Zane asked with a forced smile, "Does President Miller think your life is more important than JM Group?"

The second and third brothers of the Rhys family remained silent, but their eyes were full of threat.

Jerry was not afraid at all, and said with a faint smile: "If the three of you want to use force against me, then before I die, I can at least take one of you down with me."

"If the three of you are sincere, then we can discuss the terms properly."

"If the three of you don't want to talk, then feel free to flip the table."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

The three Rhys brothers exchanged glances, and their eyes lit up when they saw that Jerry did not object to the acquisition of JM Group by Rhys Group.

Lucien said with a chuckle, "I was just joking with you. We live in a civilized society now, why would we fight and kill each other?"

"Since President Miller is not satisfied with our terms, let's discuss it properly."

Next, Jerry actually sat down and discussed it with them. He even argued their case and bargained with the three Rhys brothers.

Finally, the three Rhys brothers were all smiles, believing that the acquisition of JM Group was a sure thing.

All that's missing is to offer Jerry conditions that will satisfy him.

Jerry stood up and shook hands with the three of them: "I'll go back and think about it."

"The conditions we've offered are already quite generous," Zane said with a smile. "We hope President Miller will consider them as soon as possible."

"The Rhys family will not provide you with any assistance until you agree."

"If anything unexpected happens, don't blame the Rhys family for not lending a helping hand."

"That's true. Brother Miller, please agree as soon as possible and sign the contract with us." Zane said in a threatening tone, "I've heard that the White Dog is going to make a move against you in the next few days."

"The sooner you join the Rhys family, the sooner you'll be safe."

Jerry smiled and nodded, then turned and left. Escorted back to the Hummer by bodyguards, the smile on his face instantly turned into a sneer.

The Rhys family has a huge appetite; they actually want to swallow up the JM Group. Although I am currently in trouble, I am not someone the Rhys family can control.

He couldn't agree to the Rhys family's conditions, but he also couldn't afford to fall out with them for the time being.

The reason he talked so much with the Rhys family was to convey a message that he was already seeking help from all sides, and that the Rhys family might even lend a hand.

If the white dog doesn't act soon, it will be too late. If the white dog receives this message, it will definitely be unable to restrain himself from attacking Jerry.

At that point, even Director Mohan won't be able to stop him. And Tim can now close the net.

"The Rhys family is nothing but a pawn." Jerry sneered and called out to David in the driver's seat, "Back to the group."

As soon as the three Hummers drove up to the vicinity of JM Building, they smelled a strong odor of paint.

Even though the Hummer has a strong air purification system, the smell of paint still hits your nostrils.

Jerry frowned and looked out the window, only to find that the front of JM Building was covered in brightly colored paint.

There was also a large group of people in security uniforms surrounding them, and more than a dozen people were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

President Miller stepped out of the car after pushing the door open.   Black Wolf, his face contorted with rage, hurried over and reported, "White Dog is a real bastard.   He sent a crew to vandalize people with paint and assault them before fleeing.   We couldn't catch them at all."

"Everyone in the group was scared away; no one dared to stay and work there anymore."

Chapter 62: 30% share

Jerry frowned: "Don't panic, clean up the scene first."

"Send the injured brothers to receive treatment, the company will reimburse all expenses."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked into the building without caring at all.

The white dog's revenge was supposedly painless and ineffective, but it was still disgusting. It's highly likely that he's trying to distract himself and make himself think that he's nothing special.

He arrived at the office and saw Rose and Miss Shan, the purchasing department manager, both looking at him with helpless expressions.

"Mr. Miller, the rumors are going around like crazy, how come you're acting like nothing happened?" Miss Shan said with a wry smile, "I heard from Miss Paper that you even went to a banquet."

"Don't you have no idea how chaotic things are inside the company?"

"Don't blame me for being blunt, but if this continues, JM Group will go bankrupt in less than a month."

"Did you hear that?" Rose said fiercely, "We're in a real crisis right now, and you, the boss, aren't worried at all, but you're making us employees anxious."

"What's the next line after 'The boss isn't in a hurry'?" Jerry teased with a smile.

Rose glared angrily at Jerry: "Are you looking for a beating?"

"Can you two stop flirting?" Miss Shan said with a wry smile. "Aren't you worried at all? Do you have some backup plan that you haven't told me about?"

Rose and Jerry exchanged a smile, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

Jerry laughed and said, "I do have a backup plan, but what is yours?"

"Don't ask so many questions," Rose said with a light smile. "You'll find out when the time comes."

Jerry's curiosity was immediately piqued. He knew that Rose's family might be extraordinary, but she had never revealed it in his previous life.

Miss Shan said helplessly, "President Miller, the stock price has hit the daily limit again today. The group's market value is now less than 5.5 billion."

“Should we look for external financiers?”

"No need." Jerry shook his head: "Lower it, the more the better."

Miss Shan was stunned, and stammered, "President Miller, are you serious?"

‘Who would want their money to dwindle?’

"Don't worry about the group's affairs. White Dog and Director Mohan are just clowns." Jerry's voice turned serious. "Miss Paper, I want to register an entertainment company and would like your help."

Miss Shan was stunned when she heard this.

Now that JM Group is on the verge of collapse, Jerry still has the mind to start a new entertainment business.

“Great!” Rose’s eyes lit up. “Actually, I’ve always wanted to start my own entertainment company.”

"With the economy getting better and better, the entertainment industry will definitely become more and more developed."

"I heard that as long as you create a provincial-level star, you can earn at least 100 million yuan a year."

"If you're a national-level superstar, you can earn at least a billion yuan a year."

"Let's start with a registered capital of one billion. JM Group will invest one billion, taking 51%, and you'll take 49%." Having lived a second life, Jerry naturally understood Rose's dream and said with a smile.

"Really?" Rose's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement.

…

When Jerry was planning to establish an entertainment company, the Miller Family gathered together to discuss it again.

"Damn beast!" Robert trembled with rage. "I treated him like a son, and he dared to send people to beat me up! Is there no justice in this world?"

“I told you we shouldn’t have taken him back to the Miller Family,” Laxmi said with a sharp tongue.

“Look at what he’s done to our family.”

"JM Group's stock price has fallen again, and Jerry hasn't taken any measures, letting the stock price keep falling." The second sister took out a document, her eyebrows furrowed.

 "Our shares have shrunk by tens of millions again."

Upon hearing this, the Miller Family immediately became anxious.

"Is he out of his mind?" Third Sister Khushi snorted angrily. "He should at least have taken some remedial measures, right? But he did nothing."

"I really don't know how he became the CEO and chairman of JM Group with such a low level of intelligence."

"We can't just sit by and watch our shares keep falling, can we?" Fourth Sister Komal said worriedly. "Judging from the current situation, JM Group's shares will continue to fall."

"Sigh... Brother Jerry probably really doesn't understand anything." Jacob frowned and said, "If we had helped him, would he have ended up in this situation?"

"If he reinstates the eldest sister to her position and brings the second and third sisters back to the company, I believe that with their abilities, they will definitely be able to help JM Group stabilize its stock price."

This statement pleased Konika and Khushi greatly.

They all proudly raised their chins. Even Robert's face showed a smug look.

Before, when they helped Jerry, the JM Group was thriving. The moment they fell out with Jerry, JM Group began to decline rapidly. This shows that JM Group's success is all thanks to them.

"Of course, that good-for-nothing is an orphan who hasn't read many books. He just got lucky and made some money, which is how he got the JM Group." The second sister said with a smug look on her face. "If we hadn't helped him later, the group would probably have gone bankrupt long ago."

“That bastard can’t do without us.” The third sister said matter-of-factly, “We are all highly educated and have MBA certificates from the United States, while Jerry has never even been to college.”

"Hmph! Outsiders all think that my Miller Family benefited from Jerry's success, but now everyone should know that it's Jerry who benefited from us, right?"

Upon hearing this, Laxmi exclaimed excitedly, "Mom doesn't understand, but after hearing what you've said, it's clear that Jerry's ability to build the JM Group into a multi-billion dollar enterprise is entirely due to us!"

"Hmph! Without our help, he'd probably be regretting it to the core by now."

Robert, recalling the humiliation of the day, snorted angrily: "Since he went so far today, then don't blame us for being impolite."

“I didn’t sell the shares before because of our father-son relationship, but now it seems we can make a move now.”

“We hold so many shares that even selling just half would cause panic in the market, and JM Group would suffer an even greater blow, with its market value potentially plummeting to 40 billion.”

The eldest sister, Ena, who had been silent, frowned and remained speechless.

She said, "Dad, let's not be impulsive. Jerry is still family. He's in a hurry to stabilize the stock price, and we're stabbing him in the back. That's not a good idea, is it?"

"What's wrong with that?" Laxmi slammed her hand on the table and shrieked, "Have you forgotten that bastard tried to get you thrown in jail?"

"He just saved you back then, is it really necessary to speak up for him like this?"

"Big sister, you haven't been manipulated by Brother Jerry, have you?" Jacob asked with a worried look. "The worse he treats you, the nicer you are to him."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to criticize Ena in a cacophony of opinions. Ena sighed inwardly for Jerry, feeling helpless.

If she had received the same treatment as Jerry, she probably would have broken ties with her family long ago.

She understood even more why Jerry had fallen out with the Miller Family.

"Alright, let's talk about how to sell the shares first." Robert said solemnly, "JM Group's bankruptcy is a fact. If we don't sell them now, the shares we hold will only become less and less valuable."

"While some people still have hope for JM Group, we should sell all our shares and cut our losses in time." Everyone started talking about it.

"Sell everything off? Leave nothing behind? Isn't that too impulsive?"

"What's the rush? Do you really expect the stock price to rebound? With that good-for-nothing Jerry, it's impossible!"

"I also think it's better to sell them all; the longer you wait, the less valuable they will become." Ultimately, the Miller Family decided to sell all of their shares in JM Group.

However, the eldest sister, Ena, resolutely refused to sell, and the Miller Family had no choice but to agree.

This news caused a stir in the stock market. The Miller Family controls a full 30% of the shares in JM Group. If it enters the market, JM Group's stock price will likely plummet.

Countless people who still harbored dreams for JM Group decisively sold their shares. JM Group's shares plummeted again, leaving its market value at only 50 billion yuan.

Jerry also received this news, but a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "They've taken the bait."

"Miss Paper, you can send someone to buy back all the shares they hold."

"We'll try to get 30% of the shares for 1 billion."

Chapter 63: Free Share

Rose gave Jerry a deep look: "Your methods are brilliant. You want to take over shares that were originally worth 3 billion for only 1 billion."

"I still think giving them 1 billion is too much of a loss," Jerry said with a helpless bitter smile.

But there was no other way; the Miller Family had given away 30% of their shares themselves, and there was no other way but to buy them back.

Rose rolled her eyes at Jerry: "Now you know how to feel sorry for yourself? No matter how I tried to persuade you back then, you were still determined to give the shares to your family."

Thinking about the foolish things he had done in the past, Jerry couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

‘I was really stupid before, being unconditionally good to my family.’

Instead of gratitude and affection, he received abuse and endless demands. The saying "a small favor is appreciated, but a large favor is resented" is indeed true.

"I'll arrange for a few employees to handle the negotiations for you," Rose said with a smile, then walked out the door.

At the same time, many forces in the Southern Continent were in an uproar.

Lele, who had just made over 60 million yuan in the stock market, urgently convened a board meeting.

Because she earned over 60 million in the stock market, her prestige within the Sen Group has now subtly surpassed that of her father.

The shareholders all admired her immensely.

“I think we can acquire a portion of JM Group’s shares,” Lele said excitedly.

 “JM Group’s industries are all high-tech industries, and it has a large number of patented technologies in areas such as batteries and drones.”
