"Zachary, I didn't expect you to use such a trick. I know you're jealous of me because of Nora, but you can't use this trick, and Nora will get upset when she finds out."
I didn't say anything as I watched his righteous indignation.
Perhaps Ethan thought I was scared, so he continued to push his luck. "Why don't you give me the lot in Blanton at the next bidding and help me pay for it? It would be best if the Anderson Group worked with my company on a few more projects to get mine growing. I'll consider speaking up for you in front of Nora.
"How was it? Good deal, huh?"
By the time Ethan finished speaking, I had just finished replying to George's message.
Seeing that I ignored him, Ethan seemed to feel humiliated, so he shouted angrily, "Zachary, did you hear me?"
"Is that all?" I asked calmly.
Ethan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said, "It would be perfect if you give me another five percent of shares in the Anderson Group."
Look at his condescending attitude, as if I owed him billions of dollars.
"Just daydream for now." With that, I turned around and left.
As I walked, I wondered why I was so stupid in my previous life to be fooled by someone like Ethan.
