Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960: So evil

"... You want us to run the company even if you buy it? We’ll keep it and retain a small share? On top of the buyout?"

Theo and even his father had read this clause a few times before raising the question. After all, they had to make sure, because this contract seemed too good to be true.

Was their unlucky streak finally over, and now they were being blessed?

"It’s true, and it’s the one topic I’d like to discuss with the two of you," Penny nodded. "I thought about it long and hard and decided to add this clause. Of course, it’s still up to you if you agree with it. I would compromise or accept whatever conditions you wanted to add."

Conditions? How could the Millers have other conditions? They came here thinking they would accept the offer and sell their company for the price Penny told them last night. Penny probably knew that already and was saying this out of formality.

Even if it wasn’t the case and Penny was just naturally generous, Penny was a businesswoman. She built Prime Group from scratch and was now the matriarch of the Pierson Family.

How dare they negotiate and risk offending this door of opportunity?

"Miss Penelope, ha ha... this is... this is something I didn’t expect," Mister Miller laughed awkwardly. "To be honest with you, we came here because of the buyout. We didn’t expect such added clauses."

"Well, like I said, if you don’t like it, we can always proceed with the original plan."

Theo perked up. "That’s not what my father is saying, Miss Penelope. All we’re just saying is... this is... this is amazing! But we don’t want to push our luck. So, we’re a little confused. Why are you giving us so much?"

"So much?" Penny repeated innocently and shrugged. "I guess it does sound a little too much."

A few hundred million wasn’t much for her? The Millers almost choked upon hearing her meaningful response, but then they remembered who her husband was. Zoren could buy ten more of the Miller’s companies, and it wouldn’t even dent his cash flows.

That man was earning millions with every second he breathed.

One could just imagine how many hundreds of millions went in and out of the Pierson Corporation every single day.

"If I may be blunt, why are you asking us to run the company?" Theo mustered up the courage to quell his curiosity. "It’s true that we heard about the Bennet Family on our way here, so I was expecting that once this buyout is over, Atlas Bennet would take the helm."

"My first brother hasn’t heard about this, but I’m sure he’ll decline," Penny smiled at them. "He would accept it if he had the time — probably, but he’s quite busy."

Busy doing what?

Atlas was literally kicked out of Global Prime Logistics. Meaning, he was just unemployed!

"Oh..." Theo furrowed his brows, still having many questions in his mind. However, he didn’t want to bombard Penny with questions and irritate her.

"Do not overthink," Penny remarked reassuringly. "The only reason I added this clause is because my hands are tied at the moment. Besides, I do not plan on kicking out the wrong people and replacing them with mine. If there was someone who should do that, it should be the people who knew who deserved to stay and who didn’t."

"Keeping you at the helm under my guidance, I’m sure the Miller’s Company would rise above to the top again." Her smile stretched into a slight smirk as she tilted her head slightly to the side. "What do you think?"

Mister Miller and Theo looked at each other with wide eyes. They tried to hide their excitement, but it was evident in their eyes.

Today, signing that piece of paper would mean the end of their agony.

’Even if the share is just a couple of percentage points, if the company bounces back, that small percentage is probably worth half of the buyout money,’ Theo thought. ’No, with the Pierson Corporation behind her, the buyout money would be more like compensation.’

’If this were before, I would ask for a bigger percentage. However, our company is dying, and agreeing to a buyout — a one-time payoff — without asking for a seat in the shareholder meeting is enough for us. Considering the price she offered could cover our losses, pay off our debts, and leave us with something to live in comfort for the rest of our lives or start a new business, I thought we shouldn’t be greedy anymore,’ Mister Miller pondered, gripping his hand on his lap to contain his happiness and excitement. ’Is it really fine for us to accept this generosity?’

Slowly, Theo and his father raised their heads, their eyes twinkling so much that Penny could almost see it. They were beaming! As if they were staring at their goddess, their savior, their everything!

"Ahem!" Penny cleared her throat. "So? Do you accept this? I’m not saying there aren’t any changes, but everything will most likely stay the same. As long as you listen to me, you don’t have to worry about anything. You run the business with the thought of being number one in logistics."

"The sooner, the better. The paperwork takes time, so shall we finalize the agreement today?" she suggested, leaning back confidently. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
