His intentions were genuine Harvey had mentioned Kingsleys abilities, but from Kanes perspective, Kingsley was clearly not in the same league as Lauren.
However, unlike Harvey, Kane maintained his grace and smiled.
Very well, let me be direct.
My price for the Oakridge Club is 150 million.
The number shocked both Lauren and Kingsley.
Im sorry, Mr. Weller Senior, but at 150 million, I’ll have to pass on this deal, Lauren replied, disappointed that Kane would try to take such a blatant advantage of her.
Harvey chimed in with a smirk, Lauren, were giving you first priority here.
If you’re not interested, there are plenty of others lined up to buy Jayrodales premier club.
Lauren fell into deep thought.
While she did not particularly care about the Oakridge Club, she had promised it as a gift to Kingsley and did not want to appear insincere in her gratitude.
Mr. Weller Senior, 150 million is far too high.
Perhaps we could negotiate ? Lauren suggested.
Kane inwardly smiled, thinking the younger generation was still too naive in business dealings.
He knew nobody would willingly pay 150 million for the club, but he intended to pull a premium price since he was personally involved in the negotiation.
After pretending to consider it carefully, Kane spoke again, Lauren, since both the Weller and Rhodes families are elite families of Jayrodale, I’ll give you special consideration.
How about 120 million ? Laurens frown deepened
Even 120 million was highway robbery for the clubs actual value.
Eunice could not help but comment, Miss, I don’t think we should pay 120 million.
Please reconsider! Shut up! Harvey snapped
Who are you to speak here? Eunice paled and retreated behind Lauren, fighting back tears.
Kane took a slow sip of tea and flashed an insincere smile.
Lauren, you’re too forgiving with your staff
In our family, such behavior would merit severe punishment and expulsion.
Laurens expression darkened.
While Kane was trying to lecture her on managing staff, she did not appreciate the interference especially since Eunice had merely voiced Laurens own thoughts about the Wellers extortionate pricing Kane set down his teacup and added, Lauren, Ive already lowered the price by 30 million out of consideration for you.
If you refuse now, it would be disrespecting me and the Weller family.
Laurens expression changed, and even Francesca, who had been quietly observing, felt angry.
Kane was clearly using his seniority to pressure the Rhodes family into an unfair deal.
The situation was frustratingly complex since Kane technically had the upper hand.
As at family patriarch and Laurens elder, Kane had made what appeared to be a concession by lowering the price by 30 million, making it difficult for Lauren to refuse without seeming disrespectful.
If Harvey had been the only one present, Lauren could have continued negotiating.
However, with the cunning Kane there, it was awkward for her, as a younger person, to keep bargaining.
Nonetheless, she was not foolish enough to accept such an astronomical sum of 120 million. dollars.
Meanwhile, Harvey was secretly delighted that bringing his father along worked out so well.
Kanes negotiating skills far surpassed his own, and the Weller family was past caring about their reputation they just wanted to rip off the Rhodes family while they could.
Lauren, if theres no issue, lets sign the contract ! Kane said with a seemingly friendly smile. Lauren silently cursed the crafty old man while outwardly hesitating.
Mr. Weller Senior, I think… Lauren, spare me the excuses, Kane cut her off assertively.
Once we sign the contract and you transfer the 120 million to the Weller family account, we could talk about how our families had gone way back.
Wouldnt that be lovely? Laurens palms were sweating as she considered whether to confront Kane directly.
While the Rhodes family could handle any fallout with the Wellers, she knew Michael would use this incident against her.
Come on, Lauren, surely 120 million isnt an issue for the Rhodes family? Harvey pressed.
Just sign the contract and keep things simple! Lauren took a deep breath, ready to refuse despite the consequences.
She was not afraid, knowing Kingsley had her back.
I think Ms. Rhodes should pay 120 million, Kingsley suddenly commented, catching everyone off guard.
You can’t be serious! Kingsley, thats 120 million How can you let Lauren pay that ? Francesca exclaimed in shock.
Even Lauren stared at Kingsley in disbelief, surprised by his support for the deal.
Harvey laughed triumphantly
Kingsley knows a good deal when he sees it! The Oakridge Club is Jayrodales most prestigious venue.
If we werent all friends here, I’d be asking for at least 150 million.
Kane remained silent with a slight smile, assuming Kingsley was either trying to curry favor or needed something from the Weller family.
Hannah inwardly scoffed at Kingsleys apparent change in character.
While she was currently aligned with the Weller family, she felt disappointed to see Kingsley apparently abandoning his principles when faced with someone of Kanes status.
Alrigh , well follow Dr. Baldwins suggestion and proceed with the 120 million, Lauren decided.
Even though she was unsure why Kingsley agreed to such a price, she trusted that he had his reasons and was willing to spend that amount on him.
Just as Kane and Harveys faces lit up with triumph, Kingsley dropped a bombshell.
I think.
there might be a small misunderstanding
When i mentioned 120 million, I wasnt just talking about the Oakridge Club.
He continued, What I meant was that 120 million should buy the entire Weller family holdings.
Everything the Weller family owns in Jayrodale would become Rhodes family property, and Ms. Rhodes can transfer the money right now.
Now, thats what I call a win win situation! The room fell into a stunned silence as everyone reeled from Kingsleys words.
His suggestion was not about meeting the Weller familys greedy demands it was about buying out their entire family enterprise
What the hell are you talking about? Harvey snarled
The Weller family has been a powerhouse in Jayrodale for over a century.
Do you think your pathetic 120 million can buy our entire legacy? Are you out of your mind? Kanes pale face flushed red with anger
Young man, thats quite bold of you.
The Weller familys heritage can’t be measured in mere dollars.
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Francesca, Lauren, and Hannah all stared at Kingsley with strange expressions, shocked by his audacious proposal.
Well, if Mr. Weller Senior thinks 120 million isnt enough, lets make it 150 million, Kingsley replied calmly.
As you said earlier, the price is negotiable.
This is ridiculous! Kane exploded without hesitation.
Even if you offered billions, the Weller family isnt some commodity to be bought and sold! In that case, it seems Mr. Weller Senior is the one disrespecting the Rhodes family and Ms. Rhodes, Kingsley replied coldly.
We showed good faith by raising our offer, but apparently, the Weller familys pride is too inflated to negotiate reasonably
Kane nearly choked on his anger, realizing that Kingsley had cleverly turned his own earlier pressure tactics against him.
Lauren, you better control Kingsley, Harvey shouted
Who does he think he is to interfere in business between our families? Lauren was secretly delighted While she had to maintain respect for Kane, Kingsley was free to challenge him.
Well, you see, Dr. Baldwin actually has every right planning to buy the Oakridge Club as a gift for hi Well, you see, Dr. Baldwin actually has every right to speak, Lauren explained
After all, I was planning to buy the Oakridge Club as a gift for him!
With those words, the Weller family was immediately silenced, holding back their protest. Harvey stared in disbelief and said, Lauren, the Oakridge Club is such a precious asset.
Surely you wouldnt give away something so valuable just for a man, would you? Lauren smiled and simply stated, Because I want to! Kane, speaking as an elder, felt compelled to step in with a warning.
He cautioned sternly, A casual fling is one thing, but your father would be furious if he found out you’re purchasing the Oakridge Club just to gift it to some young man.
Lauren remained unfazed and replied, Mr. Weller Senior, just focus on the sales.
How I spend my money and what I do with my purchases is my business alone.
After repeatedly hitting a wall with Lauren, Kane let out a cold snort and said, Since you wont listen to reason, fine the price remains at 120 million, not a dollar less.
Kingsley quickly interjected, Ms. Rhodes, since theyre not budging, lets leave.
There are better ways to spend 120 million than on this mediocre clubhouse.
Lauren nodded in agreement.
Alright, I’ll take your advice
Seeing that they were actually preparing to leave, Kane felt his anger rising
Kingsley had completely ruined his plans, and it was infuriating
