Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

The Bryant family wasn't easily fooled—they knew this proposal was way off the mark. Giving up ten percent

of Bryant Group's shares plus annual dividends? They'd have no need to team up with International Glam if

they did that. It was clearly a lopsided deal.

Fiona saw right through it. The ten percent shares and dividends were just a smokescreen. She knew there

was no way the Bryant family would agree, and she only mentioned it to see how they'd react.

If they were actually naive enough to agree, she had no plans to partner with them. Any family willing to make

such a bad deal was bound to crash and burn soon.

"Ms. Fiona, didn't we settle on five percent of the shares earlier? Why the sudden jump?"

"Yeah, Ms. Fiona, this price hike is out of the question. No family would go for such a large portion. You're

biting off more than you can chew, young lady."

The underlying message was that Fiona's International Glam lacked the Stonnell family's backing. The Bryant

family knew all about the drama with the Stonnells, including some ruthless moves, which was why they were

wary of Fiona.noveldrama

Fiona couldn't care less about their grumbling. She just shrugged, spread her hands, and smiled, "So, where's

your sincerity? Let's be upfront. I've got another meeting lined up next door."

A direct threat!

The Bryant family turned pale with anger, trembling with rage, yet powerless against Fiona.

Without her agreement, they couldn't report any success, nor could they expect the Bryant family to shine in

the upcoming quarter.

"Five percent of the shares plus dividends."

"Nope, eight percent of the shares, forget the dividends," Fiona laid out her real aim.

The original five percent was meant

for Jasmine, and the extra three

percent was Fiona's gift, to secure

Jasmine's position in the Bryant

family even if Fiona was out of the

picture.

"Also, these eight percent shares should be in Jasmine's name. If she passes away, International Glam

inherits them."

The Bryant family was fuming, seeing Fiona's confident and proud demeanor, filled with a murderous urge.

Reluctantly, they finally agreed to Fiona's terms and signed the lopsided deal.

Fiona watched them, a smile slowly

spreading across her face. The

Woods family proved their worth by

helping secure those extra three

percent shares in the Bryant family

for her.

Meanwhile, the Bryant family couldn't stand the Woods family. If it hadn't been for their sudden involvement,

they wouldn't have lost those three percent shares.

Eight percent was a hefty chunk; for a public company, it meant Fiona had a solid influence in Bryant Group.

She might not be the top dog, but she was ahead of many.

The thought was infuriating; this deal left a bitter taste.

"Here's to a pleasant partnership," Fiona said, extending her hand with a cheerful smile at the disgruntled

faces before her.

She had finally secured Jasmine's position.

The contract signing was now Tyler's task, as she needed to deal with the Woods family.

Tyler pulled out the contract, already

prepared with the eight percent

shares. Instantly, the Bryant family

realized they'd been outsmarted by

Fiona. Without her crafty plan, they

wouldn't have lost the three percent

shares.

"You're young, but pretty sly," a Bryant family member murmured through gritted teeth.
