Chapter 32 Can You Represent the Dunns?
Amber handed Shirley an investment agreement.
"As the main shareholder in this partnership, and considering the shares in the Eastvale Ecological Project..."
Shirley's eyes flashed with anger as she scanned the dogment. "This is practically a forced acquisition!"
Robin glanced at her.
"It's none of your concern. If they want to get rich alongside the Hamiltons, let them."
Furious, Shirley responded, "Have you read the notes in this contract? It suggests all original project types. will be changed.
"Rygar has already taken over the Hamiltons' share and agreed with us to invest based on the conditions all four parties initially set.
"In fact, the contract Rygar signed with me this morning ensures that any project given to outside investors must follow the original project plan.
"However, if the Hamiltons keep altering their sector, it'll undermine the whole Eastvale Ecological Project. It'll only lead to conflicts and destructive competition later on." She continued, "What Liam is doing essentially pulls in all the companies in Harmonfield to go up against
the Dunns in this market.
"If Rygar doesn't re-negotiate investment terms with us, all of the Dunns' capital in the Eastvale Ecological Project will go to waste.
"It seems the Hamiltons have been plotting against us from the start!"
"Oh, so there's more to this than meets the eye?" Robin remarked, swirl Liam, who was confidently addressing the crowd.
of wine and eyeing
"But there's no need to worry. Sure, a lot of businessmen want in on this Eastvale project, but they aren't naive.
"Look around," he gestured. "Everyone here has experience. Nobody's going to hand over their company so easily.
"They may seem eager now, but you'll soon see their reactions."
Robin's prediction was right on the mark.
In business, everyone looked out for their interests, and those present today were sharp-eyed professionals who dealt with contracts every day."
With the huge amounts of money involved, no one was likely to sign anything without a thorough inspection.
Initially, the businessmen were enthusiastic about joining the Eastvale Ecological Investment Project, but reading through the contract quickly opened their eyes to the truth.
"Mr. Liam, with terms like these, it seems like we might make money at first glance, but it's only a mirage," one guest said.
In the end, everything we've built could end up under your control, and we'd be left with nothing"
"You can't expect us to commit based on carnings we may or may not see ten years down the line!" said another.
"Who knows what will even happen in ten years?"
"You're practically asking us to sign over our entire industry for free-it's absurd!" murmured another.
From his spot, Robin watched as Liam continued to smile confidently.
It was clear now that Liam intended to monopolize the entire Harmonfield market by consolidating power over companies like Dunn Group and Violetcrest.
He was trying to win over Rygar. And with his scheme, he could gain control of all their resources without Spending a single penny.
He had big ambitions!
As more faces in the room showed anger and disbelief Liam maintained his calm smile and addressed. them.
"Didn't you all just say you trusted me and wanted to make something great with Universal Group?
"What do you mean now? I'm willing to hand over all project shares to you, yet you're hesitant to entrust me.
"It's getting dull! No wonder you're incapable of big achievements! No shambles!"
business is in
A man in his 60s paused for a second, then said, "Mr. Liam, we've worked hard in these industries most of our lives, and now you want to take them over just because of some estimated profits ten years down the line. "Why should we trust you? There are too many variables"
Liam's smile vanished, replaced with a cold look. "Yes, you all are nothing but a bunch of greedy profiteers!"
A middle-aged man named Neal Ford frowned. "Of course we pursue profit; that's what business is about! What's the point of investing if there's no gain?"
Liam shot him an icy glare. "Mr. Ford, simply partnering with Universal Group on the Eastvale project is a privilege for you.
"Mr. Ford, being able to jointly develop the Eastvale Commercial Project with our Universal Group is already giving honor to you.

Chapter 32 Can You Represent the Dunns?
"If I wanted, I could eliminate the Ford Group within three days with minimal effort!"
Neal shivered, knowing Liam's threat was no exaggeration.
If the Hamiltons wanted to be against him, it would be effortless.
Liam had finally shown his true colors.
He gestured toward the guests. "Everyone here is in the same boat. If I wished, I could ruin you all with at single word!"
"I invited you all here today with good intentions-to make money together-but you don't seem to value that.
"Listen, it's not just about wealth; it's also about loyalty and gratitude.
"I've looked after each of you, brought you into a golden opportunity with the Hamiltons to build prosperous future. Isn't that exciting?
"Why are your minds so small and limited? Your attitudes truly disappoint me!"
Guests at the party glanced at Liam's menacing smile, feeling unease settle over them.
The Hamiltons backer was the Phoenix Vanguard.
Over the years, they had laid grand plans across Harmonfield.
Liam, a cunning strategist, aimed to dominate Harmonfield's financial sector.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
It seemed inevitable that everyone here would fall under his control. Even those not invited today would likely end up on his target list eventually.
With a sinister chuckle, Liam continued, "Do you understand my message? If there are no objections, sign the cooperation agreements before you, and we'll remain allies." Despite their reluctance, the leaders of Harmonfield's business world them with little to show for a lifetime of work.
Tailing to sign would leave
From a distance, Shirley watched with a furrowed brow. If the influential figures in Harmonfield bowed to Liam's plan, it would spell trouble for the Dunns
"Ms. Dunn, what... what should we do?" Amber also saw the threat.
Ms. I
If Liam succeeded, the Eastvale project, where the Dunns had invested 80% of their capital, would be wiped out.
The Dunn Group would take a heavy hit-perhaps a fatal one.
"Ms. Dunn, should we call Mr. Dunn Sr.?" Amber asked anxiously.
Shirley broke into a nervous sweat. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Alright. I'll reach out to my grandfather right away."
"Hold on, this is a small issue-not worth troubling your grandfather over, Robin interjected, stopping them.
"A small issue?
Before Shirley could respond, Robin set down his drin, rose, and said, "So this is how the Hamiltons have made their mark in Harmonfield-through such deplorable tactics?"
As everyone hesitated over signing the agreement, all eyes shifted to Robin upon hearing his bold words.
They hadn't expected the lower-status figure, whom they'd dismissed, to stand up so defiantly.
Was he really challenging the powerful Hamiltons?
"Guys, the Dunn Group has also expressed interest in collaborating at this investment.
"Alongside managing their hotels, shopping centers, and recreational facilities within the Eastvale Ecological Project, the Dunns are prepared to subcontract the remaining 70% of their projects at a cost to any committed partners who've signed an investment agreement. "However, the condition is that development follows the specified investment types in the contract. Otherwise, the agreement will be nullified."
Anyone with the resources is welcome to discuss terms with the Dunns."
Robin's declaration stunned the party guests.
Could this be true? Were the Dunns genuinely offering up capital so freely!
"Robin, are you directly opposing me?" Liam's expression darkened.
"So what if I am?" Robin replied with a hint of mischief in his smile.
"Who do you think you are? You don't have the authority to represe a thus Oscar shouted, rising to point at Robin angrily.
Without hesitation, Shirley said icily. "He certainly can speak for the D my own"
o's decisions align with
Her words instantly reignited hope among the previously discouraged busines: leaders. If the Dunns were willing to resist, they too could stand up to Liam's threats.
Robin's proposed terms seemed almost too generous to pass up.
In an instant, the guests who had distanced themselves from Robin moved eagerly toward him and Shirley
Liam's smug confidence faded, replaced by a growing coldness.
The plan he'd spent years orchestrating was suddenly threatened by Robin.
Liam's eyes narrowed, a deadly glint flashing in his gaze as he watched Robin.
