Chapter - 1469

That made Lacey flabbergasted. She quickly replied, “Hello, Mr. Prichett. Yes, I am.”

Manny then said, “Ms. Hinton, I’ll just cut to the chase. I would like to collaborate with your company. I hope you will accept my offer.”

Lacey was somehow even more stunned than she was before.

Though it was weird for Oceana Group to want to collaborate with Linton Group, that collaboration still made some sense. But Manny used to be the richest man in the country!

Why would he be interested in Linton Group? And to the point where he’s practically begging for a collaboration?

Lacey calmed her nerves before she asked carefully, “Director Prichett, may I know why you’d like to work with Linton Group?”

“Linton Group has tremendous potential for growth, and we all agreed that it will be the fastest-growing company in the country. That’s why we’d like to work with you.”

Growth potential? We did acquire the Emperor Group, but that doesn’t increase our growth potential by that much! At least not to the point where it could attract the attention of someone like Manny Prichett.

The other members of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce were all there to ask for collaboration as well.

What the f**k?

The burly man was so angry that the vein on his head began to pop out. Though furious, confusion was more evident in his eyes.

“Mr. Prichett, I don’t understand. We’ve known each other for decades, and you have never met Lacey Hinton before today. Moreover, when it comes to power, my company’s influence and market share are almost twice as much as what Linton Group holds. I am also one of the founders of the Atheville Chamber of Commerce, and have been working as the organization’s head secretariat for years! On what grounds are you kicking me out?”

Manny ignored the burly man.

He grinned at Lacey and asked, “Ms. Hinton, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

Lacey was about to nod when Zeke interjected cruelly, “Not at all.”

Manny immediately asked, “Mr. Williams, how would you like to settle this matter? I will do anything you ask.”

We must collaborate with Linton Group.
