Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2896: Chapter 2021: What One Desires and Seeks

Mrs. Margery was exceedingly open and candid with Bai Xiaosheng this time, even explicitly stating her intention to bet on Bai Xiaosheng. Her words implied a willingness to join forces with him against Vice Chairman Morgan.

If a third party were present, they would undoubtedly be utterly shocked.

It’s essential to know that Mrs. Margery’s cooperation with Vice Chairman Morgan wasn’t a one-time or a short-term thing. Their relationship is deeply rooted, and suddenly claiming to turn against him indeed defies belief.

Mrs. Margery herself was aware of this, yet she had no intention of proving the credibility of her statements to Bai Xiaosheng.

Clever as she was, she naturally understood that if mere words could sway Bai Xiaosheng’s judgment, there would have been no need for Morgan and Caroline to go to great lengths to deal with him.

Thus, Mrs. Margery skipped that part entirely and began analyzing the current situation in front of Bai Xiaosheng.

”Mr. Bai, you’ve been giving Mr. Wen Yan ample trouble, and Morgan Vice Chairman seems to be on the defensive every time. However, knowing his character, you must realize that the reality is far from it.”

Mrs. Margery confidently assured Bai Xiaosheng, ”You are brewing a decisive strike, and he is planning an unprecedented counterattack!”

”I can definitively inform you that when the last trump card is revealed, you may not necessarily be able to defeat Vice Chairman Morgan. In my view, the odds are not high enough. Morgan’s retaliation is not weak but is full of hidden dangers; the most probable outcome is mutual destruction!”

Mrs. Margery calmly stated, ”Don’t think mutual destruction between two armies is a draw; in reality, you are the most likely to become the biggest loser because Vice Chairman Morgan will plan to bring you down at all costs! The threat and trouble you pose to him in some sense exceed that of Mr. Wen Yan!”

Mrs. Margery’s words weren’t alarmist, and Bai Xiaosheng knew this in his heart.

The information Bai Xiaosheng received from other sources also led to the same analysis.

Vice Chairman Morgan harbors unprecedented hostility towards him, brewing a trap targeting him, which is highly likely.

”Being so esteemed by Vice Chairman Morgan, I am indeed honored.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled faintly, remaining calm and composed, presenting a relaxed demeanor, as if he was unafraid.

After all, at the moment, he wasn’t facing an unsolvable crisis nor confronting Vice Chairman Morgan but conversing with Mrs. Margery.

Or discussing cooperation.

Even discussing ”business.”

Given the situation, he couldn’t let the other party discern his genuine emotions.

Mrs. Margery gazed intently at Bai Xiaosheng’s calm smile, yet even with her keen vision, she couldn’t differentiate between truth and falsehood.

This young man truly excelled at concealing his emotions; it’s impossible to tell if he doesn’t believe her or has foreseen things, or even prepared a countermeasure.

No wonder he became Vice Chairman Morgan’s grave concern, making Caroline suffer frequent losses at his hands.

Mrs. Margery sighed inwardly, but outwardly smiled, ”The situation is like a hidden dragon under the water, and the outcome is unknown. However, my joining you can change the result of this game. I can help you secure victory against Vice Chairman Morgan, causing him to suffer a complete defeat!”

Mrs. Margery spoke with great confidence.

Bai Xiaosheng and Wen Yan were in a stalemate against Vice Chairman Morgan, even if Bai Xiaosheng and his group had unplayed trump cards, their chances of victory were minimal.

If she aids them, the situation would naturally be different.

After all, Mrs. Margery was formerly part of Vice Chairman Morgan’s group, presumably holding remarkable leverage.

The reason Mrs. Margery shared those words with Bai Xiaosheng was indubitably intentional.

After discussing the situation, naturally, she needed to demonstrate her value.

Then comes the phase where one sets their price.

”Mrs. Margery, you’ve got so much crucial evidence on Vice Chairman Morgan; surely he has some defenses against you? Surely, he trusts you that much.” Bai Xiaosheng was naturally moved but remained calm, ”Perhaps your offer may not be as useful as imagined.”

Bai Xiaosheng implied that Mrs. Margery’s value might not be as significant as she claimed.

This sly fellow is indeed skilled at negotiation!

Mrs. Margery gazed at Bai Xiaosheng and suddenly smiled, speaking softly, ”Vice Chairman Morgan is a highly formidable role; there’s no doubt about that.”

”However, I am not unintelligent!”

”He second-guesses me, guards against me, which might stem from an abrupt moment of vigilance.”

”Whereas my desire to break free from his control and to plot against him is a constant thought, day after day, year after year!”

After these words, Mrs. Margery smiled, ”Besides, I only wish to be a helper. The extent of my value depends on how effectively you use the cards I offer.”

Mrs. Margery added, ”After saying so much, Mr. Bai, you don’t have to trust me. I have neither reason nor necessity to earn your trust. What’s required is my value, and what I need is your reward!”

Mrs. Margery wished to make clear to Bai Xiaosheng that she had motives.

”Mrs. Margery, when it comes to rewards, it seems Mr. Morgan can offer you much more than I could.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”Regarding benefits? Not just a bit more, but far beyond what you can offer.” Mrs. Margery corrected him.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly spread his hands, giving Mrs. Margery a wry smile.

That look implied, given the situation, why would you still betray, it makes no sense.

”I have few reasons behind my choice, just three.” Mrs. Margery stared at Bai Xiaosheng, speaking softly, ”The first reason, which you already know, is that I’ve grown weary of cooperating with Morgan.”

”The second reason, as I mentioned, is that you are the only individual in recent years capable of ending his reign.”

”As for the third reason...” Mrs. Margery laughed, ”I need you and Mr. Wen Yan to ensure my current position remains unchanged, promise omissions concerning my past actions, and guarantee all my current vested interests!”

Bai Xiaosheng understood instantly.

So Mrs. Margery not only wanted to free herself from Vice Chairman Morgan’s control but also to cleanse herself and all she had gained!

”That’s asking quite a lot, Mrs. Margery.” Bai Xiaosheng stated bluntly.

Mrs. Margery didn’t seem offended by this directness; rather she responded, ”I’ve gained sufficiently and plan to retire soon. If everything could legitimately belong to me, I’d be content. Should I serve the corporation for two more years, then gracefully retire, that would be my most satisfying outcome. My previous irregular gains weren’t obtained willingly; under Vice Chairman Morgan’s threat, I had no choice. But now, if you want me to relinquish them, I naturally refuse!”

Truly a woman who understands when to retreat wisely, knowing how to protect herself!

”I can’t decide on this alone; I need to discuss it with Wen Yan.” Bai Xiaosheng remarked.

Mrs. Margery nodded, surprisingly stood up and walked out, ”I’ll leave this place to you; I’ll wait outside, hoping you’ll reach a conclusion soon. Because today, I have prepared a grand gift for you.”

Bai Xiaosheng felt stirred, nodded, watched Mrs. Margery leave, and took out his phone.

Mrs. Margery waited just a quarter of an hour outside her study, before hearing the door open.

Bai Xiaosheng leaned out, smiling at Mrs. Margery, ”Mrs. Margery, let’s discuss that big gift you mentioned.”
