Chapter 927:
Could it be about the Barton family, just as he had expected?
Yet before Stan could inquire further, Yelena clarified with definitive sharpness, “It’s purely my personal venture p>
“Your own venture?” Stan blurted out, instinctively skeptical. “What exactly are you planning p>
Despite his initial reluctance, Stan considered Yelena’s influential backing from both the Harris and Barton families. He realized he was in no position to outright reject her proposal. His best course of action was to play along for now.
“I understand you’re looking to offload a production line,” Yelena continued smoothly. “Why not consider selling it to me p>
Stan stiffened, his eyes widening at her.
It wasn’t exactly a secret that he wanted to sell the production line, but only those in the industry who knew him well were aware of it. Clearly, the Harris and Barton families cared about Yelena enough to share even this with her.
Ignoring the possibility that he might be underestimating her, Stan asked, “Okay, but what are you willing to offer p>
He didn’t care who bought it, as long as the price was fair. Otherwise, Yelena would just be getting the better of him.
“Nine million,” Yelena offered.
“You’re surely joking. Just the equipment cost me more than that. You expect to take it for so little?” Stan laughed dismissively.
Yelena met his laughter with a steady gaze.
“You and I both know the issues with your line. You might manage to deceive those who are clueless with a high price, but not me. And honestly, I doubt you’ll find another buyer besides myself p>
Yelena’s candidness caught Stan off guard, making him reconsider. He wondered if she was leveraging her connections to pressure him.
Yet, facing the combined might of the Harris and Barton families, Stan recognized his limited options.

“Fine, it’s a deal. I’ll sell it to you p>
“I’ll get my lawyers to work out the specifics with yours p>
After Yelena departed, a smirk played on Stan’s lips. “She’s quite the beginner, believing she’s outsmarted me. She has no idea…” Just as he uttered those words, Stan sensed someone watching him.
Turning, he saw Karlee’s eyes fixed intently on him.
Stan’s face clouded over as he turned to Karlee, his tone harsh. “Remember, you are part of the Herrera family. So if you ever breathe a word p>
Feeling humiliated yet compliant, Karlee nodded quietly, her emotions tangled with anxiety. She owed so much to Yelena, who had tenderly cared for her face.
Would betraying Yelena not wound her deeply? Yet, she couldn’t disregard Stan, her own father.
Karlee felt torn.
She attempted to engage Stan, hoping to sway him, but he dismissed her with a flick of his hand. “Head upstairs, Karlee. Stay out of this p>
With a heavy heart, Karlee reluctantly ascended the stairs.
Meanwhile, Yelena departed from Karlee’s and inadvertently ended up near the Morgan estate. Intent on checking in on Addie, Yelena was shocked to hear distressing screams from within as she approached.
Yelena slipped over the wall and hurried toward the sound.
In the backyard, she discovered Addie gripping a man’s hand that was forcefully driving scissors into his leg.
