Chapter 76 If You Can't Get It, Destroy It Early

"Chris, this is a negotiation between us and the Morgan family. I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

Daniel showed no courtesy in front of Chris, calling him by his first name without any mercy.

He really couldn't stand someone who constantly targeted him, acted over-the-top in daily life, but was actually mean-spirited inside.

"I know, I know, Daniel, don't look so serious. How long has it been since we last met? What I mean is, the three of us..."

He glanced at Elsie and added, "The three of us, plus this beautiful lady, Ms. Moore, let's have dinner tonight, have some drinks, and talk this whole thing through properly."

"Talk about what? A celebration dinner for the Wilson family and the Morgan family? You from the Diaz family tried to steal the deal and failed, but if you want to join, that's even better—it'll show how gracefully the Diaz family can accept defeat."

Daniel sneered sarcastically.

"Right, a celebration dinner, yes, yes, yes! Daniel, you always have the best ideas! Let's call it a celebration dinner tonight!"

"What stupid scheme are you plotting? I'm warning you not to play any tricks."

Daniel stood up, ready to take Rhett to his office to sign the contract.

If Chris went crazy and tore up the agreement on the spot, there would be nothing he could do about it.

"What tricks? Daniel, is that what you think of me? We haven't seen each other in years, and you've become so petty."

Chris talked nonsense, then paused and said seriously:

"The reason I'm calling it a celebration dinner tonight is that I'm suggesting this contract becomes a three-way partnership. The Diaz family joins in, too. We all make money together. So wouldn't tonight be a celebration dinner for all three families!"

Elsie watched Chris acting crazy, feeling something was off.

But she felt that Chris wasn't actually stupid—he must have his reasons for saying this.

"Dream on!"

Daniel threw out those words, turned and left, with Rhett and Elsie following closely behind.

"Daniel, your contract is twenty million dollars plus 2% of Wilson Group shares. You really think I don't know? You really think the Wilson family is so rich that the Diaz family can't afford this money?"

Chris shouted from behind.

Daniel suddenly froze, stiffly turning around to stare hard at Chris.

The contract amount was confidential and represented the Wilson family's bid to the Morgan family, which theoretically meant the Wilson family was offering more than the Diaz family this time.

But how did Chris know the contract amount? Impossible—the confidentiality measures were so thorough!

While thinking, something occurred to him.

He suddenly stared at Elsie.

Staring hard, with infinite anger!

Besides her, who else could have leaked the contract details to outsiders!

"The Diaz family offers fifty million dollars and 3% of Diaz Group shares!"

Chris raised his hand and shouted loudly, in an extremely arrogant tone. His phone showed an active call, with the contact name clearly reading Otto!

When helping Elsie organize the materials earlier, he was very lucky to see the contract amount and immediately sent a message home.

A few seconds later, a message came back: Get the Morgan family at any cost.

So from that moment until now, Chris's phone had been on the call.

This meant that what Rhett said was also heard by Otto.

All of this was within Chris's control.

"I've decided to sign the contract with the Wilson family."

Rhett said calmly. He was saying this to his father, Otto.

On the other end of the phone, after a long silence, Otto's voice came through:

"Rhett, you've thought about this well. People are the foundation of success. I'm pleased you've realized this."

"Now let me teach you another lesson. In business negotiations, when you hold the advantage, never make promises to anyone. We'll sell to the highest bidder. Come back. The contract isn't urgent—we'll sign another day."

"Daniel, please give my regards to your father, Gray. Chris, you too—give my regards to your father, Oscar. This conference call ends here."

Otto hung up.

Daniel was burning with rage, wanting to tear Elsie apart.

Elsie only now realized that Chris must have accidentally seen the amount when helping her pick up the materials.

But would Daniel believe her if she told him this?

No, he wouldn't. At this moment, she understood Daniel's look—she wasn't just a woman who staged a sob story to gain his sympathy, but also a traitor who leaked company secrets.

Even if she got past Daniel, would Wren, Jada, and Aria let her off?

In the end, it was her own carelessness that caused the materials to fall to the floor.

Her heart went cold. She was completely finished now.

"Chris... you! Despicable!"

Elsie said, trembling.

"You peeked at the materials—do you have no shame at all!"

Rhett also realized what had happened and shouted angrily!

"Rhett, your father just taught you a lesson about selling to the highest bidder. Now let me teach you one—all's fair in war! In business competition, besides profit, everything else is fake!"

"You just used me as leverage to fight for benefits for Ms. Moore here. So, how was my move? Wasn't it way more exciting than what you just did?"

Chris had the attitude of a complete victor.

He straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, walked in front of Daniel, tilted his head up slightly—Daniel was a bit taller than him—and smiled:

"Daniel, do you remember? When you were little, you mocked me for being a head shorter than you. What did I say then?"

"I said, anyone who mocks me for being short, I'll cut off their head. That way, you'll all be as tall as me."

"Of course, I wouldn't dare touch your noble head, but making the Wilson family bleed a little—I can do that. Go back and discuss with your dad and uncles how to compete with the Diaz family. If that doesn't work, just raise the stakes. What's the big deal? The Wilson family is so big and wealthy—do you really care about this money?"

Chris patted Daniel's shoulder, made a funny face, and said.

After speaking, he walked up to Elsie, leaned forward slightly, and gave a very gentlemanly bow.

"Ms. Moore, thank you for your help today. Without you, the Diaz family would have missed a very high-quality client. Thank you—we're back in the advantageous position again."

Elsie's face darkened as she turned her body away. There was no need to respect Chris anymore.

No matter who he was, today Chris had completely set her up.

"Despicable!"

Elsie said coldly.

Chris didn't care and turned to walk leisurely toward the door.

Today's gains were already rich enough—a complete success.

Suddenly, Chris stopped, turned around, and winked at Elsie, saying, "Oh, by the way, Ms. Moore."

"If you can't stay at PAT Marketing Company anymore, you're welcome to come to Diaz Group. I really appreciate talented people like you. Whatever treatment Daniel offered you, I'll double it. You're welcome to join us."

Chris naturally believed Elsie wouldn't be able to come.

But someone like Elsie staying at PAT Marketing Company would eventually be a threat to the Diaz family.

She was beautiful and excellent, he himself was even attracted to her.

But what you can't have, destroy it early.
