Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 329

I had thought York would jump at the offer. But what I got instead was a dead silence on the other end of the line.

After a moment, he cleared his throat as if under some immense pressure and said, “Ms. Webster… you’re thinking of selling your shares? Wouldn’t you consider holding onto them?”

“I’m selling.”

Christine chuckled lightly, “Why keep something from an ex? Better to turn it into cash.”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

York choked, launching into a fit of coughing followed by a distinct crash. Either something had slipped from his grip or someone was throwing a tantrum.

Gritting his teeth, York managed to say, “It’s like this, we’re currently halting our share acquisitions. My advice? Hold onto those shares. In less than three months, their market value will double, even surpass the peak times of the Ferguson Group!”

Christine was skeptical, “Double in such a short time?”

“Absolutely, maybe even more.”

York sounded very sure. “Really, persuade Ms. Webster not to sell to anyone.”

“Alright, got it.”

A glint of excitement flashed in Christine's eyes as she ended the call with a flurry of polite thank-yous.

She turned to me, puzzled. “Do you think he was bluffing?”

I shook my head, replying, “Doesn’t seem like it.”

Taking over this mess, RF had a solid chance, not a sure thing, but their odds were good. After all, the Ferguson Group wasn’t lacking in anything but cash. With enough funds, they could turn everything around.

But why was York being so generous? Not only refraining from buying my shares but also going out of his way to advise me? It was strange. This was like handing me money on a platter. For a businessman, that’s overly generous.

After wrapping up the spring collection with Jeff, as well as Adah and Ramona’s custom orders, I was finally ready for some downtime after spinning non-stop for half a month.
