Chapter 1181 Dina Was Mean And Bitter (1/2)

The moment Nora noticed that Darren was crossing the line, she tugged at his sleeve and shook her head slightly.

Carlos furrowed his brows at Nora when he saw what she had done, disappointment gleaming wetly in his eyes. Feigning a smile, Carlos said, ”Mr. Xu if you've come all the way just to say that, then I'm afraid you've wasted your time inviting me here!”

In the grip of silent panic, Nora's eyes widened and her breathing skipped for half a second.

Fraught with despair, both of her hands fell aof their own accord and she didn't know what to do.

Darren replied, still with the same terrifying smile on his face, ”Mr. Li, all right then, let's get to the point. I need your help to go back to Z Country. I am now the majority shareholder of HT Group. If you can provide me with safe passage, I promise to give you 20% of my shares afterwards.”

Carlos scoffed, stifling his urge to laugh at the man's face. He then drank an entire glass of wine with one gulp and said, ”Mr. Xu, I think you have clearly overestimated me. I am just an ordinary businessman. There is nothing I can do about that.”

Although Nora was not as smart as Dina, even she knew that Darren just wanted to speak with Carlos because his grandfather was an influential man in Z Country. Unfortunately, it seemed as though his devious schemes had come to nothing.

”Mr. Li, you don't have to turn me down in such a hurry. You can go back and think about it carefully,” Darren said to Carlos.

Darren looked calm on the surface, but the hand with which he was holding the glass of red wine was shaking uncontrollably. It was almost as if he could no longer hold back his anger.

”No, thanks. That won't be necessary. Darren, you don't even have what it takes to go back to your own country. Why would I go up against the Ke Family and Jacob for you? I don't want to get involved in your dirty business!”

Carlos replied, squinting contemptuously at the man in front of him. His gaze shifted towards Nora for a second and then he looked away instantly.

”Mr. Xu, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'd like to get some rest. Thank you for the lovely evening,” said Carlos.

With a courteous nod, he picked up his dinner jacket and walked out of the private box without even looking back.

The moment the door was closed, Darren's anger couldn't be kept at bay any longer. In a frenzy, he stood up and kicked the table in front of him.
