Chapter 249 - I want to void the agreement (1/2)

Hearing that Jeff wants to know details of the agreement with Lambert, Oscar observed Jeff for some time while trying to read him. He was proud to see that Jeff's expression didn't reveal anything other than confidence. Oscar stood up and took a folder from his safe in the back room.

He handed folder to Jeff. ”This is information on their current assets. In summary: they will merge with White corp. Isabella has no business or management knowledge. Lambert needs someone who will take over his company after he retires… and that will be you.”

Jeff frowned while taking the folder from his father's hands. ”Is there a written contract?”

”No. Verbal only.” Oscar scrutinized Jeff while he flipped through papers in the folder. ”Where are you going with this? What's with the sudden interest?”

Jeff raised his index finger, indicating to his father to give him a minute. After some time, he kept the folder on the table and looked at his father seriously. ”Based on this, their assets are worth about $300M. Is that correct?”

Oscar contemplated for few seconds before agreeing with Jeff's estimate.

”So, with this deal, White corp. gets $300M worth of assets, and Lambert gets someone to manage his business after he retires. Correct?”

”You skipped the part where you marry Isabella, but other than that, it's correct… I don't understand where you are going with this.”

”I want to void the agreement.” Jeff admitted.

Oscar's eyes narrowed in disapproval.

”Wait, let me finish...” Jeff said before Oscar can object. ”If I can make it so that each side gets something of the same or better value, there will be no objections. Can you agree with that?”

”I'm listening.” Oscar leaned back into his chair.

Jeff thought for some time before speaking. ”If I get someone else who he approves of, to lead their company, Lambert will agree to void the agreement. Is that something you can confirm?”

”I believe that is the case, but I would need to check with him.”

Jeff gave a small nod and continued. ”And if I can get $300M or more to White corp. instead of this merger, will you approve of voiding the contract?”

Oscar's eyes flashed at Jeff's words. ”How much more?”

”Double.” Jeff was confident.

Oscar was interested. ”In what time?”
