Chapter 575 - Great Ocean Resort (4) (2/2)
Cold sweat beaded Dorian's forehead as he thought that Jeffrey White would not call them here unless he is confident that this will work. And why would it work? Does he have something that will force them to agree to this?
Dorian tugged Rachel's arm indicating to her to sit down. This is not the time or place to act rashly. No matter what, they can't afford to offend Jeffrey White. He needs to understand the situation first.
”Why do you think we will agree?”, Dorian asked apprehensively.
Jeff's expression didn't give him any answers.
Steve walked to Dorian and placed one large envelope in front of him before heading back to Jeff's side.
Dorian reluctantly took the envelope and peeked inside. He thought he will pass out when he saw photos.
”If you don't agree to sell me your share of Golden Ocean Resort, not only your wife, but everyone else will see these.”, Jeff's voice was like ice piercing Dorian's heart.
Dorian didn't take photos out, but there was several dozens of photos. Just by glancing he could tell that those are photos of him and young females, doing indecent acts. Dorian had a thing for young girls, but he was confident that he was careful. How did Jeff find out about this? Who took these photos?
His children Rachel and Spencer leaned closer to see what is in the envelope, but he swiftly closed it.
Dorian's hands were shaking. He took a deep breath, looked at Jeff and gave a small nod.
”What?!!” Both Rachel and Spencer screamed in unison. They were not sure what is going on. How can their father full of pride and self-esteem suddenly bow to someone who is half his age?
”Dad, you can't be serious!” Spencer could not believe that his dad will sell his 60% ownership of the resort.
”Shut up!”, Dorian squeezed through his teeth.
Dorian watched in disbelief as Steve passed him the paperwork necessary for transfer of ownership. He even gave him the pen. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to lose his shares. His eyes popped out when he saw that he is giving his share of the resort for $60.
”CEO White…”, Dorian said in shaky voice. ”This price… this… how can I accept this?”
”One dollar for every percent. I think it's a fair price.”, Jeff responded with a straight face. ”If you are not convinced that this price is reasonable, you can look inside that envelope again.”
Dorian thought that he is going to pass out. His head was spinning, and he had difficulty breathing. He didn't want to sign the paperwork, but what choice does he have? On one side he loses his income from the resort, and on the other is his reputation, his marriage. Everyone will abandon him if these photos get leaked! He swallowed hard and lowered his hand to start signing.
”Dad!” Rachel exclaimed and grabbed his hand, preventing him from signing.
”Let go!” Dorian yanked his hand. ”I don't have a choice!”
