Chapter 263
Stanley Bell's expression changed for the worse. The only person that had such control over Bell Enterprise's shares was none other than Jay Ares.
Only after a step too late did he realize that when all the investors pulled out from their project, it was not because the subsidiary companies were making their own decision. Instead, they had received orders from Jay. 2
When he recalled the recent interactions he had had with Jay, even a fool could tell as to why Jay was attacking.
"Master Ares, oh, Master Ares. How could you be so cruel toward Bell Enterprise just because of a woman? Don't you know that women are the root of all troubles?"
Nancy paled when she heard what her father had lamented. She felt that it was unfair. 'That Rose Boyle is no match for me in all aspects. Not to mention, she's from such a lowly background. Why would Master Ares treat her so well and even make Bell Enterprise his enemy?
'I've been showering him with my affection for so many years. However, I was unable to win against a wild country bumpkin?" "Dad, is it true that Master Ares is exacting revenge on Bell Enterprise because of Rose Loyle?" Nancy could not accept the fact that she had lost to Rose.
Chairman Bell shot a disappointing glare at nancy. "It's all your fault. As an aristocratic lady, why did you pick a fight with a country bumpkin like Rose Loyle? Now, not only have you failed to gain the upper hand, but you even have to pay the price for it."
There was anger in Nancy's eyes as she screamed, " Dad, if it weren't for Rose Loyle, I would already be married to Master Ares and would be Mrs. Ares. I hate her for having ruined my happiness."
Bell Chairman advised sadly, "If it isn't yours in the first place, you'll never have it. Rose may have a lowly background and poor education, but she has a good life fated for her. She gave Master Ares two sons. Master Ares is warning us to never harm Rose again by giving Bell Enterprise a hard time."
Nancy clenched her hand into a tight fist. She thought that a majestic and youthful young man like Jay would never protect a woman and thus she never would have guessed that Rose was a special case for him...
Jealousy enveloped Nancy so much that she gritted her teeth.
"Fortunately, Old Master Ares is willing to step in and help us put in a good word. Otherwise, with Master Ares' killer instincts, Bell Enterprise would be in grave danger."
Bell Chairman placed all of his hope in Old Master Ares in regards to saving Bell Enterprise; he was holding on to that sliver of luck that Old Master Ares would place pressure on Jay and force him to withdraw the current pressure on Bell Enterprise.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Old Master Ares did give Jay a call, trying to intercede for Bell Enterprise. "Jay, Uncle Bell called me earlier and told me that your people have made a few mistakes. They've collectively withdrawn all their investments in Bell Enterprise. Is there such a thing?"
Old Master Ares thought that Jay had no knowledge of it, but Jay merely answered, "Hmm."
Old Master Ares was shocked. "You're aware of it?"
"Yes, because I gave them those instructions," Jay said nonchalantly.
Old Master Ares could not figure out what the reason behind it could be. "Jay, why are you doing so? The Bells and Ares have been close partners for many years..."
Jay interrupted him, "Didn't you tell me that there's no such thing as friends forever in the business world? Their principles have crossed the line, so they should suffer the consequences."
Old Master Ares remained silent for a while before saying, "I know that you've always been clear about your limits. I don't understand the full picture, so I can't pass any judgment. However, I must remind you that to err is human, to forgive is divine!" 1 "Understood."
After Old Master Ares ended the call, he asked his helper to send a call over to Stanley Bell.
"Tell him that Master Ares has grown up and is now independent. He no longer listens to his grandfather."
"Yes, old master."
