The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Confrontation_1

Drake Stuart was puzzled by the absence of anyone in the villa when suddenly she heard a voice, causing her to startle.

Following the sound, she caught sight of Greg Jensen’s indifferent face.

Looking down at her from above, Greg said calmly, “Come on up yourself.”

“Alright.”

Drake nodded and made her way up the stairs to the second floor.

Greg looked at her, then without saying a word, walked into the study.

...

Drake didn’t hesitate and followed him in.

“Sit anywhere. Everyone’s out, so sorry for the inconvenience,” Greg said casually.

“You’re too kind, Mr. Jensen.”

Drake slowly took off her coat and then sat down by the tea table.

It was then that Greg noticed Drake really had a great figure.

Her long legs were shapely and well-defined in tight jeans, and her slim waist was subtly accentuated by a loose white chiffon blouse.

Her proud assets stood tall and imposing, catching the eye to the point where it was hard to look away.

Thigh-high boots, jeans, and a chiffon blouse, these three seemingly simple pieces of clothing concealed an astonishing curve within.

They created an allure that was there but not quite, adding an air of enigmatic temptation.

In the midst of this temptation, there was no hint of vulgarity, only an increased sense of nobility.

And her coldly beautiful face, along with a tranquil expression, greatly stirred the conquering impulse in men.

Drake didn’t seem in a hurry to speak, instead, she sat quietly, sipping tea.

Neither was Greg in any rush. He withdrew his gaze, drinking tea and fiddling with the teaware. Whenever Drake’s teacup was empty, he would raise his hand to refill it, and then continue toying with the teaware.

The two sat like that, drinking three rounds of tea before Drake finally became restless.

She cleared her throat and took the initiative, saying, “I believe you already know the purpose of my visit, Mr. Jensen?”

Greg grinned unabashedly, “Purpose? I have no idea.”

“…”

At his words, Drake felt speechless, but remembering the Stuart family’s predicament, she persevered and said:

“Mr. Jensen, my visit this time is mainly to discuss a partnership with you.”

“Partnership?”

Greg spoke playfully, “Didn’t the Stuart family already discuss it with me last time?”

Drake instantly felt awkward, coughed lightly and said, “The last time, indeed, the Stuart family was at fault, and I hope Mr. Jensen will be magnanimous…”

Before she finished, Greg interrupted, “Why should I be magnanimous?”

Drake was momentarily taken aback, but quickly regained her composure, musing, “Then shall we discuss it in a different way?”

Greg smiled and nodded, “That’s better. We’re all busy people, so let’s not waste each other’s time.”

Upon hearing this, Drake also smiled and said, “The Stuart family will step back from Qin province, but you, Mr. Jensen, will have to provide a fifty percent profit.”

Greg furrowed his brows, remaining silent.

Drake smoothed a stray lock of hair behind her ear and said leisurely, “Of course, these profits wouldn’t come at no cost to you, Mr. Jensen.

In the profits from seven provinces, the Stuart family will relinquish a twenty percent share to you as compensation, and we also hope that Mr. Jensen would lend his support to our Qin province during the seven provinces martial contest.”

Hearing this, Greg couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, thinking that Drake was indeed eloquent, far more formidable than the rest of the Stuart family put together.

The martial contest of the seven provinces was clearly the Stuart family’s own affair, but in her mouth, it had become a matter for the entire Qin province.

Moreover, although the so-called profit from the seven provinces appeared to have increased by ten percent, Greg Jensen still had to allocate five percent of the profits from Qin Province to the Stuart Family.

On the surface, it seemed that Greg Jensen had indeed gained an advantage, but this matter isn’t as simple as having more or less money.

If Greg Jensen continued to pay tribute to the Stuart Family, it would signify his submission to them, and the various families within Qin Province would still look to the Stuart Family as their leader.

So, the words of Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister might seem earnest, but in reality, they’re full of traps.

Greg Jensen looked at her intently and said indifferently, “Since Miss Stuart isn’t sincere, I think we should no longer discuss this partnership.”

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister’s expression changed slightly, and she said, “What does Mr. Jensen mean by this?”

Greg Jensen sneered, “Miss Stuart’s words, both stated and implied, are full of traps. Do you not understand what I mean?”

Upon hearing this, Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister laughed again. This time her smile was even more radiant than before.

“Mr. Jensen truly is a young and brilliant hero, with such acute intuition. It seems my probing was somewhat superfluous.”

“Probing?”

Greg Jensen looked at her playfully, his gaze gradually turning icy.

“Mr. Jensen, please don’t be angry. Let me finish my words,” she said with a composed expression.

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister continued, “As an established and longstanding noble family, the Stuart Family must understand the capabilities of a potential partner before choosing one.

If Mr. Jensen’s strength lies solely in martial prowess, that would not suffice for the Stuart Family to lower their posture for cooperation. What do you think, Mr. Jensen?”

Greg Jensen nodded slightly, signaling her to continue. @@novelbin@@

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister smiled and went on, “If Mr. Jensen is willing to cooperate with the Stuart Family, not only will all profits of Qin Province be yours alone without us taking a penny,

but the Stuart Family is also willing to offer you twenty percent of the profits as a token of our gratitude. What do you think of this condition, Mr. Jensen?”

Greg Jensen raised his eyebrows but remained silent.

Honestly, the conditions offered by Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister cannot be said to be good; they are, in fact, too generous, at least compared to the previous terms, they are truly earnest.

But still, it wasn’t what Greg Jensen wanted.

Because according to Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister’s terms, the Stuart Family would still have the upper hand, and Greg Jensen would still be an employee.

Seeing his reaction, Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister couldn’t help but feel surprised and said, “Mr. Jensen is still not satisfied?”

“That’s right,” Greg Jensen nodded and said.

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister’s brow furrowed slightly as she said, “Then what does Mr. Jensen propose…”

Greg Jensen looked at her expressionless face and calmly said, “All industries are to be managed by the Stuart Family; I want sixty percent of the total revenue.”

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister’s face changed slightly, and she said, “Impossible; sixty percent is too outrageous…”

Greg Jensen smiled and shook his hand, saying, “Perhaps Miss Stuart might like to hear my reasoning, how about it?”

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister calmed down and nodded, saying, “Please go ahead, Mr. Jensen.”

“I’d like to ask Miss Stuart a question first: How much of the seven provinces’ pie could the Stuart Family actually claim?”

“This…”

Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister suspected that Greg Jensen was probing for the Stuart Family’s secrets, but looking into his clear eyes, she felt she was overthinking.

In the midst of her hesitation, she heard Greg Jensen speak, “Based on the results of the last seven provinces martial competition, the Stuart Family has about fifteen percent of the total, barely reaching the average.

This indicates that the Stuart Family is mid-tier among the seven provinces.

And this year, with the Stuart Family’s strongest warrior, Drake Stuart, away seeking a breakthrough, he definitely can’t return in time.

Hence, if the Stuart Family cannot find a strong ally for this year’s competition between the seven provinces, your share will further diminish.”

Greg Jensen revealed a confident smile, “Miss Stuart, am I right?”

At this moment, Drake Stuart’s Ninth Sister’s complexion had completely darkened.
