Rose Campbell hurriedly explained, “Derek, I was just trying to save some money. I didn’t know the market price, I thought two million dollars was enough. I didn’t expect hiring a hacker to be so expensive. I… I did it all for you!”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. If we can’t hire Black Tide, we can hire someone else. Didn’t Moore leave several hackers’ contact information before? I don’t believe that only Black Tide can get this job done!”
Derek Evans calmed down and thought about how Black Tide didn’t give him any face and also felt angry. In that case, they wouldn’t look for Black Tide anymore to avoid further humiliation.
The two picked up their phones and made several calls in a row, but when the other party heard that it was the Evans family from Libanan, they all hung up rudely.
When calling the last one, Derek Evans couldn’t help but ask, “I’m offering a high price for this job, why don’t you all accept it?”
The other party sneered disdainfully, “Mr. Evans, you’ve offended Black Tide, which means you’ve offended the entire hacker network. Do you think anyone will take your order?”
“Instead of wasting time on us, you’d better go apologize to Black Tide!”
Derek’s face turned pale, and Rose anxiously asked, “Derek, what’s going on? They…”
Slap!
Derek raised his hand and slapped Rose fiercely.
“You jinx! Why did you have to offend Black Tide? Listen to what you said, you’re just a market shrew! How did I end up marrying a woman like you? If Nina were still here, she would have handled these troubles!”
“Before, it was Nina who helped me manage the company, do business, meet clients, and handle public relations. I didn’t have to worry about anything. What can you do? All you do is spend money and cause me trouble! This time it’s offending Black Tide, who knows who it’ll be next time? Are you trying to get our daughter killed?”
Rose widened her eyes in disbelief, filled with grief and anger.
Nina? After so many years, Derek still remembered that bitch and even compared her to that bitch.
Before Rose could retort, Derek waved his hand in disgust, “Get out! I don’t want to see you!”
Derek suppressed his anger, calmed his emotions, and called Black Tide again.
Xaviera Evans looked at the caller ID, waited for a while, and then answered the call unhurriedly.
“Miss Black Tide, I apologize on behalf of Rose Campbell. I have already scolded her. She’s just a shrew, I hope you won’t take it to heart. Mag needs your help, as long as you agree, we can negotiate the price.”
Derek spoke ingratiatingly, but there was only silence on the other end.
He anxiously waited, and after a long time, a cold laugh came from the other side.
Derek’s heart was hanging by a thread, and his palms were sweating from nervousness.
Black Tide said leisurely, “Mr. Evans, do you think I’m short of money?”
Derek’s heart skipped a beat, and he explained in fear, “Miss Black Tide, I didn’t mean that! As long as you can help Mag, the Evans family will appreciate your kindness in the next life!”
“Next life? Mr. Evans, are you joking with me?”
Xaviera scoffed, “Why bother talking about the next life when you owe me a favor in this one? Besides, a despicable family like yours probably won’t have a next life.”
The atmosphere grew awkward.
Derek gritted his teeth, listening to Black Tide’s mockery but not daring to retort.
Xaviera lay on the couch, her phone on speaker, and said, “Mr. Evans, I’m practical and don’t like empty talk. You decide.”
Derek gritted his teeth, “Miss Black Tide, you want…”
“Shares,” Xaviera got straight to the point, “Since it was Rose who offended me, I want all of the shares she owns.”
“How does Rose have…”
“Don’t want to give?” Xaviera’s voice suddenly turned cold, and she spoke firmly:
“After your original wife died, all the available funds fell into Rose’s hands. She used that money to buy 6% of the Evans Group’s shares. Are you trying to deceive me?”
Derek’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Impossible! How could Black Tide know about this? Madame Evans and Moore didn’t know about this secret; how did Black Tide find out?
