Chapter 242


    “That’s right. We’ve already discussed everything. All you have to do now is to sign the papers. Why


    did you pay us the deposit if you’re so cautious in the first ce?” Mason jeered at Levi.


    “Are you trying to force a deal?” Levi asked.


    “When did I do that?” Mason sneered.


    Levi disregarded him and started to scan through the agreement.

    He grimaced after a short while and turned to ask Elena, “What was the price we agreed upon


    yesterday?”


    Elena answered, “two hundred million. We paid a deposit of fifty million yesterday.”


    Levi sneered. “That’s not right, Mr. Pena. two hundred million was the price we agreed upon after the


    discussion yesterday. Why did the figure be two billion on the agreement?”


    Everyone gasped after listening to Levi’sment. They’ve marked up the price by ten folds!


    The other executives were shocked after flipping through the agreement. They questioned Mason.


    “What do you mean by this, Mr. Pena? Why is it two billion listed on the contract now? You better


    exin yourself!”


    Mason nced at the crowd nonchntly. “Exnation? Hmph! I’ll be frank with you guys! two


    hundred million was the price for yesterday. This factory is worth two billion today!”


    “That’s improper, Mr. Pena. How can you amend the agreement without mutual consent at thest


    minute?”


    “That’s right. You are viting the contract.”


    Elena and the others chided.


    Mason said with a smile. “Is there a rule stating that I cannot amend the price? Over tenpanies


    contacted mest night, telling me they are interested in purchasing my factory. Someone even offered


    me three billion. So two billion is already considered a cheap price!”


    That kind of situation wasmonly seen on the business field.


    A lot of businessmen would change their stance at thest minute because they regretted the offer they


    epted. Last-minute changes were either due to the businessmen’s greediness or due to underhand


    tactics bypetitors.


    Everyone looked at Levi to sought out his opinion.


    Levi beamed at Mason. “In that case, return us the deposit. We will not be buying your factory now.” It


    is not a difficult task to look for a simr factory like this. I do not have to concede under this kind of


    circumstance.


    Elena, who was in charge of the finance department, said, “Please return the fifty million deposit to us,


    Mr. Pena.”


    Unexpectedly, Mason looked up and asked with a confused look. “Deposit? I don’t know what you’re


    talking about.”


    Elena exined patiently. “We paid you fifty million as a deposit yesterday after the discussion with


    yourpany. I even have the receipt here with me!”


    Mason feigned ignorance. “Did something like that happen?”


    “What’s going on? Are you trying to y the fool?” Elena was trembling with rage.


    “I am not ying the fool. I really don’t know anything about this. Look around and speak for yourself.


    Are the people who engaged in discussion with you yesterday here in this room?” Mason asked.


    Elena nced at her surroundings. They’re not here.


    “You got cheated by someone else! Ourpany went bankrupt a long time ago. They were merely


    the temporary workers for our factory. I think they stole ourpany’s stamp and signed the receipt for


    you. They’re the ones that scammed your money! So look for them if you want your deposit back


    because I have got nothing to do with this!”


    Everyone was dumbfounded after listening to Mason. First, he changed the price from two hundred


    million to two billion. Now he’s trying to scam our deposit. This is the first time we’ve seen someone as


    shameless and despicable as him after working in this field for so many years!


    However, Levi merely smiled. “So, you do not n to return us the fifty million right, Mason Pena?”
