Chapter 817: Going Back on Her Words
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing Connor’s words, Ruby’s expression immediately turned ugly.

She felt that his condition was too unreasonable.

After all, a ten percent stake in the Yandall family was worth several billion dollars.

She couldn’t possibly agree to his request.

However, Connor’s attitude was extremely firm, showing no intention of changing his mind or giving Ruby any room for negotiation.

This left her at a loss, standing dumbfounded in place.

If she were to give up ten percent of the Yandall family’s shares, she would definitely be very unwilling.

But if she didn’t give up these shares, Connor wouldn’t hand over the Red Sun Ginseng!

So at this moment, her expression was filled with distress, and she instinctively turned her head to look at Ted.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Ted’s eyes as he softly said to Connor, “Mr. Connor, isn’t ten percent of the shares a bit too much? After all, the entire Yandell family is not something that Miss Ruby alone can decide…”

“Do you think it’s too much?” Connor replied casually to Ted, then continued, “But have you considered that if I don’t give you the Red Sun Ginseng, then Miss Ruby’s father’s illness won’t improve. At that time, the potential losses to the Yandall family won’t be just ten percent of the shares, it could be even more. However, if you’re willing to give up that ten percent of the shares, not only can Miss Ruby’s father recover, but you can also slowly recoup what you’ve lost so far. So how do you plan to deal with this issue? Think it over and get back to me…”

After hearing his words, Ruby’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

Because he was right, if her father couldn’t get better, the potential losses they would suffer wouldn’t be just ten percent of the shares, but much more.

And that ten percent of the shares could also save her father’s life.

So no matter how you looked at it, agreeing to Connor’s request was the best choice for her!

But even if she agreed to give up the Yandall family’s shares, she still felt very unwilling.

Especially when it came to giving them to someone like Connor, she was even more resentful!

“How have you thought it through?” Connor turned his head to Ruby and asked in a soft voice.

She took a deep breath and then replied in a low voice, “Connor, I can agree to your condition. I can give you ten percent of the Yandall family’s shares, but I don’t have the authority to do that now. I need to wait for my father’s recovery before I can give you those shares…”

“Alright!” Connor nodded lightly and then said to Diana, “Give them the Red Sun Ginseng…”

Diana hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned and headed upstairs.

A few minutes later, she brought out a medicine box containing the Red Sun Ginseng and handed it to Ruby.

After receiving the medicine box, Ruby opened it directly and let Ted carefully inspect it.

“Miss, this is indeed the Red Sun Ginseng!” Ted exclaimed excitedly to Ruby.

Upon hearing Ted’s words, a hint of excitement flashed in Ruby’s eyes.

After all the effort, Ruby finally obtained the Red Sun Ginseng!

“Connor, as long as my father gets better, I will have my father give you ten percent of the shares. As for the medicinal herbs you need, I will have them delivered to you soon,” she said to himwith a serious tone.

“Good!” Connor nodded gently.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now!” Her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as she spoke softly to him.

He nodded again.

With that, she directly led Ted and the others towards the exit of the hotel.

…

After leaving the hotel, Ruby turned her head and said to a bodyguard behind her, “Later, have your men deliver all the medicinal herbs Connor requested to him…”

“Yes, Miss!” The bodyguard nodded hurriedly.

But after hesitating for a moment, he asked Ruby in a low voice, “Miss Ruby, are you really planning to give him ten percent of the shares?”

“Yes, Miss Ruby, I think you should discuss this matter with your family first!” Ted also advised in a low voice.

Upon hearing Ted and the bodyguard’s words, her eyes flashed with anger. She stared at them with watery eyes and shouted, “This Connor is really greedy! Not only did he take so many medicinal herbs from me, but he also took one billion in cash from me. And now he wants ten percent of the shares of our Yalland family. I think he’s gone mad!”

“What do you mean, Miss?” Ted hesitated for a moment and asked her in a low voice.

“What do I mean?” she sneered and said lightly, “Since Connor gave me the Red Sun Ginseng, I will give him what I promised according to the agreement. But as for that ten percent of the shares, he shouldn’t even dream of it. I absolutely won’t give it to him…”

“Miss, didn’t you just promise Mr. Connor? Are you planning to go back on your word now?” Ted’s face changed instantly upon hearing this and he hurriedly whispered.

“So what if I promised him? It was just a verbal agreement between Connor and me. This fool didn’t sign any contract with me, and there were no lawyers present. He doesn’t have any evidence to prove that I promised him. So even if I don’t give him that ten percent of the shares, he can’t do anything to me. Even if he takes me to court, I’m not afraid!” Ruby coldly laughed and continued, “As a businesswoman, I know that what I said to Connor earlier doesn’t hold any legal weight.”

Therefore, even if she decided to go back on her word, Connor wouldn’t have any means to hold her accountable.
