Chapter 59
"I heard you don't wanna sell. So, I won't bother asking to buy." Derek shifted gears, "But I could
consider investing."
Violette's eyes lit up instantly, "Mr. Marcia, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. But before we sign any contracts, there are a couple of things I need to discuss
with you," Derek pulled out a document, "This is a proposal my team and I have been working on these
past couple of days. The Dennis Group, in its current trajectory, won't get far. In business, profit is key.
Only by making a profit can we ensure long-term growth."
Violette took the document and skimmed through it.
"Mr. Marcia, can I take your proposal back, I need a few days talking to my team."
"Of course."
"Alright, and what's the other thing?" Violette took a sip of water and looked at him seriously.
Before the meeting, she didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly.
Now the most crucial part had been settled, so she felt relieved.
"I'm Melinda's brother," Derek candidly said, "We're half-siblings, with the same father but different
mothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the calm on Violette's face vanished.
Melinda... Derek.
No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity with Derek.
He was Melinda's brother!
Violette's relationship with Melinda was terrible, yet her brother wanted to invest in her company...
It was just so absurd!
She couldn't help but doubt Derek's real motive for investing.
"My relationship with Melinda isn't like typical siblings. We have different mothers, and my father gave
me the inheritance rights..." Derek explained.
"Mr. Marcia, are you explaining this to me because you know I don't get along with Melinda? Did she
tell you?" Violette asked cautiously.
"She's smitten with Elijah, and I know about your relationship with him. Even if she didn't tell me, I
could guess she's given you a hard time."
"Yes, our relationship is terrible. So my cooperation with you... I need to think it over carefully." Violette
told the truth.
Derek didn't expect her reaction to be so aggressive.
"Ms. Dennis, you're the heir of the Dennis Group. As the heir, you should put the company's interests
first. You have many employees relying on you. Your issues with Melinda have nothing to do with me,
so you shouldn't misunderstand me because of your feelings towards her. I'm innocent."
Derek's tone was gentle, making it hard to get angry at him regardless of what he said.
"Mr. Marcia, I'm not a professional leader, and the grievances between me and Melinda are not as
simple as you think. You're her brother, so my concerns are only natural." Violette said.
"Then go back and think it over. I'll be waiting for your reply." Derek showed a confident smile.
Violette nodded and left.
The news of SwiftStream Capital preparing to invest in the Dennis Group spread quickly in the industry.
Upon hearing this, Elijah's brows furrowed. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Derek was a cunning egoist.
His investment in the Dennis Group might have other motives.
Although they had known each other for a long time, their relationship was not that good.
If it weren't for Melinda between them, they might have cut ties long ago.
"Elijah, I just called the Dennis Group, and they said Violette met with Derek today and confirmed their
partnership... Derek plans to invest $200 million, and it's hard for Violette to refuse. He's only investing
and won't interfere with the company's internal affairs," Ramsey reported.
Elijah's eyes were sharp, and his voice cold, "I think he wants to use the $200 million to buy Violette!"
