982 Words
Seeing Jonathan still there, Emily became more impatient and angrier. She quickly had her assistant contact the mall staff, saying, "I'm blocked on the first floor. Get down here and fix this, or I won't attend the opening event!"
After hanging up, Emily, wearing sunglasses, crossed her arms and stood coldly among the crowd, enjoying the support from her fans and bodyguards.
"Emily, don't cry. We'll expose this lunatic!"
"Emily, don't be afraid. We're here for you! This guy is done! I'll contact my friends online to help spread the news and insult him!"
"Yeah, and that awful little girl, she should have just died from the fall! Blocking our Emily and causing trouble."
Hearing these harsh words, Jonathan grew angrier, his expression colder.
Soon, a group of people came out of the elevator, led by the mall's general manager and several staff members.
Seeing the crowd clogging the passage, the manager's face changed.
"What's going on? Why is everyone blocking the way?" The manager ran over and, seeing Emily, immediately smiled obsequiously, "Oh, Miss Clark, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you to attend the opening ceremony. What happened to upset you?"
Emily, arms crossed, pointed at Jonathan angrily, "He's blocking my way!"
Hearing this, the manager noticed Jonathan holding Ruby and immediately shouted at him with a cold face, "Who are you? Get out of here! If you disrupt the mall's operations, I can call the police and have you arrested!"
Then, the manager ignored Jonathan, thinking it was just someone blocking the way. He thought, 'This Emily is really as rumored, unfriendly and arrogant! A roadblocker, just casually driving away, no need to call to let himself personally down!'
However, Jonathan's next words made him turn back.
"Are you the general manager of the mall?" Jonathan asked coldly.
The manager turned back, glaring at Jonathan, "I am. What do you want to say?"
Jonathan, looking calm, said, "Good, then I give you a command. Cancel all cooperation with her."
Everyone was shocked, thinking, ‘What? He spoke as if he owned the mall!'
The manager, initially stunned, then sneered, "Sir, do you know what you're saying? Who do you think you are to demand we cancel our cooperation with Miss Clark? Are you crazy? Do you know how much profit Miss Clark brings to our mall? Clearly, you don't, since you're not the owner of this mall and know nothing!"
Emily also sneered arrogantly, muttering, "What a fool! He said such crazy words and he thought he can get the mall to cancel our cooperation!"
Her fans laughed and mocked Jonathan.
"Hahaha! Did you hear that? He wants the mall to cancel their cooperation with Emily. What a joke!"
"What an i***t! He must really think he's the mall's owner!"
"He's clueless! This mall was valued at one hundred million last year! How could he possibly afford it?"
Even the customers who had been supporting him sighed and shook their heads. This young man was too arrogant, demanding a cancellation of cooperation. Now he was truly a laughingstock!
However, what happened next shocked everyone even more.
Jonathan calmly took out his phone, dialed a number, and coldly said, "I want all the shares of this new mall on Maple Avenue within five minutes."
On the other end, Simon's respectful voice replied, "Mr. Parker, please wait. I will arrange for my assistant to make the acquisition immediately."
In just a few seconds, Simon's assistant had pulled up various financial documents for the Maple Avenue mall and said, "Mr. Reed, one hundred million."
Simon didn't blink, quickly replying, "Mr. Parker, the market value of the Maple Avenue mall is one hundred million. Are you sure you want to acquire it?"
Jonathan coldly responded, "Yes. And I want the mall's boss in front of me within ten minutes!"
"Yes, sir!" Simon replied, then quickly had his assistant find the phone number of the Maple Avenue mall boss, William Turner, and called him personally.
At this moment, William was in his office with the mall's top executives discussing the opening ceremony details!
Suddenly, his phone rang. William frowned, glancing at the number, his expression changed dramatically, and he answered the phone, trembling, "Mr. Reed? What can I do for you?"
William never expected that this number, which he had saved years ago without the chance to further his relationship with Simon, would suddenly ring now!
The entire conference room fell silent, everyone looking at William with exaggerated expressions! They speculated, could Simon be investing in the mall?
On the other end, Simon coldly said, "Mr. Turner, my boss wants to acquire your mall for one billion, immediately."
"What?" William was so shocked he stood up from his seat. One hundre million to acquire his mall! He knew the mall's current cost was only seventy million, so he would be making nearly thirty million in profit!
But what shocked William even more was that the richest man in Yonderville, Simon Reed, mentioned that he had a boss. Who could this boss be? Someone who could be Simon's boss must be incredibly powerful! And buying a mall for one hundred million without any inspection.
Realizing there might be more at stake than just money, William didn't hesitate and immediately agreed!
Simon continued, "By the way, my boss is currently on the first floor of your mall, and he wants you there within ten minutes. Also, Mr. Turner, my boss's identity is not something ordinary people can know, so you should know what to do."
"Yes! I understand, I'll head down immediately!" William was sweating with nerves. The richest man's boss was in his mall! The person who casually spent one billion to acquire his mall could significantly impact his future if he could make a connection!
So, William quickly gathered several top executives and rushed to the first floor as fast as they could!
