Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 644:

Marissa laughed lightly, her gaze filled with both mockery and amusement. She said sarcastically, “You really know when to seize an opportunity, don’t you? You sold those shares when the price was 22 dollars per share, and now they’re valued at 78 dollars per share. You really expect to get them back at the original price?”

Unable to resist another jab, she added, “Why not just bring a gang and rob us? It’d be simpler, wouldn’t it?”

Sheppard, embarrassed by the ridicule yet steadfast, countered, “When I sold the shares, Moonbeam Gallery was barely afloat. Now that the share price has skyrocketed, it seems like a tremendous loss to me. Daryl has benefited from this.”

Before Marissa could retort, Leila chimed in mockingly, “Are you saying my father took advantage? No one forced your hand to sell those shares. If someone else had bought them, would you dare visit them now and demand the shares at the original price?”

Leila’s sharp comments left Sheppard utterly speechless, hitting him hard.

He turned to Daryl, trying to salvage the situation. “Daryl, I know I’ve made my mistakes. But we’re family, aren’t we? How about giving me another chance with those shares? I could even throw in some extra cash and buy them back for three dollars per share.”

Daryl had often been forgiving of Sheppard’s tendency to seek slight advantages.

Yet, after their recent disagreements, he found himself disillusioned, no longer inclined to overlook Sheppard’s schemes or allow him to meddle with the Moonbeam Gallery.

He responded firmly, “Sorry. I wouldn’t even sell them to you for 100 dollars per share, much less for three.”

“How could you do this?”

A surge of anger washed over Sheppard, taken aback by Daryl’s unwavering stance, especially considering Daryl had always been kind to him before.

But times had changed. Even though he was angry, he knew better than to show arrogance.

Swallowing his pride, he pleaded, “Daryl, please. We’re family. Let’s not get hung up on the past, okay?”

Marissa interjected swiftly, cutting him off with decisive coldness, “Just leave. Even though you share the same last name, we’re strangers now. You don’t need to beg here.”

Sheppard, taken aback, muttered curses directed at Marissa in his mind, then forced a smile and tried another angle. “Come on, Tiffany, don’t be so heartless. Do you really want to see me and my family on the streets, begging?”

Marissa’s response was scornful, “Remember when you wished that fate on us? You said you’d never lift a finger to help us. Now that you’re the one in trouble, you come seeking our help?”

Struck by Marissa’s biting words, Sheppard found himself speechless again. He realized that no plea would sway them. His expression darkened, and he shot Marissa a fierce glare.

As Sheppard’s gaze turned sinister, his voice took on a distinctly vicious tone. “Tiffany, I’ll ask you once more. Do you truly not agree to the deal?”

“No,” Marissa replied with a nonchalant air. “Mr. Sanchez, take care. I won’t see you out.”

“Humph!” Sheppard let out a cold snort
