Chapter 19: Shawn's Problem!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone's hearts sank upon hearing Shawn's words.
Someone could not help but ask, "Why? Didn't you say that Jeffrey had enough stock last time? He should have just already sold them by now."
"That's right. Shawn, go give it a try. Perhaps he's waiting for you."
"We can only rely on you, Shawn. I've invested all my money into this. If I can't sell it, I'll die!"
"Yeah, we regret it. Shawn, please save us. It's all our fault!"
"Shawn, your uncle caused me to end up like this. You can't just let me die."
"Shawn, Raul is gone. You have a monopoly here now. We'll support you without hesitation. Take our support. Please."
...
Nina hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Shawn, don't be so calculative now. They're all miserable. You're the only one who can help them. You can't leave them in the lurch."
Shawn sighed and looked down. "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to help, but this time, Raul really hurt me. I promised Jeffrey a long and stable supply, but I broke my promise the next day."
"Everyone should know that the market is like a battlefield, especially for things like purslane. It's very volatile, and once I can't sustain supply, we will lose all our market share in an instant. So, when he found out that I can't sustain supply, Jeffrey gave up on me!"
After that, Shawn squeezed out a few tears.
If Raul and his son were here right now, they would definitely rush up to Shawn and grab him by the collar and swear at him.
F*ck!
Why are you pretending?
If Jeffrey had really given up on you, how could he not have agreed to work with us?
All of this was just a trap laid by you. How shameless!!!
Everyone fell silent upon hearing Shawn's words.
If that was the case, then they had no way out!
At this moment, someone said, "Shawn, is there really no other way? Can you introduce Jeffrey to us? I'll talk to him on behalf of everyone. We've already fallen too deep. There's no turning back!"
Hearing someone speak, Shawn immediately locked onto that person.
He frowned.
Who was this guy?
He wanted to speak to Jeffrey on behalf of everyone!
Although Jeffrey would never listen to him, Shawn had already treated this place as his backyard. There was no way he could allow another Raul to appear.
Regardless of whether this guy could succeed or not, he would still have a high prestige among this group of people. This was very disadvantageous to Shawn!
With that in mind, Shawn made his decision to use the choice control system.
He would let the rest destroy this guy's plan.

Soon, someone said, "Don't make it sound so nice, Stan. Others might not know about your character, but I do. You're famous for being cunning. You probably want to be the next Raul."
"That's right, who doesn't know that you've invested the most? I think you're most likely thinking of leaving us behind."
"No one can trust you. I don't agree with you going to Jeffrey!"
Stan's face turned dark after hearing objections.
He cursed in his heart. Damn it, what were these people thinking?
Shouldn't the priority be forcing Shawn to introduce Jeffrey to them?
Poor Stan had no idea that Shawn was behind all this. He had no chance of stirring up conflict.
Someone else asked: "Shawn, is there really nothing you can do?"
Shawn looked over. It was the mother of Tracey, his childhood sweetheart, her name was Clara.
Back then, she was also the one who looked down on and slandered him when Raul was around.
Because Raul's son, Simon, had a thing for Tracey, the parents on both sides agreed.
Therefore, this family made use of their relationship with Raul to increase their investment.
It was normal at first, but after tasting the benefits, they mortgaged their house, car, and borrowed a large amount of cash.
They did not expect to encounter such a situation right after they started investing.
Truly, you reap what your sow.
Shawn was not a petty person, but he really looked down on these people.
You called me a piece of trash before anything happened and now you're trying to please me?
Seriously?!
When Shawn did not say anything, Clara spoke again: "Shawn, Tracey has been talking about you at home. I was wondering when I can meet with your parents and talk about you two. You and Tracey have a great relationship, and you're so outstanding. We're relieved that Tracey is with you."
Shawn pursed his lips upon hearing Clara's words. She was planning to make a deal using Tracey.
But that was normal. Otherwise, their family would be completely finished.
But how could Shawn let her get what she wanted?
He could not allow such a person to gain any bargaining power. Otherwise, she would take advantage of him.
Shawn did not want a problem like that.
Hence, another lucky person was chosen.

Soon, someone said: "Clara, you really aren't a good person. You are selling your own daughter for your own benefit!"
"Didn't you say that Shawn was a good-for-nothing? You called him narrow-minded and petty. Only Raul's son, Simon, is suitable for your Tracey. Why have you changed your mind?"
"Is your face made of rubber? The country's main battle tanks should use your skin. That way, even an atomic bomb wouldn't be able to penetrate it."
Everyone looked at Clara with disdain.
Feeling everyone's gaze on her, Clara lowered her head in shame.
She regretted it!
She really regretted it.
She should not have been so ruthless back then!
She did not expect Raul to be so unreliable. It was fine if he cheated others, but he even cheated his future in-laws. He was simply not fit to be human!
But it was too late to say anything now. Perhaps this was retribution!
At this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast was amused by these shameless people.
Initially, they sympathized with these people.
Who would have thought that they were all like this!
There was still internal strife in such a situation.
They were truly beyond help!
At the side, Nina was also speechless!
Her beautiful eyes were drooping and her good-looking mouth was pouting. It was as if she was telling the audience on television that she did not know these people!
However, in Shawn's case, this situation was exactly what he wanted now!
