Chapter 78 Bargaining
Clenching her fists, Erica asked, "Unless what?"
She felt her heart sink deeper and deeper as she waited for Eliana’s reply.However, the humiliation that she was expecting to face did not come.
"Unless you lower the price of the pink diamonds by 5%," Eliana said with a sly smile.
Maurice was intrigued by her answer.He did not expect her to be so good at doing business.
Although she was eager to get those pink diamonds, she stayed calm in front of Erica as she bargained with her.
Seeing her handling the situation so calmly, he was surprised.
After hearing Eliana’s request, Erica refused instantly, "No way!"
Even though she could compromise and bow down to Eliana, she could never lower the price of those pink diamonds.

What was even the point of her getting humiliated if the Harrison Group failed to pay off the remaining debts? If Asher found out that the reason such a thing happened was because she had offended Eliana, then he would divorce her without any hesitation and kick her out of the house.
“No?"
Pretending to be surprised, Eliana looked at her and said, "Mrs.Harrison, it looks like you’re not that interested to cooperate with us."
Her voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm.
Gritting her teeth, Erica replied with a forced smile, "I obviously want to cooperate with you.And I sincerely hope that our past grudges will not affect either of the companies." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing those words, a hint of darkness clouded Eliana’s eyes.She felt like she did not need to be reasonable or decent when dealing with a woman like Erica.
"You have to reflect on yourself, then.Who threw a tantrum in the CEO’s office, ignoring the line that separates public and private lives? It looks like you greatly contributed to the potential bankruptcy of the Harrison Group."
"Eliana!"
Eliana’s words infuriated Erica so much that she felt a sudden urge to pounce on her and rip her to shreds.
At that moment, Corbin suddenly glanced at his phone and announced, "Mr.Moran, there are some people causing trouble at the company’s entrance."
With a frown, Maurice asked in reply, "What’s their deal?"
"They… They apparently followed Mrs.Harrison here to collect debts," Corbin said, glancing at Erica.
"They seem to be the creditors of the Harrison Group."
"What? Our creditors?"
Erica froze in panic.She did not expect them to follow her all the way here.
If she had been outside instead of being in the Moran Group now, then… A cold shiver ran down her spine at the thought of it, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Panicking, she grabbed Eliana’s hand and said, "I agree! I agree! I can lessen the price of the pink diamonds by 5%.Are you happy now?"
Eliana looked down at her with a smile on the corners of her lips.
"I’m sorry.That was the price I offered a few minutes ago.Now I have changed my mind."
"What?"
Erica looked at her in disbelief.She then reached out to pull her.
"How dare this b***h take advantage of my situation to rob me? She’s pushing her luck!’ However, Eliana swiftly moved her hand, grabbing Erica’s wrist, and twisting it.
"Ah!" Erica screamed in pain.
"Let go of me!"
Eliana glared at her and hissed, "Is this your way of cooperating? As soon as you arrived here, you caused a fuss, and now, you’re trying to hit me."
By then, Maurice also lost his patience and ordered, "Corbin, throw her out!"
Hearing that, Eliana immediately loosened her grip.
Unable to struggle anymore, Erica withdrew her hand, took a few steps back, and fell on the ground.She looked like a disheveled clown with messy hair and ruined clothes.
"…I’m sorry!"
Erica cowered and clung to Eliana’s foot.
"Give me one more chance! Please! We’ve been acquaintances for so many years, ight?"
As Eliana looked down at her, some distant memories flashed through her mind.They had indeed known each other for a long time, and Erica had once been her best friend.
However, she had later framed her, taken away her fiance from her, and had thrown her into the ocean… Remembering those things, Eliana felt like someone was stabbing her in the heart.
After all, she had almost died because of Erica.
She had always been such a good friend to her, so why did she end up suffering because of their friendship? "Why? Since we’ve known each other for so long, I want to know the reason you despise me so much."
