My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1404: Wavering

Chapter 1404: Wavering

Ayan's handsome face was filled with indifference, his gaze as cold as the weather that dared not be looked at for too long. Kerry was also a bit uneasy, not sure if he had said something wrong to provoke Ayan's displeasure, but for Daisy's sake, he naturally had to continue to persevere.

He said, "Mr. Simpson, perhaps my words were offensive, but everyone knows Miss Daisy's feelings for you. Why continue to refuse? If Simpson Group can reach a long-term partnership with Tillery's Corporation, it would be a mutually beneficial and profitable development for both groups in the future. It would be a guaranteed win for Mr. Simpson."

"Just a partnership, why should I involve myself?" Ayan's indifferent gaze swept over Kerry, his expression devoid of warmth as he continued, "You must have been by Mr. Tillery's side for a long time, right? Don't you know that Mr. Tillery has many illegitimate children? The future of Tillery's Corporation is uncertain, even if Daisy inherits it, do you think Tillery's Corporation won't crumble?"

In this world, accidents happen every day. Even if Daisy has the ability to take over Tillery's Corporation, do you think her half-siblings would just sit idly by?

The likelihood is almost none, as people are irrational when it comes to interests and desires.

Especially for a large corporation like Tillery's Corporation, once someone owns or fully controls it, they would enjoy both fame and fortune locally.

Kerry's eyes changed after Ayan's words, as he knew this was something that would definitely happen.

He remained silent for a while, his expression low and his heart complex.

Ayan, seeing this, calmly spoke, "Mr. Kerry, do you still think I am someone who does not know what's best for them?"

Kerry remained silent.

Whether it was Daisy, Mr. Tillery, or anyone who knew Mr. Tillery's intentions, they would all think Ayan should choose Daisy. After all, only by choosing Daisy could they have a strong partnership. Although Simpson Group was powerful, who wouldn't want to climb even higher?

But at this moment, Kerry realized that Ayan had never cared for anything related to Tillery's Corporation.

Kerry looked at Ayan, his expression devoid of gloss, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Mr. Simpson, is this what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"It's somewhat related, but not entirely. What we just discussed has a certain relation to what I am about to tell you," Ayan said calmly as he looked at Kerry. He did not fully trust Kerry's lack of ambition, as someone with no ambition could not have stayed by Mr. Tillery's side for so long and handled many major projects. Such a position also held significant power within Tillery's Corporation.

Being in this position naturally came with countless temptations. Kerry had not compromised for Daisy, but if there was no chance for Daisy, would Kerry still continue on this path? It was an unknown variable.

Ayan's words were confusing, making Kerry's expression even more serious, as he did not know what Ayan was thinking. Kerry's question could only come out, "What do you mean by this, Mr. Simpson?" Ayan said, "Mr. Kerry, it's no secret that you have feelings for Miss Daisy, right?"

Kerry's eyes immediately widened in shock as he looked at Ayan, not understanding the implications of his question.

He asked in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, I don't understand what you mean?"

"Mr. Kerry, you don't need to understand my meaning. Just know that I can help you achieve your goal. However, I am a businessman, and I can't help for free. I need a favor from you, but don't worry, it won't be something difficult. I simply want the partnership between Simpson Group and Tillery's Corporation to proceed smoothly."

Ayan was straightforward about his thoughts and intentions, with no need for secrecy.

Sometimes, being honest was the best way to earn someone's trust.

Faced with Ayan's sincerity, Kerry was in a dilemma and immediately responded, "I appreciate your offer, Mr. Simpson, but I don't think my status is deserving of Miss Daisy. I have never entertained any improper thoughts, so I'm sorry, but I can't cooperate with you."

Ayan didn't mind Kerry's response and simply smiled faintly, maintaining eye contact.

He gently opened his thin lips and said, "Mr. Kerry, don't rush to refuse me. I haven't finished speaking yet."

Kerry fell silent, his eyes full of inquiry as he stared at Ayan.

But he found that he couldn't see through Ayan at all, so he had no way of guessing Ayan's intentions.

Frowning, Kerry looked at Ayan, his face showing disbelief at Ayan's words.

It seemed unimaginable, as he had never dared to think of such things before. He furrowed his brow, his face showing a mix of shock, his voice solemn as he said, "Mr. Simpson, I appreciate your offer, but I may not be worthy of this. I know the disparity between me and Miss Daisy, so I cannot entertain any false hopes."

"Although there is a large gap in status between Mr. Kerry and Tillery's Corporation, do you really want to see Miss Daisy marry someone who doesn't love her but only loves the power behind Tillery's Corporation? If so, do you think Miss Daisy would be happy? If Tillery's Corporation no longer existed, would her husband still choose to be with her?"

"Have you never thought about being with Miss Daisy, Mr. Simpson?"

"I have someone I love. Why would I think about such things?" Ayan replied without hesitation, looking at Kerry without a hint of emotion.

Ayan's question left Kerry at a loss, staring at Ayan in disbelief. He was silent for almost half a minute, during which Ayan patiently waited for him to understand.

Kerry was clearly wavering, a fact that Ayan could see, which is why he continued the conversation patiently.

If Kerry had no intention of cooperating, Ayan would not have taken the time to talk to him about this matter one-on-one.

With narrowed eyes, Ayan stared at Kerry with a faint expression, as if telling him that he had no choice but to agree to the cooperation.

This face-to-face psychological battle left Kerry's resolve crumbling. With a furrowed brow, he looked at Ayan and asked, "How can you be so sure, Mr. Simpson? Daisy is an independent individual, not a partnership. Moreover, she clearly has feelings for you. Isn't that enough? Do you not have even the slightest doubt?"
