Chapter 418 Chapter 418 How is it possible

He watched as Bruce let out a sigh from his lips. Hope. That was all that he could do. He could only hope that he knew what he was doing.

He knew that in the end Zach wouldn’t do anything that would end up incriminating him or his family and that whatever he did it was for the benefit of them all.

“Okay. I trust you.” Bruce said to him as he gave him a slight bow. He watched as a smirk made its way onto his features as he quirked a brow.

“Well I am glad to see that you aren’t going to question me any further but can I ask why you suddenly have decided to have a change of heart and why you have changed your mind over it.” He asked him. 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ

Zach didn’t have a direct answer as he shrugged his shoulders at him at first. “maybe I was overreacting at first, I know that you have been taking care of this family for a while now and thanks to you we have been able to grow in power and ended up on top. I shouldn’t have doubted you because of one slip. I should have known that you were well aware of what you were doing and that you wouldn’t do anything that would lead to a slip up.” He said to him.

He didn’t know what to say to that however he couldn’t help but smile at him in response. He was simply glad to see that he was starting to see things threw his own point of view. “you know that and that is why I know that even if you question I can always trust you because you trust me wand you trust my plans and my intentions and you know that I wouldn’t make the decision to do anything that would end up causing harm to you or the rest of the family.” he said to him.

With that Bruce turned around and left. Zach watched him walk away and it was only after he had gone and had slammed the door shit behind him that he felt his breathing relaxed as he ran a hand through his hair.

Things were starting to get more complicated but like a game of chess he would be able to move his pieces accordingly and each time she tried to attack him he would have a move that he would be able to use in order for him to counter her attacks.

Even though she was still pulling out all of the stocks she was still unable to take him out and any of the moves that she made his way he was able to counter them and it was clear that she was still struggling to take him down.

He smirked as he thought over his plan. He knew that with him lowering the prices things were going to be hard for a whole but he knew that it was only temporary and when it all came to pass that things would be different then.

Bruce did as he was asked. And he had gone to meet with their production workers as well as their marketers and they were able to lower the prices slightly.

They were only able to lower it so much that they were still able to pay their workers and still make slight profit.

It may have seemed hard for them but they were able to make it work slightly.

Zach continued to oversee the entire process and although he could see that they were still managing to sell the sugar he also knew that it would take a low blow to them.

He knew that he had to do something about it and maybe Bruce was right about easing some of the pressures.

But he wouldn’t be getting help from Marico. He sat in his office as he watched the workers below before he finally made his decision.

He wrote a letter on his sheet of paper before placed it into an envelope. He was intending to mail it to Elizabeth city and once he was done he sealed it writing the address upon it.

However this time his intention wasn’t to contact George but what he wanted to do was the reach out to the Macrae family.

If he wanted to get things done and to ensure that she was completely defeated he knew that he couldn’t do it by himself and he would have to get help gorm others around him.

He only hoped that he was doing the right thing by reaching out and that they would be able to help him.

…

Candice was sat in her office with a bright smile on her face. She was exhilarated to see that she was making more money than ever, and the results were starting to show. in the last quarter the Davis and Brown families had been able to make more money than the Smiths had.

Soon enough she would have them crippled and they would have no choicer but to come begging back o her.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of a sharp knock on her door. She cleared her throat as she gestured for the person to step inside.

As she looked up she found that it was Lillard who was stood there with a report in hand.

As she could tell from the look that was on his face that it wasn’t good as his face was down cast and he had a frown that marred his features.

However she wasn’t in the mood for beating around the bush. She sent him a deep glare before saying, “what is it? Hand it over to me.” she said to him harshly.

He gulped as he took a step towards her before sliding the report onrto the table. She sighed sucking in a deep breath before she pulled the file open and she began to read through it.

She felt anger bubble deep inside of her as she tightened the grip that she had on the file. Shae began to read through it as she felt her heart sink as she read through the document.

“What is rthe meaning of this. This can’t be true.” she cried out as her voice was raised slightly. He flinched at her tone as she struggled to find the words to say to her.

“It is true princess.” he said to her in a whisper.

“How is it possible that they have lowered their prices even further than they did before. That would leave them bankrupt.” She called out. It frustrated her to no end to see that the Smiths were still finding a way for them to get around her. This shouldn’t have been happening.

She knew that they couldn’t lower their prices to would leave them almost completely bankrupt and yet here they were doing exactly that.

It would mean that their status would lower and they would be barely able to scrape by. She didn’t know how they were doing it but it seemed as though they were taking any chance that they could in order to make sure that they were able to outwit her.

However she knew that this wasn’t going to end well for them. It may have seemed as though they were having the upper hand now but she had a feeling that it wasn’t going to last long.

She could feel herself slowly unraveling and it seemed as though things were falling apart for her. However she knew that she couldn’t act out on it and she had to stay calm. She was going to wait to see how long this would last.

She knew that they could only play this part for a short period of time and soon enough they would have to realize that they couldn’t handle it anymore.

In the long run they had to have known that they were in fact fighting a losing battle. Because she was the one who would be able to wait out the storm and there was only so much lower that he could drop his prices.

She couldn’t help but smirk as she turned to look towards Lillard. “What is it princess.” He asked her and she only shook her head at him in response as she couldn’t help but smirk.

She shook her head at him in response. “they are falling right into our trap and he may think that he is able to restore his profits now but he knows that he can’t keep the prices that low for a very long time. Soon enough he will have to increase them again. Especially when he start losing employees and start struggling with having to pay their wages.” She said to him.

Lillard only hummed at her but knowing how to feel about what she had said. He knew that she was unpredictable but he had been surprised that she had been happy buy the news.

———————–

Zach was calm, he knew that he could have full faith in his plan and that in the end everything was going to work itself out. He knew that he didn’t have anything to worry about.

Bruce on the other hand was still skeptical about it. “How long do you plan on keeping this up fore.” Brice asked him and Zach looked towards him with a quirked eyebrow.

“How long do I intend to keep what up.” Zach asked and he watched as he gritted his teeth at him.

“How do you intend to keep us scraping by and continue this battle with the princess?”
