Chapter 355 For the Sake of a Person
At noon, Abigail instructed the finance department to transfer a significant sum of money to Sean. This amount far exceeded the expenses he had incurred while purchasing gifts. Moreover, the transaction was processed through the accounts of both companies.
The man couldn’t help but chuckle at the way she had handled things. What was initially meant. to be a thoughtful gift had somehow transformed into a business transaction. He couldn’t help but wonder if she was trying to distance herself from him. He contemplated calling her to inquire. about her intentions but quickly realized that making that call would be inviting trouble. He anticipated a lack of a satisfactory explanation and a barrage of hurtful words that would only add to his distress.
Sean put his phone down with a melancholy sigh. At that moment, Xavien entered the room and discreetly mentioned, “Damon is here.”
“Let him in,” Sean said calmly.
After Xavien left, Damon entered the room while holding a gift box. Sean stood up and gestured for him to sit down. “Is there something you need, Mr. Copper?”
Damon placed the gift box on the table and appeared somewhat embarra*sed. “I came to express my gratitude.”
“I’ve heard about your recent financial difficulties, Sean said, sitting on the couch. “You don’t need to bring a gift to express your gratitude.”
“It doesn’t cost much. Plus, I wanted to thank you for always helping me. If you ever need my a*sistance in the future, I will do my best to help,” Damon said as he lowered his gaze. Before he had announced his engagement with his girlfriend, he never had to act lowly as he did now.
Looking at his uneasy expression, Sean asked, “Do you regret it?”
Immediately, Damon raised his head and looked at him with determination. “I don’t regret it! I know things will get better!”
“If
you don’t regret it, then hold your head up high. It’s not shameful for a man to take such a step for the person he loves. Moreover, with your determination, only Alana’s dress will be valuable.” Sean’s voice was deep and steady.
Hearing his words, Damon felt a hint of warmth. At the same time, he thought that he was weak since he had been comforted by a stranger. “Thank you, Mr. Graham.” He could only manage to say this. His family had disappointed him, but strangers had offered him warmth and encouragement. Alana’s dress was worth millions, yet she allowed him to purchase it for eighty thousand. Moreover, Sean had always supported him.
“Mr. Copper, the only thing stopping you was never the outside world but yourself. The steps

you’ve taken in love might be the bravest ones you’ve taken in the twenty years you have lived.” Sean poured a cup of tea for him.
“You’re right, Mr. Graham.” Damon didn’t deny his own weakness. After all, he had summoned all his strength to chase his dream this time.
“It must be an extraordinary girl for you to muster the courage, given your personality,” Sean remarked, his gaze fixed on Damon, devoid of much emotion. “Mr. Copper, if you’re willing, I can offer a*sistance, but I do have one condition.”
Damon held his cup of tea and gazed at Sean. He knew Sean was a powerful and capable person who had huge authority. “Please, Mr. Graham,” he said.
At this moment, he felt fortunate to have embarked on this journey. He knew Sean’s reputation was not great. Many people from the high society held a low opinion of him, and even Damon’s family scolded him when they received a call from one of Sean’s subordinates, chastising him for a*sociating with such a ruthless person. However, none of this mattered to Damon. He had been confined for far too long, weighed down by worries about the money he owed for the dress and fearing that his financial situation might drive his fiancée to leave him. It was all too much for him.
Sean recognized the tension in Damon’s expression and stated, “Mr. Copper, I can help you. escape your current predicament. In return, I only ask for a 20% share in your family’s primary business. This way, I’ll have a say in your entire family’s business operations from this point forward. Can you agree to this?”
Twenty percent of the shares was a significant stake, and Sean was putting him in a difficult. position. At that moment, Damon was deep in thought.
Sean was in no hurry. If it weren’t for his plan, he wouldn’t intervene in their family’s business.
“I can agree to your request, but can you guarantee you won’t use this 20% share to take over my family’s business?” No matter how love-struck Damon was, he still had to consider the hard work and dedication his family had put into their business..
“I have no interest in taking over your family business, Mr. Copper. Every industry needs healthy competition, and if one entity dominates, that industry won’t thrive. I want your family’s shares. not for the money but for one person,” Sean said as he sipped his tea.
“For Alana?” Damon had noticed Sean’s interactions with Alana online. Based on his intuition, he felt that Sean had feelings for Alana. Given his status and position, if he were to repeatedly defend her on social media, it could only mean he was trying to get her attention.
“Just tell me whether you agree to this or not?” Sean asked.
“I need some time to think about it. It’s not easy to deal with the shareholders who hold our family’s shares. To work around them, it won’t be that simple.” Damon was anxious. If he agreed to Sean’s request, he would be seen as a traitor in his family. However, he didn’t have any better.

options.
“I’ll be waiting for your good news, Mr. Copper.” Sean smiled.
