Chapter 308 Jealousy
"Regarding the Osborne Group's rescue of Miss Eve, we have received a response from Mr. Norman of the Osborne Group. The news is true. Our company expresses its sincere gratitude to the Osborne Group and is willing to take one billion US dollars in cash to provide further financing to the Osborne Group, hoping to promote cooperation between our two companies!"

"One billion dollars? My God! I've never seen so much money!"

"Shit...how can you be so rich?"

"Mr. Eldridge, one billion US dollars? Why can a student from the Evernight Academy make the Evernight Company make such a huge investment in her? What is her relationship with the Duke of Evernight?"

Even the experienced reporters who had seen a lot of things seemed to be in a state of confusion at this moment. Some were shocked by the huge cash flow of Yongye, while others were more and more curious about Eve's identity and expressed their gratitude for being able to use such a huge amount of funds. Although it was not a free gift, the exaggerated amount of funds was icing on the cake for the current Osborne Group.

One billion U.S. dollars is not a small sum in today's America. Even some of the giant industries that are well-known to the American people cannot come up with such a large amount of cash.

Soon, the reporters understood why Eldridge did this!

"Because Miss Eve was appointed by the Grand Duke of Evernight, she will become the manager of Evernight Arms and Evernight Security!"

"...hiss? Evernight Arms is one of Evernight Capital's largest industries, and Evernight Security is Evernight's largest branch in overseas markets!"

“Today’s headline is born!”

"Ms. Eve! We should interview that Miss Eve."

"Mr. Eldridge, can I ask what the relationship is between Miss Eve and the Grand Duke of Evernight? After all, you know the significance of your words to the American capital market!"

A white reporter stared at Eldridge, observing his expression carefully, trying to find out something.

"You can understand it as the apple of my eye!"

"..."

……

"Ms. Eve, do you have any suggestions for the services of our Osborne Group during this period?"

The waiter, with a bright smile on his face, half-knelt on the ground, serving the girl in front of him patiently and attentively.

"Thank you, I feel very comfortable here!"

Sitting at the dining table, enjoying the luxurious dinner in front of her alone, Eve smiled sweetly as she looked at the group of waiters surrounding the dining table.

Some of them were holding plates with red wine, some were holding plates with a variety of snacks, and some were even performing wine bottle throwing acrobatics.

It can be said that the entire dinner, including nearly ten service staff, were all working around her.

Eve was not surprised by Norman Osborn's intention to show goodwill. Her following of Norman Osborn, including everything she had experienced, was all part of Lin Jue's plan.

As a person who has foresight, Lin Jue is naturally jealous of the Osborn Group. After all, after the birth of Spider-Man, the Osborn Group has also come up with various advanced biotechnologies, which prove its strength in the biological field.

Lin Jue also created the Eternal Night Creatures. He did not want to be limited to the dark creatures that he had deprived. The biotechnology of the Marvel Universe can always create miracles, and so can he.

Normal financing would not arouse Norman Osborn's vigilance. As Lin Jue knew the future development scale of the company, it was impossible for him to use a large amount of cash to buy up shares.

Coincidentally, Guts's werewolf descendants attacked Norman Osborn, and he was able to use this opportunity to have Eve, who was kidnapped by the werewolves, rescued by Norman.

Then he could "give" the Osborne Group a large sum of cash in disguise as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Fifteen percent of the shares!

This is the goal Lin Jue set for Eldridge.

If it were during Marvel's heyday, which is the period after Spider-Man was born, with ten billion US dollars, Lin Jue wouldn't be able to easily buy even one percent of the shares, let alone 15 percent.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this opportunity that Lin Jue had the chance to extend his hand into the Osborne Group.

In order to achieve this goal, Lin Jue started planning early on. Even the financial crisis that Osborne is currently experiencing was indirectly influenced by him, because the creation of Eternal Night Biology is also a blow to the Osborne Group, which currently plays a leading role.

Many other spin-off companies in the biopharmaceutical industry will be attracted by the lower costs offered by Linjue Yongye Bio.

He took this opportunity to use the cash, under the pretext of being optimistic about companies in all walks of life in the United States, and bought 2% of the shares, including other companies.

But just 2% was not enough to satisfy Lin Jue. If he wanted to get access to the core technology of the Osborne Group, he had to own at least the top three shares.

If Aldridge got 15% of the shares, plus the original %, why would Lin Jue become the largest shareholder of the Osborne Group after the Osborne family.

Then, he could also take out part of Yongye Biology's business and cooperate with Osborn, nibbling away at their wisdom bit by bit. This was Lin Jue's plan.

Of course, in the early stages he would not rashly interfere with the operations of the Osborn Group, let alone touch its core biotechnology. Lin Jue wanted the Osborn Group to successfully research the biological spider that could give birth to Spider-Man first.

The ability of that thing also made Lin Jue jealous.

Maybe Spider-Man's physical fitness cannot be compared with Lin Jue's current normal form, but Lin Jue is attracted by his spider-sense.

That thing will greatly enhance Lin Jue's ability to perceive and react to danger!
At the same time, maybe he could take this opportunity to create his own spider warrior.

"Eve!"

The words coming from behind disrupted Eve's thoughts.

Turning her head to look at the person who came, Eve showed a sweet smile: "Harry! Didn't you go to school today?"

Looking at the beautiful person in front of him, Harry, who was in adolescence, felt his heart pounding, and he nervously scratched his fluffy blond hair. "Eve, I heard about you and rushed back as soon as possible. You are actually a senior executive of Evernight?"

"Ok!"

Eve blinked and nodded, acknowledging Harry's words.

"God, the Grand Duke of Eternal Night is my idol, you know that, Eve!"

Harry came to the dining table and looked at the large group of servants surrounding Eve. He knew that this was his father's arrangement and was not surprised by his father's behavior.

Although Evernight is not the most powerful company in America at present, its potential is unquestionable. Once the Grand Duke of Evernight moves all his overseas assets to America, he will have no enemies in front of him!

As the only nominal heir to the Osborne Group, Harry naturally knew something about business companies and the like.

Looking at the girl in front of him, at this moment, Harry felt that Eve was surrounded by countless halos all over her body.

"Compared to your father's Osborne Group, Yongye is just getting started in biotechnology!"

"You are too modest, Eve! With the strength of the Grand Duke of Evernight, Evernight Biotechnology will sooner or later occupy a place in the biotechnology field of America!"

Harry couldn't help but whisper a compliment, his eyes fixed on Eve, unable to move away.

As their conversation became more lively, Harry couldn't help but sit next to Eve.

Although he is not yet an adult and has even had two girlfriends, he knows very well how to judge the situation.

However, facing some of his subtle actions, Eve was not a naive person and deliberately avoided some contact between the two.

But looking at the face getting closer and closer, Eve couldn't help but frowning slightly, just as she was about to push away the big boy in front of her who seemed to be in heat.

Suddenly, she sensed a familiar breath.

The face turned into a smile very naturally.

Eve let Harry stick close to her.

"Harry!"

A voice calling out at the right moment rang out behind the two of them.

Harry turned his head in shock.

"Peter? Shit, you're skipping classes too?"

"..."

Looking at Harry sitting next to Eve, almost sticking to her, even if Peter had a good temper, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart at this moment.

When he learned about Eve's identity from his classmates, he was shocked at first.

Eve, who was rumored to be the heir of eternal night, attracted the attention of countless young people in America.

Midtown Science High School is no exception.

When Peter saw Harry rushing out the door, he immediately guessed that Harry was most likely going to find Eve.

Peter, who knew Harry very well, had a bad premonition. If it was Eve's beauty that attracted Harry before, and now, coupled with Eve's unique status and the image of the Grand Duke of Eternal Night in Harry's heart, Peter suspected that Harry would not be able to help but take some "further" actions.

After all, Harry had once told Peter how he dated those two girlfriends...

This guy is just a playboy, how can he be worthy of Eve?

Peter became more and more anxious when he thought about the unclear relationship between Harry and several girls in school.

Even though Harry was his good brother, he didn't want to see Eve become Harry's new girlfriend.

If that were the case, he would go crazy!

So he skipped class for the first time!
Looking at the two people sitting close together, Eve's figure leaning to one side and Harry's figure leaning against it.

Peter immediately realized that Eve didn't seem to be very interested in Harry!

He walked forward without hesitation and pulled Harry away.

"Peter? What are you doing?"

Harry, who was pulled up, felt a little angry.

"Nothing, I'm just doing a normal thing, Harry, don't forget about your girlfriend!"

"I broke up with her a long time ago!"

"No, you didn't."
