“Damien and Dillon aren’t worth your sympathy. Let the kids handle it,” Gloria said to comfort Daniel.
“I get it. I feel it’s too much on the kids. They’re forced to deal with their ill-intentioned uncles,” Daniel said. He was a little chagrined, not understanding why his older brothers acted like this.
“After so many years of enduring, how did it end up like this? ” Gloria responded. They were still oppressed and looked down upon by their brothers. Now that their children were doing great, they finally gained some dignity.
“I know.” Daniel nodded. He was not sympathetic to Damien and Dillon. He just thought they were family and it would be best if everyone worked together. Unfortunately, not everyone had the same goal in mind.
Jared dropped off Nicole at the entrance the Riddle Corporation building. He watched Nicole go inside before instructing Max, “Drive.”
“Yes, sir.” Max obeyed and started the car. He then reported, “Mr. Johnston, Lawrence disappeared the moment he reached Mecrounia, leaving his assistant Ian to settle things. I’m afraid…”
“Search for his old subordinates,” Jared said with a calm expression.
If Lawrence’s intention to go to Mecrounia was not to
recover the losses, it only would mean he was secretly plotting something. And to complete his plan, he had to find some trusted people to help him.
Max’s expression turned grave. “Mr. Johnston, isn’t he an adverse to you?”
“I’ll have always been a sting in his eyes,” Jared replied.
From the moment Lawrence stepped foot in San Joto, they were destined to be each other’s rivals. Lawrence was not only obsessed with Nicole, but he was also a power-control freak who wanted to take over San Joto.
Determination crossed Max’s eyes. “I’ll arrange for someone to find out his whereabouts.”
“Forget it. Finding out won’t change a thing. Why not take advantage of this chance to prepare another surprise for him?” Jared said, his gaze turning cold. Having an ambition was fine, but Lawrence had to prove that his abilities matched his ambition.
Max was stunned, but he soon understood Jared’s intentions. He asked cautiously, “What do you intend to do, Mr. Johnston?”
Jared’s eyes narrowed, his voice turning icy. “Ask someone to make contact with the landmark project that Genesis Group is negotiating.”
Max instantly understood Jared’s point, and his eyes lit up.” Yes, sir.”
The landmark project was a crucial project for Genesis Group, which had just entered San Joto’s industrial market.
Losing this project would be a significant setback for them.
The car drove away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Upstairs at the Riddle Corporation building, just as Nicole entered her office, Lulu knocked on her door.
“Did you hear the news?” Lulu asked with a mysterious look.
Raising her eyebrow, Nicole asked, “What news?”
Nicole had not had time to pay attention to the news this morning. She wondered what could have happened.
“Geez, how could you not know about something so important?” Lulu smiled. “It’s related to you.”
“Me?” Nicole was even more confused. ‘What is it?’
Lulu rolled her eyes helplessly at Nicole before revealing,” It’s about Damien and Dillon.”
“What about them?” Nicole asked, wondering how her uncles made it to the news.
“It was the case that overturned a few days ago. I’m not sure who leaked the news, but it’s unsurpassable now. They’re in the eye of the storm,” Lulu explained.
The two companies were the subject of public scrutiny and condemnation after the information was made public.
