Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Digging a Hole_1
Mick Simmons’s face turned cold as he spoke indifferently, “My dad has just gotten better and won’t be sparring with anyone right now. Please leave.”
“Heh, in that case, you might as well hand over Westland Pharmaceuticals. With Uncle Simmons like this, he shouldn’t be bearing so much burden.
After all, our families are related by marriage. We can’t just stand by and watch him suffer, can we?”
Elliot Morris said with a chuckle, seeming to have the Simmons family’s best interest at heart, but in reality, he was just capitalizing on the Simmons family’s vulnerability and looking to take advantage.
Enraged, Mick Simmons trembled all over and gave him a cold glance before turning to look at Hazel Simmons and Landon Morris.
Hazel Simmons turned pale with fear and shrank behind her husband, while Landon Morris’s legs also went soft. But with his wife right behind him, he couldn’t hide and could only give Mick Simmons an awkward smile.
“Antonio, look… why don’t we just let go of Westland Pharmaceuticals? It’s not worth much anyway.”
“Shut your fucking dog mouth!”
Mick Simmons snapped, “If it’s not worth much, then cough up the money, will you?
You ball-less thing, you deceived our Simmons family’s lady, and now you’re eyeing Westland Pharmaceuticals to boot. The Morris family is really something, huh.”
Hazel Simmons and her husband were scolded so badly that they didn’t have any fight left in them, hanging their heads in silence.
Elliot Morris, seeing his younger brother get scolded, was not angry but instead said with a smile, “Younger brother’s wife, say something. Don’t always let the younger brother take the brunt.”
Hazel Simmons’s face was ashen. She glanced at Mick Simmons and let out a helpless sigh.
Mick Simmons glared fiercely at her and then said to Elliot Morris, “Elliot Morris, if you want to seize our Simmons family’s property, then just fucking say it. Don’t be like a woman making excuses.
Just say it, how do you want to handle this? Draw the line, and the Simmons family will take you up on it.”
“Good, that’s the spirit!”
Elliot Morris grinned. The only formidable person in the Simmons family was Donald Simmons, but since he had just entered the Dark Strength Period not long ago, how could he possibly beat Vince Brent, who was in the Later Stage of Dark Strength?
He glanced at Fraser Simmons sitting on the sofa with a somewhat unsightly expression, but seeing that Fraser remained silent, he felt reassured.
As long as Fraser Simmons couldn’t make a move, then Vince Brent was sure to win. The Westland Pharmaceuticals would belong to the Morris family soon after.
Elliot Morris, worried the Simmons family might back out, quickly added, “So, we’ll make a deal. If we win, Westland Pharmaceuticals goes to the Morris family.”
“And if you lose?” Mick Simmons asked.
“Lose? How could Vince Brent possibly lose? Are you joking?”
Elliot Morris said disdainfully with a sneer, “If you win, we’ll forget about Westland Pharmaceuticals and, from here on, we won’t target your Simmons family’s property. How about that?”
“How about not?”
Mick Simmons coldly replied, “The Morris family is really shameless! So, in this fight, the bet is only on our Simmons family’s Westland Pharmaceuticals? Why? Because the Morris family has no shame?”
“You…”
Elliot Morris’s face suddenly darkened. He could turn a blind eye when Mick Simmons insulted Landon Morris and even managed to mock humorously.
But when he himself was directly insulted by Mick Simmons, his rage surged instantly, “What do you want, then?”
“It’s simple. You want to fight? Fine, but put out something to bet on. The Simmons family is in!”
Mick Simmons’s face looked truly outraged by Elliot Morris’s actions, but both the people of the Simmons family and Greg Jensen knew that Mick Simmons was digging a hole.
If Elliot Morris really fell for it, there would be quite a show to watch.
This was why Donald Simmons, who typically had an impulsive nature, stayed silent today, a cold smirk hanging on the corner of his lips, watching the folly from the sidelines.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Elliot Morris burst into laughter and said coldly, “Alright, Westland Pharmaceuticals will be the Morris family’s.”
“Although it’s not on par with your Westland Pharmaceuticals, within the province of Qin, it’s still considered number one. If I lose, I’ll give you Jamae Pharmaceutical Factory.”
Mick Simmons sneered, “Easy for you to say, but do your words hold weight in the Morris family?”
“Heh, you don’t believe me, huh? No matter, just wait and see!”
Elliot Morris was straightforward, pulling out his mobile phone and calling Leon Morris directly, even putting him on speakerphone to discuss the bet.
As soon as Leon Morris heard it, without a second thought, he directly said, “Alright, it’s settled then. Whatever the younger one says is as good as my word.
If he really loses, Jamae Pharmaceutical Factory will belong to the Simmons family, no one can stop it.”
“Dad, let’s leave it at that.”
After saying this to the person on the phone, Elliot Morris hung up and then sneered at Mick Simmons:
“Antonio, you’ve got nothing to say now? Can we start?”
“Sure, we absolutely can,” Mick Simmons said with a grin.
Elliot Morris looked at his odd smile and suddenly felt a bit uneasy, but then he thought that there shouldn’t be any problems.
Donald Simmons had just entered the Dark Strength Period not too long ago and definitely couldn’t beat Vince Brent, while Fraser Simmons was still a cripple. Even if he recovered, he wouldn’t be able to fight someone right away.
And even if he could fight, he was only at the later stage of Dark Strength, at most he could tie with Vince Brent.
No matter how you looked at it, there was no way his side could lose.
With this thought in mind, Elliot Morris felt much more relaxed, and looking at Donald Simmons, he said with a smile:
“Donald, don’t just sit there, let’s get started. The earlier we finish, the sooner we can close up. I’ve got a date with a girl tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Donald Simmons slowly stood up, and to Elliot Morris’s surprise, instead of coming forward, he went over to Fraser Simmons.
Then, under his assistance, Fraser Simmons, who was meant to be a cripple, miraculously stood up.
Elliot Morris’s eyelid twitched, and he exclaimed in shock, “Uncle Simmons, you can stand up now?”
Fraser Simmons looked at his legs with content and said with a smile, “Didn’t I just say? Thanks to Mr. Jensen, my injury has been cured. I’m just not supposed to fight with anyone just yet.”
Elliot Morris’s tension eased, and he wondered, “If you can’t fight, then what’s this about?”
Fraser Simmons chuckled and said, “Aren’t you the ones who forced this? With Vince Brent at the later stage of Dark Strength, if I don’t step in, who can be his match?”
Upon hearing this, Elliot Morris couldn’t help but curl his lip, saying with a mix of sarcasm and contempt, “Uncle Simmons, you’re not young anymore, why are you pushing yourself so hard? If something were to happen, I couldn’t bear the responsibility.”
Fraser Simmons replied indifferently, “The rise and fall, the honor and disgrace of the Simmons family are at stake, how can I not put my life on the line?
After all, I’m still alive to take risks.”
“Fine, if Uncle Simmons really feels that way, I have nothing more to say. But let’s get one thing straight, if by any chance something happens to you, you can’t blame the Morris family.”
“Fists and kicks are blind, I don’t need you to teach me that,” Fraser Simmons said coldly, then turned to Vince Brent and suggested, “Let’s go to the courtyard.”
Vince Brent’s mouth twitched slightly, he nodded silently and made his way to the courtyard.
Fraser Simmons, aided by Donald Simmons, walked through the crowd towards the courtyard.
“Dad, I…”
Fraser Simmons paused mid-stride, turned his head to glance at Hazel Simmons and said softly, “You’ve grown up and have your own mind now.
If you feel uncomfortable with the Morris family, then come back. Although the Simmons family has declined, we can still provide shelter from the storm.”
