Royce sighed. “I had someone to look into it, and the thread led us to Cloudia Paragon. However, we didn’t know where they were holding Livia hostage, so we didn’t dare do anything rash.” “What did they ask for after they took Ms. Shore away?”“They wanted money. They asked me to transfer money into an overseas account. They told me that nothing would happen to Livia as long as I did what they said.”Philip chimed in exasperatedly, “They’re the worst. I will definitely get to the bottom of this! No matter who they are, I won’t forgive them for abducting Livia!”“I looked into the overseas account as well, but I’ve found nothing. I was afraid that something would happen to Livia, so I did what they told me to.”Kayson did not make any comments. After all, he wasn’t sure if Mr. Denn had been behind the abduction or not. Master Oczen did not know anything either. They had only told him that someone had sent Livia over to them.“I’m sure they already know that I rescued Ms. Shore.
Once Royce left, Philip smiled knowingly. “I’ll leave you young people alone then!“Oh yeah, Kayson… A few of the bodies over at Cloudia Paragon were collected by their families, and they’ve asked me to thank you.”He sighed after saying that. “Master Octavius, Master Oczen, and the others are already in jail, and the hearing will be held soon…”Kayson did not know what to say. He had only scanned the vicinity with mind expansion back then, but that had been enough. Those female corpses… had gone through terrible torture before their death, and even their death had not come easy.Kayson felt an impending headache after Philip left.What should he do with Livia? It was not like he could take her to the Wolfendens when he returned to Clouspring. He would not have agreed to meet Royce if he had known. Besides, he was only temporarily staying at Jason’s place now. It would not be appropriate for him to bring another person over!“Ms. Shore…”“Just call me Livia.”“Livia, I’ll take
“I’ll gift the villa to you, Kayson!”Kayson did not refuse upon seeing that he had already made up his mind. He just nodded right away. “I’ll take it then.”“Heh, sure. I can take you there now, okay?”Kayson nodded and went to Creek Villa, the place that Cody had mentioned, with Livia. They left to get some furniture after confirming the style they were going for.Cody spoke while driving. “You can go to Talia’s family’s Hall Furnishing for furniture. It’s considered a big brand and it has pretty much everything.”Livia chorused, “Hall Furnishing is really famous. It’s one of the top furniture companies in Skyriv.”Kayson had no objections since both of them said so. When they reached one of Hall Furnishing’s outlets, since Kayson did not have any preferences, he let Livia pick what she wanted. While they shopped, Cody paled immediately after receiving a phone call.“What’s the matter?” Kayson asked.“My father said that our family company is under attack. Many suppliers ha
Diego contacted his father immediately and went to the company. His father, Brian Gardner, was currently worrying in his office. The company was not big scale-wise but it was still doing quite well.There were already a few sites that had rejected his construction material supply, and some had even claimed that the material quality was substandard, thus asking for compensation.If one or two companies had claimed so, Brian could still have figured out a way to apply for quality assessment and argue the case, but this was not just one or two! About 80% of the bosses he was working with had told him that they wanted to return the materials.How much money was he going to lose since there was such a large-scale return of building materials going on? In addition, he had new supplies coming in.He had business partners, but they were not involved in the management, so the company was relatively stable for now. Despite that, people would lose their confidence if this went on. Once there
Only a few top companies could work with Shaun Cash.“Hahaha, that won’t do. You’ll have to make some money, won’t you? I’ll have someone sign the contract on my behalf. His name is Kayson Yarde.”Shaun laughed heartily. “Your son knows him, so just look for him from now on. Anything he says goes.”“Okay, sure. Goodbye, Mr. Cash!”“Goodbye.”When they ended the call, Brian gasped and stared at Diego with glowing eyes. “Who’s this Kayson Yarde he spoke of?”Diego was also shocked that Kayson had done them such a huge favor.“I-It’s a friend Talia introduced to me…”Brian held back the thrill gushing within him. “Maintain a good relationship with him, you hear me? He’s not a simple guy for sure!”Meanwhile, Leyla went to see her father, Howie Lang, who was speaking on the phone with Finnick.“Yes, Mr. Sullivan. I’ll arrange for the delivery right away!”Upon hanging up, Howie was filled with shock.Leyla asked fervently, “Dad, has the issue been resolved?”Howie smiled in re
Uncle Zen replied, “It’s true that it’s not been decided yet, but I plan to pick a company from the handful that your father’s investing in.”“I have a friend whose family runs a renovation business. Why don’t we pass the project to them?” Livia asked.Uncle Zen was surprised. Livia had never gotten involved in company affairs. Why was she suddenly pulling strings for her friend?“As long as the quality is assured and they don’t do a shoddy job or cut corners, I don’t have much to say. It’s just that your dad…”“I’ll talk to him as long as you make the decision.”Uncle Zen replied, “Alright then, let me know which company it is. I’ll call them and talk to them first.”Livia shifted her gaze to Cody, whose jaw was slack, and he quickly spoke up. “Greenspring’s Flying Ape Projects Ltd!”“A company from Greenspring…?” Uncle Zen sounded puzzled.The company was not exactly famous, but he said nothing since Livia had recommended it.“Leave it to me, Livia. I’ll get in touch with th
“Can he find one?” Kayson asked.Jason sighed. “Barely! Each factory basically has its own orders, and it’s nearly impossible that they’d agree to push back their own orders.“Even if one of them agrees, we’ll have to wait until their current order is completed…“Besides, there’s also sourcing the raw materials, which makes it even harder.”Kayson had not expected Hall Furnishing to be in this massive trouble. Then, Livia discreetly poked his arm and whispered, “I can help…”This surprised Kayson, who said, “Uncle Jason, I can help Uncle Roman find a factory. Do contact him for me.”Jason seemed to be shocked. “Kayson, are you serious?”Kayson chuckled. “I wouldn’t dare joke about something so serious.”Jason was skeptical. Since when did Kayson have connections in this industry?“Wait for my text.”Jason hung up after saying that.Livia told Kayson promptly, “My dad has invested in furnishing and household companies and taken over three factories. Two are regularly used, wh
Roman winced. There was no way he could agree to do it for $8,800,000. This order of his would only make a profit of $6,600,000. The $8,800,000 request meant that he would have to lose $2,200,000 to Fabian Law despite making the handover in time. He might as well pay the penalty for the breach of contract directly!“Mr. Law…”“Roman Hall! $8,800,000! Not a cent less! Agree to it and I’ll lend you the factory!”Fabian scoffed. He was not the one begging at this point in time anyway.Roman did not look good. He had been caught in a predicament, and taking a step forward or backward would crush him.Fabian was unmoved upon seeing Roman stay silent. “Looks like you’ve already made a decision. See you again then. I hope you pull through this time.“Otherwise, your future opportunities might all end up in my hands.”Roman asked in silent rage, “Fabian Law, you know who’s targeting me, don’t you?”“That’s right.” Fabian smirked. “And I don’t mind telling you that Hall Furnishing is do
