However, they had all rejected him without exception. In fact, some refused to pick up the call, or some hung up in a rush after picking up the call as if he was jinxed.Liam’s expression was unpleasant. “What the heck is going on? Even the non-local suppliers rejected me.”Sadie appeared to be worried. “Won’t we be halting 80% of our projects without building materials supply?”Liam heaved a sigh and said, “We’re going to be in trouble for halting so many projects all at once.”As he was speaking, a building materials supplier named George Zabinski called Liam.“Hello, Mr. Wolfenden. I heard that your company is lacking in building materials that I can supply. I wonder if you’re interested?”Liam’s gaze showed that he was delighted. “Yes. Will you please tell me your location so I can come and talk it over with you?”George chuckled and said, “There’s no rush. I’ll come to meet you tomorrow with the contract, Mr. Wolfeden.”Liam was shocked but still brought himself to say,
“Mr. Zabinski, the pricing… is too high.”Liam was in dire need of building materials supply, but the pricing was absurdly high.If he were to agree to it, the other suppliers that came after George would follow suit and hike their prices as well.By then, Wolfenden Corp. would never possibly be offered building materials of normal pricing.George said with a teasing smile, “The pricing is not high, Mr. Wolfenden.“Let alone today, no one is going to have the courage to supply building materials to Wolfenden Corp. in the next few years.“I’m the final hope of Wolfenden Corp. If you won’t accept my quotation, it’s fine too, Mr. Wolfenden. I won’t force it on you.”Next to them was Sadie, who kept quiet all along. Even though her expression was icy cold, her face was tainted with a tinge of worry and anger.Liam was well aware that George was speaking the truth. He had already made a few rounds of calls, and the people would hang up in less than ten seconds after finding out that
‘Yet, that doesn’t seem to be the case judging by the current situation?’“Is this your daughter, the general manager of this company, Mr. Wolfenden?”Shaun complimented by saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She’s a dominant part of the company at such a young age, unlike my good-for-nothing son.”“You flatter me, Mr. Cash.” Sadie appeared dumbfounded. Had she not seen Shaun’s photograph before, she would have wanted to ask if this man was really the building materials mogul.“Yikes! Why are you still addressing me as Mr. Cash like I’m a stranger? If you don’t mind, you may address me as Uncle Shaun.”Liam’s pupils constricted violently, and he was scared out of his wits. ‘Has Shaun… lost his mind!? Since when did I get so close with him!?’Could Sadie still reject it after Shaun put it this way?She corrected herself instantly and said, “Uncle Shaun…”“That sounds much better!”Shaun darted a look at the room and found the fearful George standing next to the
Sadie and Liam saw Shaun off at the ground floor of Wolfenden Corp. “Dad, what is Mr. Cash’s intention in doing this?”Sadie was still in a trance state at this very moment. Liam’s expression was overwhelmed with emotions. He heaved a sigh and said, “I have no idea either. Do you think this is Kayson’s deed?”Sadie furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. “How could that be possible, Dad? Do you know who Shaun is? He’s the building materials mogul of Skyriv!“Apart from the fact that Kayson is not acquainted with him, even if Kayson is acquainted with him, he can’t possibly convince the building materials mogul to give away the materials to us for free, right?”Yes, the collaboration between Shaun’s building materials supply and Wolfenden Corp. was almost equal to Shaun giving away building materials for free.Shaun did not profit off Wolfenden Corp. for the slightest bit, but he supplied everything at cost price.“I’m only making a casual remark.” Liam could not help laughing in spi
Christine stepped forward and said, “Dr. Yarde, it’s possible that the Osborns may take action on Shaun. If you can, I hope you can assist him when he needs it, Dr. Yarde.”Kayson nodded solemnly. “I will.”Christine took a glance at Shyla and Lindsy without any change of expression. She smiled gracefully and said, “Since my injury has been healed, I won’t bother you anymore, Dr. Yarde.“I still have to deal with some affairs at the lodge, so I’ll be back to see you again when I’m done managing those affairs, Dr. Yarde.”Christine left with Eira while Skye stayed because he had already committed himself to Kayson.On the other hand, Skye had already advanced to become a grandmaster yesterday night!Kayson checked the time and discovered that it was almost noon already. He was planning on getting lunch before he headed back to the company.Shyla asked softly, “Are you free this evening, Kace?”Kayson looked toward her. “It’s hard to tell. Is there anything that I can help you wi
Max slowly told the whole story.One man, Timothy Redcliff, was among the five workers that the Allens had killed.He and Max were best buddies. Both of them shared one dormitory, so they knew some information about each other's families.Timothy had a daughter named Cecile Redcliff. She had just graduated from high school and would soon be attending college.Timothy did not have a wife, and he was all Cecile could depend on. Now that Timothy was dead, Cecile was left to fend for herself.However, the silver lining was that Wolfenden Corp. did not run away from its responsibility, and Kayson managed to force the Allens to compensate all of the families of the deceased.As such, Cecile would be able to feed and dress herself for the rest of her life, despite her father's accidental death.However, it was true that Timothy did not have a wife, but he had a bunch of relatives. When they heard that Cecile had received a huge amount of compensation after Timothy’s death, they found
Before Kayson could finish his sentence, Shyla said, “Car? I have a car.”After that, she led Kayson to a red BMW 3 series. She gave him a smile and said, “Let’s go!”Kayson and Max, who seemed somewhat uncomfortable, got into the car.Kayson sat in the passenger seat and asked, “Where did you get the car from?”Shyla grinned and replied, “I bought it yesterday.”Kayson nodded. “Being rich is nice.”Shyla asked, “Kace, why do you want to go to Northspring?”Kayson did not plan to tell her the whole story, so he just said simply, “I have some private matters to attend to.”Shyla was observant, so she did not press on. Instead, she started to talk with Kayson about other things.For example, the future development of Wolfenden Corp., the problems they might encounter, and the financial issue.Kayson was interested in these topics as well.About several hours later…The sky had already turned dark when they finally arrived at the perimeter of Northspring.Max said worriedly,
At that moment, Shyla chimed in coldly. “You call yourself her aunt when you want her to serve that… What is his name again? Mr. Zachry? Whatever. And when you want to take the compensation money, you said she isn’t your brother’s daughter and that you’re not related to her?” Shula hated this kind of person the most. This was because her family used to have this kind of relatives as well in the past.The woman snarled, “This is none of your business, girl!” “You guys are no different from thieves!” Max chimed in exasperatedly. The woman scoffed coldly and said, “Yeah, we’re thieves, so? Mr. Keller has given his order. If she refuses to comply, things won’t end well for her!”Max was stunned, and he looked at Kayson for help.Kayson smirked and threw a silver needle toward the woman.The woman’s expression changed. Her body started to shake uncontrollably as she dropped to the floor, shouting and tossing around in agony.“What have you done to me?” shouted the woman, her voic
