Xavier felt oppressed by the confidence in Damon’s gaze. For the first time, he had to admit that tripping his brother up might be a harder feat than he had previously imagined.He inhaled sharply and thinned his lips. Then he broke out a wide, splitting grin. Gone was the skittishness of a cornered animal as though nothing had happened. “Chill out, man. Why would I wanna sabotage your business? Don’t think it’s gonna bring me a single benefit, anyway.”Damon snickered. “For your sake, you bet
“You’re right, Mr. Gunn. Many of our competitors marketed similar products with lower prices. But if price is the only factor in your mind, then why did you choose to attend our talk today? Am I wrong to infer that it’s because our product holds an edge over them?”Grant narrowed his eyes. “Of course. The quality of your company’s product is quite the winning factor.”“Hence the price, Mr. Gunn. Our product is miles better than many of our competitors, and I’m sure you’re well aware of that, a
It was the last, and the bluntest, card Grant had in his arsenal to force Damon into lowering his price. It was by no means a novel trick, though, and it might have been useful against younger start-ups or those who were still wet around their ears.Damon was not one of those sheep, though. He had brought in so many business deals and partnerships for the company over the years that he was used to these businessmen’s oft-abused tactics and scripts. He was not going to be deterred and led away j
Damon frowned slightly, and his eyes that were as deep as the ocean, gradually filled with agony.He felt like his stomach was on fire, and there was a tingling, sharp pain in his throat and stomach. It was so uncomfortable, like an unending sea of tossing waves. The alcohol triggered him, making him feel nauseous.The fiery pain gushed through his body. Although he tried to hold it in, his face gradually turned pale because of the torturous pain.Damon was never very expressive. Other than a
The secretary frowned even more.‘What should I do? Mr. Damon seems to be in bad condition, and if this goes on, something is going to happen!’The secretary's pupils dilated when she saw Grant picking up the liquor bottle to pour Damon another glass again. She took advantage of this time to quickly smile and say, "Mr. Gunn, you’re really good at drinking. I have so much respect for you…"Grant smiled and was distracted indeed as his hand that was about to pour Damon a drink stopped. "Miss, y
The dinner felt like a silent battle. The secretary was already dizzy and tipsy, but she could only grit her teeth and pretend to be sober. She looked at the pale Damon, and his condition seemed to be getting worse. The secretary gritted her teeth and downed the glass of drink again.No matter what, she just needed to protect Damon, and it did not matter if she got drunk herself.She gritted her teeth, and it started to feel like everything in front of her eyes began to look blurry. She was ge
"Everything’s fine now. You can have one and give the other one to my brother so that both of you won’t get a hangover."The secretary looked at the two pills in Xavier's hand and smiled in a daze. She did not realize that it was all part of Xavier's plot. Instead, she smiled and took the two small blue pills."Mr. Xavier, you’re so kind. I… I used to dislike you… Burp… But now, I think you’re actually a really nice person…"While she was talking, she burped and reached out her hand to take t
Behind them, Xavier showed a triumphant smile. Damon felt a chill down his back. He turned his head and glanced behind him, but Xavier quickly changed his expression to look innocent, like he never had that evil glance earlier.Damon frowned as he had doubts in his heart, but he also thought that perhaps he had just drunk too much. After all, he still had something on Xavier in his hands, so he probably would not dare to act rashly.He turned around and continued to walk forward.Behind him,
