Chapter 89 “What do you mean by that, Mr. Whitman?” asked Patrick, his voice grim and his expression dark.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMichael could notice the grim edge in Patrick’s voice, but he did not care. After all, Patrick posed no threat to him at all. If he was happy, he would do him a favor. If he was unhappy, he could just hang up the call. There was nothing Patrick could do about him. As long as it was not Tuckson, the head of the Allens, he did not have to care about them so much.
“I thought I've made it clear enough? The Whitmans have a lot of expectations of Wolfenden Corp., so we're not going to change our decision,” Michael said without any hesitation. Patrick’s face sank. “Mr. Whitman, as | said earlier, the main purpose of investment is to make money, so don’t you think it’s better if you put your money in a company with a better prospect, such as the Gillete Group?” Although he sounded calm, he was furious. After all, there was no way Wolfenden Corp.could compare to the Gillete Group. Michael replied calmly, “Do you think I'll invest in a company that belongs to someone like Wilson? Sir Allen, letgive you sadvice. You should stay away from Wilson. Nothing good will happen if you get too close to him. After all, I'm sure you know how he started his company.
“Wilson is the reason | decided not to invest in the Gillete Group.
“Of course, if the Gillete Group is willing to change their chairman to another person with a cleaner background, | don’t really mind investing in their company.” ‘What the hell is wrong with him today?’ Patrick chided Michael inwardly. ‘Could it be that he knows the Allens are going to venture into the construction industry, so he wants to foil our plan?’ “Mr. Whitman, Mr. Gillete is no longer the sman as he used to be. We should move on from the past and—".

He cursed him inwardly and replied politely, “Then, please go ahead and do your stuff. | won't be bothering you anymore.” After he hung up the call, Patrick’s face contorted out of shape from his anger. “How dare you act all high and mighty in front of me, Michael!? Just you wait! I'll pull you down from your throne one day. In Clouspring, the Allens are the strongest!” It took Patrick a long tbefore he calmed himself down. After that, he made a call to Wilson. “Sir Allen?” “Mr. Gillete, something bad happened. The Whitmans intend to enter the construction industry, and they have chosen Wolfenden Corp.” “What!?” shouted Wilson. ‘Why would the Whitmans suddenly want to enter this industry? Does this not mean that | can’t get Wolfenden Corp. anymore?’ As if he knew what was on his mind, Patrick said calmly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Gillete. I'll inform my brother. He'll know what to do with Michael.” Wilson inhaled sharply and asked, “W-Will your brother help us?” Patrick snorted slightly. “You have underestimated my brother. We have been planning to get rid of the Whitmans. “Since Michael refuses to back down, we shall show him who's the boss in Clouspring.” It was only then Wilson was relieved. After he ended the call, Patrick’s face sank. ‘It’s all Michael's fault. If it hadn't been for him, | wouldn't have embarrassed myself before Wilson! Patrick was in a bad mood. After that, he made a call, “Tony, where are you?” “I'm in the northern suburbs now, Sir Allen.” “I have a mission for you. There's a guy called Kayson in Wolfenden Corp. Kill him and send his head to the chairman’s office of the Gillete Group.” “Yes, sir!” Patrick’s eyes were cold and dark. Since Michael made him embarrass himself before Wilson, he was going to get it back from him by killing Kayson.
Kayson received a call from Jason before he got off work. Jason invited him for a meal as he would return to Greenspring tomorrow afternoon. Since Jason had invited him, Kayson had no other choice but to say yes.
