Chapter 39
Chapter 39 A Honda Accord stopped right in front of Wolfenden Corp.‘s entrance. As soon as the driver got out of the car, he sprinted for the lobby without a care for his car. Not even the security guards could stop him. The driver looked panicked as he jabbed his finger on the elevator button–and he was none other than the boss of Capital Building Material Corp., Kenneth.
Taking Gabriel‘s suggestion, he had come straight to Wolfenden Corp. to apologize in person! He was not wasting even one second with it, and this was the first time in his life that he felt how tortuously slow the elevator was.
In the meeting room. Miles snorted. “Mr. Oxley, do you think we should be praising you for being efficient?” Easton‘s heart dropped. Miles‘ tone did not sound kind! Ben stood up with a glower. “G– Grandpa—”
Ben raised a hand to slap Easton, stunning the latter. The young man was frightened and asked shakily, “G–Grandpa, have I done something wrong?” “Idiot! You‘ve caused so much damage to the company!” roared Ben.
“Who asked you to go to Mr. Young personally without Ms. Wolfenden‘s permission!? Do you think you‘re capable? Stupid!”
Easton felt utterly wronged. He did not understand it. It was the company that had asked him to get the contract signed, and it was also the company that had said he would not be able to accomplish it. Now that he had accomplished it, no one was praising him. Even his grandfather, who favored him the most, had slapped him in front of everyone!
Trevor and Miles watched with a smirk. Trying to play the pity party card? The joke‘s on them – they were not going to be bothered.
Sadie sucked in a deep breath. “Easton, not too long ago, Mr. Young called all the construction material suppliers in Clouspring and asked them to stop supplying materials to Wolfenden Corp.
“What have you actually done to have angered Mr. Young so much?”
Easton felt chills run down his spine. ‘H–how could this be? I did not know things would turn out like this!
He simply felt this was a trick from Miles and must not let the latter succeed.
“I–I…” Easton was so frightened that he was at a loss for words. Miles mocked, “Mr. Oxley‘s brain isn‘t functioning very well, obviously. You didn‘t think of this when you did it, huh?”
Easton‘s gaze on Miles was furious.At that moment, the door to the meeting room suddenly swung open, and a middle–aged man whose right nostril still had scrunched–up tissue barged in a little hastily.Trevor looked alarmed when he saw the man. He was shocked. ‘Why is Kenneth here!?‘Kenneth started awkwardly. “Mr. Wolfenden, s–sorry. I was in too much haste…”Sadie stood up, looking very surprised. ‘Why is Mr. Young here?‘ Kenneth went up and explained politely, “Mr. Wolfenden, I‘m so sorry. It‘s a misunderstanding. I called the other company owners and told them that it was all a misunderstanding!“Wolfenden Corp. will always be Capital Building Material Corp.‘s VIP. As long as there‘s a demand on your side, our company will prioritize it!”Liam and Sadie were astonished. What was going on? Was this the Kenneth Young they knew?Trevor was in disbelief as he glared at Kenneth. It was just that the latter did not even glance at the Lawsons but looked at Sadie earnestly. “Ms. Wolfenden, I‘ve already transferred the $ 440,000 that I owe to your company account. “It‘s only logical that a loan is repaid. I hope you can forgive my previous offense!”Sadie was dumbfounded.“Mr. Young, you make it sound too serious…‘‘ RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Kenneth then looked at Easton with glowing eyes. “Mr. Oxley!” He approached Easton and grabbed his hands fervently. “You‘re really the team leader of The Tetrad, Mr. Oxley. We had a smooth cooperation
today.“Please give me the chance to work with The Tetrad if it‘s available in the future!“I believe that The Tetrad will definitely become a pillar of support in Wolfenden Corp. under your leadership!” Easton‘s grandfather, Ben, was baffled. Was his grandson… so skilled? Easton was still confused but seeing how servile Kenneth was being, he puffed up his chest promptly. “Thank you for the flattery, Mr. Young.” Kenneth hurried to say, “No, no, not at all. It comes from the bottom of my heart!” Kenneth then asked anxiously, “Ms. Wolfenden, um, can I leave now?” Sadie‘s lips parted slightly. She did not exactly know what to say, so she only replied dryly, “of course…”Kenneth was all smiles even though he looked rather funny with the tissue in his nostril.“Uh, okay, please, go on with your meeting, Ms. Wolfenden. I‘ll excuse myself now!”Liam snapped out of his daze and asked, “Sadie, send Mr. Young off.” Kenneth waved his hands in a frenzy. “No need, no need! Please, stay put, Ms. Wolfenden. I‘ll leave on my own!”Kenneth‘s panicky and terrorized look confused both Liam and Sadie. The meeting room was lulled into an unnerving silence after Kenneth left as well. That was until Easton broke it.“Ms. Wolfenden, can I go now?”Sadie broke out of her trance and nodded with an odd gaze. “Head back to the projects department first…”
Easton fled. As for his grandfather, he was upset now and did not want to care about the oldman!Trevor and Miles looked incredibly dismayed.Liam could care less as he called some of the construction material owners right in front of them.“Mr. Sun, it‘s me, Liam Wolfenden…” “Mr. Wolfenden! I was just about to call you. The call earlier was just a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!” “That‘s good to know…”Several calls down the line reflected a similar attitude from the owners. After the calls, Sadie asked Trevor, “Mr. Trevor, you‘ve asked The Tetrad to handle this, What do you think now?” There was a slight change in Trevor’s expression, but he held it back and said with a blank face, “Not bad. Reward them with some bonuses.”He could no longer sit around and got up to leave the meeting room after that.Sadie scoffed upon seeing Trevor and Miles leave in a hurry and rejoiced. That was for shooting themselves in the foot!Trevor called Kenneth the moment he was in Miles‘ office.“Kenneth Young, what‘s the problem with you!? Are you playing me for a fool?” Trevor questioned fiercely.Kenneth was even more furious as he cursed, “F*ck you, Trevor Lawson! Don‘t drag me along if you want to die! “I
almost died because of a fool like you! Call me again, and I‘ll get someone to end you!“B*stard! F*ck!” Kenneth cussed and hung up right away without any regard for Trevor.
