Chapter181 Kent’s Threat

Kent didn’t care if he was investigated by Logon. Instead, he appeared in Logan's office, saying politely, “Hello, Mr. Brown. On behalf of the Lewis Group, I am here today to show our wish to build up a partnership with you.”

After finishing his sentence, he turned to smile at Elena, “I said we would meet again. What a coincidence!”

“Hey, shall I call you ‘Kevin’? Nice to meet you, again.” Elena snorted, showing a fake smile to him. She emphasized his fake name on purpose.

Kent didn’t explain but said jokingly, “Come on, I was just kidding. Don’t take it seriously.”

Elena looked away without saying a word. Feeling her indifference, he pretended to be sad, “Oh, come on! We’ve met twice. What a wonderful destiny! I thought we could be friends. But seemingly you don’t agree. I’m hurt!”

“A wonderful destiny? You think your trick is a wonderful destiny? How interesting!”

“Mrs. Brown, don’t stick to details. It’s annoying to keep eyes on details. Am I right, Mr. Brown?” Kent said with a nasty smile.

Logan became sullen, saying in a cold tone, “Aren’t you here to talk about partnership? Why do you change the subject? Or, that's not why you're here? It’s your excuse?”

Logan looked so stern, and a bit scary, which frightened people from having any eye contact with him.

Kent was a little scared by him, too. But soon he composed himself, and smiled, “Take it easy. Give me some trust. Can’t you see I am so sincere in our partnership?”

“Well,” Logan curled his lips, “Anyway, I am sorry to tell you that I am not going to have a partnership with the Lewis Group. We are doing well and we don’t need it.”

While Kent looked doubtful, “You’re working on a bid for QS, right? Believe me. I can help you get the bid. I can tell you the price and proposals of other companies for the bid.”

Elena’s face darkened, “Are you threatening us?”

Kent shook his head, “No, no! I will never do that to you. I am showing my sincerity. It's up to you to take my idea.”

“You mean that you’ve already known the price and the proposal of my company as well?” Logan said in a cold tone.

But Kent laughed, “I never said that. But you won’t believe me, right? By the way, there’s not much time. I am afraid that you can’t make a new proposal in time.”

Logan became even more sullen. Elena blurted out, “No way! Our colleagues are in a hotel. They are isolated. They can’t leak any secrets!”

“Relax.” Kent pretended to soothe her, “I just meant that metaphorically. How do you know I really have your proposal?”

He was smiling at Logan again, “Mr. Brown, you will cooperate with me, won’t you? I know you are smart and I am admiring you. If we work together, we can make an empire together.”

Logan sneered, “Why do I have to work with you to build my empire?”

Kent became a little angry and anxious, “So you are rejecting me?”

“I don’t believe crocodile tears. And no one can ever threaten me. Am I clear?”

Kent was irritated by him. He stood up immediately, “Don’t hit me with that bullshit! Do you think it is a wise choice for you to reject our partnership? Don’t forget. I may have your proposal!”

Seeing his angry face, Logan shook his head. Kent was still too young to hide his emotions.

Logan smiled at him, like he didn’t care at all, “I don’t care. Our conversation is over now. You may go. Have a good day.”

“Logan Brown!” Kent was shocked by his arrogance, “So you don’t mind losing the bid?”

“That’s none of your business. If you want to threaten me with this and force me to do as you wish, my answer is no. Don’t try to challenge me.”

Though Logan made himself clear, Kent still couldn’t believe Logan would reject him so directly.

However, while he was thinking, Jacob was asked to escort him out of the office, “Jacob, please send Kent out. Tell him that we are not going to work with the Lewis Group.”

Kent gritted his teeth in rage, but he couldn’t do anything but to leave.

Before he left, he turned around and looked at Elena meaningfully, “We will meet again.”

His smirk was like a venomous snake, seizing the chance to bite her to death, which made her lose her breath for a moment.

Giving Kent a sharp stare as a warning, Logan pulled Elena to his side and tried to protect her from Kent.

Elena was relaxed till Kent disappeared. She was worried, “What should we do? What if he isn’t lying? What if he really knows our proposal? If we don’t cooperate, will he leak it out?”

“Don’t worry.” He pinched her hand.

“But…”

Compared with her worry, Logan was so calm, “Relax. I trust my employees. Jacob will ask them to redo the proposal. We might be late. But late is better than never.”

“Redo it? Can they finish it in time?” she felt more worried. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Logan patted her hand to comfort her, “If they can’t finish it in time, we will give up this bid. Don’t worry. We never rely on this project. Just feel a little pity since they’ve made great efforts on this project.”

But Kent could turn their efforts into a joke. Elena’s voice was trembling with anger, “How could he! Who is he really? How can he have get these proposals?”

“Perhaps he’s just bluffing.”

What Logan said didn’t comfort her, but deepened her worries. She felt guilty, “I am the one to blame, right? He did this because of me. If it weren’t for me, KL wouldn’t have been in trouble…”

“This isn’t about you.” Logan stopped her softly, “It’s about business competition. They will do anything to win, which is beyond your imagination. So it’s not your fault.”

Elena bit her lips. She was still anxious. She was thinking that she was the only one to blame in this case. Because of her, Kent got the chance to threat Logan. It was her fault.

Logan knew what was in her mind now. He said in a low voice, “I said, it’s not your fault.”
