Chapter 898 Submitting
Zavion's voice was loud due to his intense fury, and every prominent figure of the corporate world at the side heard him.
These moguls in the corporate world had begun to waver after witnessing the failure of the Downey family's financial attack against Dragon Fide Corporation.
Now, after hearing Zavion warn his grandson not to lay a finger on Donald, they knew what choice they should make.
When one of them discreetly ran over to Geraldine's side, the others soon followed suit.
In the blink of an eye, none of the influential figures were on Wilfred's side.
Wilfred, who was used to having the support of others at all times, felt humiliated by that.
He gritted his teeth and asked, “Grandpa, why can't I do anything to Donald? With just one word from me, Donald's going to be groveling at my feet begging for mercy. The companies backing Jennifer up will no longer matter by then. I'll be the lord of the land!”
“Shut up!” Zavion snapped. “We would have dealt with Donald a long time ago if he was that easy to deal with. Use your brain! Don't make things so complicated in the corporate world!”
The Downey family tended to use underhanded tricks to deal with entities they were unable to defeat in the corporate world.
Yet, the Ten Prestigious Families were seriously petrified of Donald and Jennifer. They did not dare to harass either of them.
After all, they knew that Donald and Jennifer had powerful people backing them.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
That was why Zavion was in such haste to stop Wilfred from doing anything to Donald. Those who had laid a finger on Donald had all died, and no one knew what caused their deaths.
“Well? Are you done chatting with your grandpa? If you are, why don't you pass the phone to me? I'd like to have a chat with your grandpa.”
“Who do you think you are to talk to my grandpa—”
Before Wilfred could finish his sentence, Zavion told him, “Hand him the phone. I'll talk to him.”
At that, Wilfred took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
When he passed his phone to Donald, the latter loudly uttered, “Zavion, you old man, you're a little too bold, aren't you? How dare you launch a financial attack on my company?”
Although Zavion was irked by the way Donald called him an old man, he had no choice but to endure it, for half of the Downey family's funds had already been taken by Dragon Fide Corporation.
Chuckling sheepishly, Zavion said, “Mr. Campbell, we didn't do that. Wilfred's just young and insensible. That's why he's doing something as irrational as this. Mr. Campbell, could you please return us the Downey family's funds first?”
“You messed with us, and now you're trying to get back your money by giving us a flimsy excuse like that? You're underestimating the severity of this matter.”
“What else do you want, Mr. Campbell? I'm discussing these matters with you nicely, hoping that we'll strive toward the same goal as allies. Do you really think that you'll be able to withstand another financial attack if our family joins forces with the other prestigious families and launches another one?”
A soft chuckle escaped Donald. This old man's becoming senile.
“Zavion, why would you waste your time threatening me? Since you said that you and the Ten Prestigious Families can still keep up with this, go ahead. Let's not show each other any mercy. Take a look at your stock prices, and let's start this battle again.”
Right as Donald said that, Serena quickly checked Downey Group's stock prices.
Sure enough, in a mere minute and a little more, Downey Group's stock prices had soared.
The rapid increase in the stock price was indeed terrifying. Clearly, Donald possessed a significant amount of capital and trading volume, which had caused the Downey family's stock price to become so volatile.
“Sir, the Downey family's stock prices aren't the only ones getting affected! The rest of the prestigious families' stock prices are swiftly rising too!”
