But although Kenneth Osborne answered the phone, he didn’t say anything.
The argunt he had with Lawrence Winters in the car just now was still fresh in his mind, and he hadn’t recovered from it. He wasn’t in the mood to act like everything was fine.
On Lawrence’s side, it seed he hadn’t thought that far, and he got straight to the point by asking, "Ken, was it you who issued the statent to withdraw from our partnership?"
Kenneth felt a tinge of irony in his heart and responded with a faint "Hmm."
"What does ’hmm’ even an? Why are you withdrawing?" Lawrence asked, very dissatisfied, "Is it because of our argunt? Even kids in kindergarten wouldn’t do that, co on!"
Kenneth curled his lips, "This isn’t about an argunt. I’ve thought it through; as long as I’m involved, the Spencer Group will surely interfere, and we can’t shake them off. So it’s better for to withdraw and eliminate their opportunity to ddle."
Lawrence rubbed his temples, "How could you think that? Do you think that if you’re not involved, Caron Spencer will let us go? He’ll definitely find a way to keep stirring things up."
"I’ve heard people say Caron Spencer is particularly shaless. Whatever he wants, he’ll do anything to get it. If he can’t have it, he’ll destroy it so no one else can either! — He’s just that unreasonable!"
Kenneth frowned, "Who did you hear that from?"
Lawrence was slightly taken aback and replied instinctively, "That’s not the point. The point is that you withdrew without consulting . Am I not even worth considering to you? Also, do you think withdrawing will solve the problem?"
"Why isn’t that the point?" Kenneth said in a low voice, "I need to know the source of the information to make a correct judgnt. Who told you what Caron Spencer is like?"
Lawrence hesitated for a mont but still said, "It was Edward Foster. He ant well..."
"Edward Foster again? Why did he tell you about this? Did you go to him?" Kenneth’s temper flared even more.
"He saw your statent trending and called to ask what was going on. He ant well, and I didn’t throw you under the bus. I told him it was sothing we agreed on," Lawrence also frowned.
Kenneth was quite resistant to information coming from Edward Foster.
With a blank expression, he put on his Bluetooth headset, set his phone aside, and continued comparing code with one hand on the mouse, saying, "No matter what kind of person Caron Spencer is, it has nothing to do with you anymore. I’m out, so he won’t have a legitimate reason to interfere."
Lawrence, in a huff, said, "Can you at least consult with before you make these decisions in the future? We’re supposed to be partners; is this how partners work?"
Kenneth thought, no wonder the veterans in the investnt world always say that you shouldn’t do business with your spouse; otherwise, you’ll end up having minor argunts every three days and major ones every five days, which seriously affects family life...
He said lightly, "I won’t. It won’t happen again."
...
Caron Spencer’s subordinates also saw the trending topic and imdiately reported it to him.
Caron Spencer snorted, thinking Kenneth Osborne sure acts quickly...
But does he really think that by withdrawing, Caron Spencer will also withdraw?
It’s just too naive.
Still too young.
Caron Spencer chuckled and called over Brooke Osborne, saying amiably, "Your brother suddenly withdrew from his cooperation with the Winters Family. Do you know why?"
Brooke was bewildered, "He withdrew? No way, I was talking to him about it this afternoon!"
Caron showed her the trending topic.
Brooke wasn’t much for social dia, and when she saw it, she was dumbfounded, "How could this happen? He didn’t even discuss it with ."
Caron said, "Maybe the Winters Family was dissatisfied with him, or maybe the money is already in place, so they can push him out. In any case, you should remind your brother that the ten billion for the Winters family’s land purchase was guaranteed by his company."
Brooke’s eyes widened, and her heart sank, "Thank you, Mr. Spencer. I’ll call him right away."
She dialed Kenneth’s phone for a long ti before getting through, and asked, "Ken, why did you withdraw from the partnership with the Winters? Did they make things difficult for you?"
Kenneth felt a bit irritated but responded patiently, "No, it was my own decision. I think it’s better for to stick to the industry I’m familiar with. I’m really not familiar with real estate developnt, so it’s better to let it go. Also, since I’ve withdrawn, you shouldn’t get involved either; it’s their business, their land."
By saying this, he ant for Brooke not to focus on the Winters’ business.
But to Brooke’s ears, it confird Caron Spencer’s words that Kenneth had been "burned bridges" after crossing them.
