Joseph really wanted to say, "Since you think there’s no need for cooperation, then why did you take Sea Wave Heart Language?"
But considering the current situation, he couldn’t afford to anger Kyle Keaton any further.
If Kyle revealed the two big secrets he held, The Marsden Family would have no way out.
So, after careful consideration, Joseph could only lower his lofty stance and apologize very sincerely.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Keaton, it was dishonorable of . I hope you can forgive for the sake of the decades-long friendship between you and your grandfather."
But as it turned out, apologies don’t necessarily lead to forgiveness.
"That’s your relationship, not mine, and I believe if my grandfather knew you hired rcenaries to buy my life, he’d probably want to bury The Marsden Family himself."
Kyle Keaton was not wrong.
Elder Kane hadn’t returned to the country for a long ti and was very pleased that his grandson ca abroad to accompany him in his old age.
Every day he showed concern for Kyle Keaton, worried that he might not adapt to life abroad.
And to be honest, having such an outstanding grandson take over all his businesses and lead them to a brighter, more glorious future was the happiest thing in Elder Kane’s life.
Now that soone dared to break this hard-won happiness, Elder Kane would certainly want to take that person down with him before entering the grave.
"I know just apologizing with words isn’t enough for my mistakes. How about this, Mr. Keaton, just na your terms. As long as it’s sothing Joseph can do, I won’t shy away from it."
Joseph also knew that even if Elder Kane rembered the years of peaceful coexistence, he wouldn’t forgive him this ti, especially since it concerned the life and death of his precious grandson.
But he also understood that if he couldn’t make Kyle Keaton feel at ease this ti, The Marsden Family would suffer.
"Seeing that you’re so sincere in your apology, I can forgive you. But the prerequisite is that you give your Beth’s formula."
"The Beth’s formula is our original creation by The Marsden Family, the foundation of our standing in the beauty industry!"
Joseph was utterly flabbergasted.
He’d seen bandits before, but he’d never encountered such a shaless bandit like Kyle Keaton.
Beth was the first beauty skincare product developed by their Marsden Family’s ancestors.
The product could effectively reduce fine lines and make the skin silky smooth, ensuring its place among the world’s top ten luxury skincare products, and beca the Marsden Family’s first big moneymaker.
For many years, The Marsden Family had refused to jointly develop other series of Beth products with other companies, all to protect the Beth formula.
But who would have thought Kyle Keaton would dare to make such an exorbitant demand.
"Mr. Keaton, I think it would be more appropriate to choose another condition."
Joseph was almost grinding his teeth.
But Kyle Keaton retorted coldly, "It seems Mr. Joseph still hasn’t figured out your current predicant. In that case, there’s no need for us to continue this discussion."
How could Joseph not know that The Marsden Family was now caught between wolves in front and tigers behind, with Kyle Keaton muddying the waters in between?
If they handed over the Beth formula, it ant The Marsden Family might lose a major part of their funding source in the future.
But if they didn’t hand over the formula, The Marsden Family would surely face a dead end!
So after weighing it carefully, Joseph compromised: "Don’t go, I’ll give you the formula..."
After so negotiation, Joseph handed over the Beth formula, and Kyle Keaton destroyed the screenshot of his transfer to the head of the Alpha rcenary Corps in front of him.
