A few minutes later, Queta gave Connor Peyton's phone number.
Connor didn't want to waste a second, so he called Peyton imdiately.
"Ding, ding, ding…"
The phone rang for a long ti before Peyton picked up.
"Who is it?"
Peyton wasn't in a good mood at the mont, so his tone was very rough.
"Mr. Zook, we t at the entrance of Yarlford University today. You won't forget so quickly, right?"
Connor said with a smile.
When Peyton heard Connor's words, he could not help but be stunned for a mont. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you Connor McDonald?"
"That's right, it's !"
"Why are you calling ? Let tell you, we won't let you off for slapping today!"
Peyton said in a low voice.
"Mr. Zook, stop pretending in front of . Others may not understand you, but do you think I don't? You're just a small fry in the Zook family. I don't even care about Watson Zook, so why would I care about you?"
Connor said calmly.
"Did you call today to humiliate ?" Peyton shouted excitedly.
"I'm not trying to humiliate you. I'm trying to help you!"
"Help ?"
Peyton was stunned for a mont, then asked in confusion, "What exactly do you want to help with"
"You should know what happened at the Zook family's birthday banquet last ti. The Zook family and I are in a state of irreconcilable enmity now. On top of that, the Goz family also wants to kill . Therefore, I want to deal with them…" Connor said slowly.
"This is your business. What does it have to do with ?"
Peyton asked in confusion.
"I want to deal with the enemy who killed your father. Don't tell it has nothing to do with you?" Connor asked.
"McDonald, don't spout nonsense here!"
"You know very well whether I'm talking nonsense or not. You know very well how your father died back then and who killed him. But you're alone now and can't deal with them at all. Therefore, you can only choose to pretend that you don't know anything…" Connor said directly.
"What nonsense…"
Peyton's tone did not seem to be as tough as before, though.
"Mr. Zook, you know your current situation. Your grandfather still has 51% of the shares. This is your last chance. Once your grandfather dies, the entire Zook family will belong to Watson. Do you think Watson will still keep you by his side when that ti cos?"
Connor said lightly.
"You…"
Connor's words left Peyton speechless.
"Mr. Zook, this is your best opportunity. If you cannot grasp this, you will never have the chance to turn the tables around in this lifeti…"
Peyton held his phone with a conflicted expression. He knew that Connor's words were very reasonable.
Hudson still had 51% of his shares that he hadn't handed over, so Watson didn't dare to do anything to him. Now, Watson would still send him money every month and let him be the general manager of Zook Cable Company's cable company. However, if Hudson died, it might not be possible for Peyton to survive.
Not to ntion, Peyton wanted to avenge his father.
Peyton had never given up on revenge, but he was too weak; he was no match for the Goz family and Watson combined. All these years, he could only pretend not to know anything.
"Mr. Zook, I have already said what I should say. As for what you plan to do, that is your business…"
Connor saw that Peyton didn't say anything for a long ti and was about to hang up the phone.
"How do you plan to cooperate with ?" Peyton suddenly asked.
"Let's talk about the details of the cooperation face to face. Things might not be clear over the phone..."
"Alright, you decide on the ti and place!"
Peyton said in a low voice.
"I'll contact you when the ti cos!"
Connor replied happily and then hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Connor heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "As long as we can deal with this Peyton, the rest will be simple!"
"Mr. McDonald, Peyton Zook has agreed to cooperate, right?"
Queta asked excitedly.
"Does he have any other choice?"
Connor turned his head and glanced at Queta.
"That's great…"
Queta's expression was a little excited.
"Book a restaurant at seven o'clock tomorrow night. Then, the two of us will go and talk to Peyton about cooperation face-to-face…" Connor continued.
"Alright, I'll go and book a restaurant now!"
Queta quickly agreed.
After Connor saw Queta book a restaurant, he did not stay in her office. Instead, he stood up and left.
…
The next day, at seven o'clock in the evening.
Connor and Queta walked into the largest restaurant in Yarlford. After entering the restaurant, there was a waiter who was in charge of receiving them. He directly brought Connor and Queta to a private room.
Peyton had been waiting in the private room for more than half an hour.
Connor couldn't help but smile when he saw Peyton. From this, it could be seen that Peyton really wanted to cooperate with Connor.
"Mr. Zook, you ca so early?"
Connor said to Peyton with a smile.
"I also just arrived…"
Peyton replied in a low voice.
"Mr. Zook, we got to know each other through fighting. There was a small misunderstanding at the entrance of Yarlford University previously. I hope you don't take it to heart!"
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Connor saw that Peyton's attitude towards him was still very good, so he did not continue to give him a hard ti.
"Mr. McDonald, that matter is already in the past. Moreover, I was the one who harassed your girlfriend. I was in the wrong, so let's not ntion it!"
When Peyton saw that Connor had taken the initiative to apologize to him, his mood instantly improved a lot and he hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Alright, alright. Since you're not going to pursue this matter, I won't say anything more. What do you want to eat?"
Connor sat on the main seat while talking, while Queta chose to sit next to Connor.
"I'm fine with anything. Mr. McDonald, please order!"
Peyton handed the nu to him.
It was Connor's first ti at this restaurant, so he didn't know what to order and ended up handing the nu to Queta.
Queta could read the room—she picked up the nu and walked out of the private room, leaving Connor and Peyton alone to talk.
