It seems that the matter of the eldest son back then was probably his doing, wasn’t it?
The old man had a faint, helpless bitter smile at the corner of his mouth; as long as the eldest son died, the family heir would beco her. He never imagined her intentions were so deep... But now, what else could he do?
Suddenly, Caleb Shawcross had a bright idea and spoke slowly, "I’ve heard that Landon Lawson is also interested in this deal. He has significant influence in this city. If we can get his help and join forces, there’s a good chance we could take down the second young master."
"Then go contact this man as soon as possible. So things really cannot be delayed any longer. If ti drags on, even we will be powerless to change anything."
The old man said weakly...
Though he has now awakened, the years gone by and the previous dication given to him by doctors have left his body far weaker than before. Moreover, with age, he is no longer the spirited person he once was...
Caleb Shawcross could see the old man was very fatigued. He gently laid him down and said slowly, "I will contact Landon Lawson now. Take good care of yourself here."
"Hurry up, this matter really can’t wait any longer."
The old man was coughing incessantly, a trace of worry in his eyes; if they didn’t expedite this, many calamities could arise.
After saying this, Caleb Shawcross quickly walked out.
The old man watched Caleb Shawcross’s thin back, a hint of comfort in his eyes. At least he still had soone like this by his side; it seed that over the years, she might only have Caleb Shawcross left around...
Instead, he had a faint, bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking about how his eldest son had been determined to end his life, yet soone with no blood relation was trying to save him... At tis like these, he felt a sense of gloom, questioning what mistakes he had made in his past life to have birthed such a son...
...
anwhile, Landon Lawson was at his company.
The staff looked at Landon Lawson with worried expressions and said, "Here’s the latest news we’ve received; Axel Yates has started to retaliate against us."
Landon Lawson’s lips tightened into a line, he never imagined Axel Yates could ti things so precisely...
Just as he and Martin Kerr were about to execute their plan, the retaliation began.
Why was every timing so exact? It seed like he and the mysterious figure had already devised a plan...
This unsettling premonition lingered in Landon Lawson’s mind, his lips forming a line while worry flickered in his eyes; if these two had now ford an alliance, he’d have to restart his future plans...
But why did those two co together?
Thinking about it always made Landon Lawson feel odd... Did the mysterious figure know his life a little too well? Or had the figure been targeting him for years? Every ti he considered this, he felt sothing was off...
Landon Lawson’s beautiful eyes were filled with deep worry.
"Have you figured out a strategy?"
Landon Lawson abruptly asked the surrounding staff.
The latter gently shook their head... The opponent’s attack is so fierce, it’s practically suicidal, with no concern about whether their own company will suffer losses...
Every ti they think about it, the staff are puzzled; weren’t these two once friends? Why are they now adversaries?
Though there’s a hint of doubt, as employees they can’t ask about it.
It’s ultimately the boss’s business; they just need to do their jobs...
Landon Lawson pressed his lips tightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. If Axel Yates truly is connected to that mysterious figure... then was Axel Yates’s matter also caused by this person?
Landon Lawson carried a sizable speculation in his heart, though he had no evidence, everything coincided so perfectly, bringing all pieces together.
The staff looked again at Landon Lawson’s deep eyes, clearly realizing this matter wasn’t simple...
Sighing quietly, they resud their tasks.
Suddenly, a loud phone ringtone rang out; Landon Lawson glanced at the unknown caller ID, furrowing his brows... A hint of puzzlent in his eyes...
This was his phone number, known to hardly anyone... He never received calls from strangers, and Landon Lawson was certain this call wasn’t from Axel Yates.
After all, he had Axel’s phone number.
Moreover, given their current relationship, Axel Yates would not call him for no reason.
Landon Lawson originally intended to ignore the call, but as his finger hovered over the reject button, he instinctively slid it to the side, pressing the answer key.
"Is this Landon Lawson? I have sothing to tell you..."
The man’s voice was sowhat urgent, sounding youthful. His voice wasn’t very loud.
"Who are you? Why should I et with you?"
Landon Lawson’s voice contained a hint of sarcasm; after all, he wouldn’t just et anyone who called him during such tumultuous tis...
"Don’t you want to know who the mysterious figure is?" The man’s voice ca through the phone.
Landon Lawson, who was previously calm, suddenly tensed, his muscles taut.
The staff beside him looked at Landon Lawson, puzzled. What’s going on with their CEO? Why is he so tense after taking a call?
Though curious, as a staff mber, they couldn’t ask about it, continuing to fiddle with their tasks...
"Who exactly are you?"
Landon Lawson’s voice was icy, filled with concern about the mysterious figure.
This man has caused lots of trouble for him, being the mastermind behind it all...
Moreover, Miles Grant’s death was always a hurdle in his mind.
He’s long wanted an opportunity to confront the mysterious figure, seeking justice for his good friend.
"Of course, I’m soone who knows that guy..."
