Damian Knight’s eyes gradually deepened, but in an instant, they returned to his usual indifference.
It seems the Grant Family is determined to force him into submission.
"Understood." He spoke indifferently, "Tell them I’m busy tonight, let’s et for lunch tomorrow. Also, ask if the chairman of Yates Enterprises would have ti to et at Zale Hotel."
"Yates Group?" The expression of the subsidiary staff changed slightly.
The Yates and the Lewis Corporations are rival companies, and the competition between them is intense.
However, Yates does not have the backing of Rivain’s largest conglorate, The Grant Corporation, so its foundation isn’t as stable as Lewis Corporation’s.
eting with Yates implies that Damian Knight intends to change his business partner.
"I understand." The subordinate nodded slightly and imdiately set about contacting Yates Group.
The Yates Group was quite pleased and agreed to et at Zale Hotel in an hour.
...
On the other side, Susan Stone, who had her call disconnected, was even more anxious.
Her foolish son, though intelligent, was not flexible in interpersonal relationships. If the Grant Family gets offended, they might openly oppose them, ruining the collaboration. What then?
After pondering for a while, Susan Stone decided to first reassure Mrs. Grant.
After hesitating for a mont, Susan dialed Mrs. Grant’s number and asked warmly, "Willow’s Mom, what are you planning to bake on Monday? I’ll have the servants prepare the ingredients in advance so you won’t have to bring anything; just co over."
Mrs. Grant’s lips slowly curled into a smile as she received the call.
"That’s really too much trouble for you..."
"No trouble at all, we’re friends, no need to be so formal."
Mrs. Grant held her phone tightly and said, "Then I look forward to the day we beco in-laws."
On the other end, Susan choked, gave a dry laugh, and said, "See you on Monday then."
"See you on Monday."
Mrs. Grant ended the call first.
Willow Grant quickly asked beside her, "Did Mrs. Stone say anything?"
Mrs. Grant sneered and said, "That Susan Stone may seem arrogant usually, but she can’t hold her composure when it cos to serious matters. Didn’t I just notify Rivain to stall Damian Knight’s cooperation? And then Susan Stone couldn’t wait to call."
Willow Grant’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Mom, do I still have a chance to marry Damian Knight?"
Mrs. Grant said with certainty, "My dear daughter, rest assured, the position of Mrs. Knight, will eventually be yours."
Upon hearing this, Willow Grant’s heart suddenly raced.
Before this, she had actually lost hope of marrying Damian Knight, but now, hope rekindled.
She was the most suitable person for Damian Knight!
She was the only one who could aid Damian Knight, whereas Sumr Monroe... heh, by this ti next year, would be her morial day.
Thinking of this, Willow Grant quickly asked, "How’s Dad doing?"
Mrs. Grant, while packing, replied, "He just called and said he’s already found Sumr Monroe. She’s at Crestfall University. Your dad is personally on his way there."
"At school?"
Willow Grant frowned slightly, wondering why Sumr Monroe would be at school at this ti.
Could she be in the archives again?
What on earth was she doing in the archives?
Never mind, it doesn’t matter what she’s doing, after all, Sumr Monroe is dood.
Willow Grant pondered for a mont, then called her father.
"Dad, Sumr Monroe might be in the school library. She often goes there."
"Got it."
After ending the call, Willow Grant couldn’t suppress the upward curve of her lips.
She was eager to hear the news of Sumr Monroe’s demise.
