Meanwhile, in Jadeborough, Daniel was dining with Wendy and Cecilia when Brandon’s call came in.
The moment he heard the report, Daniel’s expression changed drastically. “What? Vinson had the cheek to go straight to Luke? Did he say anything to you or Trevor?”
Brandon replied, “No, not at all… After turning me down at the airport, he left to meet Luke to sign the contract. But don’t worry. I’ve ensured that Mr. Larson is on our side. He’ll do everything in his power to help us thwart Nightshire Group’s development plans in Horington. As long as Vinson fails to deliver on the project in Zaprington, he can forget about expanding his business to Horington.”
Upon hearing that, Daniel felt a little more at ease.
“Okay. Continue to keep an eye on Vinson and keep me updated on his every move.”
“Got it!”
As the call ended, doubt once again clouded Daniel’s face.
Is Vinson truly this fearless, or is he just a fool? Our family would have been a formidable backup for him, yet he cast us aside in favor of Luke Yeager. Why would he team up with the very person that we loathe?
Noticing the change in Daniel’s expression, Cecilia couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry. “You don’t look
too good. Did something happen? What has Vinson done now?”
Daniel let out a deep sigh before repeating what Brandon had told him earlier.
Cecilia said through gritted teeth, “How dare he… Vinson’s set on going against us, isn’t he?”
Now, it was Wendy’s turn to feel apprehensive.
With a trembling voice, she muttered, “Dad, do you think Vinson has found out about what we did to Arielle?
Daniel replied while shaking his head, “That’s impossible. I sent mercenaries after her. They wouldn’t have leaked any information about me to that b*tch, so there’s no way for her to trace them back to us.”
“Then why would Vinson…”
Daniel interrupted with a derisive snort, “Because he’s a hot-tempered fellow who can’t stand his ego getting hurt. We might have come on too strong, so let’s shift our focus to Susanne. Do your best on Monday. We can take things slow with regards to Horington…”
