Meanwhile, in Horington, Trevor had swiftly acquired all the companies that manufactured construction materials.
His assistant, however, couldn‘t help but voice his concerns. “Mr. Larson, we‘ve drained all our accounts and even mortgaged our branch offices to take out loans. If Mr. Nightshire doesn‘t give in to us within a week, we‘ll be bankrupt. Don‘t you think you should reconsider your actions?”
Trevor‘s expression instantly became sullen. “Well, it‘s too late for regrets. Besides, shouldn‘t you have persuaded me back when we stood Vinson up? What‘s the use of saying all these now? Since you have so much time on your hand, I want you to spread the news. Let Vinson know the price he has to pay for going against the Greenes and us!”
“Yes, I‘m on it…” the assistant murmured before slinking away.
At Nightshire Group‘s branch office in Horington, Vinson was about to depart for the airport when the branch manager came looking for him.
“Mr. Nightshire, Mr. Luke Yeager is here.”
“Luke Yeager?”
After a moment‘s thought, Vinson settled back into his chair. “All right, send him in.”
“Yes!”
Before long, Luke strode into the office with a grim look on his face.
Question marks flooded Vinson‘s mind as he gave Luke a once–over. “Mr. Yeager, what happened? Are you not happy with the contract?”
Luke hastily replied, “No, no. There‘s no problem with the contract. It‘s Trevor.”
“Trevor Larson?”
At the mention of Trevor‘s name, Luke gritted his teeth in anger.
“When Trevor found out that I was working with you, he bought out all the construction material manufacturers in Horington. How am I supposed to get my hands on materials for my construction needs? How on earth do I build anything at all? Trevor is just out to destroy me!”
