Chapter 449 Clearing the Place
Seeing that Elise wasn’t paying attention to him, Russel lost his temper at once. “Hey, what the hell is on your mind? Didn’t you hear what I said? Didn’t you see how much pain Daniel’s in? What the hell are you waiting for? Hurry up and cure him now!”
Elise tapped on today’s financial news in silence while still ignoring Russell. As she had expected, Maxwell wasn’t only unwilling to pay the money; he was also secretly plotting to deal the Griffith Group the finishing blow at the moment. He had even stretched his claws toward the Anderson Family; only he hadn’t been found out for the time being since he had done so in a covert way. After pondering for a moment, Elise picked up her phone and dialed a number.
“Who is it?” Nathan sounded quite irritated as he was roused from sleep.
Just as Elise was about to respond, Russell daringly made a lunge at her and snatched her phone away directly. He said testily, “I’m talking to you! Did you hear me?”
As soon as he took her phone away, though, he met her eyes, which had appeared delicate and beautiful to him at first glance. At this moment, however, her eyes were dark and gloomy and gleaming with a strong murderous desire, as though she would go on a killing spree at any time.
Elise was half a head shorter than Russell, but she naturally projected a commanding aura even when she wasn’t looking angry. Seeing the look in her eyes, Russell unconsciously gulped a mouthful of saliva and silently put her phone back in place.
Elise shot him a chilly sidelong glance. Then, she went on and said to the other end of the line, “I’ve found you a fun job to do, Nathan.”
Russell’s cloudy eyes instantly widened with astonishment when he heard Nathan’s name. Nathan?! Is that the Nathan York that I know about? So the rumors are true that Elise and Alexander have a close relationship with Nathan York! If the Andersons manage to establish a relationship with him, we’ll have a divine hand in opening up the global market in the future, won’t we?
Unaware of the old devil’s scheming, Elise pressed her lips together, waiting for Nathan’s reply.
Nathan got out of bed and found a bath towel to wrap around his lower body. Then, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. After breathing in with a hiss, he asked leisurely, “What’s the job?”
“Buying out the Dahlens’ family business,” replied Elise.
“No problem.” Nathan responded to her request without hesitation, but he bared his fangs soon afterward. “As long as you give me the word, making any business in the country go bust or lose all its capital is never a problem for me. Still, I can’t keep doing business at a loss, right? And besides, I’ve got to answer to my clients.”
Elise seemed to realize what he was getting at. “What do you want?”
“That’s exactly what I like about you. You’re always so straightforward.” Nathan walked over to the French window with his wine glass between his fingers. Looking down at the ground below, he continued in earnest, “I want to meet with A in person.”
Elise didn’t want to take advantage of him, though. She reminded him kindheartedly, saying, “Are you sure you’ll be able to answer to your clients after meeting with A? However capable A is, she’s just a human being.”
However, Nathan replied with conviction, “Well, just as no one will turn down a dinner with Warren Buffett, I believe that a meeting with A will be worth more than its price.”
“Alright then. I’ll help introduce you to her when this matter is over,” Elise replied.
“Okay.” Nathan threw his head back and gulped another sip of his red wine. After smacking his lips, he said confidently, “It won’t take long.”
