He handed a note with a phone number to Fraser.
Fraser looked at the number on it and nodded, "Got it, Mr. Murphy."
"Go ahead." Stanley waved his hand.
Fraser turned around and went out.
Stanley pinched the bridge of his nose, took a document and had a look at it.
Suddenly, there was a ruckus outside the office.
Stanley frowned, "Who's out there?"
"Mr. Murphy, Mr. Sam wants to see you." A secretary poked a head in and answered.
"Sam?" Stanley narrowed his eyes, "Let him in."
"Yes." The secretary responded.
The next second, the door to the office opened and a middle-aged man walked in, with anger on his face.
He walked up to Stanley's desk and slapped both hands on Stanley's desk, "Stanley, what the hell do you want?"
"What do you mean?" Stanley looked up at him indifferently.
Sam gave an angry grunt, "Of course it was your move to capture Ivan, why on earth did you do that? He's your cousin!"
"Haven’t you found out what happened before you came to question me?" Stanley's eyes grew cold.
Sam pulled out a chair and sat down, "Why should I? Whatever the reason is, you can’t treat your cousin like that? Everyone knows what you have done, and we are like a joke to them."
"So what?" Stanley responded.
Sam burst into anger, "So what? Don't you know what they're really thinking? They want our Family to be in internal turmoil so that they can take advantage of the chance to go against us!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Sam, they don't have a chance yet, because between Ivan and I, there is no dispute over interests, but rather a personal grudge, it won't affect the Murphy Group." Stanley said in a cold voice.
Sam froze, "Even so, you can’t do that. They may spread some rumors that are untrue about our family."
"It's okay, after I catch Ivan, I'll hold a press conference to explain those rumors, so you don't have to worry about it." Stanley picked up another document and flipped it over.
Sam was speechless, out of anger.
Still, he hadn't forgotten his true purpose for coming here, and after taking a deep breath, he forced a smile out of his somewhat obese face.
Looking closely, that smile was surprisingly a bit pleasing, "Stanley, I don't know what exactly happened between you and your cousin, but after all, you are cousins, so why don't you just let it go and don't arrest him?"
A mocking light flashed in Stanley's eyes as he closed the document. He spoke clearly, "So you came here to tell me to desist from arresting Ivan?"
"Ahem, sort of."
"No!" Stanley refused without mercy.
Sam's expression froze, "Why?"
"Because he kidnapped my wife and held her hostage to fall off a cliff, how do you think I can let him go?" Stanley looked at him with icy eyes.
Sam shivered at the look in his eyes, and even the fat on his face trembled.
How dare he?
When his father was alive, he was not as domineering at Stanley.
Sam swallowed, for the sake of Ivan, forcing down the trepidation inside, trying desperately to maintain a smile on his face, "Is that so? Is your wife alright?"
