Adonis's face turned serious, and there was a hint of sternness in his tone. "Anson, I told you I was joking."
Anson smiled, "Since we were both joking, why are you looking so serious?"
Adonis's brows furrowed slightly as he said with a hint of anger, "Anson, why are you angry?"
Anson frowned, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips as he said, "Who is angry? Think about it yourself."
Adonis was even more stubborn than Anson.
All of a sudden, Lucian said sternly, "The Clement family's share price is tumbling."
Adonis sneered, "It would be strange if it didn't fall."
Anson also laughed grimly, "Adonis is right. It didn't surprise me at all."
"So, all of you want the Clement family to suffer a great loss?" Buddy's voice suddenly came, cold and emotionless.
When the three of them heard this, they all frowned and then looked at Buddy at the same
time.
Anson threw a guilt look at him. "Buddy, why are you here?"
Buddy was dressed in a becoming suit. His facial features were well-defined. Under his handsome eyebrows, there were two star-like eyes, which were as deep as a cold lake. At the moment, his face was full of anxiety. He smiled bitterly and said, "Anson, as you see, I have to come."
Anson let out a sigh. They knew everything about the Clement family now.
He said in a solemn tone, "Buddy, Victor is not in the company now."
Buddy nodded and said, "I know he's not here. I'm here to see you. Can you go to the hospital with me?"
After Buddy finished, he looked at Anson quietly.
Upon hearing this, Anson slightly furrowed his eyebrows. His lips were tightly pressed together, and his expression was a little cold.
He knew very well the reason why Buddy had come here.
Victor now had great influence in River City.
His outstanding business talent and personal charm were recognized by everyone. In the past three years, he had been constantly breaking through himself, from "a willful tyrant" to "a mature and experienced president". He had been working hard to become the bellwether of this field.
Outsiders didn't know how many efforts Victor had made, but they knew it clearly.
Three years ago, Victor had cut off all means of retreat and had been fighting all the way until now. They had witnessed all his struggles and accompanied him along the way. All his hard work was worth it. He succeeded, and the company went public.
If Buddy went to seek help from Victor, and Victor could definitely save the Clement family.
Moreover, with Eden's relationship with him, Victor must help him.
Buddy knew Victor very well. With Anson around, Victor would not lose his temper.
And the relationship between the Skye family and the Clement family was not bad.
So, Anson had to agree in a low voice, "Let's go."
As he spoke, he went back to his office to get his car keys.
Buddy greeted Adonis and Lucian and turned around to look at Anson's back. Victor's smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.
Then, they arrived at the parking lot, and Anson
sat in the driver's seat.
A few bottles of mineral water were placed on the passenger seat. Anson stretched his hands to take them away, but one bottle cap was not tightened, and the water was poured on the seat.
Anson frowned. He glanced at Buddy, who was opening the car door, and said, "Buddy, the water has spilled out. Please sit behind."
"No problem!" Buddy closed the door, turned around to the backseat, and got on the car.
When Anson drove away, Buddy looked at Anson's car up and down. Today, he had switched to a different car.
Anson barely drove this one.
Suddenly, he saw a manila folder in the leather bag on the back of the driver's seat.
