Chapter 920
“Whoa, whoa!” Brandon exclaimed, taking a step back. “Mr. Larson, what happened? Why is he in such a rush?”
Trevor glared at Brandon as he replied, “You still have the audacity to ask me that?”
Shocked by the man’s outburst, Brandon asked immediately, “What exactly is going on?”
Trevor let out a cold snort and replied, “Do you know that because you asked me to stand Vinson up, he approached Luke instead?”
“Luke Yeager? Mr. Nightshire actually approached him just because you postponed the lunch meeting to dinner instead?” Brandon was shocked to hear that as well and broke out in a cold sweat.
If that’s the case, does that mean Mr. Nightshire is going against Greene Corporation?
Trevor was extremely vexed. He paced around Brandon for a few minutes before coming to a decision. “I’m heading to Zaprington Restaurant right now to apologize to Mr. Nightshire.”
“No! You can’t do that! If you do that, our plan will be foiled!” Brandon blurted out those words in a panic.
“Our plan?” Trevor narrowed his eyes. “What plan? Didn’t you say that we were just going to establish our dominance so that Vinson would not look down on the Greenes?”
Brandon’s throat tightened. He knew he had revealed too much. He tried to cover up immediately by replying, “Exactly! The plan was to show our power so that Ms. Greene would not be bullied after marrying into the Nightshire family.”
However, Trevor was no fool. He shot an angry glance toward the man and bellowed, “Don’t you dare lie to me! If you don’t tell me the truth right now, I‘ll look for Vinson immediately and tell him that it was you who asked me to postpone our lunch meeting.”
The corners of Brandon’s mouth twitched as he tried to think of a reply. However, before he could come up with another lie, two of Trevor’s strong-built bodyguards were seen approaching them.
“M-Mr. Larson, what are you trying to do?”
“I’ll give you one last chance to tell me the truth. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Brandon was still trying to remain silent, not convinced that Trevor would really disregard the Greenes and take action against him. However, Brandon’s assistant could no longer withstand the stress and said, “Mr. Larson, I’ll tell you everything!”
“You…”
Brandon wanted to stop his assistant from doing so, but he was too late, as the man had already started speaking.
“In truth, Mr. Nightshire has no feelings for Ms. Greene and a third party has come in between them. Mr. Nightshire is madly in love with the other woman and is not keen on marrying Ms. Greene. As such, Mrs. Greene has ordered us to give Mr. Nightshire a little push so that he’ll marry Ms. Greene. Mr. Larson, this is really all I know. Please let me go.”
Brandon shut his eyes in despair, cursing his assistant silently.
Enraged, Trevor roared, “How dare you lie to me?”
Brandon could feel his legs weaken. He quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to lie to you. It’s a fact that Vinson will marry Ms. Greene sooner or later no matter what!”
“Nonsense!” Trevor was so furious that he was stomping his feet. “F*ck all of you! You’ve gotten me into serious trouble this time! How dare you lie to me and cause me to offend Vinson? Such idiots! Even though the Greene family is the most powerful family in Horington, the rest of Chanaea barely know them!”
Taking a deep breath after recomposing himself, Brandon walked up to Trevor and said, “Mr. Larson, Ms. Greene’s marriage into the Nightshire family does not only concern the Greenes. If the Greene family strikes it rich, you will benefit from it as well. By then, you’ll be able to walk all over Luke.”
Gritting his teeth, Trevor replied, “You still have the nerves to say that? If not for you, would I have offended
Vinson? Would Vinson have approached Luke?”
Squinting his eyes, Trevor replied coldly, “Are you threatening me right now?”
