Wayne seemed to be filled with alarm. The Brown family gave everything to Baron for free! It was so incredible that Wayne couldn’t say anything!
Even Baron was a little surprised. He knew the Brown family would obey him after the ordeal, but he never expected that Kris would give him everything!
“You must be mistaken, Mr. Brown! He is the one who threw you in jail! How could you do that?” Wayne stared at him, uncomprehending.
The Porter family had set about taking over the business of the Brown family as soon as their owners were sent in jail!
By great effort, the Porter family finally had some success. One of the companies under the Brown family had agreed to work with them.
But it turned out that all his work was in vain. Kris gave the businesses to Baron for free! In that case, the Porter family wouldn’t even get a chance to cooperate with them, not to mention taking over them.
The Brown family, one of the top 4 families in Cona, belonged to Baron now. It was easy to imagine that Baron’s wealth and position would be unchallenged in Cona.
It also meant that there would be no place for the Porter family anywhere in Cona. They spent much time and energy accessing to Cona’s markets. Apparently, they would suffer heavy losses.
Kris kept a straight face and said to Wayne grimly, “Don’t talk to me like that! Even your grandpa William has no right to tell me what to do, let alone you jerk!”
At these words, Wayne was beginning to feel frightened again. He could not help quivering with terror.
Kris ignored him and turned to Baron, said, “There is one more thing, Mr. Owen. I just got a call from the hospital. My grandson Hudson...he’s dead. The bastard got what he deserved! He kidnapped your daughter, so I told the hospital not to treat him.”
When Wayne heard the news, his eyes were wide with terror and he was shaking. Kris sacrificed his grandson to flatter Baron!
Wayne looked carefully at Baron in front of him. This guy controlled the Brown family’s destiny easily. He could throw them in jail, but also could let them out. How did he do that easily?
When Wayne thought about it, he felt temporarily limp with shock. He fell to his knees and begged, “I am wrong! I am wrong, Mr. Owen! I am mad to say that to you! But what I said has got nothing to do with the Porter family! Please let them off the hook!”
Wayne regretted his harsh words to Baron, but it was too late. Baron would never forgive him. So, he only hoped that Baron would not be angry with the Porter family. He knew exactly that it was simple for Baron to take down the Porter family.
When Wayne was repenting of his sin from his heart, his phone rang. It was William! Wayne was too frightened to answer it.
“What’s wrong? Why don’t you answer your grandpa’s call?” Baron said, with a big smile. “Put him on speaker. Let’s listen to a bit of what he told you.”
Wayne dared not refuse. He put William on speakerphone at Baron’s bidding.
“How is that going so far, Wayne? Did the bastard return the shares? It doesn’t matter if he says no. But in that case, I will send someone to kill him.” William’s cruel voice came from the other end of the phone loudly.
