In hindsight, this really looks like a plot. In fact, the Lewis family is likely aiming to take the Williams family down!
She glared at Zeke and demanded, “Zeke, didn’t you say this was all part of someone’s plan? What’s going on? Did you know anything about it? Who on earth is targeting the Williams family?”
This sentence came as a bolt from the blue.
This series of coincidences might have been planned by someone else.
Zeke scoffed, “Heh, do you still not understand what’s going on? Do I really need to spell it out for you?”
Lucille’s gaze fell upon Conrad.
Conrad was furious. “Mrs. Williams, what do you mean by your gaze? Don’t tell me you suspect me of staging all of this?”
Lucille shook her head and responded, “No way. Mr. Lewis, you’ve misunderstood. W-What should we do now? We can’t let the fifty billion go down the drain just like that.”
Conrad replied, “Calm down. I’ll contact Winston immediately and request that he destroy the contract.”
A ray of hope lit up in the eyes of the Williams family. “Yes, please, hurry up and do so.”
The call connected almost immediately. Conrad talked for a while before he hung up.
He heaved a sigh of relief, “Winston has decided to come personally. Looks like we still have a chance.”
The entire Williams family was overjoyed.
If they voided the contract, they would be able to keep thirty percent of Reinz Pharmaceutical shares and become the Great Marshal’s business partners.
After a long time, Winston finally arrived.
All members of the Williams family rushed over to welcome him as though he was their great benefactor.
After all, he now controlled the fate of the Williams family.
Winston took a seat under the guidance of the Williams family. He did not notice Zeke, who was sitting with the servants. Otherwise, he would never have dared to take a seat at the host’s table.
After a short chit-chat, Lucille went straight to the point. She inquired, “Mr. Golf, I know it isn’t my place to ask, but why did you suddenly withdraw the three hundred billion you injected into the Atheville branch of Reinz Pharmaceutical?”
Winston shot them a false smile and replied, “Mrs. Williams, you sure are getting forgetful. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten who I am. Let me remind you then. I’m Loston Golf, a businessman who has worked with the Williams family in the past.”
Hm?
Lucille took a closer look at Winston Golf and shuddered.
She remembered this man.
He used to be a business partner of the Williams family. The Williams family HAD made Loston go bankrupt during one of their collaborations, and he had disappeared after that.
They had not expected to meet him after a few years as an executive of Reinz Pharmaceutical who could fork out three hundred billion at any moment.
She almost refused to believe that this was the same man the Williams family had taken advantage of back then.
Lucille stuttered, “S-So... this is all part of your plan to take revenge on the Williams family?”
Winston smiled wryly. “What do you think?”
Lucille felt like killing herself. Looks like the fifty billion we threw into the Atheville branch really is going to go down the drain.
Conrad glanced at Winston and then at Lucille. It finally dawned upon him what had happened.
He tried to reconcile the two parties and suggested, “I didn’t know Mr. Golf knew the Williams family in the past or about your conflict. Let’s do it this way. Mr. Golf, can’t you let the Williams family off on my account? I’ll pay for all your losses back then, alright?”
