“Um…” William hesitated. After all, he wanted to get it over with and leave as soon as he could. This was not a place to linger.
However, Fredric held him by the shoulders and asked him to sit on the couch. He also retrieved a full set of quality tea from the kitchen.
A while later, the tea aroma drifted into the room and smelled reinvigorating.
“This is a kind of black tea that the Hamerton Group always purchases. It’s expensive because production isn’t much each year. Other than supplying to the Hamerton Group, only certain royal members get to drink it in the world.”
Fredric observed William’s expression in secret. He knew it. Someone who was greedy in nature would not give up on any benefit, even when they were at risk.
Just like the tea before them.
William contemplated and picked up the teacup in front of him with a smile. While he drank, his eyes flitted around like he was a thief.
Fredric scoffed. Birds of a feather seemed to flock together. William was acting like Marcus now that he had spent so long with the latter.
Fredric chuckled. “Mr. Jenner, saw anything you like?”
“N-No.”
“It’s not easy to come here. What’s the point of you leaving with only a box?” Fredric asked purposely. “I heard Mr. Yale say that even if the box is brought back and turned into cash, you’ll get 20% of profit at most!”
“What?” William froze. “He… He really said that?”
Fredric tugged his tie leisurely and smirked. “We’re all on the same boat. There’s no need for me to lie to you.”
Confusion clouded William’s eyes as he clenched his fists.
Fredric said in a hushed voice, “Right, Mr. Jenner, you don’t know where Yelena’s at, right? Yale’s locked her up in the ranch behind the manor!”
“The…” William’s eyes bulged before he spat harshly after a moment, “The useless girl!”
Fredric was taken aback and squinted at the man.
