My Formidable Husband novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Trouble
By then, Caleb had already heard about what happened with Centurion Corporation.
“Mr. Cordrington!” Caleb said when he answered the phone.
“Mr. Larson, I would like to check something with you. Do you know if Mr. Synder was secretly helping Christopher?” Harold asked softly.
“That’s not possible. Mr. Synder and Christopher were barely acquainted with each other. In fact, Mr. Synder told me that himself. Besides, Mr. Synder was probably transferred to deal with some confidential matters. There’s no way he would be involved in this. You don’t have to worry about it,” Caleb replied smilingly.
“All right. Thanks for the information, Mr. Larson!”
Harold heaved a sigh of relief after hanging up. As long as that mysterious secretary isn’t helping Christopher, there’s still a chance for us to turn the situation around!
In the meantime, Jared was still waiting outside the venue. Just then, his dad called, and he picked up the phone very quickly.
“Jared, what’s the situation over at your side? When Mr. Davis comes out, find an opportunity to tell him that I’ll host a dinner for him tonight,” Harold reminded.
“Dad, don’t worry. I know what to do. Oh, Christopher has just left. I think Mr. Davis would be out soon…”
While Jared spoke, he saw Christopher walking out with Julianna and Frank. Christopher was all smiles, holding the signed contract in his hand.
Jared could feel anger rippling through him when he spotted Christopher. The contract was supposed to go to Cordrington Corporation. However, Christopher’s appearance ruined it all, causing huge losses for the company.
Not only had they thrown three million down the drain, but the company’s stock had also fallen to the limit, and it was likely that the situation would remain the same for at least a few more days.
It’s all Christopher’s fault!
At the same time, Frank was feeling extremely emotional. He could not believe that his status had been instantly elevated. When he glanced over at Fabian, he recalled the episode earlier when he was being mocked by his brother. At that thought, he said at once, “Fabian, how do you feel now?”
“Hmph! Don’t be too smug!” Fabian was feeling rather indignant and could not believe that Frank had trumped him once again.
Meanwhile, Jared strode over to Christopher and said coldly, “Christopher, you shouldn’t be too happy yet. Mr. Davis is my man. Since you’re collaborating with Centurion Corporation, you’ll have to listen to Mr. Davis, which means you’ll have to listen to me. Do you still feel the same after knowing that?”
Jared had a confident smile spread across his face as if he was the one who had won the contract.
I’ll show you who’s the boss! Even though you’ve been given the opportunity to work with Centurion Corporation, you’ll still have to listen to me!
Fabian and Fabio both felt better after hearing Jared’s words as what he said did make sense. Although Christopher had gotten the contract, that did not mean anything as he still had to listen to Jared.
“Frank, how do you feel after hearing that? Jared is right. You and your son-in-law are both trash, and it will forever remain that way,” Fabian said contemptuously.
After hearing what Jared said and seeing how confident Fabian was, Frank started having doubts once again.
After all, he was well aware that Christopher was merely a retired soldier and was basically a nobody. He had assumed that his son-in-law had won the contract by pure luck.
However, Christopher remained unfazed and smiled faintly before extending his arm to straighten out Jared’s tie. Noticing that, Jared immediately exclaimed, “What are you trying to do?”
“Mr. Cordrington, relax. I’m just trying to help you straighten out your tie. A boss like you should look smart at all times. Oh! Did you hear that?” According to Christopher’s rough estimation, Amanda should have already informed the police and the sirens of the police cars should be sounding soon.
Daniel would also be arrested by the police upon their arrival.
As for the threats Jared made earlier on, they would obviously be just bullsh*t.
“What the fu*k am I supposed to be hearing? Did my words frighten you so much that you’ve become an idiot…” Jared started cursing Christopher as he did not hear any sounds. However, he was suddenly interrupted by police sirens that had just sounded from a distance away.
The man could feel a shiver run down his spine as a sense of unease arose within him.
Christopher would not have asked him to pay attention to police sirens for no reason. Besides, Jared had not forgotten the fact that he had bribed Daniel with three million.
Has the police already found out about it?
Jared could feel his breath quicken. He knew that he would be in deep trouble if his deeds were exposed.
A moment later, Jared, Fabian and the others saw the police dragging Daniel out of the event venue, leaving a trail of blood behind. The man, who was being handcuffed, was still unconscious.
