Chapter 88 Murder
Beck panicked all of a sudden because he had no choice at all. He would either be forced to go bankrupt or be sued in court, and he couldn’t afford any of these consequences.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, “Okay, I agree.”
Alston laughed in satisfaction and hung up the phone.
A lawyer smiled and took out a share transfer contract. Beck took it over gloomily and found Cynthia had already signed her name.
Cynthia was his daughter, but now she was in cahoots with Alston.
However, it was useless to be angry because he had no other choice.
Beck felt like he was ten years older, as if the contract had sucked up his energy after he signed it
tremblingly.
However, he could still be in charge of the Miller Group with his remaining 30% and Cherry’s 20% of shares. It
would be a disaster if Cherry lost her 20% as well.
After he signed the contract, the lawyers took it back rapidly as if they were afraid that he would break his promise. And then, they nodded to him and smiled, and left the conference room immediately.
Beck and several managers sat in a daze.
When Beck came back to his senses, his hands were trembling, and he was shocked and angry. Alston had planned for everything. He prepared the contract and waited for him to bite the bait.
As soon as the lawyers left, Beck received a call. He looked down numbly and saw it was from Clare.
Beck smiled sarcastically. He had made many phone calls before, but Beck didn’t answer them. And now,
since the lawyers had left, he called back in perfect timing.
However, Beck had no right to be angry. Nobody else was willing to cooperate with the Miller Group, so he had to bear with Clare. After the Miller Group became stronger, he would never spare those who had harmed
him and looked down upon him.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Beck’s eyes, yet he still picked up the call with a fake smile. “Hello, Mr.
Smith!”
There wasn’t the slightest guilt or apology in Clare’s voice. “I didn’t check my phone just now. What’s the
matter?
Beck’s eyes darkened. The whole city knew the lawyers of the Smith Group had left the Miller Group’s
building. It was impossible that Clare knew nothing about it.
But Beck didn’t say anything. He chuckled. “Nothing. It’s been resolved.”
“That’s good!” Clare said in relief and continued, “By the way, take Cherry to visit Ivan in a few days and tell him about the engagement.”
Beck tightened his fingers suddenly. Clare’s tone was arrogant and careless, as if nothing had ever happened. Beck held back his desire to smash his phone, took a few deep breaths, and said calmly, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Beck’s face was cloudy and uncertain, which scared the manager away.
Beck got up and saw himself reflected in a glass door. He was wearing a wrinkled suit, and his beard was messy. He didn’t want to stay in the company any longer, so he drove back home.
As soon as he entered the door, Jane rushed over and grabbed his collar anxiously. “How was it? Did you pay
the default?”
Beck was already furious and even more irritable when he saw her crazy look. He reached out and pushed
Jane aside.
“Where is Cherry? I want to see her.” Beck looked unhappy and looked upstairs, but there was only silence.
Jane’s eyes were full of resentment, but thinking that she could only rely on Beck now, she didn’t say anything harsh. “Cherry went to an art exhibition with her friends.”
