A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

Gary waited until dusk, staying until nearly everyone at Brennan Group had left for the day.

Some time later, he looked at Ralph with an awkward smile on his face. “Do you know if Mr. Brennan has finished his meetings for the day?”

Ralph stood up and checked his watch. Good grief, it was nearly 8:00 pm now.

“Just a moment. I’ll check.”

Gary watched as Ralph walked into Silas‘ office, then emerged again. “Mr. Reid, Mr. Brennan just finished his meetings. You can go in now.”

Though Gary knew full well this was simply Silas‘ way of making things difficult for him, he didn’t show a hint of complaint. “Thank you. I appreciate it.”

Silas had just finished signing the last document when Gary walked in.

“Mr. Brennan, sorry to bother you today.”

Silas‘ expression remained indifferent. “Mr. Reid, my apologies. I was truly swamped today. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

He said the words, but there wasn’t a trace of actual apology in his eyes.

“My assistant said you needed to see me urgently. What can I do for you?” Silas asked unhurriedly.

Gary smiled lightly. “I should be the one apologizing for disturbing you today. Silas, hear me out. I’ve had my eye on that land in the East District for a while now, but I heard you acquired it.”

“Oh, that place?” Silas drawled. “That land is quite important to Brennan Group. We’re planning to build a resort there soon. What? Did you want it too, Mr. Reid?

“Well, I’m afraid I can’t help you there.”

Silas‘ cold words left no room for negotiation.

But Gary knew Silas had no actual plans for that land. This sudden move had to be targeted at him. There was no other explanation for it.

More importantly, Gary might only lose one piece of land right now. But if Silas continued targeting him, the losses would be far more than just one parcel.

“Silas, my wife was confused yesterday. She and Beth have had some small disagreements lately. I told her to smooth things over with Beth, but she ended up making things worse…

“I’ll make sure she apologizes to Beth properly. Even if she’s Beth’s mother, she has no right to hit her.”

Gary spoke with such righteous indignation, but to Silas, it only sounded ridiculous.

“Mr. Reid, I thought you came to discuss business today. But since you brought this up, let me have a word with you about it.” Silas slowly twirled the pen in his hand. “Normally, I shouldn’t get involved in matters between my wife and her mother. “But the first time, my wife was locked in your attic, and her mother only blamed her. The second time, her mother went to the nursing home to harass my wife’s grandmother and nearly caused the elderly woman to have an episode.

“The third time, she went to my wife’s workplace, and using her authority as an elder, slapped her across the face.” Silas‘ gaze darkened. “If it were your wife being harassed three times, Mr. Reid, what would you do?

“I’m not even asking for an apology for my wife anymore. I just hope that from now on, your wife will act as if she never had this daughter. Since she doesn’t cherish her anyway, I’ll be the one to cherish Bethany from now on.”

Having said his piece, Silas raised his wrist to check his watch. “Alright, then. I have a dinner engagement to get to soon, so I won’t keep you any longer, Mr. Reid.”

Gary’s heart sank in his chest. There was clearly no room for negotiation. Thus, he returned home looking dejected.
