Chapter 1005 Merrick’s Power
“Is that so?” Merrick sneered. “I’m pretty sure the Sorens knew Lilian was my granddaughter.

But you still thought you could threaten her. That tells me you don’t give a damn about the Philips family. Besides, Robert just said he was going to make Skyreach Group disappear. You didn’t forget that already, did you?”
Robert finally pulled himself together and looked at Merrick. “So you’re saying you killed our partnership just to get back at us for your granddaughter?”
Robert had heard rumors about Lilian being a Philips, but he didn’t buy it. She’d been gone for over ten years. He figured there was no real bond there and that Merrick wouldn’t hurt his own wallet for her. He was dead wrong.
“Obviously,” Merrick said. “Someone is bullying my granddaughter right in front of me. If I didn’t do something, I wouldn’t be much of a grandfather.”
Robert stared him down. “And you’re willing to lose money over it? You know as well as I do that cutting ties with the Soren Group hurts both of us. You’re the Chairman. Aren’t you worried your board is going to have a problem with this?”
Merrick laughed in his face. “That loss is nothing compared to my granddaughter. I’d put the whole company on the line for her. So, Robert, if you really want to see Skyreach disappear, let’s see who actually goes down first.”
The two old men glared at each other, and the whole room went dead silent.
While they were staring each other down, a group of cops in uniform walked in. The guy in charge looked around. “Which one of you is Rowan?”
Everyone stopped and looked at Rowan.
Rowan looked confused. “That’s me. What’s this about?”
“We got a report,” the officer said. “Mr. Rowan, you’re being accused of intimidation and defamation. You need to come with us for questioning.”
“What?” Rowan yelled. “Who reported me? I want to see them.”
“I did.”
A deep voice cut through the room. A man in a black suit walked in with his hands in his pockets, looking cold as hell. A bunch of guys in business suits followed him in.
The room started buzzing immediately.
“I can’t believe the head of Empire Group showed up. The Sorens are finished.”
“Rowan was just running his mouth, telling her to go ahead and sue. Well, someone actually did it. This is going to be a hell of a lawsuit.”
