Drake’s smile deepened. “It doesn’t matter who i am. What matters is that I can help both you and the Wilks Group
“I asked, why should I trust you?” Pedro repeated.
“I can invest 10,000,000 dollars into the Wilkie Group right now, no strings attached,” Drake said, pilling out his phone ad making a call. “Transfer 10,000,000 to the Wilkie Group immediately.”
Not even 20 seconds after ending the call, Pedro’s phone rang
“Grandpa, someone just transferred 10,000,000 dollars into the Wilkie Group’s account!” Theo exienet
Pedro’s expression shifted, his voice steady yet wary. “Do not touch that money. Wait for my instractions.”
“Understood,” Theo replied,
Hanging up the phone, Pedro glanced at Drake, “Come inside. We’ll talk.”
Inside the study, Pedro closed the door and turned to face Drake. “I believe you’re capable of helping me deal with Damon. But I need to know why are you going after him? Otherwise, I can’t trust you.”
If this man were a plant sent by Damon to trap him, cooperating would put the Wilkie Group in jeopardy.
Drake took a sip of coffee and smiled. “You don’t need to worry. I’m not one of Damon’s people. I’m the vice CEO of MK Company. My goal is to see Prospectus Technology go bankrupt. Here’s my card.”
Pedro took the card, glanced at it briefly, and set it on the table.
He was familiar with MK–a large enterprise based in Meristate.
Looking back at Drake, he asked, “If I’m not mistaken, MK doesn’t usually collaborate with domestic firms. Why are you targeting Damon?”
“I have my reasons, but it’s not something I can share with you. All you need to know is that I’ll help you deal with Darnon,” Drake replied.
Pedro chuckled. “Then I’m afraid we can’t work together.”
Partnering with local firms to deal with Prospectus Technology was one thing–they were known entities.
Drake, however, was a stranger with unclear motives. Blindly trusting him could put the Wilkie Group in even greater danger
Drake squinted. “I suggest you reconsider. It won’t take much effort for me to destroy the Wilkie Group”
Pedro’s gaze hardened. “If it’s so easy, why do you need our help at all?”
“I dislike getting directly involved. I’d prefer the Wilkie Group to act as my tool. But it you’re unwilling, I assure you, the Wilkie Group won’t last much longer.” Standing up, Drake added, “Think it over. Let me know when you’ve made up your mind ”
Hearing the veiled threat, Pedro turned livid.
Glaring at Drake’s retreating figure, he said coldly, “There’s no need to think about it. I despise threats. We won’t be working together.”
Drake turned back with a smile, “You’ll change your mind. Mr. Willde”
As he left the Wilkie residence, Drake told the driver, “Head back to the hotel
After Drake left, Pedro soon received a call from Theo “Grandpa, our company’s firewall is under attack! Th
