Wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses, Lamont had arrived in West- Hill cafe and was scrolling through his phone while waiting for Archer Around ten minutes later, he heard footsteps coming his way as Archer entered the coffee shop through the front door.
Then, Lamont stood up to greet him, "Mr.Saunders!"
Archer gestured for him to sit before asking, "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"
Next, Lamont nodded, "Yes, I wanted to ask a quick favor from you.It ‘s about Miss Valeria Brown."
"Valeria? Do you mean Natalie's daughter?"
A mysterious expression flashed across Archer's face a while before disappearing.
"What about her?"
"Valeria came to me for help when she heard that Ronald was preparing to transfer his funds.As you know, I'm not too knowledgeable about business issues, so I thought I'd ask you.Valeria is just a helpless young child, surely you have some idea to help her, right?"
Lamont explained.
After that, Archer frowned, "Wait, my father-in-law is involved in this? Why is he siding with Ronald against Valeria?"
"I don't understand either, could Hayden have left the issue only to settle the score later on?" Lamont guessed.
At that, Archer shook his head, "I don't think so.The reason he hasn't been diving into this matter is probably that I agreed to his terms, which means that he would've come to a conclusion regarding it.Valeria should have nothing to do with this, and he would have no reason to go against her.There must be some other reason that we don't know yet."
"Let's ignore the fact that Hayden and Ronald are colluding for now.Do you have any ideas on how we could stop Ronald's plans?"
"It might be tough, but it's possible,"
Archer answered after a slight pause.
"You should order a fake Brownard Group stamp and find a way to switch it with the real one.In this case, the stamp on the contract would be fake, thus the contract would not be legally binding.After that, all Valeria needs to do is to wait for Ronald to slip up before dealing with him directly."
Then, Lamont's face brightened up at Archer's suggestion, "Why didn‘t I come up with this idea? I'llinform Valeria about it right now."
As soon as Lamont finished speaking, he immediately picked up his phone to call Valeria.
Meanwhile, Valeria had just parked her car when her phone rang, and she picked it up before answering, "Hello? Who's on the line?"
"Hello Miss, it's Lamont! I've thought of a method that you could use to stop Ronald's plans!"
"What should I do?" Valeria asked.
"You should switch out the official stamp..."
"Oh, I've done that” Valeria replied with a flat voice.
"What? You've already changed the stamp? When did you have the time to do so?" Lamont asked, thinking that he had misheard Valeria ‘s answer.
"Just now" Valeria replied, "Besides changing the company stamp, I also ordered Richard to freeze all of the company’s assets.With this, my father can't carry out any of his plans now’
Lamont had been talking to Valeria while in speaker mode, and Archer, who had been sitting across the table the whole time heard their conversation clearly, was shocked yet impressed with her quick thinking.
On the other hand, Lamont himself was also extremely surprised at how fast Valeria had taken action against Ronald.
"Miss, what's the next step of your plan? Do you need my help?"
"I've actually decided to find someone else to take over the company .l even have a candidate in mind, and that's Braelynn, who Lucian recommended to me.But I haven't decided what to do after the takeover though," Valeria replied as she reached out to open her car door.
"Well anyway, I'm meeting my friends soon, we'll talk later" Hence, Lamont couldn't believe his ears as he hung up the phone.
"Well well, who would've thought that Valeria was so smart? I thought she was just an innocent and clueless child."
"She must have inherited Natalie's intellect.People like them normally want to lead simple and peaceful lives without complicating things, but once they've been put in tough situations, they would resort to any necessary means to get themselves out of danger" Archer replied.
Then, Lamont stole a glance at Archer.
Indeed, Valeria appeared to have inherited Natalie's intelligence, but what about Archer's aptitude for business? Valeria would be proclaimed as the next genius in the business industry if she had really inherited both of their strengths.
