The rest of the crowd revealed looks of jealousy.
The Cross Group was worth a hundred billion now.
20 percent of the shares meant 20 billion.
They were all remorseful. If they had been any quicker, the 20 billion would have been theirs.
Louie was more than excited; he was eager to return and gather his men to head to Channing right away.
However, Schulz stopped him. "Hold on.”
Louie asked respectfully, "Sir, is there something else?"
Schulz put his cup on the side table and uttered, "Nathan hurt my precious grandson and castrated him. It would be difficult for him to look for a wife now."
Louie frowned, not quite understanding what Schulz meant.
However, he was not in a hurry to ask because he knew Schulz would explain.
Indeed, after a moment, Schulz continued, "I heard Penny Smith of Cross Group is a beautiful, elegant, and capable woman. Once Nathan is dead, she can be married to my grandson."
The crowd gasped.
He's vicious!
He's asking Louie to kill Nathan and force the widowed Penny to marry Freddie...
In other words, he's asking Louie to kill a man, take his wife, and beat up his children!
Moreover, not only will the Schulz family exact their revenge, but they will also legally get the Cross Group once Freddie married Penny. It was killing two birds with one stone.
The older the man, the wiser he was. That was how cunning Schulz was.
Stunned, Louie looked at Schulz, who was calmly seated. Finally, he returned to his senses.
With another firm nod, he reassured, "Sir, I know what to do."
Louie came out of the Schulz family's estate and was about to enter his car when a young man with his men following behind him came toward him in a rush.
