Upon hearing that, Louie looked at Javion in shock. "Mr. Javion, I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.”
With smiling eyes, Javion explained, "My darling brother, Freddie Schulz, has been castrated. It will be a pity for Penny to marry him, so I'd like to marry her instead."
Louie stared at the polite-looking Javion and thought,You don't want to marry Penny. You want to use her to climb up the ranks. Once you marry Penny, you'll get to handle Cross Group on behalf of the Schulz family. When that happens, it'll be the prime of your life.
Louie could not tear his eyes off Javion.
He's cunning. For his career, he's willing to sacrifice his marriage.
Yet, cunning men like him were usually the ones who achieved the greatest.
Louie chuckled, "I don't mind you following me to Channing, and neither do I have an opinion about you wanting to marry Penny. However, I'm not sure Sir will agree with it." Javion's smile widened. "I'm planning to marry Penny before telling others about it. After the marriage, I'll personally tell my grandfather about it."
Louie nodded. "Alright then, we'll go to Channing together. I'll deal with Nathan while you deal with Penny.”
An ambitious smile appeared on Javion's gentle face. "To our success."
At the Cross Group's office in Channing.
The Smith Family and May were in the lobby of the Cross Group's office.
The new team leader of the security team, Ryan Day, stopped Sean and his family in their tracks with his men.
Ryan said, "I'm sorry, the receptionist has explained that President Smith has been very busy recently. She has notified us that she will not be meeting with any guests without a prior appointment. Please leave." Sean's family was furious as Sean huffed, "Do you know who I am? I'm her grandfather. How dare you block my way!"
As it turned out, the head of the Smith Family in Alberesque, Louie, had also arrived in Channing.
