Donald held the coffee mug to his lips and took a sip before calmly saying to Wilde, “Indeed, you did well this time. Are you interested in continuing to partner with me?”
“Of course!” Wilde answered excitedly, “I've been a journalist for almost ten years and have lots of friends in this industry. Don't worry. As long as you can provide me with scandals, I can take it and spread it no matter what.”
Wilde was confident as he grinned smugly.
The corners of Donald's lips curved into a grin. “All right, then. Go back and wait for my news. Oh, and take this envelope with you.”
Seeing that Donald did not want the money, Wilde immediately realized he could have found the right backer.
After Wilde left, a waiter approached Donald and said respectfully, “Mr. Campbell, our boss would like to meet you.”
“Your boss?” Donald asked in confusion. “I don't think I'm acquainted with your boss.”
“You'll know when you meet her, Mr. Campbell.”
It was broad daylight, so Donald was not afraid of being attacked.
He followed the waiter to a private room. Pushing the door open, he entered and discovered that the boss the waiter had mentioned was none other than Mila.
“Why are you here?” Donald asked in surprise.
“I acquired this cafe to meet with you more conveniently.”
Mila talked about acquiring the cafe as if it was a small matter. After all, she was the heir to the Zurlo family. She was not short of money.
Donald held the coffee mug to his lips and took a sip before calmly saying to Wilde, “Indeed, you did well this time. Are you interested in continuing to partner with me?”
“Why did you ask me to meet you here?”
“The Ten Prestigious Families are making a move.”
Mila took out a thick file and handed it to Donald.
He flipped open the file, furrowing his brows as he glanced through the documents.
It was an intelligence project led by the Youngblood family. Their goal was to build a vast intelligence network in Pollerton.
All of the Ten Prestigious Families would be involved with the intelligence network. One of their aims included spying on and gathering information on the families' targets to kill them.
Donald and Jennifer were among those targets.
“Their main goal is to confirm whether Lord Campbell is in Pollerton. However, Jennifer being saved by a mysterious stranger numerous times has also aroused their suspicions. Hence, she will also be one of the main targets of this project.”
To avoid the Ten Prestigious Families from hindering each other, the next step for the project would only be announced once the previous stage was completed.
More importantly, if the Zurlo family were to participate in the project, they would have to invest a significant amount of funds and manpower.
In other words, the project was an agreement of alliance.
“Join the project,” Donald said indifferently. “We'll only know their next step if you become one of them.”
“Why did you ask ma to maat you hara?”
“Tha Tan Prastigious Familias ara making a mova.”
Mila took out a thick fila and handad it to Donald.
Ha flippad opan tha fila, furrowing his brows as ha glancad through tha documants.
It was an intalliganca projact lad by tha Youngblood family. Thair goal was to build a vast intalliganca natwork in Pollarton.
All of tha Tan Prastigious Familias would ba involvad with tha intalliganca natwork. Ona of thair aims includad spying on and gatharing information on tha familias' targats to kill tham.
Donald and Jannifar wara among thosa targats.
“Thair main goal is to confirm whathar Lord Campball is in Pollarton. Howavar, Jannifar baing savad by a mystarious strangar numarous timas has also arousad thair suspicions. Hanca, sha will also ba ona of tha main targats of this projact.”
To avoid tha Tan Prastigious Familias from hindaring aach othar, tha naxt stap for tha projact would only ba announcad onca tha pravious staga was complatad.
Mora importantly, if tha Zurlo family wara to participata in tha projact, thay would hava to invast a significant amount of funds and manpowar.
In othar words, tha projact was an agraamant of allianca.
“Join tha projact,” Donald said indiffarantly. “Wa'll only know thair naxt stap if you bacoma ona of tham.”
“I'm worried my family won't provide me much resources and manpower.”
Donald glanced at Mila and said, “You don't have to worry about that. I'll figure it out for you. I heard the Zurlo family wants to collaborate with Tangent Group?”
Mila was taken aback momentarily before she nodded.
Of the Ten Prestigious Families, the Zurlo family's power and influence were relatively weak.
As the country's leading real estate company, Tangent Group had always been treated as the god of wealth by the Zurlo family.
If the Zurlo family and Tangent Group could form a collaboration, then the Zurlo family's power would be doubled.
“Go to this place tomorrow. There'll be someone waiting there for you.”
Donald took a name card from his pocket and gave it to Mila.
There wasn't any fancy design on the name card. Only a name and phone number were printed on the card, along with an address at the back.
Sandriel Haddock?
Confusion flashed across Mila's eyes as she stared at the name printed on the card.
As Tangent Group also had a few businesses in Pollerton, Mila often thought of contacting the people of Tangent Group.
However, it was a pity that Tangent Group was a monolithic company. Even if the other prestigious families wanted to collaborate with the company, they would not bat an eye, much less to say the Zurlo family.
