Chapter 147
Louis‘ mysterious hazel eyes were blank. He was deep in thought and looked disheveled.
Louis and Genevieve’s eyes met and they felt an electrifying connection, seeming to sense each other’s interest and curiosity.
There was a mischievous glint in Louis’s eyes but Genevieve’s eyes were gentle and warm. She had
ly let her guard down.
She was anything but afraid. She saw through a lot of romantic relationships but still yearned for one; she only wanted someone to always be on her side.
Before this, that was out of her reach despite her having sacrificed everything.
Finally, she found Louis who gave her just that.
He was fixated on her, wanting to make a move.
However, he always lost when it came to relationships.
At the very next second, she suddenly inched close and kissed his cheek.
Her lips were moist and soft. It was sweet.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
He gave her his affection, so she gave him courage.
It was wonderful.
Louis froze and his pupils enlarged.
Right then, someone knocked on the car window, instantly disrupting the romantic atmosphere between them.
Louis lowered the window sullenly.
The man outside started saying respectfully, “Mr. Fallon, we’ve taken care of everything, and Mr. Schmidt’s also invited…”
Using the word ‘invited‘ simply sugar–coated things.
David was tied up with a black cloth bag over his head.
After he was kidnapped, the car turned several times before it stopped in the underground parking of Fallon Group.
Louis sat in the car emanating contemptuousness. He had no intentions of getting out.
David was dragged before him and crying out in pain. Then, Louis‘ bodyguard removed the black cloth bag.
Chapter 147
David took a moment to adapt to the surrounding light. Once he saw Louis, his expression changed instantly and he was furious. “It was you, Louis. How dare you hire someone to kidnap me? What do you want?”
David was proud and considered a somewhat respectable member of the upper class.
Everyone in Atharia’s business and politics had to treat him with respect, not to mention his nephew Louis.
Although Fallon Group belonged to Louis, David was also in the group for a considerably long
time.
He gradually cut his ties with Louis and married Linda. He also helped boost Louis to his current position. However, Louis grew more powerful than he could have ever anticipated, so much so that he began to feel marginalized in the company. Thus, he couldn’t sit still.
At the shareholders‘ meeting this morning, when he wanted to get Austin’s legacy stocks, he couldn’t find the will he had prepared in advance.
David could only ask his lawyers to remake another copy.
Yet, when he took out the will at the shareholders‘ meeting, Louis fished out the exact same one.
As a result, David’s forgery was exposed to all.
It quickly became chaotic.
At once, Louis forced him off the B–list, which meant David would be forced to retire.
David was furious so he sent someone to teach Louis a lesson. However, once he left Hoffman Group, he was kidnapped. He hadn’t expected that Louis was also plotting against him.
In the car, Louis rubbed his fingers and glared at David. “Whatever you intend to do to my people, Mr. Schmidt, I also intend to do to you.”
David’s
eye
twitched. “Don’t slander me. I wasn’t the one who hired a hitman to kill you.” As soon as he finished his words, his expression changed slightly.
Louis side–eyed him condescendingly and chuckled. “Since you’ve admitted it yourself, Mr. Schmidt, I’ve nothing more to say. Let’s settle it according to the rules.”
David’s face paled instantly and he immediately struggled to get up from the ground. “Louis, I’m your elder. You can’t do this to me. I just wanted to get back my son Austin’s shares. What did I do wrong?”
Louis was calm at first, but hearing David, malice instantly filled his eyes. “Your son’s shares? When did Austin become your son?”
“As we all know, his mother Linda and I’ve been married for nearly ten years. Isn’t her son my son?”
Chapter 147
David was so flustered and exasperated that he eagerly showed Louis his amulet. “If your Aunt Linda finds out about how you’re treating me now, will she forgive you?”
Louis was indifferent and there was blatant animosity in his eyes. “Fine. If you want to bring Aunt Linda into this, I don’t mind having a chat with her all about Austin’s car accident.”
David’s expression darkened. He looked at Louis in shock and his lips trembled. He was at a loss for
words.
Louis seemingly knew everything but he had never indicated that he did.
When Louis saw David like this, the former’s gaze remained cold and distant.
He endured it all silently for a long time. After the accident, he even hid in Clusia to find out who was behind it.
Yet, the foolish David was too eager and showed his hand prematurely.
