Chapter 154 Adding Insult to Injury
Caspian’s act of barging into the Embassy of Tigra to capture Zachary in the past had caused both countries to be on bad terms.
Many protests arose from Tigra over this violation, but they did not dare wage war with Diatoran. For this reason, they chose to start a business war instead. They then deployed their
elite teams here.
Tigra only had one goal, and it was to tear up Diatoran from the inside.
Someone from Glorious Group had contacted Carl from Stewart Group.
They had proposed a lucrative offer in hopes of cooperating with them.
This matter had gotten the attention of the entire Stewart family.
Marilyn immediately called for a meeting.
“What are everyone’s thoughts on the cooperation with Glorious Group?” Marilyn asked.
“There’s no need to think about it. I’m all for it. That company had already caused a stir in the business world when they’d only been in Southlake City for a short while.
“Many companies had terminated their contracts with Southlake Corporation and approached Glorious Group. Their profit margin is the highest in town!” Donald said, unable to contain his excitement.
It would be a really great opportunity for Stewart Group if they could work together with Glorious Group.
“Terminate all cooperations with Southlake Corporation right away, even if it means we have to pay for the breach of contract. This is our chance!” Marilyn said.
“Mom, will this be fine? It was us who begged Willow for a project in the beginning. Now you’re saying we should just end it…” Carl said, in a dilemma.
“Carl, what is business all about? The maximization of profits. Now that this grand.
opportunity is lying right in front of us, we ought to grab onto it!” Donald said.
“Yes, I’m sure the conditions offered by Glorious Group are tempting, but just think about it.
“Compared to the long–established Southlake Corporation, Glorious Group’s just started out. There’s just too much uncertainty at this point!” Carl argued.
“That’s enough. I’ve already made my decision. End the cooperation with Southlake.
Corporation. I’ll personally contact Willow about this,” Marilyn said. She had already made up
her mind.

At the same time, she planned to organize a family dinner and invite both Willow and Caspian over. She wanted to let them know about this matter.
At Southlake Corporation, Willow was drowning in company matters when she received at phone call from her father.
“Willow, there’s a family dinner tonight. Your grandmother would like you to come back for a visit. She has something to tell you,” Carl said.
“Dad, can we just discuss it on the phone? I’m really busy,” Willow said,
“This is a really big matter. I think you should come back. Bring Caspian along,” he said.
He did not know how to tell her that the family wanted to end their cooperation with Southlake Corporation.
Willow gave Caspian a call.
“What’s the matter, Willow?”
Caspian was currently at the hospital.
Avon was helping him treat his gun wound.
“There’s a family dinner at Stewart Residence tonight. My grandmother told me to bring you,
“Willow said.
“Sure. I’ll pick you up after work,” Caspian said.
He agreed to go as he did not have any urgent matters to attend to. Dealing with Glorious Group was not something that could be resolved overnight as well.
Caspian hung up the phone.
“Caspian, your leg’s fine. Don’t do strenuous activities. Remember to apply medicine on time, and you should be able to recover in a few days,” Avon said.
“Got it.” Caspian nodded his head.
During this period of time, Lana and Elias also had their injuries treated by Avon. The two had almost fully recovered..
Both of them were really grateful to Caspian.
“I got shot and received my treatment here. What brought you here?” Caspian was also surprised to find Joey there.
