Larry deliberately stayed until the end of the meeting.
Eric had already returned to his office.
Everyone who came out of the conference room had already left that floor.
When Larry came out, no one else was there.
Only Mitchell was waiting conscientiously.
Seeing Larry, Mitchell smiled politely and said, “Mr. Yeager, it’s a great honor that you came to attend this meeting in person.”
The corners of Larry’s mouth twitched.
“What else can I do? You guys bullied my daughter, and she didn’t dare to leave the house, so I ought to come. Where’s Mr. Ferguson? If he’s free, I’d like to talk to him.”
Mitchell smiled. “Of course. Mr. Ferguson knew that you wanted to speak to him, so he deliberately postponed his schedule and waited for you.”
Larry snorted coldly and went straight to Eric’s office.
Mitchell came in with two cups of coffee afterward.
At that time, the air in Eric’s office was condensed and stagnant.
Larry sat across from Eric with a cold and gloomy expression.
However, Eric’s complexion was as per usual — stern, indifferent, and unenthusiastic.
Seeing Eric like this made Larry even angrier.
However, Larry also knew that his purpose in coming here was not to make trouble.
The Yeager family was not strong enough to go against the Fergusons, but what Eric did really embarrassed the Yeager family.
The rumors and gossip in the circle had already reached Larry’s ears. It was also obvious how restless Cindy was at this moment.
Mitchell took the coffee and put it in front of Larry, but he did not leave immediately.
Larry glanced at Mitchell and did not speak.
Instead, Eric spoke in a deep voice, “The case has been handed over to the police. If Ms. Yeager is wrongly accused, I will naturally make a public apology. If not, then there’s nothing to blame. Since she did this, she has to bear the consequences. Mr. Yeager, you should understand this very well.”
Larry took a deep breath.
His face became darker.
“Mr. Ferguson, I thought we have reached a tacit understanding. Isn’t the purpose of this cooperation to further the relationship between you and Cindy? Was I thinking too much?”
The room fell silent for a while.
Mitchell looked at Eric.
Eric glanced out of the window silently with a calm and indifferent expression.
“No, I just didn’t want to continue this relationship halfway through. Ms. Yeager is indeed outstanding, but she doesn’t have the right intentions. I won’t use my son to please women. To put it bluntly, I only want a marriage partner, not a lover who will get bitter or jealous. If she can’t even accept this, then there’s no need to continue the cooperation. She didn’t pass my test, so you don’t have to question me.”
For a moment, there was a stalemate between them.
Larry clenched his teeth. His eyes were a little cold as he stared at Eric with hostility.
“That’s a high-sounding reason. Now, everyone in the circle is questioning my family’s reputation. Although you don’t like my daughter, you shouldn’t have made the situation so tense, right?”
“Ms. Yeager made her own choice. No one forced her to do that.”
After Eric finished speaking, he took a sip of the coffee in front of him and put it back in its original place.
Larry was about to lose his temper, which was in stark contrast with Eric’s calmness.
