He soon received a call from Xenhall, Jetroina.
“Hey, Solomon! I hear Trevor intends to have his daughter marry you! This is a great opportunity, so you should take it! Frederick has yet to fully hand over his power, so having the support of the Rocke family’s pharmaceutical company will reinforce your position!”
It was a woman’s voice, and all she did was order him around without even asking about his well-being.
Solomon narrowed his eyes, and the look on his face grew cold instantly.
“And what if I don’t marry her?”
“Why not? Are you trying to defy your mom? This is all for your own good, so you will do as I say!”
The woman on the phone got really angry and scolded him harshly.
Mom?
A sarcastic smile formed on Solomon’s lips as he said, “My mom is dead! She died back when I was eight!”
He then slammed his phone on the ground, much to the horror of his assistant watching from the side.
Instead of going to see Roxanne, Solomon left the office and went looking for the shareholder that had been avoiding him.
He had only a few more to get rid of, and they were the most difficult ones of the bunch.
Most of the people in Hayes Corporation didn’t respect him even after he rose to power as he was an illegitimate child and had taken over the company through underhanded means.
That was the reason why he had been “executing” a lot of people throughout that month, but most of them held lowly positions in the company and only owned a small amount of the company’s shares.
As such, the only way for Solomon to truly achieve dominance was to take out the major shareholders.
“Mr. George, Peter lives in Lux Tower and has always wanted to acquire the building. He’s willing to transfer his shares over if we can fulfill this request of his,” his assistant reminded him over the phone when Solomon arrived at the Lux Tower.
Solomon took a glance at the building from inside his car upon hearing that.
Hmm, it does indeed have great commercial value. The first four floors are comprised of a shopping mall with lots of top-tier luxury brands within the city. The rent alone for this place should be enough to last you a lifetime.
He then parked his car and was about to go look for Peter inside when he saw two familiar figures in one of the men’s clothing stores.
“Do you like this?”
“Yeah.”
A handsome and elegant-looking man was trying on some clothes in front of the mirror. Although the outfits were plain and ordinary in design, he made them look surprisingly well when he put them on.
Solomon narrowed his eyes when he noticed that the man’s gaze wasn’t focused on his outfit, but the woman who was straightening his shirt collar for him.
