Chapter 780 Delivering Fake Information
Oscar scoffed, “Mom, I guess Noah and Stephanie must have complained to you, huh? Do you remember the patient who went into a coma after being electrocuted by the phone? Do you still remember the commotion his family caused in our company? And do you know who smashed and injured me?”
Owen and Olivia froze for a moment. “You mean Noah instigated the family?” Olivia raised her voice. Oscar stood up, walked to his desk, and opened his drawer. He then drew out the document Emma had given him and handed it to Olivia.
Olivia’s expression darkened after she went through the document. She could not believe her son-in-law, who always appeared to be respectful and obedient, was the culprit behind all this.
She asked Oscar, “So Noah ganged up with that foreigner named June and did all these behind our back? He has crossed the line!”
“Mom, everything is written in black and white here. I’ve been treating him well because of you, yet he turned his back against the Clinton family. What an ingrate,” Oscar replied nonchalantly.
Olivia passed the document to Owen, and his expression turned grim after he flipped through the pages. “What’s your plan, Oscar?” Owen asked. “Terminate our partnership with Walker Group. It’s time to cut ties with that ingrate.”
Upon hearing that, Olivia hesitated. “But Oscar, Noah did mention he and June are business partners, and I can understand this kind of collaboration is unavoidable for a company that is about to go public. Besides, your sister is his wife, and she’s carrying his child. Let’s not go overboard since we’re still family.”
Oscar responded with a faint smile and said nothing. “Should I get Noah to apologize to you? We should try our best to resolve this internal conflict since we’re a family,” Olivia said so because she did not want Stephanie to suffer in the Walker family. “Mom, you came all the way to the office to talk to me about this. I can’t say no to you, can I?”
“All right, then. I suppose Noah didn’t do those things on purpose. Everything will be okay once we talk it out.” Olivia then called Noah on the phone and asked him to come over. Soon, Noah arrived at the company with Stephanie.
“Stephanie, you should be resting at home since you’re pregnant. What are you doing here?” Olivia helped her to the couch while glaring at Noah.
“Dad, Mom, take a seat first. I’ll have a chat with Noah in the conference room. I must have this talk with him in private.” Oscar glanced at Noah. “Shall we?”
“Sure. How can I say no to you?”
Stephanie was a little worried, but when she was about to say anything, Olivia nudged her to stop her from making any comments.
She had no choice but to remain silent.
Oscar and Noah then entered the conference room. Oscar walked to the window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city.
“Oscar, is there something you want to talk to me about?”
“How long have you been in cahoots with June? Tell me the truth.”
Noah’s face changed for a bit, but he immediately feigned ignorance. “Yes, I’m interested in working with June but only because he has strong support from the Aidleton family. We need him and the Aidletons to break into the Erihal market. But what do you mean when you said I’m in cahoots with him? I don’t get it.”
“You’re a smart man, Noah, and you’re very meticulous. But don’t you forget, I have all the resources in the world to find out what you’re doing behind my back. I’m giving you one more chance—work with me, and let’s take June down together. Otherwise, I’ll tell Mom about the losses Walker Group has made over the years. You can tell how much my mom dotes on Stephanie, right? I’m sure she’ll ask Stephanie to divorce you if she finds out about it. If that happens, you’ll lose everything. Also, I’m willing to turn a blind eye to all the things you’ve done to destroy Clinton Corporations.”
Noah instantly blanched at his words. After a short struggle, he said, “All right. I’ll follow your lead.”
Oscar walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, “I knew I could count on you.”
Noah responded with a wry smile, as he had no clue what Oscar’s next move would be.
Of course, Oscar would not let Noah off so easily. If Noah and June were two sneaky mice with some dirty tricks up their sleeves, Oscar would be the watchful cat that would keep everything under his control.
