Upon hearing my words, both father and son turned to me simultaneously with their gazes full of surprise.
“You?” Herman said in a scornful tone, “You’re all from the Stovall family. Is there any difference?”
“Of course, there’s a difference.” I looked him in the eye, then continued, “Although I’ve taken Louis as my godfather, legally, we’re not family, so whatever investments I make will not be monitored. You can rest assured that you won’t incur losses because of me.”
Herman knocked on the table as he laughed coldly. “I don’t know if you’re stupid or if you’re just pretending, but do you think you can resolve it just by saying that you’re ‘not legally family?’ Do you really think we’re idiots?”
As soon as he was done speaking, the secretary standing behind Seth brought the phone to his ear and whispered while cupping the microphone. He then bent over and whispered in Seth’s ear.
After Seth replied in a soft voice, the secretary gave us a polite smile before exiting the room.
As soon as the secretary turned his back to us, Seth broke into an incomprehensible smile. “Today seems to be a special day. Distinguished guests have arrived all at once. Mr. and Ms. Stovall, I’m sure you won’t mind if my friends join in our conversation, right? They’re also very interested in Pitcoin.”
Although his expression actually made me a little flustered, I still managed to look calm. “Of course, it’s all fair competition. Only if we meet will you actually be able to see who has more capital, right?”
Seth kept silent as the corners of his mouth started to curl upward, resulting in a very frightening scene.
Soon, the office door opened once again as the secretary led Seth’s guests in.
As soon as Thora walked through the door, our eyes met. A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she kept her composure as she greeted both father and son. Behind her, aside from her assistant, entered Ashton.
However, I was not as surprised as Thora was. As Ashton and I had already agreed to disrupt the Pitcoin business, we inevitably had to meet Seth. Thus, it was no surprise that we would meet then.
