The business world was no different than war.
Some liked to battle in the open while others preferred to use subterfuge.
The success Matthew achieved in the business world didn’t come without a cost. He had offended many along the way and even more wanted to see him and Tyson Corporation destroyed.
After all, he knew that no one was invincible, including him. Although not many people dared to challenge him, there was still a rare few brazen enough to do so.
Consequently, he didn’t take the matter lightly and assumed that it was just some paparazzo wanting to make a name for himself. He resolved to get to the bottom of who was behind the entire saga.
Looking at Matthew, Jeremy couldn’t help but ask, “Matt, who did this?”
Matthew didn’t reply. However, Yarick sneered instead. “Who else can it be? There was one case a few years ago, another one a few months ago, and even one more recently…”
Yarick mentioned all the business competitors that Matthew had put out of business. All of them wanted revenge.
“Can’t those b*stards accept defeat? They are just full of schemes. Once I find out who it is that slandered Damian, I’ll sleep with his wife and make her betray him…”
Jeremy’s lips twitched at Yarick’s idea of punishment.
Yarick had always behaved that way, shooting off his mouth without a care. Whenever he was worried, he would always react impulsively.
I pray that he finds a smart wife soon that’s able to keep him on a leash.
“Yarick, your method of revenge lacks a moral compass.”
“F*ck, who cares about moral compass under such circumstances.”
Yarick was upset that his idea was being criticized. In fact, he felt it was a brilliant idea. Isn’t causing the man’s wife to cheat on him the best form of revenge? At the very least, if he was betrayed by his wife one day, he would kill whoever did it.
However, haha… I can forget about such comparisons. After all, I will never be betrayed by my wife.
Yarick wanted an extremely submissive wife who would acquiesce to everything he wanted. That way, she wouldn’t even have the opportunity to betray him.
And that was how he came to that decision.
Yarick was lost in thought, trying to decide what were the qualities to look for in his future wife. Little did he know that it was uncertain if everything would go according to his plan.
“Matt, leave this to me, I will kill the b*stard who did this.”
When Yarick volunteered enthusiastically for the task, Jeremy shook his head instead. “You’re not suited to it. It’s better I do it.”
“What do you mean I’m not suited? Let me tell you, Jeremy, don’t underestimate me. I can…”
Before he could finish boasting, Matthew interrupted him with a grave and frosty tone.
“Enough, both of you don’t have to do it.”
“Alright. We won’t get involved.”
Nevertheless, Jeremy voiced his opinion. “However, Matt, the holiday season is coming. The livelier it gets, the more these people would use the occasion to cause trouble.”
Matthew grunted in acknowledgment.
There was no need to elaborate as all of them knew what they had to do.
Just when they took their seats after being done with the serious topic, Yarick began to feel restless.
Adjusting his plump body, he finally voiced what he had wanted to say in a long time.
“Matt, actually, what I wanted to say was…”
Just when he paused, Matthew and Jeremy turned to look at him in unison, making him feel pressured.
“What?”
Despite feeling awkward under their curious gazes, Yarick gritted his teeth and steeled himself for what he found difficult to convey.
“Matt, I want to go over to your place and taste Clarissa’s cooking.”
Matthew raised his eyebrows as Jeremy snorted in laughter.
Feeling awkward, Yarick explained immediately. “Erm, Matt, I don’t mean anything else. I’m sure all of you know that I enjoy eating and she does cook really well…”
“Wrong. You also like to fool around with women,” Jeremy added mischievously.
Yarick snapped back at once. “Me? Isn’t that supposed to be you?”
Jeremy let out an innocent laugh. Not wanting to waste any more time with him, Yarick continued his explanation.
“Matt, I really miss Clarissa’s cooking a lot. Since the holiday season is approaching, why don’t we have a party by sharing a meal together?”
