“Monica’s real motive is to destroy the Seet Group, and so to make the Four terminate their contracts with us is merely the first step. Even if you can persuade The Four to play along and deceive Monica, she will come up with some other conditions tomorrow! She’ll push her luck and threaten you again!” “Dad, there’s no time to consider too much because Mom, Nina, and Maya are in her hands. If we don’t do as she said by tomorrow morning, Mom might really lose an arm! We definitely can’t let that happen! So, let’s deal with whatever we can for now!”
Jonathan heaved a sigh and thought to himself. This is a vicious cycle of revenge!
“Let’s go, Dad. We have to persuade the Snyder and Campbell families so that Mom can keep her arm!”
Since Davin kept urging him to move, Jonathan finally decided to leave the Seet Residence with him and went to the Snyder family villa first.
Given that the two families had close relationships for many years, the Snyder family agreed to their demands quickly. Besides, Arthur, the head of the Snyder family, said earnestly, “The Snyder family is willing to work with you as long as we’re not really terminating the contracts. Besides, our relationships mustn’t be affected.”
“We won’t have to terminate our contracts. After all, the Seet Group won’t do something that undermines our own foundation. We only wish to deceive the ill-intentioned mastermind into thinking that their evil schemes are successful. Then, we will be able to track and go after her!”
“Davin, I believe what you said. I’ll instruct my men to spread the rumor later.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Nevertheless, Arthur seemed to have reservations about the plan. He thought about it for a while and asked suddenly, “Does your brother Evan know about this?”
“Evan… he will know it soon. I’ll call him to inform him about it later.”
“Yes, you should tell him about it because it’s a very important matter!”
“Rest assured. Evan will surely thank you once he knows this.”
Arthur actually didn’t mind if Evan would be grateful to him. Instead, he hoped that Evan would have no objections so that the arrangements remained unchanged.
After leaving the Snyder family villa, they went to the Campbell family.
The Campbell family was rather cautious and curious about the reason behind Seet Group coming up with such a move. Also, the head of the Campbell family, Joshua Campbell, was worried that the Seet family planned to make trouble for them.
Will he go up against the Campbell family after spreading the rumor?
“I think we should be cautious about it since it isn’t a trivial matter.”
Actually, Davin had heard that those from the Campbell family were nebbish and petty. Hence, while they were on their way, he had asked Jonathan to come forward just in case the Campbell family couldn’t be persuaded easily.
Jonathan got the hint as soon as Davin glanced at him. Without further ado, he took out a paper and a pen to write down their proposal in black and white.
Despite their effort, Joshua still hesitated after hearing it from Jonathan.
“Given that the president of Seet Group is Mr. Evan, would it be better that he writes it instead?”
Davin looked at Joshua and said, “What’s the matter? Are you worried that Evan won’t acknowledge pledges that are written by my dad?”
Joshua was rendered speechless.
He was indeed afraid that it was part of the Seet family’s tricks, and thus Evan wouldn’t acknowledge what Jonathan wrote.
Since Joshua remained silent, Davin knew that his guess was right. As such, he suggested calling Evan so that he could listen to Evan’s promise by himself.
He was calm and dialed the number to call Evan. However, he soon remembered that Evan’s phone was turned off when he called him earlier on. Is his phone still turned off?
He waited anxiously, yet his hope didn’t materialize in the end.
My goodness! Evan, what are you doing? Our house is almost burned down! Please turn on your phone!
Because Davin couldn’t reach Evan, Joshua felt that something wasn’t right and began to give various excuses to reject their request.
As Davin was pissed off, he struck the table and yelled, “Now, the Snyder Group, the Walker Group, and the Jones Group have all agreed to play along with the Seet Group. If you refuse to cooperate with us, there is only one option left. The Campbell Group has to terminate its contracts officially with the Seet Group.”
Joshua was taken aback.
Did the three major groups really agree to it? Why on earth did they agree though?
If the other groups really supported and decided to stick together with the Seet Group, then their collaboration with Campbell Group with definitely be terminated if he refused to cooperate. Under such circumstances, the Campbell Group would suffer a huge blow that would result in great loss.
