Chapter 1709 Revenge
“Alas, I can’t believe I missed out on such a good show! If it’s true that their relationship is falling apart, and Sheila Muir kicks up a fuss, both the businesses of the Muir family and the Seet family would be affected!”
“Do you think their stock price would plummet? There are already signs of that happening today.”
“Yeah, do you think the downtrend would continue?”
“I think… we should verify it for ourselves. If it’s indeed true, we can start making plans accordingly.”
“That’s a good idea. Should we go? Let’s go together.”
One of the men hesitated for a moment before replying, “I heard that it costs one hundred thousand a night to enter the hideout. It’s just a little…”
“Jeez, why are you even caring about that? Think about it—that’s peanuts compared to your potential losses if the stock prices of the two companies really plunge.”
“Okay, you’re right. Shall we go together later then?”
Just as the two men finally came to an agreement, someone else suddenly came forth to ask about the situation.
“We’ll know the truth once we check it out tonight. As the saying goes, seeing is believing.”
“Sure, let’s go there together tonight.”
“Count me in.”
“Me too.”
More and more people started expressing interest in checking out the situation. With that, everyone agreed to go together.
When Steven heard that Davin had arrived at the hideout, he was conflicted.
Juan had already found out that Skyler orchestrated the previous night’s farce. However, Steven found it puzzling that Davin had not attempted to clarify the matter, given that it was one of the trending topics on social media that day.
“Mr. Maupay, will Mr. Davin make things difficult for Mr. Skyler?”
Steven shot a glance at his assistant and replied, “That’s for sure. Juan had already looked into the matter last night, but no action has been taken yet. I’m quite sure that’s because Davin wants to take revenge himself!”
“Mr. Maupay, what should we do then?”
“What else? We can only go with the flow and deal with whatever happens. We can’t let anyone bully Skyler here! It concerns the reputation of the Maupay family.”
Right after Steven finished speaking, someone walked in and said, “Mr. Maupay, Mr. Davin’s men are guarding the entrance of the hideout!”
Steven was taken aback by the information and wondered what Davin’s intentions could be. Did he do that to prevent Skyler from escaping? Is he planning to deal with him behind closed doors? That won’t do! It seems like I need to think of a way to help Skyler get through this crisis! In hindsight, it really wasn’t wise of Skyler to do that. Not only did he not manage to achieve his objective, but he has also brought trouble upon himself.
“Keep a close eye on Davin. Report to me immediately if he’s up to something!”
“Yes, Mr. Maupay.”
“By the way, is Sally at the hideout?”
“Yes, she’s with Mrs. Maupay.”
“What about Kyle?”
“He’s here as well; he just returned. I saw him when I arrived just now.”
Steven let out a sigh of relief, glad to hear that the both of them were around. Skyler is Sally’s brother, so I’m sure she wouldn’t leave him in the lurch. If Davin goes too far, I’ll have her and Kyle step in.
The whole time, his assistant focused on monitoring Davin at his orders.
The fact that Davin had not done anything other than sip at his tea leisurely surprised the assistant. Perhaps, he does not intend to make things difficult for Mr. Skyler after all?
Just as he was analyzing the situation, he saw someone walking over.
In fact, there were four people altogether. They were mumbling as they walked, “Wasn’t the entrance fee one hundred thousand? Why is it more expensive today?”
“Yeah, I can’t believe the price increased by fifty percent… Ah, if not for finding out the truth, I wouldn’t have come here.”
“Jeez, aren’t you also a prominent figure in the business scene? Does fifty thousand even mean anything to you?”
“Well, I don’t care about that sum, but think about it, each of us has to pay one hundred and fifty thousand to get in here, and if there’re dozens of people here tonight, how much do you think Mr. Davin would be earning?”
The other three men looked at one another in silence, realizing that Davin would indeed profit immensely from the entrance fee.
“Since we’re already here, let’s forget about the money. It’s more important to find out the situation between Mr. Davin and Sheila Muir so that we’ll know if the Seet family and the Muir family would turn against each other, consequently affecting the stock prices of their companies.”
