Chapter 2031 Leave This Matter To Me
Sheila shot Davin a glare. “Don’t run your mouth without any evidence, Davin! Besides, is there any son-in-law who denigrates his father-in-law in such a manner? Perhaps my father only learned about your father’s affair by accident.”
“I can’t comment on that, but it’s a fact he’s using it to blackmail us now. Sheep, if you give that two billion to your father, it’ll be no different from you handing him a gun so that he can shoot at the whole business industry. The final outcome will not be as he wishes either. If he succeeds and steals other companies’ trade secrets unscrupulously and arbitrarily, many people will want his life. In other words, he’ll become a target everyone wants to eliminate. At that time, he’ll be doomed. For that reason, you definitely can’t lend him the money. Doing so will just ruin him. You’ve got to look at the bigger picture instead of acting foolishly.”
Sheila brooded over it for a while before she lifted her head and looked at him. “You’re sure that he will succeed?”
“Regardless of whether he succeeds, we can’t provide him with the funds to research it. The safest way is to nip it in the bud.”
“Aren’t you afraid that your father’s affair will be leaked to the media if we don’t give him the loan?”
Davin went silent when things went back to the crux of the matter.
He didn’t know how to resolve it, so he turned to Evan.
“Evan, what do you think we should do now?”
Right then, Evan was still keeping mum, his dark eyes unfathomable. Only when Davin called his name did he jolt back to his senses.
He then remarked solemnly, “The information I received indicated that he seemingly invested all of Muir Group’s profits in recent years on that research. As such, it’s impossible that he’ll give up at this time. Therefore, the most effective method is to stop him forcibly and come up with a way to thwart him from continuing the research.”
“How are we to stop him forcibly? Do you have a workable idea, Evan?” Davin inquired.
Evan said nothing but looked at Sheila at the side. Following that, Davin and Nicole swung their gazes at her in concern.
At once, Sheila felt she had become the center of attention.
On second thought, since the person in question is my father, perhaps it’s most appropriate for me to resolve the matter.
She stood up, promising, “Leave this matter to me. I understand him best, so I know how to sabotage him. I’ll make sure that he can’t continue the research in the future.”
“Okay!”
Evan nodded, not at all worried.
“But what about your script? Will it affect the shooting progress?”
“Nope. There won’t be any problems with those from the director team keeping an eye on things. Besides, it’s enough for me to use my spare time to sabotage my father or even do it during the nighttime. I don’t need to follow him every second of every day.”
“Well, as long as you’ve got no problem with it. If necessary, I can play along with you. Let’s deal with him together, lest you’ve got to do everything alone without any help.”
“Sure! But make sure that you’re not making trouble for me instead.”
“Don’t underestimate me, Sheep! I can almost read your mind after so many years of marriage. With a single look from you, I instantly know what you want to do!”
Seeing Davin’s utter confidence, Sheila promptly threw a look at him. “Do you know what this means?”
Davin was wholly confounded. “What does it mean?”
“You just boasted that you instantly understand my intention with a single look from me. Yet, you don’t know what it means after I threw you a look.”
“W-Was that a look from you?”
“Of course! I looked out the door, so it means ‘let’s go and not bother Evan and Nicole any further’.”
“Then, you should’ve just said that directly. Gah! You’re not at all in sync with me.”
“It’s clear as day that you’re the one who’s too dumb to read my expression!”
“I’m dumb? Right back at you. If I say I’m the second smartest person, no one will dare say that he’s above me!”
“Bah! Why are you so thick-skinned? You’re blowing your trumpet as though you’ll never run out of breath! Well, go on!”
And so, they continued bickering.
