Chapter 463 Trick
Looking at the already agitated man in front of him, Colton couldn’t help but laugh. Richard had always been like this, calling him by his full name whenever he encountered trouble.
Colton tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, “Gardner Corporation is now preparing to collaborate with F&R Enterprise, and the Kohlberg Group is keeping a close eye on us. It might not be in my best interest to help you out, but I have a friend who can.”
Richard squinted at him and couldn’t help but mutter, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier if you already had a plan?”
F*ck, he had been scratching his head and worrying about it for so long.
Colton remained calm even when confronted by Richard’s questioning. He glanced at Richard and responded, “You didn’t ask earlier, and I thought you really liked Christi. If this beautiful marriage actually takes place, it will benefit the Gardner Family as well.”
“Nonsense!” Richard abruptly showed his true colors in front of Colton and lost the previous docility he had.
He was so pissed!
Although Christi didn’t force him, the Zuniga Family did; they insisted that both Christi and Richard got married to each other.
When Richard learned Colton had a solution, he felt relieved. He sat on the couch and looked at the man before asking, “Tell me, what’s the solution you have in mind?”
Colton saw his expression of relief and uttered while stroking his chin, “This method only has a fifty-fifty probability of working, though.”
Confused, Richard frowned a little before asking, “What is the solution?”
“Seduction,” Colton stated nonchalantly.
Richard suddenly felt as though he was being suffocated by air, and he forcefully coughed while covering his mouth with his palms. He inquired again in disbelief, “What did you say?”
“Seduction,” Colton repeated.
Richard was speechless as he didn’t anticipate it to be such a poor solution.
He regretted placing so much hope in Colton. After a moment of silence, he got up and walked away without saying anything.
Then, Colton shouted, “My friend’s name is Joshua Fleming.”
Richard came to an immediate halt. He turned to face Colton with a tense gaze, and he eventually moved his lips to question, “Are you talking about the oldest young master of the Fleming Family that lives in the eastern area?”
Colton nodded.
“Yes, he is planning to return to his home country recently. Since he enjoys challenging various ladies, he might be able to assist you in getting rid of the Zuniga Family.”
Richard had also heard of Joshua. The Fleming Family worked in the oil industry and profited generously from it, but because of this, Joshua grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth.
He was a dissolute man who enjoyed being with ladies and liked women he couldn’t get.
Although Richard didn’t like the Zuniga Family’s coercion, Christi was innocent. He couldn’t do it.
When Colton noticed Richard hesitating, he spread his lips and cracked a little smile.
“If you want to know one thing, Richard, it’s that you can’t always have the best of both worlds. You should understand that in order to achieve something, something must be sacrificed.”
After pausing for a while, Richard came to his senses.
Christi might be innocent, but the Zuniga Family was not one to be trifled with, and Joshua could not benefit from them in any way. If he could interfere with the matter between him and Christi, Richard could finally be together with Julia.
When Richard thought of the kid inside Julia’s womb, he stopped hesitating as much.
He stood still, looked at Colton, and stated with sincerity, “Thank you, Colton.”
He bowed to Colton once he finished speaking. Then, he turned to leave.
Colton hid his smile as he looked at Richard, who had already left. He had to think of an actual solution to trick him.
