Evan questioned Rocky, âI heard that the Yan Group has set its sights on a project in the Northern Suburbs.â
Rocky frowned. What does he mean by this?
âAre you interested as well, Mr. Seet?â
Evan scoffed and left. Figure it out yourself!
Rocky had a bad feeling about this. He knew that Evan did not waste his breath on small talk. Donât tell me heâs set his sights on the same project! Theyâve attempted to contract the Seet Group before this, but Evan found this project not worthy of his attention. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
He turned back and looked at Nicoleâs apartment. Donât tell me he wants to take revenge on me at the workplace!
Half an hour later, he received a phone call that confirmed his suspicions.
Evan didnât just âwantâ to take revenge. Heâs already executed it!
The Seet Group had taken over the Northern Suburbs project at a lower price than the Yan Group had agreed on.
It was highly likely that Evan would lose money from this project.
It was clear as day that Evan was taking his revenge at the workplace!
However, Rockyâs thinking proved to be too naïve.
Ian, Rockyâs father, could not understand the reason behind Evanâs actions. He only found out through his connections that Rocky had offended Evan.
Ian called Rocky over and chided him harshly, âDo you know what losing this project means to the Yan Group? The entire world is talking about how weâve offended the Seet Group and Mr. Seet is now attacking the Yan Group! If the rumors continue, those fearful of Evan will stop doing business with us! Weâll lose out on a lot of projects in the future! In business, we canât afford to make enemies. How could you offend Evan Seet over a woman?â
Rocky was astounded that Ian had guessed all of this correctly.
He defended himself, âItâs not what you think it is, dad. I didnât offend him. Evanâ¦â
âThatâs enough! You caused this mess, so itâs pointless arguing about who started it now. Settle this mess yourself. Rocky, if you continue causing trouble for the Yan Group, I might change my mind about appointing you as my heir.â
Rocky was overwhelmed.
Does that mean heâll choose one of his illegitimate children instead? No way Iâll let that happen. I wonât be able to walk with my head held high at home otherwise!
âSettle this mess yourself and donât expect others to clean up after you! Call Mr. Seet now!â Ian ordered angrily.
Rocky reluctantly made the call. In order to inherit the Yan Group, he could not afford to let his father detest him. Otherwise, he would have stayed overseas for nothing.
The Yan Group is mine!
He set his pride aside and dialed Evanâs number.
Evan had seen this coming. He knew Ianâs personality inside out.
âMr. Seet, can you please go easy on the Yan Group and let us have the Northern Suburbs project?â
Evan replied without hesitation, âYes!â
However, Evan was not one to let things settle down so easily.
âWhat are your terms?â
âSimple. I want your apartment at Summervale.â
Just as Rocky was contemplating whether or not to agree, Ian snatched the phone from him and replied, âMr. Seet, we are willing to accept your terms. You can have the apartment at Summervale for free if youâd like.â
âMr. Yan, Iâm a businessman, not a beggar!â Evan smirked. âIâll buy that apartment, so name your price!â
