Chapter 139 Cassius Asks Gustave to Go Home
Cyrus thought that he had heard wrong. When did Avery become so impulsive in
business?
Cyrus asked to confirm, âSir, do you mean to directly terminate the biggest contract signed with the
Walpole Group now? This is a unilateral violation of the contract. What kind of reason should we give to
the Walpole Group and the public?â
Avery obviously could not calm down. Moreover, his plan to terminate the contract unilaterally was only
out of his intention to give Gustave a reminder.
Such a big deal was related to the interests of the Gallard Group and Walpole Group, and it might not
really end when it was negotiated later.
Avery said impatiently, âThe technology and products of the Walpole Group are not completely in line
with our requirements, so we intend to terminate the cooperation.
âThere were many other reasons like this. Markus would settle the specific reason. The contract
termination letter was sent directly first. I was waiting for the Walpole Group
to reply.â
Cyrus finally understood what Avery meant, but if they terminated the cooperation like this, the Walpole
Group wouldnât be the only one suffering a loss. At least it would be a
loss for both parties.
So Cyrus had to remind Avery, âSir, this is not appropriate. Why donât you think about it.
twice?
âThe Gallard Group has always valued its reputation. With a precondition that the
partner is blameless, the case that the contract was suddenly terminated unilaterally
has never happened before. It is hard to estimate the impact on the Gallard Groupâs future profit and
reputation that the termination will bring. Besidesâ¦
Cyrus paused slightly and then he continued, âMoreover, Iâm afraid that Mr. Gallard will not agree no
matter what. Once it gets out, the board of directors and shareholders. will be involved. It may be
troublesome.â
Avery was in a very bad mood. He directly turned around and left. âCyrus, you think about too many
things. Just let Markus do as I say.
âGustave knows what I want. As for the influence of ending the cooperation with the
Gallard Group, that was a problem that the relevant departments of the Gallard Group should think of.â
Cyrus was in a dilemma. âSir, thisâ¦â
Before Cyrus finished speaking, Avery had already left.
At the Walpoleâs villa.
The doctor came out of the consulting room and told Gustave with a serious expression, âThe situation is
not promising. Ms. Garciaâs heart failure has been very serious. This is
obvious.
âMy suggestion is, Mr. Walpole, you begin to prepare an artificial heart. If the situation continues to
deteriorate, we can only prepare to implant artificial hearts at any time.â
He opened the medical record and handed it to Gustave. âAs for Ms. Garciaâs psychological illness, Iâm
afraid it will be more dangerous than her heart disease.
âShe suddenly suffered a great shock, causing her depression to relapse. Her current mood is very
unstable. It is best to ensure that she has someone by her side to protect her at any time to prevent any
accidents from happening when she loses control of her
emotions.â
Gustave took the medical record the doctor handed over and said, âGot it. Thank you for your hard
work.â
Gustave turned around and looked at Darnell, who had just returned from the call. âChoose two more
reliable servants to guard her.â
Darnell looked troubled. He had just hung up a call and was still holding the phone in his hand âSir,
something has happened.
âAvery had ended the oneâsided collaboration with the Gallard Group. The termination. letter had been
sent directly to Mr. Walpole. Mr. Walpole had called and said that he wanted you to return home
immediately.â
Gustave flipped through the medical records in his hands. He clearly wasnât worried at all. âI donât have
time to go back. Let Avery transfer enough sum of the liquidated damages. If he wants to end it, then so
be it. If I lose ten percent of the benefits, he will
lose at least twenty percent.â
Darnell was a little hesitant. âBut Mr. Walpole said that if you donât go back, he will come directly now.
Ms. Garciaâs current situation is still unstable. If Mr. Walpole comes to make trouble, Iâm afraidâ¦â
Gustave frowned and closed the medical record immediately. He threw it back into the hands of the
doctor next to him and told the servant, âKeep an eye on her. If anything happens, your salary will be
deducted.â
The servant immediately nodded repeatedly. There was nothing more terrible than deducting wages for
working at Gustaveâs place.
Gustave was in a bad mood. When he walked out, he strode over.
Darnell quickly followed Gustave behind and then drove to the Walpoleâs old house.
Gustave was in a bad mood. Darnell drove all the way and did not dare to make
noise.
When they arrived, other than Cassius, Sandra and Abigail were also there.
any
Gustave walked in and looked at Sandra. He sneered, âMs. Bullock, youâre quite thinkâskinned. I thought
you would be too embarrassed to enter the door of our house.
for a year or so.â
Sandra coughed with a guilty conscience. âMr. Walpole, Abigailâs matter is indeed a misunderstanding.
There was a little trouble in the orphanage.
âI have explained it to your father. Your father said that Abigail is a clever and sensible child. She will be
friends with you.â
Gustave looked at Abigail mockingly. He was not in the mood to talk about how thick their skin was. He
directly sat down on the sofa opposite Cassius.
âDad, if you have something to say, just say it. Iâm busy. I have something else to do.â
Cassius asked in a deep voice, âBusy? Busy taking care of someone elseâs wife, busy sending the
Walpole Group to a dead end?â
Gustave leaned back and took the coffee the servant handed over. He took a sip.
unhurriedly.
âDad, you are too serious. Avery unilaterally terminated the cooperation. That is his problem. Itâs none of
my business. If he wants to do this, it will be a disgrace to the Gallard Group.â
Cassius said coldly, âI donât want to argue with you about these meaningless things. Immediately send
that Darlene back to Avery. Donât interfere in things that you should not get involved in.
âNo matter who Aurora was back then, she was just a twelveâyearâold girl. Does it
matter?
âI think Abigail is a very obedient child. The psychologist also said that her illness will soon get better.
You are also at the age to start your familyâ¦â
Gustave interrupted Cassius and said impolitely, âDad, what are you trying to say? You have good taste.
Are you trying to persuade me to marry a fool?â
Abigailâs eyes immediately turned red and her face was full of grievance. How could Gustave say that to
her?
Cassius was so angry that he threw the coffee cup on the table. âWatch your language. Abigail is here.
What are you saying?â
Gustaveâs expression also turned cold. âDad, you can clearly hear what Iâm saying. I really want to ask,
what did you want to say after beating around the bush?
âSandra and the Bullock family had ill intentions and placed fake goods beside me. Now, you even
invited her over to entertain her. Are you sure you are not muddled?â
Cassius was so angry that he slammed his fist on the coffee table, causing a violent cough, âYou
bastard, bastard!
âObedience and discipline are womenâs virtues. The Walpole family chooses a
daughterâinâlaw for a reason. I think Abigail is a hundred times better than that fickle
Darlene.
Gustave immediately stood up. âDad, you should think about these thoughts yourself. I have something
to do, so Iâll leave first.â
Cassiusâ voice suddenly sank. âItâs not up to you. I will never watch my own son ruin his
own future like this.
âA man should value his career. You are just like your mother. You take feelings too seriously and canât
tell the point!â
Gustave turned around, anger in his eyes. âYou are not qualified to judge my mother. It is you who are
heartless and unworthy to be a husband.â
As soon as Gustave finished speaking, he sensed that something was wrong, and the heat in his body
came abruptly.
Gustave looked at the cup of coffee on the coffee table, and it was only at this moment that he realized
something.
Gustave looked over in disbelief and heard his father speak in a deep voice. âAbigail, help Mr. Walpole
up and rest.â
