Chapter 686

“I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, Ms. Berry. It’s about the Fraser family. They’ve asked for my help, so I can’t just stand by and watch. What is it that you want to bargain for?” Dixon’s voice turned icy.

“I’m not trying to bargain for anything here. I’m just doing it to pay Mrs. Fraser back. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

“Ashlyn!” Dixon took a deep breath when he heard her uncooperative reply. “How about this? Fraser Corporation will call a press conference to apologize to you publicly tomorrow.”

“What a kind offer, Mr. Haddock. Thank you. How’s the movie that you and Fraser Corporation invested in going? Have you found a new lead actress? I can recommend a few actresses to you.” Ashlyn’s icy voice sounded through the phone.

Dixon’s feminine face turned sinister as hostility flashed across his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he answered, “That is none of your concern, Ms. Berry. The shooting of that movie will go well.”

Slam!

A loud sound echoed in the room as he threw his phone on the floor in anger. It broke into pieces instantly.

Then he glared at Kate viciously. “Don’t mess with Ashlyn in the future without my permission.”

“Dixon, why did you agree to hold a press conference?” Kate frowned in frustration.

“This incident is a big mess. The only way to resolve it is to hold a press conference and apologize to all the parties involved. Do you think this issue will magically subside?” Dixon responded coldly. “If you want to resuscitate Fraser Corporation, you can’t be a coward.”

Lochlan nodded. “Listen to Dixon, Mom. He’s right.”

Kate had no choice but to accept.

Dixon’s expression was unreadable as he added, “If Fraser Corporation recovers from this, I would like you to help me with something, Lochlan.”

Upon hearing that, Lochlan froze. “Dixon, I’m supposed to be a firefighter here. How can I help you?”

“It has something to do with you, too. Do you want revenge against Ashlyn?” Dixon asked in a manipulative way.

“I thought you said we shouldn’t mess with her…” Kate mumbled timidly.

“Aunt, don’t be so afraid. There are many ways to seek revenge. You can get your revenge without having to reveal yourself. Why don’t you understand that?”

Dixon stared at Kate like a serpent staring at its prey.

Then he leaned close to Lochlan to whisper in the latter’s ear.

Lochlan’s expression changed. “Umm… I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Contempt flashed across Dixon’s eyes, but it quickly reverted to his usual look. “Think about Fraser Corporation. Think about our movie. You have to fight back, Lochlan.”

On their way home, Kate could not help but ask Lochlan, “What did Dixon whisper to you?”

Lochlan nodded. “Listen to Dixon, Mom. He’s right.”

Looking annoyed, Lochlan replied, “You’ll know in a few days’ time.”

He felt frustrated when he thought of Charlotte and Joseph standing together. That was a scene that he would not want to see.

His grip on the steering wheel weakened; Dixon’s words had greatly affected him.

Lochlan tried not to think about it and focused on driving instead.

In the Warhol residence, Olivia had been glued to her phone, monitoring the whole issue regarding the Fraser family.

She could not believe her eyes.

Ashlyn caused such damage to a big company in just a day. Their reputation is ruined, and their stocks are dropping in value. How did she do it? Most importantly, she can even keep this issue in the headlines.

Cold sweat broke out behind Olivia’s back.

Would the Warhol family have been dragged into this if I had acted even more arrogantly when I met Mrs. Field and Charlotte that day?

Letting out a sigh, she turned off her phone.

Then she sat on the couch and stared into the space dazedly.

From that day onward, Olivia became extra careful with her words and actions.

She was no longer as arrogant as she used to be. Instead, she became polite and treated everyone with respect.
