Chapter 104: Chapter 104: William Griffith Expresses His Anger Assertively Chapter 104: Chapter 104: William Griffith Expresses His Anger Assertively When Daniel Peacock saw Cherish Turner again, it felt as if a lifetime had passed. There was regret and heartache, but mostly, there was frustration.
Upon hearing Abigail Johnson mention a delay to their wedding date, he already felt unease. After all, he had just climbed into Kyoto Cityâs Johnson family, and he could not afford any mistake.
When he discovered that the person who had secretly purchased the development land of the Kyoto City Group was actually William Griffith, the frustration in Daniel Peacockâs heart peaked!
He originally thought that Cherish would wallow in sadness for a while after leaving him and would not throw herself into a new relationship so quickly. He felt a sense of superiority towards her, thinking that even if he married Abigail, Cherish would still pine for him, right?
But now, not only does she have a new boyfriend, but the new boyfriend is also such a domineering and wealthy big boss.
Instantly, he felt dwarfed in the presence of Cherish Turner.
Cherish Turner saw Daniel Peacock too. Looking closely, the current Daniel Peacock was less scholarly than his student days, displaying more of a business shark attitude.
âWell, if it isnât Vice President Peacock, such a rare guest,â was the first to speak after they met. William Griffithâs simple phrase was cloaked in overwhelming dominance, effortlessly becoming the focus at any moment.
âPresident Griffith, I actually have a favor to ask you.â
âOh? To my knowledge, we donât have any business dealings between Griffith and Kyoto City, so howâ¦?â
Daniel Peacock was just about to go on when Cherish stood up from the sofa. She couldnât bear this atmosphere any longer.
âYou guys go ahead and talk, we can discuss the paperwork after youâre done working. Iâm leaving first,â she said, and was about to leave, but William Griffith reached out and stopped her.
âThe talk between Vice President Peacock and me wonât take too long. Wait for a while, and Iâll drive you to handle the proceedings.â
William Griffithâs words were gentle yet assertive. The hand around Cherishâs waist tightened, and she leaned into him.
Daniel Peacock saw it all very clearly.
A manâs intuition told him William Griffith was flaunting, or perhaps, asserting dominance.
He looked away, trying hard to ignore the sour taste welling up in his heart. He managed a sheepish smile, yet the jealousy inside him only amplified.
Cherish frowned, although she wanted to resist, she remembered Daniel Peacockâs presence and decided not to say anything.
Daniel Peacock came with a clear purpose this timeâhe hoped that William Griffith could release the land he was holding, allowing the animation city project to proceed.
Cherish had heard of this project. After all, she did have some interest in the animation field.
âPresident Griffith, Kyoto City sent me here to negotiate, and I have come with considerable sincerity. As long as you are willing to release the land, our company is willing to offer a price of 5% above the market value. Iâm sure you must know, this is a particularly high percentage for the real estate sector!â
But William Griffith didnât budge. Money to him was merely numbers, and whether it was more or less, he didnât care. The annual income of Griffith would leave any company in the dust.
âVice President Peacock, forgive me for being bluntââ William Griffith not dismissing Daniel Peacockâs words outright was already a big favor. Daniel Peacock naturally listened carefully.
âPresident Griffith, please continue.â
âI, a simple man, donât understand this cartoon city business, but I think you should know, my girlfriend has some knowledge in this field.â
Cherish was startled on the side! Why was he dragging her into this? She was merely a small-time staff member in a comic agency, publishing cartoon works on a website. How was she remotely involved in this field!
