Thisâ¦
Grandy Anderson immediately shut her mouth, a pallor of ashes quickly desolate her pretty face, as if something was lodging in her throat that she wanted to throw up but couldnât.
What followed next almost had Grandy Anderson collapsing on the spot.
Cooper, with an apologetic look, took over a contract-like document from the butler and handed it directly to Sherry Jones.
âThis isâ¦?â Sherry couldnât quite grasp what Cooper was doing.
Seeing this, Cooper smiled lightly and spoke, âMiss Jones, this is Dragon Steel Building Materialsâ exclusive agency agreement. From now on, you will be Dragon Steel Building Materialsâ exclusive distributor in Sayon. This is a small token of goodwill, I hope you will accept it.â
At that moment, Cooper was genuinely sincere, seemingly apologetic for his granddaughterâs actions the previous day.
âDragon⦠Dragon Steel Building Materialsâ exclusive distributor!?â
Upon seeing Cooperâs gesture, everyone froze, as if witnessing something unbelievably shocking.
âWhy⦠why is this happening!?â
After hearing Cooperâs words, Grandy Anderson looked at Cooper with her brows knitted and a shocked expression, âWhy is it that despite Imperial Groupâs earnest attempts, we couldnât gain Cooperâs favor, but Sherry Jones could get it effortlessly?â
If she had known, she would have not instigated Sana against Sherry at Emperorâs Residence yesterday.
If not for that, would Cooper feel guilty because his granddaughter misunderstood Sherry?
Not only did he personally come and apologize, but he also straight up gave Sherry Jones the exclusive distribution rights!
Who couldâve anticipated that all her schemes would end up unknowingly dressing up the wedding of Sherry Jones?
At that thought, flames of anger seemed ready to burst from Grandy Andersonâs eyes, her gaze filled with malice as she glared at Sherry and White Mitchell.
âWhite Mitchell! Sherry! I wonât forget this!!â Grandy Anderson gritted her teeth, then prepared to leave the scene with her crew.
But just as she was about to step away, Cooper turned to her after glancing at White Mitchell and spoke, âThink you can come and go as you please?â
At the sound of his voice, Grandyâs expression froze, she hastily put on a weak smile, turned around to look at Cooper and stammered: âElder Robert⦠Iâ¦â
âHmph!â
With a cold snort, Cooperâs expression immediately darkened. The next moment, the butler who had been standing by him strode over to Grandy Anderson.
Two crisp slaps landed mercilessly on Grandy Andersonâs face.
âThis is a warning. If you dare utter nonsense in front of my granddaughter again, I will take your life! Remember, these are my words, Cooperâs!â Cooper said sternly.
Gulp!
Hearing his words, Grandy Anderson shivered, swallowing reflexively, then promptly began to apologize and beg for mercy from Cooper.
âGet lost!â
Cooper said coldly.
Hearing this, Grandy Anderson seemed to be pardoned, she left the scene with terror in her heart.
But once she left the Jones Group, Grandy Andersonâs face transformed as though switching a mask, grinding her teeth in rage, âDamn it! Sherry Jones, you little bitch, Iâll make you pay sooner or later!
You think just because you got Dragon Steel Building Materialsâ exclusive distributorship, youâve won?
Lizards like you wouldnât know. The Nezzi New Town development project has already been finalized to be ours, the Imperial Groupâs. When the bidding results are officially announced, Iâll make sure you can neither live nor dieâ¦â
Sayon, Imperial Group.
âWhat? Cooper personally gave the exclusive distributorship of Dragon Steel Building Materials to Sherry Jones!?â Alan Austin was outraged when he heard the news.
Who could have thought that his elaborate plot to use Cooper against Sherry Jones ended up handing her a significant advantage?
The exclusive distributorship of Dragon Steel Building Materials!
This was the asset coveted by many businessmen in Sayon, and now, right at the crucial moment of the Nezzi New Town project bidding, it fell into Sherry Jonesâ hands.
Now, with both the necessary funds and construction materials in Sherryâs hands, his own advantages were being eroded!
Thinking about this, Alan Austinâs heart was smothered with discomfort. If it wasnât for the promise he had from David Herb, he probably would have freaked out by now.
âNo, we cannot let Sherry Jones ruin our plans! Get Noah Weiden and Messiah Anderson here immediately,â Alan Austin ordered.
Before long, Noah Weiden and Messiah Anderson appeared in the presidentâs office of the Imperial Group.
Alan Austin got straight to the point, briefly explaining the incident at the Jones Group, then took out a city map of Sayon.
On the map, there was a large region circled in red.
âAccording to my men observing over the past few days, David Herbâs survey team has been frequenting this area. I suspect this is the chosen location for the Nezzi New Town project,â Alan Austin said, indicating the area enclosed in the red circle.
Then, he continued, âCurrently, in Sayon there are only a handful of undeveloped areas that can accommodate the Nezzi New Town project. As long as we can get to it first and secure this land.
By then, weâll naturally secure the project!â
Upon hearing this, Messiah Andersonâs eyes lit up, comprehending Alan Austinâs idea, âAs long as we own the land, even if we donât secure the Nezzi New Town project, we can use the land to squeeze a pretty penny out of the Nezzi command center!
This is a brilliant idea.
However, acquiring land is no simple task. Aside from the massive capital investment, what if David Herb finds outâ¦â
Alan Austin shook his head and calmly replied, âThatâs why the operation must be executed secretly and must not be discovered by David Herb.â
âWhat about Sherryâs endâ¦?â Messiah Anderson continued, currently the funds in Sherryâs hand are greater than all of theirs combined and in terms of wealth, who could outperform her?
In response, Alan Austin shook his head and smirked, saying, âHeh⦠Sherry Jones, that little bitch, isnât worth considering. Iâll put out a rumor leading her to buy another piece of land.
Then her funds will only heap into the bad land that Iâve prepared for her! She would never be able to turn the tide!â
Messiah Anderson seemed satisfied at Alan Austinâs assurance, he continued, âThen who would be suitable to leak this rumor? White Mitchell is no simple man, Iâm afraid they wonât believe us if itâs too deliberate.â
âDonât worry, I already have the right candidate in mind,â Alan Austin confidently replied, then intoned two words: âJones Familyâ.
