There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. The caller clearly did not expect the chairman of Universal Group to be so
straightforward..
âYes, heâs my half-brother,â came the subdued response.
Fabian lifted the glass from the coffee table, swirled the red wine inside, and asked in a deep voice, âHow do you plan to resolve this?â
The Charlie familyâs strength was comparable to that of the Childe family. This inconvenience needed to be resolved.
âThereâs a saying in your country, âan eye for an eye, a tooth for a
tooth.ââ
âYou canât kill this person,â Fabian responded, his tone sounding a bit
like a threat.
âWe donât necessarily have to kill him. My girlfriend doesnât want to
see Travis and Queenie being sued for corruption. If you help me
settle this matter, I can consider not troubling him!â
âIâll give you an answer tomorrow,â Fabian replied with a frown.
âIâll be in your country tomorrow. I want your answer within ten minutes!â With that, the person abruptly ended the call.
Fabian put down his phone. The glass in his hand had cracked. The little cat in his arms lifted its head and stared at him, its icy-blue eyes narrowing slightly.
Five minutes later, Fabian decided to call Frankie.
The next day, Nash dropped off Hera at the companyâs entrance. Heraâs legs were still weak when she got out of the car, nearly causing her to fall to the ground. Nash supported her gently and expressed his concern, âBe careful, dear.â
Blushing, Hera teased, âHoney, letâs call a truce tonight. I canât take
much more of this!â
Yesterday afternoon, they had done the deed at Universal Group. Later that night, Nash once again went hard on her for several hours.
Now, she was feeling sore all over.
Nash chuckled and replied, âAlright, Iâll listen to you. Shall I carry you
to the office?â
Hera did not shy away and opened her arms. Nash picked her up and
carried her to the office, attracting envy from the onlookers.
After settling down in Heraâs office for a while, Nash received a cal
from Juan. âMr. Calcraft, Iâve left my resignation letter on your desk.
Please sign it when you see it.â
âResignation? Is there something wrong at home?â Nash asked,
puzzled.
âMhm,â Juan replied faintly before hanging up. Nash was puzzled, and his phone was still pressed to his ear. Juan seemed off. Could
something have happened to Miles?
This should not be happening. He had already cured him. Or perhaps
Jack was putting pressure on the Inspection Department?
âHera, I have something to take care of. Iâll look for you later,â Nash
said before walking out of the office
Once in the elevator, he called Lynn.
âMr. Calcraft.â
âWhatâs going on with Juan? Why did he suddenly decide to resign?â
âWellâ¦â Lynn hesitated.
âOh, let me tell him.â Lila grabbed Lynnâs phone and explained, âItâs
because Frankie suddenly withdrew the lawsuit against Travis and
Queenie. When Juan heard about it, he got into an argument with the
man on the spot, accusing him of being cowardly and timid.â
Hearing this, Nash frowned.
Frankie had not informed him about withdrawing the lawsuit, so it
must obviously be Fabianâs instruction.
Could the Graham family and the Charlie family still be connect
somehow?
After hanging up the call with Lila, Nash called Fabian.
Fabianâs phone was with his assistant, who replied that Fabian was in
a meeting. Hearing this, Nash drove to Universal Group.
Upon arriving at the office, he saw Lila and Lynn sitting gloomily in front of their computers. When they noticed Nashâs arrival, they
greeted him.
âWhereâs Juan?â
