Chapter 571 Rudy Contacted Me

"Bryxton is just a small piece of cake, but many people covet it. Among them are many famous people.

When you founded Felix Corporation, your initial idea may have been simple, but it will be more difficult

for you to reestablish your footholds in Bryxton."

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

This question was too direct. Clair, who asked the question, had great faith in Nicholas.

What are they going to do?!

"The Hayes Family has come to Bryxton, as well as Alfred, and Daniel has been going in and out of

Bryxton. If we want the Felix Corporation to return to its former glory, we must unite and exclude

others."

Clair asked with a frown, "How do we exclude others? Besides, Ree's Xenos Solutions is also in

Bryxton, and some of Shawn's influence is also in Bryxton. Now Ree has everything under control.

Why should we bother?"

"The Xenos Family's power in Bryxton is unstable," Nicholas replied, knowing this well.

"Are we going against Ree?"

"I never thought of going against Ree. I can turn a blind eye to what the Xenos Family does in Bryxton,

but the Felix Corporation went bankrupt because of me. I want to restore it to its former glory, even if

the Forger Corporation has to stay in the background. And I don't want Shawn, or any other outsiders,

to dominate Bryxton. I hope that Bryxton remains the Bryxton it used to be. So, Clair, I can ignore Ree's

Xenos Solutions and Ezekiel, but from a businessman's perspective, Shawn, Alfred, and Rudy can

become too strong in Bryxton, and our interests will suffer."

Clair was taken aback. "But Shawn is Ree's husband. Going against him means going against Ree.

We need to think carefully about this."

Then, he asked, "Why do we ignore Ezekiel again?"

"An enemy of my enemy is my friend," Nicholas replied with deep meaning.

Is Shawn Nicholas' enemy? Is it because of me? Surely Nicholas wouldn't think so narrowly, would he?

I suddenly pushed open the door, and both of their expressions froze. I stood there calmly and said, "I

heard every word of your conversation. So, tell me, how are you going to deal with them? Think about

it, Alfred is the richest person in the world, and Shawn is the most powerful. As for Rudy, let's not even

mention him. It's difficult for you to deal with just these two, and what do you gain from opposing the

wealthiest and most powerful people in the world? A defeat?"

Clair called out to me. "Ree."

"Clair, I know that for businessmen, profit comes first, and emotions come second. I also know that you

are always in a dilemma because of me, but honestly, opposing Shawn and Alfred won't benefit you."

I looked at the indifferent man and asked, "Is it necessary?"

Nicholas pursed his lips and asked, "How did you get here?"

He avoided my question.

"Do you have to go against Shawn and Alfred?"

"Ree, although you are suppressing the storms in Bryxton now, undercurrents are still brewing beneath

the calm surface of Bryxton. The situation in Bryxton is not optimistic at all! I admit I can be considerate

of you, but Clair and I must also consider our families and plan for the long term. You will eventually be

unable to suppress them, and Clair and I will be destroyed," Nicholas spoke seriously and heavily.

He seemed to make sense.

However, my heart felt heavy.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm just stating the reality. You and Clair have no way of dealing

with them."

Nicholas smirked. "There will always be opportunities, and besides, I have been waiting for nine years.

Ree, I may not be able to harm them, but I can make them suffer. I want them to repent!"

I asked subconsciously, "Repent for what?"

He replied mysteriously, "Nothing. Don't worry. I won't harm the people and things you care about. But

it's normal for businesspeople to compete with each other. I hope you can understand!"

Nicholas' words indicated that he was going to cause trouble.

"You can't fight Bryxton for now," I said firmly.

"I understand," he said.

Clair noticed that something was off between us and quickly got up to hold my hand. "Why did you

suddenly come to the company?"

"I haven't visited ever since the establishment of Felix Corporation, so I thought I would come and look

when I had time. I didn't expect both of you to be here."

"Okay, it's late. I'll walk you home."

Nicholas bid us farewell. "I'll leave first."

He left the office with a cold and indifferent expression.

His attitude suddenly became aloof.

He was very different from the man I met two days ago as if he seemed to have made some decision.

After Nicholas left, I tried to comfort Clair, saying, "I can't say anything to Nicholas because our

relationship is very special. If I say anything to him, it seems like I'm asking him for a favor, and what I

fear most is to remain entangled with him. However, you're my brother, so I'll be direct with you. I hope

you don't get involved with him, especially here in Bryxton, which is my turf. Besides, Shawn is your

brother-in-law; no matter what, he won't do anything to my family. You should help Nicholas less and

help Shawn more."

Clair was slightly surprised by my words and said, "This is the first time someone has told me that

Shawn is my family. I've never thought about it. Ree, he's a man who always appears cold and scary to

others, so even if he marries you, even if my two little nephews are his birth children, I've never

considered him as one of us, and I never will."

He firmly refused me.

I sighed. "You don't understand Shawn."

Shawn would never harm my family.

Clair told me, "I don't need to understand him. It's enough that you do. Ree, this is the business world!

It's like a battlefield. One wrong move can lead to the loss of everything. And in my eyes, Shawn is

someone I cannot engage with. Please understand my situation. But don't worry. I'm a protective

person. We will always be a family—me, Mom, and Dad."

"Clair, you must act carefully and not put me in a difficult situation. I'll handle it when the time comes."

"Okay, don't worry."

Clair took me away and planned to send me back to the hospital. On the way, Rudy suddenly

contacted me and said he wanted to see me.

I remembered that Shawn had reminded me that Rudy would contact me recently. I had been thinking

about it these past few days, but since he didn't contact me, I thought he wouldn't look for me. I didn't

expect he hadn't given up on me yet.

I also remembered that Shawn had said Rudy wanted to make a comeback, so I answered the call,

"Yes? What is it?"

"Let's meet at your husband's villa."

After he said that, he hung up the phone.

It was as if I had agreed to his request!

It was very rude of him, arrogant even!

I sighed and pleaded, "Clair, I have some urgent business. Can you drop me somewhere? I'm sorry to

trouble you."

Clair agreed, "Where to?"
