"Alright, because of Mr. Adler's sincerity, let's… make a deal!" The other party smiled lightly. "The day after tomorrow, I will visit your house, so see you the day after tomorrow!"
Lockhart looked displeased, but had to express his fake joy. "Okay, I look forward to your arrival the day after tomorrow!"
The moment he hung up, Lockhart immediately slammed the phone down on the table.
He closed his eyes to calm his emotions, and he sighed before he recovered. "Son, the day after tomorrow, that person will come. No matter who is with Leonard, this time they have absolutely no strength to fight us!"
"Father, does this director really have such great abilities? Giving him 80% of the profits... Aren't we at a loss?!"
Lockhart narrowed his eyes grimly. "That fellow wanders the gray areas using the most brutal means... If you want to use his services against my brother and Leonard, don't even think of doing it in the most humane way.
"You have to remember, this person is very dangerous. He has huge troops and power in every country and their bases are on the border of Laos and Myanmar, think of them as an opportunist terrorist group. So don't offend him unless you are looking for death."
Luke was surprised. "He has power on the border of Laos and Myanmar?"
Lockhart slowly got up, walked to the window and took in the view outside. "The region is rich in jade, but the local economy is underdeveloped, and most of the jade resources are developed and bought by Chinese entrepreneurs."
"I heard he became rich overnight through a piece of rare mineral resources. Think about it, the jade industry... How many people will put their money and connections at stake? Such an industry is always profitable, but there is also a high risk. If he didn't have real power, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today."
"This... is also amazing. No wonder you are trying so hard to win his heart. Looks like he really shouldn't be underestimated!"
Hearing Luke's rare and strange tone of voice, Lockhart sneered. "Do you think he was able to succeed in this industry because of luck? For a black horse like him, lacking foundation and accumulated time, he can find shortcuts to become rich overnight."
"Moreover, don't think he's just an ordinary businessman who lives on the outskirts. It's not an exaggeration to say he's been licking blood with the tip of a knife. This time, we are developing the mining industry in Bandung, and as long as he joins, even if we suffer with only 20% of the benefits, it will definitely earn us better in the future. What's more..."
At this point, Lockhart's mouth smiled cunningly. "He will definitely bring a strong confidant with him when he comes to Bandung."
"When the time comes, look for opportunities to perform some tricks on the mines,mistake Leonard for trying to get rid of them, thus creating a rift between them. This way, we can gain the advantage of not only making money, but also getting rid of Leonard. Giving him 80% of the profits is definitely worth it."
As the words fell, the eyes of Lockhart and his son met a proud and dangerous cold light.
This other party, in the jade jewelry industry, was known as Frans Ruifan.
...
It was still less than eight in the morning, Lilia and Jean were already sitting in the dining room and starting to eat.
The sky outside the window was a little gloomy, and the dark clouds looked like they were going to rain.
This time, Lilia took a bite of her toast and took a sip of the milk. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he smiled and looked to the other side. "What's the schedule for today?"
The man put down his food, his eyes flickering gently at her. "Want to go out?"
Lilia took the milk cup and shook her head. "No, I asked you and the future brother-in-law's plans!"
At this moment, the man placed the piece of bacon onto Lilia's plate, took a napkin and wiped his hands. "Glen has a project, so I wanted to talk about working with him."
Lilia nodded clearly and took the meat to her mouth, chewing slowly. "Does it seem too intentional? Glen just arrived in Bandung yesterday, and today he wants to talk about cooperation? How will my future brother-in-law feel?!"
After hearing this, Jean lifted his lips and smiled gracefully. "Even if it's not about cooperation, Leonard isn't stupid. He knows the purpose of our coming to Bandung."
Lilia finished and put down her knife and fork.
She pursed the corners of her mouth and sighed. "Okay, be careful on the road, I'll look for Ms. Mellisa in a moment."
"Well, when you're strolling around, always remember to bring Clifford."
Lilia nodded and promised. "Don't worry!"
....
At half past nine in the morning, Jean and Leonard left together.
Lilia remained in her building for a while, looked up at the sky outside, and sent a text message to Mellisa.
At this time, Mellisa did not go to Leonhart's study, but was sitting in the living room of her building, looking at the woman opposite her, her expression remained calm.
Lyn is here!
As soon as Leonard left, she appeared outside the gate.
The butler wanted to refuse, but Mellisa invited her in.
In Mellisa's view, this is by no means a coincidence!
At this moment, Lyn was sitting on the sofa with an expensive leather bag by her side, her arms wrapped around her chest, her chin held up arrogantly.
She looked at Mellisa who was dressed like a maid, her eyes flashing disdain. "Did I tell you to sit down?"
Even though Mellisa's current identity is that of a maid, her nonchalant attitude has not diminished.
She was sitting on a single sofa, playing with a cigarette in her hand.
Hearing Lyn's arrogant and rude words, she opened her eyes and said, "Miss Lyn came here so early just to talk rude?"
Lyn was ridiculed by her, and her cheeks immediately sank. "You really have two faces. While in front of Uncle and Leonard, why don't you dare to speak like this?"
"You don't think I dare?" Mellisa smiled and threw the cigarette in her hand onto the table. "Do you want me to call them to come and make you see if I dare or not?!"
"You..." Lyn narrowed her eyes, looking at Mellisa. "Don't talk bullshit."
Lyn then grabbed the leather bag by her side and brought it to her lap, took a check, and threw it on the table. "Here's three hundred million, hurry up and get out of this house as fast as you can! I bet you have never seen so much money in your life!
"As a man, you've been bugging my fiancé all day and ruining his reputation. I give you this money but on the condition that you leave the Adlers' house today. Grab it and get lost!"
Melissa looked at the check on the table pretentiously. She blinked, feeling a little ridiculous.
This scene really is like the scene of an evil mother-in-law kicking out the poor daughter-in-law!
She couldn't help but laugh at her. "Miss Lyn, you are very sincere."
"I am the future Mrs. Adler, your presence here is very disturbing for me and my future husband! If you still have any shame, take this money and never show your face in front of us again!"
