“Dylan, can you speak louder? I can’t hear you clearly,” Alberto said calmly as he sat on the sofa.
“You!” Dylan glared at Alberto fiercely and was unable to vent his anger.
Clark also looked at Alberto with a cold gaze. Normally, he would have cursed out loud. But now, he could only endure it because of this situation.
“Speak louder!” Clark yelled at Dylan.
Dylan was unwilling and clenched his fists tightly. He gritted his teeth and said, “Uncle Cedric! Aunt Lillian! Dayanara! I’m sorry. I made a mistake this time! I hope you can forgive me!”
Lillian and Cedric exchanged glances and did not say anything.
Clark smiled when he saw that Cedric’s family had no intention of pursuing the blame. “Cedric, Lillian, I told you that Dylan was plotted by someone outside. That is why he did such a foolish thing. In front of all of you, he is still respectful.”
“It has also been a long time since I came to your house as a guest. So, I brought two small gifts.” Clark smiled and took out two little white jade lions from the gift box and placed them on the table.
This pair of white jade lion cubs were exquisite in workmanship and high-quality jade materials. It was obvious that they were high-grade goods at a glance.
Cedric was from a jewelry and jade family. He could see at a glance that the total value of this pair of jade lions was no less than 500, 000 yuan.
“Clark, you regard me as an outsider. Why are you bringing such an expensive gift as a guest here? I can’t accept it,” Cedric said politely.
“Well, this is just a little thing,” Clark said, “Dylan did something wrong this time, and he almost destroyed Dayanara’s project. This is also my apology. You should accept it.”
“This…” Cedric looked at Lillian worriedly.
Lillian frowned slightly. She did not think about how to deal with Clark.
“Vice President Clark, do you want to exonerate Dylan just by taking these two trashy things?” Alberto said calmly, “Dayanara is a famous designer in the jewelry industry in Manley Province. The works she designed are worth hundreds of millions. Will she be satisfied with these things?”
Clark’s face was ghastly pale. He wished he could go up and slap Alberto.
This man was meddlesome! A cowardly son-in-law dared to order him.
“This is just an extra prize,” Clark forced a smile and said, “This time, Dayanara is promoted to Group Director. As her Uncle, I should also give her gifts to celebrate for her.”
“The one million yuan is just a gift for Dayanara’s promotion! I hope Dayanara is magnanimous and won’t hold Dylan’s responsible.” Clark smiled and put a suitcase on the table.
He opened his suitcase, which was filled with red banknotes, several large stacks.
“Dylan, you’re a big brother. Look at how promising Dayanara is. You should learn from her in the future. Don’t just enjoy yourself with feasting and other kinds of entertainment,” Clark said with a serious expression.
Looking at the pile of money on the table, Lillian and her husband’s eyes lit up and they hesitated.
“Dayanara, your Uncle Clark has done so much. He is also sincere enough. You think…” Lillian was also uncertain and asked her daughter for her opinion.
Dayanara looked worried and could not make up her mind. It wasn’t that she was attracted by one million yuan, but that she was not good at worldly wisdom. She had wanted to teach Dylan a hard lesson, but she was also a little afraid that Dylan’s family would retaliate in the future.
Clark laughed in his sleeve and heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at this situation, Cedric’s family was planning to compromise. As he had expected, Cedric’s family had been poor for a long time. Just one million yuan placed on the table was enough to tempt them and buy them over.
As long as this crisis was resolved now, there would be plenty of opportunities to regain face in the future.
“Vice President Clark, do you think that Dayanara has never seen the world before? You want to settle this thing with a million yuan? Do you know how much the stolen jewelry is worth?” Alberto calmly said as he sat on the sofa.
“Take back your money and Jade Lion! Like I said before, Dayanara is a famous jewelry designer in Manley Province now. She is dissatisfied with the gifts of yours!”
“Alberto! You!”
Clark was extremely angry. He stood up and glared at Alberto fiercely, trying to use his momentum to suppress this loser. But Alberto was unexpectedly not afraid.
The matter was about to be settled soon, but this loser caused trouble again. Sooner or later, he would find an opportunity to cripple him!
A loser son-in-law of the Mcconnells dared to be presumptuous in front of him, the Mcconnells’ ruler. Alberto was incurably stupid.
“Cedric, Lillian. What this loser Alberto said is also your idea?” Clark said in a deep voice. He was so angry that he couldn’t control his emotions anymore. “Is it his turn to talk when we are talking?”
“This?” Lillian frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Cedric.
Normally, if Alberto dared to interrupt like this, she would be indiscriminately scolding Alberto.
However, what Alberto said wasn’t wrong with the current situation. His words made Clark so angry.
Lillian said, “Clark, this happened in the company. Cedric and I don’t know the exact situation. We have to let Dayanara make a decision. Alberto is Dayanara’s assistant. What he says is what Dayanara means.”
“Dayanara, I held you when you were a kid and watched you grow up. Don’t you even spare my feelings?” Clark said solemnly as he tried to soften Dayanara.
“Business is business. Vice President Clark, Dylan is trying to encroach on the property of the Group. I think I should hand over this recording evidence to the board of directors tomorrow. Let the all shareholders of the board of directors listen to it and decide how to deal with it,” Alberto said casually.
Clark was so angry that he almost wanted to kill Alberto. He endured not going up to slap Alberto.
Alberto’s words were like a knife which stabbed into his heart. This was what he feared the most.
Clark stared coldly at Alberto and said fiercely, “Then, what exactly do you want?”
“I just don’t think you’re sincere enough,” Alberto said calmly, “Show some sincerity and ask Dylan to kneel down and apologize.”
“Fuck you! You loser, I’m going to find someone to kill you next time!” Dylan cursed loudly. Blue veins stood out on his temples.
“Dayanara, Mom and Dad, this is Dylan’s attitude. Do you think we can forgive him?” Alberto said slowly.
“Alberto, you’re a fucking villain!” Dylan was extremely angry, “A loser like you dares to challenge me! Don’t let me catch you in the future!”
“So, there’s no need to talk about it?” Alberto said calmly, picking up the watermelon on the table and taking a bite.
Clark was trembling with Alberto’s anger. He turned around and angrily scolded Dylan, “Shut up, you idiot!”
