Kieran strode in with a darkened face.
Seeing Noel’s attitude, the receptionist could finally determine that this young man was surprisingly the real proprietor behind the scene.
All along, this company had been operating independently here. It was also very low-profile as no one behind the scene had ever come.
Now, the proprietor suddenly came. She had a hunch that this was definitely not a simple inspection. Something big would happen.
Noel sincerely led Kieran to his office and made a cup of tea nimbly.
He stood in front of Kieran very respectfully.
“Sir, why do you suddenly come here without notifying me in advance so that I can prepare to welcome you.”
Kieran sat on the sofa and said directly without any delay.
“I’ll take over this company from now on.”
Noel was astonished, “Sir, are you going to do something? This company is a small company arranged in City N and has always existed invisibly. Its purpose is just to know the situation in City N. If it isn’t a big deal, it’s best to try not to reveal the difference of the company.
Since you want to take over it, is there something you want to do?”
Once he started to use this company to do things, their efforts of keeping low-profile and invisible for so many years would be all exposed.
In the future, it was impossible to continue to be invisible and it would be noticed by many forces.
Kieran’s eyes looked icy-cold and he said word by word as if the words were bitten before being uttered.
“I want to make the Hawkins family become the past tense in City N.”
“Huh?”
Noel was shocked and he could not believe, “Sir, is the Hawkins family you’re talking about the Hawkins family in which Ernest Hawkins is the head of?”
‘That is the overlord of City N!’
Kieran sneered, “If it weren’t him, would I need to do it personally?”
And if he attempted to do it, he must let Ernest die.
Noel had cold sweat on his forehead and his expression looked serious, “Sir, this matter is too big. The Hawkins family is an ingrained big force in City N, it isn’t too much to say that it has the ability to control the entire city. Although the proprietor is also powerful, our foundation in City N is too low. It’s really a little hard to defeat the Hawkins family. Moreover, it is costly and the loss isn’t worth it.”
It could be said that it was a deal that would certainly bring loss and no profit.
A businessman generally would not do such a thing to the detriment of others and also without any benefit.
“Are you questioning my decision?”
Kieran angrily picked up the teacup and threw it at Noel.
The tea was just poured so it was still very hot. It instantly soaked into Noel’s clothes and scalded his skin.
Noel’s face changed drastically in pain but he did not dare to look at his wound. He hastily bent over ninety degrees and apologized.
“Sorry sir, I shouldn’t have overstepped.”
Kieran’s face darkened and ordered coldly, “If there is another time, you will have to get lost. Now immediately call everyone in the entire company and have them start attacking the Hawkins Group. I want to see the Hawkins family fall as quickly as possible.”
Noel’s forehead was with cold sweat and he said very softly.
“Sir, we don’t have quite enough reserve fund…”
The amount of money needed to deal with the Hawkins family was simply too much to even think about.
Kieran threw his wallet onto the table and his voice was extremely cold, “Use my money, it’s enough to buy half of City N.”
This money coupled with the operation of the financial company was enough to make Ernest face a big crisis.
Under reasonable use, the business war was just a game of money.
Noel looked at that wallet. Although he felt it was reasonable, he was still shocked.
‘So, this is the financial power of the proprietor’s son. His money is enough to buy the entire City N, what kind of power is that?’
‘If the proprietor uses his power also, they will be able to conquer the entire City N just by using money.’
‘Changing the ruler of City N seems not an impossible thing.’
Noel abruptly had confidence again and said seriously.
“I’ll handle it now. We’ll definitely use an irresistible thunder-like power to make the Hawkins family suffer an irredeemable and major blow.”
Kieran’s face darkened and his lips curled into an evil smile.
‘Ernest Hawkins, I would like to see how many days you can still be arrogant.’
‘It’s just a small City N, he’ll just destroy it!’
‘On the day when the ruler is changed, he’ll make Ernest kneel to him and cry.’
…
After Ernest and Florence had exasperated Kieran at the hotel, they also went together to move their belongings to live in Phoebe’s house.
The first reason was for Phoebe’s safety. Now, they completely had a falling-out with Kieran whom they were not sure about what was his true power so they had to prevent him from using dirty means to hurt or even kidnap Phoebe.
So, with Florence and the others living here, it could ensure that Phoebe was not harmed since Ernest and Stanford were exceptional at martial arts.
The second reason was to create the illusion that Stanford and Phoebe were living together to further infuriate Kieran.
He was now single-mindedly trying to get Phoebe. After knowing that Phoebe was living in the same house with Stanford, he would certainly get angrier. The angrier he was, the more likely he would do something impulsively.
And the consequence of doing things impulsively was that his weakness would be revealed and targeted.
When Florence and the others brought their luggage to the villa, Phoebe was already standing inside the door waiting.
She stood still and her face tensed up and looked nervous.
The person who made her nervous was Stanford.
She originally thought that after saying goodbye in the Frasers’ Mansion, the relationship between her and Stanford would be completely cut and they would not have the opportunity to meet each other again.
But unexpectedly, now she not only met him but also actually had to live together.
And he would even be living in her house.
The man she could not reach would live in her house together with her for quite a while.
Just thinking about it, she did not know how to react and how to behave.
It was all like a dream that made her mind go blank and she was caught off guard.
“Phoebe, why are you still standing there? Quickly go out to welcome them and help to take the luggage in.”
Roan quickly walked out of the villa and cheerfully welcomed them.
He was in favour of the matter that Florence and the others would be staying with them for a while.
In this way, Phoebe would have time to be with Collin.
If this pair of young couple lived together every day, there would be chemistry and maybe one day she would get pregnant with his little grandson in her belly.
By that time, even if Phoebe wanted to procrastinate, she also had to get married due to the child.
He felt incomparably wonderful when just thinking about it. It looked like his daughter was about to get married.
“Come, come, give me the suitcase, I’ll help you guys take it.”
Roan walked over. Although he said he wanted to help them take, he only had two hands. So, he first reached out to Collin and enthusiastically wanted to help Collin to take his suitcase.
Collin was dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on, why does Roan treat him so specially and kindly.’
‘Which part of him is he fond of, he’ll just change it.’
Sensing the sudden coldness next to him, Collin hurriedly held his suitcase tightly and said with a stiff smile.
