So, ghosts have always been the spiritual totem of the Ghost Sect, and the followers of the Ghost Sect highly revere ghosts. Because of their reverence for ghosts, followers dislike dealing with living non-believers, focusing all their efforts on ghost-related matters. This is one of the reasons why they remain so secretive.
The Ghost Sect can be described as an existence that is neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil. They don’t actively provoke others, but if someone provokes them, their retaliation can be extremely crazy and terrifying.
After listening to Jamie’s narration, Patrick felt a chill in his heart, thinking that this poison technique was indeed quite evil.
“Master Jamie, she’s already under your poison, right?” Patrick glanced again at Sophia in the rearview mirror and asked.
Jamie shook his head, “I haven’t applied poison to her yet; I just made her temporarily lose consciousness.”
“Temporarily lose consciousness?” Patrick’s wicked thoughts surfaced again, and he chuckled, “Master Jamie, when she wakes up, I should have no problem with her, right?”
“Mr. Gregory, the word ‘lust’ comes with consequences. Do you really want to have your way with this woman?” Jamie grinned wickedly.
“Master Jamie, I won’t hide it from you. I’ve had my fair share of women, but a top-tier beauty like Sophia, I’ve never encountered before.”
“Don’t be fooled by the fact that she’s a married woman. There is reliable information that she has never consummated her marriage with her leech-like husband. A married woman who is still a virgin is a rare find among mature women!”
“Understood.” Jamie stroked his chin, “How about this? After meeting Mr. Henley later, discuss this matter with him. If he agrees, I’ll let this woman willingly engage in such activities with you.”
“Really?” Patrick was overjoyed, “Thank you so much, Master Jamie.”
Although Sophia was Bruno’s cousin, Patrick knew that their relationship was very bad. Bruno wished Sophia dead, so he spent a lot of money to hire Jamie to deal with her.
Therefore, getting Bruno to agree to Patrick and Sophia’s intimate affair should be no problem at all.
In the parking lot of the Henley family mansion in Huntstone City, Bruno was anxiously waiting.
After the last family meeting, when Logan from Hengfeng Bank and Alvin from Herbal Magic Cosmetics Company left, Bruno felt that he only had two options.
The first option was to compromise with Sophia, lift her suspension, and restore her position as the general manager. This way, the issues with Herbal Magic Cosmetics Company would be resolved, and Sophia’s cosmetics company would continue to bear the loan from Hengfeng Bank. After all, the ultimate purpose of the loan was to address the equity crisis facing Sophia’s cosmetics company.
The second option was to make Sophia disappear from this world. Although Alvin claimed the exclusive agency cooperation was because of Sophia, businessmen are profit-driven. Once Alvin found out that something happened to Sophia, he would not continue managing Sophia’s cosmetics company and would likely choose to continue the cooperation. Bruno believed that no one would pass up on money.
Moreover, on the bank’s side, as long as the entire group and its subsidiaries operated well with the ability to repay the loan, there would still be room for mediation, and the situation would not spiral out of control.
To be honest, the second option was riskier.
However, to firmly grasp the power of chairman and family head, to eliminate the hatred against Sophia, and to completely control Sophia’s cosmetics company, Bruno ultimately chose the second option.
After more than ten minutes, the eagerly awaited car finally appeared.
As the car came to a stop, Bruno rushed up without hesitation.
Patrick opened the door of the driver’s seat and climbed out of the car.
“Mr. Gregory, how did it go? Did you succeed?” Bruno asked eagerly.
Patrick smiled and pointed to the back seat of the car.
Bruno quickly leaned over to look and saw a woman lying on the back seat. It was Sophia.
Seeing Sophia with his own eyes, Bruno’s anxious heart finally settled.
Jamie opened the car door and got out, also opening the rear door.
Sophia’s devil-like figure was exposed to Patrick and Bruno.
Patrick’s gaze was fixed on Sophia’s body, and he subconsciously swallowed saliva.
Bruno noticed Patrick’s actions, his eyes turned, and he asked, “Mr. Gregory, you’re not falling for Sophia, are you?”
“Mr. Henley, who wouldn’t like a beauty? Especially a beauty like Sophia. Even if it means dying under her skirt, I’d be willing!” Patrick didn’t conceal his thoughts.
“She is Leo’s wife. If you dare to do anything to her, aren’t you afraid Leo will kill you?” Bruno deliberately asked.
“Tsk, that leech, I don’t care about him at all!” Patrick showed a fearless expression. “Mr. Henley, we’ve captured Sophia. Can you fulfill my wish?”
Bruno didn’t care about Sophia’s innocence at all and asked in confusion, “On the way here, didn’t you let Master Jamie drive while you had some ‘car fun’ yourself?”
“Mr. Henley, I don’t like playing dead. I prefer the living, especially those with interactive elements.” Patrick’s face became even more wicked.
Bruno frowned, “Are you suggesting that you’ll wake Sophia up and then assault her?”
“No,” Patrick shook his head. “If a woman is unwilling, resisting her is no fun. On the way here, I’ve already discussed with Master Jamie. As long as you nod in agreement, he’ll use poison on Sophia. This way, Sophia will willingly engage in passionate interaction with me.”
Seeing Bruno’s contemplative expression, Patrick added, “Mr. Henley, as long as you agree, I’m willing to give you a personal five percent stake in Spring Wind Cosmetics.”
“Mr. Gregory, from what I know, since the last time your joint acquisition of Sophia’s cosmetics company’s equity failed, your company’s shares have become worthless. Five percent may sound like a lot, but in reality, it’s not much.” Bruno directly pointed out.
Embarrassed by Bruno’s words, Patrick blushed and could only appeal to emotions, saying, “Mr. Henley, we’re good friends. I’ve helped you a lot today. I don’t want anything else, just that small request I mentioned earlier. Please fulfill it.”
Bruno knew Patrick was acting impulsively, looked at Jamie, and asked, “Master Jamie, can you really apply a poison that allows someone to do whatever they want?”
“No problem at all,” Jamie said confidently.
After thinking for a while, Bruno turned to Patrick and said, “Sophia can’t move for now. Lock her in the basement. Once we’ve dealt with that useless Leo, I’ll let you have your way with her.”
