In the villa where James lived, he was discussing with Corey the plan to save Kara at the research base.
At this time, Alfie moved his chair, stood up, and walked to Corey.
“Sir, Simon wants to see you.”
The two of them turned to look at Alfie at the same time. James asked Nolan, “Nolan, ask John about Roger.”
“Okay.”
Nolan nodded, took out his phone, and slowly dialed John’s number.
He could still move now. Although he was slow, he could still do some daily things to take care of himself.
“No problem,” Nolan answered after hanging up the phone.
“Do you suspect that Simon came to me to save Roger?” Corey asked.
James said expressionlessly, “You will know the answer when you go to him.”
Corey nodded and asked Alfie to contact him, making an appointment to meet in a café.
There was a camera in the café. When Corey and Simon arrived at the café, James, who was in the villa, could see them.
While drinking coffee, Corey heard from Simon that he wanted to contact James through him and find a way to save Roger.
Simon looked a little haggard. When he said that he wanted to save Roger, his tone sounded a little anxious.
“Mr. Simon, I’m not familiar with James.” Corey smiled.
“Besides, he still hates me because I cooperated with your brother to take his wife away. So, you must have found the wrong person to save your brother.”
Simon frowned. However, he was a gentleman, so he didn’t lose his temper. Instead, he smiled and tried to negotiate with him.
“Mr. Corey, you said that you offended James because you cooperated with my brother, and my brother was taken away by James. Now I don’t know whether he is alive or dead. I hope you can cooperate with me.”
After drinking a cup of coffee, Corey thought of something and burst into laughter.
“Mr. Simon, I think you might have misunderstood. The cooperation between me and Roger is mutually beneficial. And the cooperation has been over since the moment I took James’ wife away.
“So I don’t have to get James angry with him.”
Roger took Kara away and handed Kara over to Corey. But Simon didn’t know that Kara was taken away by Kason.
Simon frowned and asked, “Mr. Corey, how can you help me then?”
At this time, James, who was watching the negotiation between the two, put his long finger to his lips. After hesitating for a few seconds, he took out his headphones and talked to Corey on the phone.
“Ask him. Over the years, his father has been harsh on him. In order to protect his brother, his father never cared about him. Doesn’t he feel bad about it?”
Hearing what James said, Corey frowned slightly.
It was not because of his words, but because of his commanding tone.
Corey didn’t like others to order him to do anything!
But Corey knew that James was domineering. James wouldn’t restrain his temper even in front of him.
Corey glanced at Simon and said, “Mr. Simon, we are business partners, and we will definitely cooperate in the future. To put it bluntly, in the Larsen family, your father has always favored your younger brother. In order to protect your brother, he must have done a lot of unfair things to you.”
Simon stared at him in surprise. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief. After drinking coffee, he calmed down.
“Mr. Corey, to be honest, my father has loved my younger brother since he was a child. My younger brother is a little wayward and always ignores the consequences.
“But he is not a bad guy by nature. What’s more, I am connected with him by blood. I can’t just stand by and watch him die.”
Hearing Simon’s reason, James twitched his mouth.
James didn’t expect that a man who was unfaithful to his marriage would love his brother.
Donald sat lazily next to James and snorted disdainfully.
“As a matter of fact, Mr. Simon is quite pitiful. I have just asked Alfie to investigate that he once had a woman he liked. Because of the marriage decided for him by his family, he was forced to break up with his girlfriend and marry his wife now.
“But he didn’t expect that his wife was a tough woman. She was afraid that Simon would miss his ex-girlfriend so much, so she killed Simon’s ex. When Simon got the news, he went to investigate and found that there was no evidence to prove it.
“In the past few years, Simon had barely maintained the relationship with his wife. The reason why he got close to Kendra was that she looked like his ex-girlfriend.
“Although Simon pretends to be a modest gentleman, I don’t believe that he has never thought of taking revenge.”
James glanced at him indifferently, thinking that the current situation was not good for Donald, so Donald had to bring Simon in and use the power of the Larsen family to mess up the situation.
James said to the earphones again, “Test him. If you cooperate with him and take control of the Larsen family, ask him if he is willing to cooperate.”
Corey gritted his teeth secretly and stared at Simon. He was sure that he couldn’t be as straightforward and rude as James, or it would anger Simon.
“Mr. Simon, it’s right that you want to take good care of your brother. But I have one more thing to say. I don’t know if I should say it or not.”
Simon nodded. “Mr. Corey, as long as you are willing to help, there is nothing that you can’t say.”
Corey smiled, “Your father loves your brother very much. He has been getting worse and worse recently. If nothing goes wrong, most of his heritage will be handed over to your brother. Maybe he will leave the last word to you, telling you to protect him.
“You’ve been protecting him for more than twenty years. You care about him, but he don’t care about you.”
Simon was taken aback. He tried to hide his pain by drinking tea.
As the eldest son of the Larsen family, he was good-looking and had a good degree. Now he had his own company, but no one could understand his pain.
The woman he once loved was killed by his current wife. He wanted to take revenge, but Vincent had been putting pressure on him, making it difficult for him to make a move.
Seeing that he was a little moved, Corey continued with a smile, “Mr. Simon, now that you have your own company, you can be on your own. Why are you restricted by others?
“Besides, you are the eldest son of the Larsen family. Isn’t it better for you to manage the Larsen family after your father’s death?
“As you know, your brother only knows painting, not business at all. Think about it again for the Larsen family. ”
Simon struggled and clenched the teacup in his hand. He had thought about what Corey had said.
But he had his own worries, and no one else would understand.
Hearing Corey’s words, Simon was still hesitating, while James was impatient.
“Corey, ask him. The woman he loves most was killed by his wife. Doesn’t he want to take revenge? If he rules the Larsen family, he can kill the murderer, and love any woman he wants.”
The corners of Corey’s mouth twitched.
This was really what a violent, arrogant, and ruthless person like him would ask.
“Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Corey. But this is a family matter. Now my father is still alive, and I will respect whatever he says. Even if he really gives the Larsen family to my brother in the future, I will help him protect the Larsen family.”
Simon’s tone was firm. This was the sense of honor that the aristocrats felt because of their families, and they swore to defend it with their lives.
Corey nodded. It seemed that he really needed to add something more to the negotiation.
“I heard that Mr. Simon had a very loving girlfriend before you got married. Do you still contact her now?”
Simon suddenly stood up. Because of this sudden movement, his knees hit the table and overturned the coffee cup. The hot coffee spilled on him.
