Flynn was certainly cautious about making too much noise and alerting the likes of Nate Black.
It brought Lyra Whitaker into the picture, souring the mood.
But he could no longer stand the sight of Kendal Roy, as well as Lilia and Layla.
Thus, he did not conceal the matters concerning Cloudgate Mountain.
He also trusted that Yves Yancey would handle the situation properly.
Even if they knew, they wouldn’t dare spread it around, for Layla couldn’t withstand Yves Yancey’s wrath.
Not expecting these women to be skeptical, Flynn decided it was best to let Kendal Roy ask the questions.
Kendal Roy scoffed and said, “Asking Cruz about this is as absurd as asking a disabled person if they are a sprint champion-utterly foolish.”
“But I am fed up with your nonsense.”
“Fine! I will ask Cruz, and I hope you won’t deny what you said today when the time comes!”
Seeing that she agreed, Flynn didn’t want to waste words with her and finished his soy milk with a loud slurp.
“So, does Ms. Sharp want to go over? I could mediate, you and Ms. Woods could have a proper talk,” Kendal Roy said, giving Flynn a disdainful look before turning to Rose with a slight smile.
In her view, Flynn’s way of drinking soy milk was an attempt to mask his internal panic.
He probably didn’t expect me to agree.
Ha, when Yves Yancey finds out someone is taking undue credit, Flynn will turn into a blood mist!
See? This is what happens when you speak without restraint! People ignore you like a clown, and you keep making a fool of yourself.
Feeling panicked now?
Realized you’ve stirred up trouble?
Thinking of fleeing Shipmeda State?
Just watch, Flynn will definitely find a secluded place and kneel to beg me not to question Cruz.
“Has Layla agreed to your terms?” Rose asked with a smile, though she felt nauseous inside.
She knew all too well what Kendal Roy was thinking.
Trying to play both sides for personal gain!
Moreover, if she could broker peace between both parties, her reputation would soar through the roof.
Not only making money but also winning fame.
What a lovely thought!
Kendal Roy, with an air of superiority, nodded and said:
“I’ve talked with Layla, and she has agreed, Lilia will also come.”
“Perhaps Ms. Woods is tired of this conflict and wants to settle things peacefully.”
“And now that I’m the helmsman, she’ll show some respect, plus Athena and Layla share some rapport, so it’s not strange for her to agree to sit down and talk.”
Upon hearing this, Rose and Flynn exchanged glances, their lips curling into a cold, mocking smile.
The smile was laden with heavy irony.
Both intuitively mocking Kendal Roy’s overconfidence and arrogance.
What kind of person is Lilia?
She won’t suffer the slightest loss!
She lost billions because of Rose, and such a grudge could not go unavenged!
To the bitter end!
And what about Layla?
Having agreed to help Lilia, she would certainly see it through to the end.
Though Flynn didn’t like Layla, it had to be said-this woman was deeply loyal and feared nothing!
She would lower her stance to seek peace?
Joking!
Only someone as delusionally self-confident as Kendal Roy would think that.
In Flynn and Rose’s view, Layla accepted the invitation for two reasons: firstly, to make connections with Yves Yancey.
Secondly, to flex her muscles in front of the gathered celebrities.
Seeing the smiles on their faces, Kendal Roy said sternly, “Even though Layla is willing to negotiate, don’t underestimate her.”
“After all, she controls billions of dollars, and she will use this advantage to intimidate you.”
“She might demand sharing of two ancient formulas, or a stake in the Sharp’s Group, following her orders, and so on.”
“I think all of these can be considered.”
“After all, you are the disadvantaged party.”
“But rest assured, with me here, I guarantee you won’t sign any unfair contracts.”
“Layla and Lilia can take shares, but only up to 30% of the Sharp’s Group.”
“I will reject the sharing of the Ancient Formula for you.”
“Following Layla’s orders, I think that Ms. Sharp can agree as long as it does not harm the interests of the Sharp’s Group.”
“After all, under Layla’s leadership, the Sharp’s Group will only get better.”
“United, we will surely dominate the Ostrad pharmaceutical industry and go global.”
Upon hearing this, Rose’s expression immediately darkened.
Shares?
Following Layla’s orders?
Kendal Roy, you really dare to dream!
Do you really think you’re someone important?
Maximo is shameless, and you’re even worse!
Flynn, with a smirk barely hiding his disdain, said, “Ms. Sharp, since the second in command has invited us, why not take a look?”
“Alright, I agree,” Rose said with a smile.
At this, Kendal Roy’s lips curled up in a slight smile, his eyes shining with anticipation.
Success!
I believe that under my mediation, the bilateral talks will surely reach a perfect agreement!
At that time, my reputation will echo throughout Niarak, even reaching Shipmeda State!
With my sisters’ protection, I will surely achieve great things!
To become a high-ranking member of the Eight Extremities School, even a deputy headmaster is possible!
“Shall we go?” Kendal Roy looked to Athena Ross for approval.
“Yes!” Athena Ross nodded, stood up, looked at Molly, and said expressionlessly, “We’ll be there the day after tomorrow; you shouldn’t come.”
Her message was clear-everyone dislikes you, so don’t come and annoy us.
Molly, of course, understood her meaning, and said in a low, disheartened voice, “Okay, I…”
“She will go, with me and Ms. Sharp,” Flynn interjected casually from the couch.
“Fine!” Genevieve Everett scoffed, “We’ll see you at the banquet! If you’re a man, show up on time, don’t chicken out!”
“Why would I run? You’re so funny!” Flynn replied, his smile not reaching his eyes.
“Genevieve, no need to get upset over such a clown, Cruz will put him in his place!” Kendal Roy glanced coldly at Flynn, then turned to Rose and said:
“Ms. Sharp, the Niarak branch is in disarray, with much to be done.”
“Since you’ve agreed, we won’t stay long.”
“This Tuesday at five pm, I’ll be waiting at the Peninsula Hotel!”
Kendal Roy stood to take his leave.
Athena Ross led the way, her junior sisters following closely.
Molly stood up, wanting to see her sisters out, but Scarlet pulled her back, her face full of displeasure:
“Molly, don’t get up!”
“They don’t deserve to be your sisters, nor do they deserve your courteous treatment.”
After saying this, Scarlet couldn’t help but sigh.
Molly was completely different when facing her sisters compared to others.
When her sisters weren’t around, she was fearless and decisive, not the least bit hesitant, a dominant force.
The major young men of Shipmeda State were afraid of her.
But as soon as her sisters were present, she became meek and dared not even speak loudly.
It seems her brother’s death had hit her hard.
“Do you know what’s going on with Nathan?” Rose looked at Flynn, somewhat amused and exasperated.
Cruz was a smoke screen she admitted.
But Nathan, Rose hardly had any interaction with him! It was all so bizarre!
