“President, we can’t suppress it anymore.”
After immersing himself in the situation, the secretary spoke up.
“What? We still can’t suppress it!”
Isaiah Clarke was completely taken aback. Had Landview Inc. taken some kind of powerful pill? How could they be so aggressive?
“How much capital do we have left at Clarke Inc.?”
Isaiah Clarke took a deep breath and asked.
He knew that he couldn’t let Landview Inc.’s stock market surpass theirs because if that happened, Landview Inc. would turn the tables on them. All their previous efforts would be in vain.
“200 billion.”
The secretary replied.
“Then… smash another 100 billion for me!”
Isaiah Clarke gritted his teeth.
There was no other choice.
They had to keep smashing.
Fortunately, when they smashed the additional 100 billion, there was finally some response. The soaring stock market of Landview Inc. began to gradually stabilize and eventually reached the same level as theirs.
“We’re even now? Damn it!”
Isaiah Clarke was going mad.
Previously, Clarke Inc. had an absolute advantage and had even formed alliances with various partners, paying a huge price to bankrupt Landview Inc. But now they were being told that they were on equal footing.
Equalized!
Isaiah Clarke was going crazy.
“Someone, go and find out what happened. How did Landview Inc. go bankrupt and where did they get the capital from?”
Isaiah Clarke roared.
The people below hurriedly went to investigate.
Snowy Houry also looked anxious. She no longer mentioned anything about manicures. If Landview Inc. didn’t go bankrupt, would she still have the mood to do nails?
She couldn’t even eat!
However, at this moment, the instigator of all this, the main culprit, was still in the car, leisurely thinking about what delicious food to make for his precious daughter later.
“Boss, we’ve arrived.”
Suddenly, the car stopped.
“You guys wait in the car. I’ll go down and call someone.”
Robin Bailey got out of the car. However, he didn’t have Jeff Reczek drive to Eleanor Manor because he needed to call someone, Dillon James, his good brother whom he used to wander the streets with.
During those times, Robin Bailey had regarded him as a lifelong good brother, family.
New Life Bar.
Robin Bailey looked at the bar, which was now nicely decorated. It attracted young students and people on vacation. Unlike those flashy bars with constant red and green lights, this was a more relaxed type of bar.
“There’s a bar, and there are others. People can dance and drink here without it being too crowded.”
Clearly, this New Life Bar was unaffected by the conflict between Clarke Inc. and Landview Inc. However, Robin Bailey had heard from Elise Houry that Dillon James wanted to sell the bar and give the money to her. To help them.
But Elise Houry refused. After all, selling the bar would only fetch a few million, which was nothing compared to the billions they had fought for. So she politely declined, although she understood Dillon James’s good intentions.
Therefore, when Robin Bailey came to find Dillon James, Elise Houry did not object. She also quite liked this couple, Dillon James and Emma.
However, after Robin Bailey went inside, he noticed a woman in a black dress with her hair tied in a ponytail. She had a delicate face and seemed furious as she berated Dillon James.
“Dillon James, what do you mean? So many people pursued me back then, but I chose you. And what happened? I stuck by you through thick and thin, bought this bar, worked hard, and then we got a house together.”
“We lived together for four years, and you said you would marry me. But now that I’m back, you don’t want to marry me anymore. And you even found another woman? The worst part is, I did some digging on that woman, and she used to work in an unsavory profession.”
“I never expected you to become like this, willing to be with that kind of woman. I’ll give you one more chance to get rid of her and revive our love. I was your first love.”
The woman continued to curse Dillon James while he sat at the bar, quietly drinking. Emma stood by his side, holding her hands together. Even though the woman insulted her, she didn’t respond because she knew her past and never denied it. But she had never sold herself.
She carried herself with dignity.
“Dillon James, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you really choosing a whore over me?” the woman yelled, even raising her hand as if to strike Emma.
But with a swift motion, Robin Bailey blocked her hand.
Then, Robin Bailey spoke, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Sofia Evans. The one who got together with Dillon in college because his family was wealthy. And right after graduating, you opened this bar with Dillon, even though he never liked this kind of place. He should be the type to wear a white shirt and draw designs, not dress like a thug all day long.”
“Furthermore, let’s get things straight. It wasn’t Dillon who didn’t want you; it was you who abandoned Dillon. During those days, how much money did you lose? You gambled away Dillon’s mother’s medical expenses and this bar. You even accumulated a huge debt. Do you know that Dillon helped you repay the debt? He risked losing his leg for 30, 000 bucks, and you almost died because of it.”
“Now you have the audacity to come back. If it weren’t for Dillon’s sake, I would have dealt with you immediately,” admonished Robin Bailey.
Who was he? The first Battle God of Kisia, a person who rarely spoke so much, but today, for the sake of his brother, Robin Bailey set aside his identity and wanted to clear Dillon James’s name.
Dillon James was not an unfaithful person.
“Who are you? How do you know I’m Sofia Evans?” Sofia Evans took two steps back, looking at Robin Bailey with an unpleasant expression.
Yes.
Robin Bailey had hit the nail on the head with everything he said.
She had been so aggressive before because Dillon James refused to face her, and Emma didn’t know what to do until Dillon James made a decision. So, no one had contradicted her, and she thought she was in the right.
But suddenly, a stranger appeared and struck her right on the mark.
“Robin Bailey.”
“Mr. Bailey.”
Suddenly, Dillon James heard a familiar voice and turned his head to see Robin Bailey. He shouted, “Robin Bailey!” while Emma called him “Mr. Bailey.”
Then, he quickly approached and hugged Robin Bailey, filled with excitement. He exclaimed, “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for a while. I almost thought you had run away. I was so worried. But you finally came back.”
During this time, Dillon James had been worried about Robin Bailey.
“It’s okay. I went to fight and we won,” replied Robin Bailey with a smile.
Not many people made Robin Bailey feel like family, but Dillon James was definitely one of them. They had wandered together for several years, becoming as close as family. When Robin Bailey was in danger, Dillon James always worried about him.
