Chapter 1704 A Good Conversation

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Michael smiled and poured a glass of wine for himself and his assistant. “Let’s have a good chat with Francis!”
The assistant immediately understood and picked up the call. “Nice to meet you, Sir.”
“D*mn it! Where’s Michael? Let him answer the phone!”
“Sir, why don’t you call him if you’re looking for him?”
“Stop pretending, I know that Michael is hiding from me. Ask him to answer the phone, doesn’t he have the guts to deal with his own actions?” Francis asked, gasping for breath.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying,” The assistant asked.
Francis roared, “Stop pretending! How can you not know that Michael schemed against Casper?!”
“Sir, you have to be responsible for what you say and you can’t slander others like this. We have never interacted with Casper and I remembered that we only had a meal with him. Mr. Davis wanted to gain his favour to hasten the company handover, but it happened a few months ago and we haven’t seen each other since then. Sir, your accusations aren’t true at all.”
When Francis heard the assistant mention the meal, he was so angry that his voice changed. “Did both of you scheme gainst Casper during the meal? How can Michael have no guilty conscience at all!?”
“Sir, please be more polite. Mr. Davis didn’t plot against your grandson. Not only that, but he also served Casper delicious food and drinks. In order to ensure that the collaboration with your grandson goes smoothly, Mr. Davis gave your valuable red wine to him as well.”
Francis understood everything after listening to the assistant and realized that he was indeed tricked by Michael. Francis was so angry that he almost fainted. “You were the ones who did it! You gave the wine to Casper on purpose, didn’t you? D*mn it! Why are you so vicious? You’ll definitely suffer the consequences of your actions!”
“Sir, have you gone senile or have you gone insane? How can you say such things even after listening to what I said?” The assistant snorted coldly and spoke rudely.
“What would we give the wine to Casper on purpose? I’ve already made it very clear. Casper made things difficult for us and he refused to hand over the company, so Mr. Davis had no choice but to bribe him with gifts. You personally gave us the wine and Michael couldn’t afford to drink it, so he gave it to Casper since he would appreciate it more. He was still very distressed when he gave it away because he likes drinking very much.”
The assistant’s words seemed to stab through Francis’ heart and he was so angry that he could not say a word. His hand trembled as he held the phone when he thought of the fact that his grandson had drank the wine he prepared.
Since Casper didn’t have a child yet and there was only a sole male heir in the Gurney family, their family would have no descendants if Casper couldn’t have any children.
Francis’ ears were buzzing. “You… you…”
Michael’s assistant didn’t give him a chance to speak at all. “What did we do wrong? Did you actually spike the wine that you gave to Mr. Davis? D*mn, how can you be so shameless? No wonder you gave birth to such a shameless b*tch like Azalea. Why did you try to plot against Mr. Davis? You old b*stard, were you trying to take over Mr. Davis’ assets with that Azalea’s b*stard son?”
“F*ck, so did you actually know about all the crimes that b*tch had done? Did you order her to sleep with a random man and give birth to a b*stard child? You even planned to trick Mr. Davis into believing that it’s his child! You f*cking old b*stard, aren’t you too vicious? You let your b*tch of a daughter have another child under Michael’s name and you even tried to plot against Mr. Davis. Why are you so vicious? You deserve to die because of your viciousness!”
Francis’ eyes rolled back as he listened to the assistant’s curses and he passed out.
After the assistant scolded him further, he hung up after he heard that Francis had fainted and they were going to send him to the hospital. Then, picked up a glass of wine and gulped it down. “Mr. Davis, he fainted!”
Michael laughed and said, “Okay, let him be! When he wakes up, there will be more important news waiting for him.”
He looked at the time and said, “Since everything is out in the open, there is nothing to hide anymore. Let’s go back to the Davis family and have a look.”
Michael returned to the Davis family with his assistant at 12 o’clock.
Wayne had already fallen asleep, but he immediately got up and put on his clothes when the housekeeper said that Michael had come back.
“I couldn’t get through to you today. What’s going on?”
Michael laughed. “Aren’t I back now? It’s better for us to talk face to face.”
“Did you come back because of what happened today? What’s wrong with that man… Do you think he was really together with Azalea or is he just talking nonsense?”
“Why would he make this up and didn’t he give you evidence? Do you actually believe that Azalea is a good person? What kind of drugs did she give you that made you think she’s innocent?”
“No… Michael, are you joking?”
“Do I look like I’m playing around?” Michael asked back.
“But back then… your mother and I wanted to get rid of that child. Why did you try so hard to stop us?”
Michael laughed and said, “Grandpa, do you really not know or are you just playing dumb? You plotted such a vicious plan with Azalea, that b*tch. I couldn’t do anything to you, but I still have to get back at you, right? Azalea and her b*stard son are my presents to you and I saved her just to take revenge on you.”
“You!” Wayne was so angry that his face turned red, “How can you be so unreasonable?!”
Michael sneered and said, “I just didn’t expect that Azalea would be Francis’ illegitimate daughter, but I don’t even know how you and my mother could be so shameless. Both of you changed sides immediately and immediately accepted Azalea. Since it has come to this, I’ll definitely let Francis cause trouble for you.”
“Was this why you asked Francis to take over your shares? Were you planning on making the entire Davis family go bankrupt?”
“Yes, I want to destroy everything you have and I hope you’ll end up on the streets. Going from rags to riches is a blessing, but losing all of your wealth will definitely cause your demise. I’m looking forward to seeing you live a miserable life!”
“You b*stard!” Wayne was so angry that wanted to smash the teacup on Michael’s head.
Michael looked at him without dodging. “If you’re smart enough and you don’t want to lose everything, you’d better sell all of your stocks early in the morning tomorrow. If you don’t do that, you’ll definitely lose everything you have and I definitely won’t help you when that happens!”
