Chapter 195: Three Years Project
When Malcolm saw Chandler arrive, he hurried forward to greet him personally. This man, who normally required an appointment to meet, was now standing right in front of him. Malcolm was extremely excited. "Chandler, please come in," he said.
Chandler swiftly closed his black umbrella. Water droplets from the umbrella splashed onto Malcolm’s face. Before Malcolm could even wipe it off, Chandler suddenly pointed the tip of the umbrella handle at his throat and began advancing, step by step, into the house. The sound of his leather shoes tapping against the floor echoed. Each step was like a merciless stomp on Malcolm’s heart. The scene and the look in Chandler’s eyes made Malcolm’s heart tighten with fear. He retreated step by step. Even though Malcolm had dominated the business world for decades, he suddenly lost all his momentum in front of Chandler.
She could see that Chandler was here to cause trouble for them. "Chandler, let’s talk this out calmly. We’re all family," she said.
"Family?" With a cold laugh, Chandler said, "Meryl has already cut ties with you. How are we still family?"
As his words landed, Malcolm and Bianca both froze. "Chandler knows what just happened? But since when did Meryl become so important in Chandler’s eyes?" they wondered.
Malcolm quickly reacted and gently pushed the umbrella tip away. He knew Chandler was here to stand up for Meryl, so he quickly said, "What cutting ties? Meryl is still part of the Stone family! She’s my daughter, and that can’t be changed!" The matter of cutting ties would be a scandal among the elite. Malcolm would never admit to it. Besides, if Chandler truly valued Meryl, Malcolm would be eager to curry favor with her in the future. Cutting ties would be out of the question!
Chandler let out a cold laugh. His deep gaze held no warmth. His gaze swept over to the torn dress on the floor. Chandler’s eyes grew even colder. "She’s your daughter, but how do you treat her? You're saying—"
Malcolm’s expression stiffened. He hadn’t expected Chandler to see through his intentions so quickly.
"Meryl is my wife. If she asks me, of course, I’d help her family. Forget just a few projects. I’d even consider giving you all of Galaxy Holdings Group’s projects for the next two to three years."
Malcolm’s eyes gleamed with greed when he heard this. "My God! The projects for the next two to three years?" he thought. There was once a company on the brink of bankruptcy that secured a Galaxy Holdings Group project, and it turned everything around. The company became a top player in the industry, lifting all its other businesses with it. "But Chandler talked about the next two to three years of projects… We’re going to be rich…" Malcolm was beside himself with excitement. He already imagined Celestial Ventures Group’s future.
Chandler didn’t miss the greed in Malcolm’s eyes. Chandler smirked coldly and changed the tone of the conversation. "But you’ve upset her today. What should we do about that?"
