Chapter 630: Negotiations Between the Two Little Bosses

Alpha led the secretary to the downstairs hall. From a distance, he saw Levi sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper. Hearing approaching footsteps, Levi looked up. Seeing Alpha, he put down his newspaper, stood, and respectfully greeted, “Hello, Grandfather, it’s me, Levi.”

The secretary-general behind him gasped. “Isn’t there only one young prince in the Augustine family? Why is there another one here?” he wondered. He felt a sudden tension, realizing he’d almost rejected his boss’s grandson. The reason for his boss’s personal visit now became clear.

Alpha, having anticipated his other grandson’s arrival, approached Levi, touched his head, and asked, “Levi, how did you get here?”

Levi offered an innocent smile. “I happened to be passing by, so I came to see Grandfather. I miss Grandfather very much.”

Alpha’s thin lips curved into a faint smile. His calm eyes, however, hinted at a suspicion of his grandson’s seemingly innocent demeanor. “Oh, did we fight in the mall that day? When you took your grandmother away, why didn’t you want to see Grandfather?”

“Grandfather, which day is that? I think you’re mistaken. I can’t remember,” Levi said, scratching his head, feigning ignorance.

Alpha chuckled; Levi mirrored his laughter. “Let’s go upstairs,” Alpha said, taking Levi’s hand.

In the president’s office, Alpha asked, “Levi, why did you come see me today?”

Levi, hands in his trouser pockets, replied, “Grandfather, I need a favor. It’s just you and me, so I can be frank.”

Alpha, sensing Levi’s awareness of his own background, listened as Levi continued, “Mommy’s in a bit of trouble.”

“You want me to help your mother?” Alpha asked.

“No,” Levi shook his head. “Mommy only needs me and my eldest brother. I don’t need Grandfather’s help.”

Alpha finally understood Levi’s purpose. “Levi, do you want to find your elder brother, Nathan?”

“Yes,” Levi replied. “But Nathan and Dad believe my background is unknown, my biological father is unknown, and they even see me as an enemy. It’s not easy for me to go to Dad and tell him I’m his son.”

Alpha sighed. “So, you need to cooperate with your brother to protect Mommy. The battle has begun!” He nodded. “What do you need me to do?”

“Bring him here; let’s have a formal negotiation.”

Alpha found the suggestion amusing. Nathan was also searching for Levi. A formal meeting between the brothers was a good idea. He turned to his secretary. “Prepare the VIP meeting room.”

The secretary-general, shocked at the prospect of two “bosses” negotiating, quickly obeyed.

Half an hour later, the secretary-general received Nathan, impeccably dressed in a white shirt with a butterfly collar and black overalls. His small face was serious. Without looking back, he calmly asked, “Where is Grandfather?”

“In the VIP conference room,” the secretary-general replied respectfully, opening the door. “Little Master, please.”

Nathan entered, his gaze fixed ahead. The long conference table held a black leather chair, slowly turning to reveal Levi.

Levi greeted, “Hello.”

Nathan narrowed his eyes, strikingly similar to Elvis’s. “It’s you? I thought I’d given you time to disappear.” He smiled, however. “I have something important to discuss. Have a seat.”

Levi indicated the opposite chair. “What’s your business?”

“About Mummy,” Levi said, “Have you noticed anything unusual?”

At the mention of their mother, Nathan fell silent. After a moment, he sat.

The secretary-general nodded in relief. The negotiation had begun smoothly.

Levi observed, “It seems you’ve noticed something unusual about Mummy.”

Nathan nodded. “Yes. Last night, I saw Mummy deliberately spill water on herself to frame someone. She’s never done that before. She’s changed; it’s strange.”

“That’s not our Mummy,” Levi stated.

Nathan, after a pause, agreed. “Yes, that’s not Mummy.”

Levi touched his chin. “I wonder where our Mummy is.”

“Mummy is that girl, Sadie,” Nathan said.

Levi received Nathan’s affirmative nod. “I have to admit it. Mummy is Sadie, and she can’t speak now. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn’t dare speak to her at the villa.”

Elvis and Olive’s sons were close to uncovering the truth.
