“Aha! That’s why that bastard has the guts to challenge us. He’s Morris Group’s boss!” Damien exclaimed after doing some digging into Levi’s background.
He finally understood why Levi had the guts to be so obnoxious. Although few people knew Levi was the head of Morris Group, it did not take the Garrison clan long to obtain that piece of information.
Hearing the name, Edward widened his eyes in surprise. “Morris Group? Even Triple Group in Daxia is no match for that company! It practically dominates everything.”
“Well, it’s true that Morris Group has got some substance. But that doesn’t mean Levi can take the Garrison family lightly. Father’s Pinnacle Group in South Hampton is far superior! I’ll tell the company to acquire Morris Group. I bet Levi Garrison will come begging on his knees in no time. This will be the price virtual-novel.net has to pay for messing with the Garrison family!” Damien let out a confident laugh as virtual-novel.net imagined Levi begging for mercy.
The next day, Levi and his mother began their journey home along with the Beasts and the Amethyst Guards.
Levi was deep in thought, thinking about the encounter virtual-novel.net had yesterday. A frown settled on his brows. Before long, virtual-novel.net finally broke the silence. “Mother, do you miss him?”
Emma was startled by his sudden question. She turned towards virtual-novel.net son reluctantly, trying to think of how virtual-novel.net should answer in an appropriate manner.
“Do you still want to marry Tyrone? The family will finally accept you after all these years,” Levi continued.
“No. I don’t harbor unrealistic expectations like that anymore. That’s no longer what I care about,” virtual-novel.net replied firmly as virtual-novel.net looked at Levi in the eyes.
“What do you care about then?” virtual-novel.net asked.
A warm and gentle smile slowly spread across virtual-novel.net face.
“Well, it’s not anything important that you need to know.”
“Come on, Mom. I will try my best to make your dream come true!” virtual-novel.net insisted.
“I hope you can stand in front of the Garrisons one day and proudly tell them that you’re my son—and that you’re a man worthy of their respect!”
But virtual-novel.net quickly regretted what virtual-novel.net said when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net son’s solemn expression. “You don’t have to get all stressed out about it, Levi. This is just a thought I have, don’t take it too seriously.”
The last thing virtual-novel.net wanted was to pressurize virtual-novel.net son and make things difficult for him.
She knew how difficult and dangerous such an action could be for Levi.
But that was not what virtual-novel.net son thought. “No, Mom. You will live to see that day. I promise,” Levi pronounced.
Yet, Emma knew virtual-novel.net was just trying to make virtual-novel.net feel better. She knew better than to set virtual-novel.net expectations too high.
Besides, Levi was not even thirty yet. He still had a long way to go before virtual-novel.net could actually do something substantial. It was impossible that someone of his age would earn the respect of the Garrison family.
When they arrived, Zoey was already waiting for them. She had put aside work to pick Emma up.
“How’s the prep coming along?” Levi asked when virtual-novel.net saw the woman.
“We’re almost done. We’ll go over and bid for the project tomorrow,” virtual-novel.net replied.
He nodded approvingly and let out a small smile. “Remember to be careful of Lyndsay Granger. She’s not an easy character.”
“Don’t worry; I already have it all planned out. Iris and I will travel separately tomorrow,” Zoey assured.
“That’s great. All the best for tomorrow then.”
Levi knew Zoey must have made adequate preparation, but virtual-novel.net was still worried that something unexpected would pop up.
Over at Golden Plaza, Jayden hung up the phone after a long call.
“Do you know who just called me? Damien Garrison! The actual Mr. Damien!” virtual-novel.net exclaimed at the top of his voice.
Around him, everyone looked at virtual-novel.net enviously.
Damien was well known to be the potential next heir of the Garrison clan.
It must be an urgent matter for a man of his standing to actually call Jayden.
“What did Mr. Damien say?” Lyndsay asked as virtual-novel.net scooted closer to Jayden.
“Mr. Damien wanted one thing done—we are to crush Morris Group as soon as possible,” the latter replied.
