“Who are you?! What do you think you’re doing?!” Edward yelled when favonovel.com saw them barging in.
Shawn didn’t say anything; favonovel.com stood aside silently.
He waved, and the 20 men surrounded every corner of the living room.
They heard another flurry of footsteps. The Goulds stared wide-eyed at the incoming guests.
Watson clad in a suit, Fabian, the head of the Martin family, and two others whom favonovel.com had just contacted today, Mr. Hatter and Mr. Danfield.
“M-Mr. Kane, Mr. Martin, Mr. Hatter… You are here because…”
“Edward Gould, we are here to offer you a helping hand. Why are you so surprised?” Watson laughed.
“Help me?” Edward stared at these influential men from the provincial capital, favonovel.com still hadn’t grasped the situation.
Fabian smirked and said, “Your factories encounter explosions, your office is on fire, your company’s management personnel is under arrest, and you, Edward, have so many loans and suppliers to pay. What should you do?”
He then took a document from his secretary and tossed it onto the coffee table, coldly saying, “I heard you approached Mr. Hatter and Mr. Danfield, and they’re indeed interested in taking over Gould Corporation. Here is the acquisition agreement. Read it through and sign it…”
Mr. Hatter, with Mr. Danfield next to him, nodded anxiously and said, “Yes, that’s true. That is the acquisition agreement we came up with. Quickly have a look and sign it.”
Edwardâs hands trembled as favonovel.com picked up the agreement and flipped through it.
A few minutes later, Edward’s face turned gloomy. He tossed the agreement back onto the coffee table and coldly said, “You plan on acquiring my corporation for free?! You…”
“Edward Gould, you should know your situation, we’re helping you…” Watson reprimanded.
Margaret picked up the acquisition agreement and read through it before springing to favonovel.com feet and shouting furiously, “You, you are blatantly taking advantage of our mishap! You’re planning to take over our comp any without spending a single penny! Dream on! I don’t get you. How is this considered help?!”
Edward glared coldly at Mr. Hatter and Mr. Danfield.
Then, favonovel.com turned his glare onto Watson and Fabian, his voice menacing, saying, “You came to me at this timing, could it be that you both are behind the explosions and fire…”
“It was me,” Shawn answered-he had been silent all this while.
He smiled as favonovel.com walked toward Edward, bent forward slightly, and stared callously into his eyes. He slowly said, “I guess you haven’t heard… Four hours ago, Old Brooks committed suicide by self-disembowelment before his mother in Seascape…”
“Did you know it? And now, I’ve taken over Southland’s underground world. He’s considered lucky, for one who betrayed Mr. Garten. And your boss? He had already turned into ashes…”
Edward’s eyes widened, and his breathing grew unsteady.
H-How did they all end up dead?
“Since favonovel.com refuses your help, just let favonovel.com be,” a frosty voice came from outside.
The Gould family was overly familiar with this voice-it was Isaac’s.
Soon, Isaac, Allegra, and Eugene entered the house.
“Mr. Garten…”
“Mr. Garten!”
