Chapter 337: Fight Between Three Families
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Quince Larson was the biggest joke of the entire city. He was absolutely incapable but enjoyed pretending to be a rich young master. He had once been in charge of the Larson Corporation, but he had run it into the ground within a month! In the end, the company was acquired.
For some reason, he managed to secure ten billion dollars’ worth of funds and established a mega company. Unfortunately, he was truly useless, and nobody in San Francisco was willing to even work with him.
Although he had been throwing cash out to try and secure contacts, nobody had actually signed any contracts with him. As such, Willow Stone was headed for his company to solve this problem.
…
Quince Larson’s company, the chairman’s office.
Quince Larson slammed the document on the desk. “These b*stards! I’m already offering five times that amount, yet none of them have agreed to work with me! They all say that they’ll think about it.”
Eleanor Larson was in the office too.
To be honest, the cousins’ standards of living had improved after receiving that sum of money. However, this wasn’t the only thing they were after.
They wanted to make a name for themselves and crush Yvette Larson under their feet, yet they had been unable to do so.
“Don’t get angry over this. They’re idiots.”
Just then, his assistant rushed into the room.
Quince Larson was already on the verge of bursting out into anger. Now that his assistant had barged in without even knocking, he flared up. “Scram! Why don’t you even know to knock on the door?”
His assistant was stumped, yet there was nothing she could do. She simply shut the door and knocked before entering.
“Come in.”
He had gotten on his assistant’s nerves too. If not for her salary, there was no way she would serve such an annoying person.
“The chairman of Willow Corporation—Willow Stone—is waiting for you in the meeting room.”
‘Did I hear that wrongly?’ Quince Larson was dumbfounded. “Willow Stone is here?”
“That’s right.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Quince Larson stood up, walking straight to the door.
“Hold on.” Eleanor Larson stopped her cousin before walking over to tidy his clothes. “Go on.”
Quince Larson was moved. ‘Willow Stone is such a powerful woman. Why is she suddenly looking for me? Is it good news?’
He walked to the meeting room with a grin on his face. “I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
Willow Stone felt nauseated by Quince Larson’s actions. She wasn’t used to dealing with people like this. “Of course not. I invited myself over; I hope you don’t mind.”
“Of course not. Billy, get us some tea.” Quince Larson then sat down. “Why are you here today, Ms. Stone?”
“Nothing much. I heard that you’ve been looking to collaborate with other companies but haven’t been very successful.”
Quince Larson frowned; this was what was weighing down on his mind. ‘Is she here to insult me?’
“Haha! Don’t be mistaken, Mr. Larson. It’s very normal for this to happen when you first establish a company. Both of us just established our companies, and we have powerful enemies against us—the Gold family and Yvette Larson… I was wondering if we could work together to get business partners.”
Quince Larson: ‘I knew she wouldn’t come for nothing, but I didn’t think that it’d be such a good deal.’
“Yvette Larson and the Gold family are pretty close, and those two families have been suppressing all other businesses here in San Francisco. If we can work together, I’m sure we’ll be able to defeat them.” But inwardly, Willow Stone was rolling her eyes. ‘It’s so embarrassing to be working with such a useless fool like you.’
But Quince Larson had other thoughts. ‘Hehe, weren’t you Yvette Larson’s best friend in the past? I heard that you recently ended your friendship. Isn’t there another one who broke up with her too? It would be nice if I get both of you.’
If Willow Stone were to learn of what this man was thinking about, he would probably be dead by now.
“Alright, let’s draft up a contract then. Once we sign it, we can announce it to the public.”
“Wow! You’re so efficient, Ms. Stone. It’s about lunchtime. Why don’t I give you a treat?”
Willow Stone waved him off. “No thanks. I have something else to attend to and have to rush back to the office. Let’s have a meal when we sign the contract.”
‘There’s no way I’ll have a meal alone with Quince Larson. He thinks too highly of himself. Even if we have to go for a meal together, I’ll invite everyone there in the name of the company. You should look in the mirror, Quince Larson. Who do you think you are to have a meal alone with me?’
Quince Larson had wanted to have a meal with the other, but she rejected him.
He was helpless.
…
Of course, Finn Taylor knew all about Willow Stone visiting his cousin-in-law. He would never miss something like that.
Similarly, Melanie Taylor and Levi Taylor had learned of it too.
“What do you think they’re up to?”
“I don’t know, but I bet it’s going to be interesting.”
“I’m quite interested in that Willow Stone.”
Melanie Taylor’s expression darkened. “Don’t fool around.”
“You’re thinking too much about it. I checked on those people, but I couldn’t find anything on Willow Stone.”
“What do you mean?” Melanie Taylor felt that something was amiss.
“What I gathered was that Willow Stone’s parents are farmers and that she has no other relatives. She left for Europe after graduating college and hasn’t been back until last month.”
“What, is there something wrong? Do you think that farmers aren’t able to migrate?”
“Of course not. The document is quite complete, and Willow Stone was impressive at college. It was because of her achievements that her family was able to move to Europe. But…”
“But what?”
“The information is all fake.”
“Fake?”
“Yes, it’s all fake. Apart from her name, everything is fake.”
Melanie Taylor was taken aback. She had never expected her to be someone like that.
“Well, I’m getting interested in this too.” Before this, Melanie Taylor had had no interest in the fight between the three families because they were all insignificant.. But this had piqued her interest.
