King’s Awakening - Chapter 438:
Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Embarrassed? Ridiculous!
Capital City, Robert Group.
Just as White Mitchell had grasped Caleb Robert’s intentions, Caleb was at this moment smugly sitting in his office with his legs crossed, eagerly waiting to see Sana Robert’s downfall.
“Sana Robert, thinking that bringing in an outsider will be enough to oppose me? Seems like you’re still too green,” Caleb sneeringly observed Sana through a gap in the blinds, bustling around outside. The amusement displayed on his face grew steadily.
“Now, let’s see. Will this chap, White, help you, or his wife?
In a few hours, the Jones Family’s third branch’s money will be in my private account, and the Robert Family’s property will also fall into the hands of the Jones’ third branch.
At that time, dear Sana, you will either have to watch Jonah Jones get his foot into the Robert Group, or you’ll have to make a painful sacrifice and abandon that part of the business,” Caleb sneered.
He was clear either decision would deliver a devastating blow to Sana.
The property that he had secretly transferred out was immense, more than enough to shake the roots of the Robert Group.
The moment the money reaches the account, the contract will come into effect, and even the Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn’t be able to save Sana then.
Of course, there’s another possibility: White Mitchell, in order to help Sana, might get the Jones Family’s third branch to return the Robert Family’s property.
But if that happens, the one to suffer the loss will be the Jones Family’s third branch. Then, maybe, Jonah Jones might seize the opportunity to make things difficult. His daughter-in-law, who had just taken up the position as the family’s head, could be thrown out before she even warms the seat.
Thinking about that made Caleb even happier. He couldn’t wait to celebrate with a bottle of champagne straight away.
But just as Caleb was basking in his impending victory, he saw a familiar figure through the blinds; it was an unexpected visitor to the Robert Group.
White Mitchell?
Caleb was momentarily stunned. With a chilling look, he narrowed his hawk-like eyes, “That boy, has he got wind of something? Well, that doesn’t matter. Let’s see what he chooses to do!”
As soon as Caleb finished speaking, he saw a fuming Sana coming his way, accompanied by White Mitchell, heading straight to his office.
Seeing that, Caleb quickly resumed his seat.
Just as he had seated himself, Sana stormed into the room without giving him an inch of respect.
Upon seeing her, Caleb laughed, “Sana, why so mad this early in the day? Have you eaten gunpowder? Regardless, I’m still your cousin, and I’m also the general manager of the Robert Group. Shouldn’t you, at least, knock before entering?”
Ignoring Caleb’s taunt, Sana didn’t hide her suspicion and asked, “Caleb Robert! Did you secretly sell our Robert Group property to the Jones Family’s third branch!?”
Faced with such a direct accusation, Caleb responded with pompous arrogance, “So what if I did? Those properties were under my father’s name; I can sell them to whoever I want with his approval. What’s it got to do with you?”
“Caleb, you…!”
Hearing these words, Sana’s face turned red with rage.
The audacity of Caleb to admit to it! Even though the properties were under his father’s name, his father technically had no control whatsoever over them.
It was just a figurehead position given to them by her grandfather, so they could earn a salary through it due to their inability to make a living themselves.
But now, Caleb had unilaterally sold those properties to the Jones Family’s third branch.
This was clearly an attempt to uproot the Robert Group!
The more Sana thought about it, the angrier she became, “Caleb, are you even human? Have dogs eaten your conscience? All these years, if it hadn’t been for my grandfather’s care, would your families have been able to live like now?
You, a barely passable university graduate, my grandfather promoted you to the position of general manager despite all the controversies, all because you carry the blood of the Robert Family.
But what now? You’ve been scheming to seize my grandfather’s property, even privately selling his properties. Are you still a human? Do you deserve to be one?!”
Listening to Sana, Caleb responded without a hint of guilt or embarrassment, “Sana, don’t start with this BS. It’s been years, why are you still harping about the past? You’re no different from that old man Cooper, never treating us two branches as human beings.
I know in your eyes, we’re only dogs raised by you to guard the door, right? You feed us scraps when you’re in a good mood and cast us aside when we’re no longer useful.
I’ve had enough of this life. Now, I’ve sold those properties, what can you do about it? Go ahead and sue me, let’s see if you can even proceed with the lawsuit!”
“Caleb! You really have let my grandfather down!” Sana looked at Caleb heartbrokenly. This is blood kinship? This is family inheritance? Nothing compares to money!
Just as Sana felt powerless, White Mitchell, who was standing aside quietly until now, calmly asked, “Do you think you’ve won?”
Huh?!
On hearing this, Caleb paused and instinctively shifted his gaze to White Mitchell, inevitably bursting into a cold sneer, “Whether I’ve won or not, I don’t know. But I do know that this time, you’re gonna lose badly!
I know your wife is now the head of the Jones Family’s third branch and holds significant power. But White Mitchell, let me tell you, even if your wife is the head, it won’t help this time.
I’ve sold Robert Group’s properties to the Jones Family’s third branch at an extremely low price. The contract has been signed, and the only thing left is the payment. If your wife dares to stop the deal from going through, then she’s using Jones Family’s interests to help you.
At that time, the whole Jones Family’s third branch may not agree with your wife’s actions. Do you think your wife can hold on to her position as head?”
After saying this, Caleb seemed visibly more defiant and confident. It was as if he was satisfied that White Mitchell was left without a choice.
Faced with this difficult situation, White Mitchell, however, appeared to stay as calm as ever. There was no trace of distress on his face. He then calmly responded, “You played your hand quite well.
But, have you overlooked one key point? What if the Jones Family’s third branch gave up this part of the profit in order to create a larger profit with the Robert Group?
If this were the case, have you thought about the consequences for you and Jonah Jones?”
Bigger profits?
Caleb was taken aback, then furrowed his brows. He stared at White Mitchell hard, “Impossible! Stop trying to bluff! There definitely can’t be anything more profitable!”
