“ A few days ago , Lincoln Enterprise started a joint project with a multinational company . The work was underway when one of the workers suddenly fell at the site and was hospitalized . He seriously injured one leg . I sent people from the company to offer condolences and compensation , but the worker’s family outright refused to meet with us .
“ The worker then made a big scene about it , which has seriously damaged our company’s reputation . In the past few days , our stock price has plummeted , and the multinational company is already thinking about cutting ties . If they do , all our funds will be frozen , and once the cash flow dries up , Lincoln Enterprise will be bankrupt . ”
Halsey’s heart pounded . She had no idea Lincoln Enterprise was already on the brink of disaster .
“ I’ve visited the worker’s family several times , trying to talk it out. We were ready to meet their demands no matter what . But in
and the eldest one hit me in the the past few days , I couldn’t even get a meeting . Today , the workers six sons confronted me , head with a brick ! ” Cyril went on .
Patricia was furious to hear it .
“ How could they be so unreasonable ? Our construction sites meet all safety standards . Every worker is fully insured and protected . Now that something has happened , they refuse to talk and are deliberately stirring up trouble , damaging our reputation . They even attacked you ! It sounds like we’re dealing with a bunch of thugs . ”
Cyril nodded grimly . “ Yes , that whole family seems dodgy . They’re covered in tattoos . I’m guessing they’re mixed up in the underworld . ”
Halsey’s spirits sank to the lowest point . She was sure this wasn’t just a simple accident . Someone was deliberately setting a trap to drag Cyril and Lincoln Enterprise through the mud .
Trouble at such a critical stage of their cooperation with a multinational company , as well as encountering thugs – it couldn’t be a coincidence . It had to be a setup .
“ I think someone’s pulling the strings , ” Halsey said , voicing what she had been suspecting .
Cyril nodded . “ I’m thinking the same thing . Someone’s making a serious move against our family . ”
Patricia froze . “ Who could it be ? We’re a known family in the Capital . Who could be so bold as to attack us ? I don’t think any ordinary person could pull off such a carefully planned scheme . ”
She was right . There were only a handful of people in the Capital capable of something like this .
Halsey already had one person in mind . “ I need to step out for a moment . ”
She left the hospital room and pulled out her phone , and dialed a number . After a gentle ring , the call was answered with calm , deliberate ease .
A familiar voice echoed through the line . “ Didn’t expect you to call so soon . ”
Halsey clenched her phone tightly .
Gilbert .
She knew it was he behind all of this .
“ Are you the one pulling the strings ? Why would you do something like this ? ” she demanded angrily .
Gilbert laughed . “ It’s complicated . I can’t explain it all right now . Why don’t you come see me ? ”
Halsey narrowed her eyes . “ Where do you want to meet ? ”
“ The Littuane Hotel . Come to the Presidential Suite . ”
