Chapter85 Frank's Sense of Crisis
"If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price for it. From now on, I promise that if anyone dares to offend a Harris family member and they act unreasonably, I’ll let them know the consequences!”
Ethan completely ignored the shocked spectators, scanning the room and speaking word-by-word.
His gaze then landed on Louis, revealing a mysterious smile.
Louis felt an inexplicable shiver, trembling all over.
Wally stared at Ethan deeply, holding back from killing this man at all costs. He gritted his teeth and instructed his subordinates beside him, “Take them to the hospital immediately. Let's go!”
Ethan didn't stop them, letting Wally’s men carry Ares and Max out.
“I've truly learned my lesson today.”
With his mouth twitching twice, Wally turned and left, making everyone look at him in surprise.
Was Wally only going to endure it like this?
Afterward, Ethan slowly approached to Louis, smiling and patting him on the shoulder. “Thank you for your warm hospitality today, Mr. Luis. I’ve remembered it, and I’ll definitely repay the favor next time!”
Louis could barely hold his balance, ending up falling on the ground.
“Mr. Wilson, you're joking. Today, it was my inadequate hospitality that led to such an incident. Please don't take it to heart!” Louis smiled awkwardly; his smile seemingly uglier than crying itself.
He was well aware that once they returned and explained the whole story, someone as cunning as Wally would soon link this situation to him!
Moreover, if Frank found out about this, he would definitely not be able to escape a harsh scolding.
“How could that be? By the way, remember to introduce me to that friend of yours next time. I'm looking forward to it!” Ethan reminded while smiling, almost making Louis pass out from anger.
Why was he bringing this up again? Couldn’t this Ethan find a different way to mess with him?
Ethan had successfully left a severe trauma in Louis's heart.
“Alright, as you wish. I’ve already shown you a great performance today! I apologize if its outcome doesn’t satisfy you! Now that the play is over, I’ll see you later,” Ethan patted Louis's shoulder again and said with a smile.
Louis stood frozen in place until Ethan and Sarah had already left the building, unable to react!
He couldn't understand why despite knowing he had already dug a pit, Ethan still wanted to keep jumping into it and making it deeper.
What was this maniac planning?
It was only when everyone involved had left that the people in the hall burst into discussions.
After tonight, Ethan and the Harris family's dominance would surely shock the entirety of Seattle and become everyone’s discussion topic!
As Ethan left Palace Club, he was well aware that this was the effect he wanted to achieve!
“Why did you do that?” Sarah, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and asked.
Ethan replied seriously while facing Sarah, “I did it to stand up for my reward; what's wrong with that? You yourself admitted it before, so why are you asking such a foolish question now?”
“Get lost!” Sarah, who had just been moved by his dominance, was instantly helpless as she looked toward the window.
Ethan sighed, also staring out of the window on the other side.
The necessary momentum had now emerged. The Harris family’s dominance seemed logical in the context of their partnership with RP investments!
However, reaching this step wasn’t enough yet. The next question was how to get Frank and Louis on board.
“You idiot! Absolute idiot! Can't you use your brain before doing something? I asked you to test Ethan, not anger him! Now, not only did you infuriate him completely, but you also offended Wally! If the Crossing Gang comes after you on the street tomorrow, don't you dare call me for help. How did I end up with such a useless son?”
As soon as Frank received the news, he called Louis back and scolded him relentlessly.
Louis had no choice but to listen, his anger toward Ethan reaching its peak.
After enough scolding, Frank gradually calmed down. He lit a cigarette, falling into long silence as smoke enveloped him.
Although he was angry, Ethan's actions today made him feel uncertain and even more uneasy.
After a long time, he suddenly put down the cigar and asked Louis, “Have we found the whereabouts of that RP Investments executive?”
Louis quickly reported, “Not yet. After that woman named Alice appeared at the press conference, it's as if she completely disappeared. Our people checked the records of all the hotels, but they’ve found nothing!”
“You piece of trash, can't you do anything properly? Ethan and the Harris family have suddenly became so oppressive, even daring to offend Wally. Have you considered why? He knew that in the current situation, even if Wally didn't want to lose, he had to smile and endure it!”
Frank's anger flared up again. He took two deep breaths, barely restraining the urge to hit Louis before yelling, “Go and find her right away! If you can't locate that woman, then get out of QU Group and never come back!”
Louis trembled in fear, running out of the office with a disheveled face. Frank sat on his chair with a gloomy expression, taking some time to calm down. He could sense a crisis looming, knowing he couldn't let Shine Group and RP Investments do a partnership. Even if he couldn't seize this opportunity, he had to completely disrupt their collaboration. Otherwise, Shine Group would surely step on him and QU Group.
After returning to the hotel, Sarah immediately called Clarence to tell him about what just happened. She asked in concern, “Grandpa, isn’t Ethan being overly pretentious with his actions?”
Clarence chuckled, “Silly girl, do you think I sent Ethan to Seattle for nothing?”
On the other hand, Sarah was puzzled, “I don't quite understand. Didn't you bring us here to lighten our losses from those two pieces of lands?”
Clarence replied with conviction, “In significant matters, it's not about immediate gains or losses, but about understanding your opponents and obliterating them completely. Ethan clearly sees this, and he’d never believe I sent him to Seattle only for those lands. You can learn a lot from staying by his side, as well.”
His words carried great weight, leaving Sarah deep in thought long after the call ended.
