Chapter 795 Lawrence and Jeremy Met
"Bryan, what are you talking about? Jeremy has already gone missing." Lawrence's eyes were fixed on Bryan.
Bryan was also unsure and was about to explain when the elevator in the hotel lobby opened.
Mars and Rock walked out of the elevator, both dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, looking like they were there for a business visit.
But Mars's expression was grim. He glanced at Lawrence walking over. Rock squinted his eyes, and Mars stopped, sneering disdainfully.
He turned his head and asked, "Mr. Harrington, do you think Lawrence is also here to visit the chairman of NexaCore Group?"
"Him?" Rock replied, full of sarcasm.
He had hit Winnie, and two days had passed. Lawrence must have known by now.
He didn't even dare to speak; Lawrence was really not what he used to be.
Rock felt a sense of revenge, seeing Lawrence as a thorn in his side. He elegantly sneered, "Mr. Rodriguez, why don't you take a look in the mirror and see if you are qualified to meet the chairman of NexaCore Group?"
"Exactly, it's really shameless for such a lowly person to come here." Mars echoed, mocking Lawrence in front of everyone in the lobby.
Bryan couldn't stand Lawrence being insulted like this and was about to rush out in anger.
Lawrence extended his arm to stop him, his features cold and his expression indifferent, "Anyone capable can compete for a partnership with NexaCore Group."
"Speaking of looking in the mirror, Rock, you should check yourself first, your disguise will be exposed sooner or later. As for you, Mars, I advise you to keep a low profile. Not every time will you be lucky enough to have someone take the blame for you."
Mars's face changed slightly. At the banquet, he had deliberately set off an explosion to kill Lawrence.
But not only did he fail, but he was also almost discovered and was severely scolded by Ronnie.
He was furious, glaring at Lawrence with hatred, "You were lucky last time, but you will die by my hand sooner or later."
Lawrence's cold eyes remained unmoved, his demeanor showing he didn't take Mars seriously. He said coldly, "The matter between the two of you and me will be resolved sooner or later."
Rock clenched his fists, laughing coldly and arrogantly, "What are you fantasizing about? Do you think that by meeting the chairman of NexaCore Group today, the Rodriguez Group will turn around?"
"In my opinion, you're dreaming, Lawrence. Let me tell you, Mr. King won't see you, and there's no need for you to go up and embarrass yourself."
After saying that, Rock waved to the hotel lobby manager.
"Mr. Harrington, what can I do for you?" The manager immediately walked over, looking ingratiating.
Rock pointed at Lawrence, sneering, "This man is almost bankrupt, and he wants to go to your presidential suite to bother Mr. King. Manager, you better keep an eye on him and don't let him sneak up there and cause trouble for your hotel."
Bryan couldn't stand it anymore, "Rock, we have an appointment. We received a call from Mr. King's secretary!"
"An appointment? With Lawrence?" Mars sneered, "Don't lie. Many big companies in Trento City have tried to visit Mr. King but were all rejected. You say you have an appointment and can get a meeting? Who would believe that? We all made appointments. Mr. King didn't even review the bids from me and Mr. Harrington, and you think you can?"
The lobby manager saw that Mars was the hotshot from the Peterson Group, the new number one in Veridiania.
He immediately frowned, "Mr. Rodriguez, please do not disturb our esteemed guests and leave immediately!"
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and leave."
Mars, hating Lawrence to the core, gleefully ordered, "Manager, I think they are trying to stay here. It's better to call security to kick them out."
Bryan was furious, and Lawrence's eyes finally turned icy. His cold, deep eyes swept over the manager, his tall and imposing figure in a well-fitted suit making the manager shiver inexplicably.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit hurriedly walked over from the elevator.
Seeing Lawrence, the man smiled, "Mr. Rodriguez, you're here. Why aren't you going up? Mr. King is waiting for you."
Lawrence was momentarily stunned upon seeing the man's face.
Half a month ago, he had driven Sidney to the Rodriguez Family and had collided with this driver on Camellia Mount Road.
At that time, Adam was sitting in the back seat and had waived his compensation.
"It's you?" Lawrence said coolly and politely.
"You remember me?" The driver smiled, glancing at Mars and Rock.
Mars immediately recognized the driver as the one who had stopped him and Rock from getting in earlier.
He had stopped them but personally came down to invite Lawrence up.
Thinking of what had just happened, Mars's face turned pale, and he asked unwillingly, "What's going on with you? Why did you say Mr. King wasn't here when we visited earlier?"
He added, "Did you not understand, or did Mr. King not understand who Lawrence is? The Rodriguez Group is no longer what it used to be. The Peterson Family is now the number one group in Veridiania!"
The driver glanced at him coldly and smiled, "Mr. Martin, you've come many times, and Mr. King has refused to see you and Mr. Harrington. Don't you understand what that means? Saying Mr. King wasn't here was just a polite way of putting it."
"You..." Mars couldn't believe that Adam would dare to treat him so dismissively, given that the Peterson Family was now the top family.
"Some people just take themselves too seriously," Lawrence said.
Mars's eyes turned dark with anger, glaring at the driver, "Look down on Trento City's number one Peterson Group? Fine, go tell Mr. King not to regret it in the future."
He said this and walked away in large strides.
Rock gave Lawrence a meaningful look. Why was Adam willing to see him?
He frowned and looked upstairs, puzzled, and then followed Mars out.
However, he wouldn't be like Mars, unable to handle being snubbed.
The Harrington Group didn't want to give up on Adam, even if it meant securing a small partnership, which would greatly impact the future of the Harrington Group.
Rock had found out that NexaCore Group was actually the top enterprise supporting the president in Veridiania. It was so low-key that the world didn't know its true strength. Moreover, he had also discovered that Adam was not the only director of NexaCore Group; there was a very mysterious big boss behind him.
But the big boss had never shown his face.
On the surface, Rock followed the Peterson Family, but secretly, he wanted to win over the big boss behind NexaCore Group.
Meanwhile, Lawrence followed the driver to the top-floor presidential suite.
The driver stopped Bryan, saying mysteriously, "Sorry, the person inside only wants to see Mr. Rodriguez."
"Isn't Mr. King inside?" Lawrence frowned and asked.
At that moment, a tall figure appeared in the open doorway, backlit, and a familiar voice, tinged with excitement, called out, "Lawrence, it's me."
"Jeremy!" Lawrence was shocked and quickly walked in. Seeing Jeremy's face, he said hoarsely, "What are you doing here?"
Jeremy smiled and opened his arms to hug him, "Lawrence, I'm back!"
