Chapter 476 This Was Too Lucky
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then Leo's deep voice came through, "Mr. Smith, Sharon probably doesn't want to see my mom."
"Do you think she wants to see you then?"
"Mr. Smith, just because she doesn't want to see me now doesn't mean she won't want to see me in the future. Just like you being with her now doesn't mean you'll always be together. What do you think?"
Seb's eyes became sharp, and a cold aura unconsciously emanated from him.
"Leo, I'm warning you, you'd better not have any improper thoughts about her. Otherwise, even if you're the president of Vertex Innovations Group or the richest man in the United States of Atlantis, I'll make sure you lose everything."
"Mr. Smith, you're so arrogant. I'll wait and see how you make me lose everything!" With that, he hung up the phone.
Seb put down his phone, his face extremely gloomy.
It seemed that Leo didn't want to stay in Metropolis any longer.
In the evening, when Sharon got into the car, she clearly felt that the atmosphere inside was off.
She looked at Seb and saw his unpleasant expression. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
"Why didn't you tell me about Karen coming to see you today?"
Sharon's eyes flashed with surprise, "How did you know about that?"
Karen hadn't made a fuss for long before the security guards kicked her out. He was so busy, he shouldn't have known about it.
Seb's lips were almost pressed into a straight line, "You suffered such a grievance and didn't even mention a word to me. Sharon, do you even consider me your boyfriend?"
"You're so busy with work, I didn't want to bother you with such trivial matters."
"When it comes to you, there's no such thing as a trivial matter."
Seeing the anger on Seb's face, Sharon moved closer to him, reached out, and pinched his face, "I understand. This time it was my fault. I'll make sure to report everything to you every day from now on. Don't be mad, okay?"
"You said it. If you forget, I'll punish you." He deliberately emphasized the word "punish."
"Okay, I got it. I definitely won't forget."
Seeing her repeatedly promise, Seb's originally cold expression finally softened. "By the way, you're not allowed to meet Leo privately in the future either."
"Don't worry, I won't meet him privately."
Sharon had no good feelings towards Leo. In fact, just thinking about what he did five years ago made her uncomfortable. She hoped never to see him again in her life.
"Good."
After returning to the villa and having dinner with Sharon and Demetrius, Seb went out for a social engagement.
Tonight, he was meeting Garry.
Since Leo planned to bankrupt the Bridges Group, he would help the Bridges Group, get them out of the crisis, and then use them to deal with Leo.
Garry was already waiting in the private room. When he saw Seb, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Smith, good evening."
Seb sat down opposite him and got straight to the point, "Mr. Bridges, you probably don't know that your grandson-in-law is the man behind Vertex Innovations Group, and that the Starlight Corporation project was also a trap he set for the Bridges Group, right?"
His words were like a bomb exploding on a calm lake, instantly causing a splash.
Garry was stunned. "What?"
His eyes were full of disbelief. How could Ayla's useless husband Leo be the man behind Vertex Innovations Group?
This was simply unbelievable!
"It's not over yet. The Bridges Group had to sell their game company to save the parent company before. Guess who's the actual controlling shareholder now?"
Garry's face changed dramatically, and he instinctively refuted Seb, "Impossible... How could he be the man behind Vertex Innovations Group?"
Seb knew it was hard to accept such news suddenly, so he signaled Paul to place a document in front of Garry.
"Mr. Bridges, you can take a look at this document first. I believe after reading it, you'll have a judgment."
Garry picked up the document, and after reading it, his face turned extremely ugly.
"How could this be... He managed to hide it for so many years... If you hadn't told me today, Mr. Smith, I might not have known his true colors until the Bridges Group went bankrupt."
Seb's expression was indifferent, "Mr. Bridges, Leo has planted many of his people in the Bridges Group over the years. If you don't get rid of them, he will know every move the Bridges Group makes. I estimate that in less than a month, the Bridges Group will become the Wendy Group."
Garry was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He slammed the document on the table, "He's simply gone too far!"
"Now that you know everything, Mr. Bridges, what do you plan to do next?"
Garry sighed and said helplessly, "To be honest, the Bridges Group is already at the end of its rope. Without the help of other companies, it won't last long."
Seb raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I can help the Bridges Group, on the condition that after the crisis, the Bridges Group helps me deal with Leo."
Garry's eyes lit up at his words, and he quickly said, "Of course, Leo has calculated against the Bridges family so much. Once the Bridges Group recovers, I won't let him go even without you saying it, Mr. Smith!"
Seeing that the two had almost finished talking, Paul took out the prepared contract and handed it to Garry.
Garry took the contract and opened it, his expression gradually becoming excited, "Mr. Smith, once the Bridges Group gets through this crisis, the first person I'll deal with is Leo!"
Seb smiled, "Then let's have a pleasant cooperation."
After Garry left with the contract, Paul said worriedly, "Mr. Smith, after the Bridges Group gets through the crisis, will Garry go back on his word?"
"If he goes back on his word, I have ways to make him deeply regret it."
After saying that, he looked at Paul, "You can go back. I'll drive myself."
"Okay, Mr. Smith."
On the other side, on his way back, Garry looked at the contract again and again, his expression full of excitement.
With this contract from the Smith Group, the Bridges Group's production line could start moving, and they could buy more time.
Most importantly, with the Smith Group as a partner, other companies in Metropolis wouldn't hesitate to cooperate with the Bridges Group.
However... thinking about how Leo had fooled the entire Bridges family, Garry's face turned gloomy.
Back at the Bridges Mansion, he had a servant call Ayla over.
Ayla had obtained the medicine and was racking her brains on how to put it in Garry's water to fake a heart attack. She didn't expect Garry to call her over.
This was too lucky.
Ayla held the medicine, her eyes cold.
She couldn't be blamed; it was fate that wanted Garry dead!
