Chapter 93 Dispatched to Mine in Africa!
Ryder's sudden appearance startled everyone in the meeting room!
Abigail's face turned ugly. "You coward! How dare you come here? Aren't you afraid of losing the gambling agreement and facing punishment?"
Ryder shrugged nonchalantly. "You dare to post videos of yourself hugging a trash can on Tiktok; what's there that I wouldn't dare do?"
"You..." Abigail was fuming with anger.
Damn it!
Andy stepped forward to defend Abigail. "You useless piece of trash! There's no need for you to be so arrogant. Hand over the six million dollars to Grandpa immediately, and fulfill the punishment for losing the gambling agreement. Don't tell me you're thinking of reneging? It's clearly stated in the terms. Reneging won't do you any good!"
Ryder looked at Abigail. "Did you just say that as long as there was evidence of the six million dollars payment, you would admit your mistake?"
"Yes! Do you think you can produce it?" Abigail sneered.
Ryder's face showed a harmless smile as he took out his phone and played an audio recording.
As the recording played, Andy and Abigail's faces gradually turned pale.
The audio contained the conversation from that night, starting from when Ryder produced the six million dollars, to Abigail losing the bet, and finally calling Ryder "dad"!
"Now, do you admit it or not?" Ryder leaned on the office desk, his gaze coldly fixed on Abigail.
Abigail suddenly felt like she was being scrutinized by a wild beast, making her feel uneasy.
Andy, on the side, was naturally unwilling to accept it. He explained anxiously, "This... This recording could very well be fabricated. Nowadays, technology is so advanced; who knows if you did something fishy and created this audio to frame us?"
But for Ryder, all of this was just desperate struggling!
Ryder continued speaking, "You've overlooked one thing, which is the fact that there are additional witnesses for the six million dollars that I gave you, and they are right here!"
"Are you trying to deceive us now?" Andy clearly didn't believe it!
Ryder casually pointed toward Elena and Henry. "In fact, the six million dollars was paid to me by them. They owed me money, and they have the financial records for this. Am I wrong?"
Henry and Elena were instantly stunned!
They thought this was their family's matter. They should have handled it themselves!
Why did it involve them?
How did they owe him money?
Clearly, it was just extortion!
Of course, they complained in their hearts.
But what Ryder said was ultimately the truth!
So, to avoid attention, Elena reluctantly nodded with an unpleasant expression.
Seeing this, Andy was dumbfounded!
No matter how hard he thought, he would never have imagined that the money came from Elena!
It's such a coincidence!
Of course, being shocked and confused is useless.
With Elena's testimony, it has been proven that he embezzled this money!
Bowing his head, he dared not speak.
At this moment, those who had mocked Ryder and Sarah felt a bit embarrassed.
As for Grandpa Johnson, his face was covered in unsightly wrinkles.
He thought standing up to speak for Andy would be enough.
But Ryder played this trick on him!
He was humiliated!
However, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Since this is all a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that for now. The debt is settled. Let's focus on the gambling agreement and the second bidding meeting!"
With a casual remark, he turned the page on this matter.
Ryder didn't want to argue about it either.
After all, the real show had just begun.
There would be plenty of opportunities to humiliate them later!
With this in mind, Ryder walked over and sat next to Sarah.
Just as he was about to greet Sarah, she gave him a cold glare.
She seemed as if she wanted to devour him alive!
What's going on?
Could it be that the misunderstanding from yesterday hadn't been resolved yet?
It seemed like he needed to find an opportunity to explain.
Of course, Ryder would never have imagined that Sarah was actually angry because she saw him and Lily going to the Polka Bar. And they didn't return all night!
There must be something going on!
But in this aspect, Ryder was somewhat innocent.
After the conflict at the bar last night with Arturo and Harper, he had escorted Lily home.
Since it was getting late, he found a hotel to spend the night.
As for how Arturo and Harper were dealt with, it was quite simple.
Lily slapped Harper more than ten times before letting her go.
Arturo, who usually did disgusting things, wasn't so lucky.
He was made to sign a contract and sent to work at a mine.
His plane just left this morning!
The workers at the mine over there were no different from the prisoners in jail.
Arturo couldn't hold his head up after being beaten by Ryder, so staying there suits him fine!
Sophia began the second bidding meeting as the host.
The core idea was simple: to continue discussing the unfinished topics from the first bidding meeting!
Since there were many representatives of building materials suppliers attending this time, the meeting would naturally revolve around them!
Elena appeared confident.
Her gaze swept over those supplier representatives. "Since we are all businesspeople, let's be straightforward. The bidding results of Maple Real Estate this time will greatly change the landscape of Houston's building materials market! I invite all the representatives to discuss before the bidding results are announced.
"Choose an exclusive cooperation partner. The Windsor Group only discusses supply cooperation before announcing the results, so there will be no further negotiations afterwards!"
Upon hearing this, all the supplier representatives present, including those from the Johnson family, furrowed their brows.
The meaning behind her words was clear. She wanted to force the suppliers to take sides in advance.
The Johnson family had recently secured many partnerships.
She wanted to force the remaining suppliers to cooperate with her first.
After all, in terms of capital and connections, the Windsor Group is ultimately much stronger than the Johnson family!
The chances of winning this bid are also higher!
At this point, these suppliers who had originally intended to wait quietly for the results had to make a judgment!
After weighing the options, most of the supplier representatives chose to prioritize cooperation with the Windsor Group.
After all, the chances of winning the bid were greater.
Of course, there were some who valued the Johnson family more and chose to cooperate with them.
Among those present, not a single one was collaborating with Sarah's branch.
Upon careful consideration, only a fool would choose to cooperate with Sarah's branch!
Suddenly, Andy scanned the room and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why didn't Mr. Morrison come today?"
After all, Mr. Morrison was the supplier he valued the most. If he were here to help, they would have much more confidence!
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Ryder, playing with his fingers, smiled faintly and said, "I heard he was sent to the mines. Don't wait for him to show up!"
