Chapter 293 Punished for the Mistakes Made for You
Synergy Global Corporation.
Perhaps it was Katniss's letter that touched Tristan.
He spoke even less than usual and almost only interacted with Ryan at the company.
Eudora was blacklisted by him, and all cooperation documents and matters were transferred by Ryan.
So, Eudora hadn't seen Tristan for a long time, and she hadn't seen Michael for a long time either.
Suddenly seeing Michael appear at Synergy Global Corporation, she felt inexplicably nervous.
She quickly put down the documents in her hand and walked towards Michael, "Michael, you haven't been here for a long time, about that project..."
"I'm here to see Tristan." Michael's face was cold, his gaze swept over her.
His palpable sense of alienation and even hatred was somewhat uncontrollable.
Before Eudora could sense anything, Michael had already brushed past her, and after saying something to Ryan, he went straight into Tristan's office.
On the empty desk, a glass of reddish-brown liquid was refracting brilliant light in the sunlight.
Tristan held the wine glass, casually glanced at Michael, then lowered his eyes and took a sip of the wine.
"You knew all along?" Michael pressed his hands on the desk, glaring at Tristan, "You knew all along that Bella's illness was her doing?"
Compared to his anger, Tristan was particularly calm, lazily leaning back in his chair and meeting his gaze. "I knew a bit earlier than you."
Michael slammed the desk, making a dull thud. His hand instantly turned red, but he didn't feel the pain.
"Tristan, all these disasters were brought to Bella by you!"
Tristan put down the wine glass, his tone extremely calm, "If you insist on thinking that way, I have nothing to say."
"Then why don't you give me the power!" Michael's eyes blazed with fury, "You control The Astor Corporation, sidelining me, what are you trying to do?"
Seven years ago, Bella went abroad because Eudora secretly instigated it.
She wanted to prevent Bella and Tristan from getting married, but Tristan married someone else.
Bella was hurt and couldn't accept it, but it wasn't to the point of going crazy.
Eudora was worried that if Bella came back at that time, it would soften Tristan's heart and they would get back together.
So she trapped Bella abroad, injected her with drugs that stimulated her mind, making Bella gradually lose her sanity.
Finally, she brought Bella back to ruin Tristan's marriage with that woman, and then revealed that Bella was mentally ill. Naturally, the Forbes family wouldn't accept a mentally ill woman.
All of this wasn't discovered by Michael, but deduced based on Eudora's actions.
Regardless of the truth, Eudora harming Bella was a fact!
The Eudora he had loved for ten years turned out to be so vicious, harming Bella and using him!
He woke up to the fact that Eudora didn't like him at all!
But his power was sidelined, and he couldn't even avenge Bella.
"Her goal is to marry you. You and Katniss getting to this point definitely has her hand in it. I don't believe you don't hate her. Why don't you give me the power? I want to avenge Bella!"
He slammed the desk again, striving to persuade Tristan.
But Tristan sneered, "I have my ways to deal with her, and you, too, must be punished for your mistakes."
That night, Katniss almost died under the crystal chandelier, and he had long remembered this account.
It was agony for Michael to see the culprit go free and not be able to seek justice for Bella.
It was worse than death!
"Tristan, you might as well kill me!" Michael roared, the veins on his neck bulging.
The commotion caused Ryan to quickly push the door open, seeing Michael's unstable emotions, he stood by ready to assist.
"You're not worth it." Tristan coldly said, "The day Eudora is punished will be the day the Astor family falls."
In other words, he wanted Michael to hold empty power but be powerless, that feeling was the ultimate hatred!
After speaking, he signaled Ryan to show the guests out.
Ryan quickly said, "Mr. Astor, please don't make it difficult for me."
"Fine, fine!" Michael nodded fiercely, his smile twisted with malice, "Tristan, you're ruthless. I want to see how long you can stay smug. Synergy Global Corporation is almost ruined by Eudora, let's see how you bring it back to life!"
After speaking, he turned and left with a livid face.
Outside the office, Eudora was still waiting. Seeing Michael come out with a bad expression, she quickly approached.
"Michael, did you see the Facebook message I sent you yesterday, so you came to Tristan for an explanation?"
She couldn't see Tristan, and many projects had problems that she couldn't communicate about, resulting in more and more projects failing in her hands.
She actually bore some responsibility!
So she couldn't help but complain to Michael, but Michael hadn't replied.
She guessed that Michael must be very busy, and after finishing his work, he came directly to help her get an explanation from Tristan.
"Michael, actually, the project's issues are also due to my lack of ability. You should know about his bet with Travis, it's understandable that he won't help me."
She grabbed Michael's hand, her face as gentle and kind as ever, "Don't argue with him because of me, or it will implicate you. If you really want to help me, think of a way with the projects."
So, her hypocrisy cannot be called a veil, but a complete mask!
The Eudora he had loved for ten years, how could he see through her layers of disguise?
He used all his strength to patiently listen to her finish.
Falling out with her wouldn't benefit him; perhaps if he endured and strategized, he could still find some opportunities for revenge.
"What's wrong?" Noticing Michael's terrifyingly cold gaze, Eudora was a bit scared.
Michael instantly restrained his aura, pulling out a smile, "I just feel heartbroken seeing Tristan treat you like this."
Hearing this, Eudora breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the hatred in his eyes, she thought he had discovered something.
She glanced around, seeing no one, and pulled Michael into the stairwell.
In the dim light, she changed from holding his arm to hugging his waist, her hand wandering on his firm back, "Michael, I have a big project here waiting for a partner. The other party is a shrewd and experienced businessman, can you help me?"
"How can I help?" Michael didn't react to her suggestive actions, instead, he found her pretentious shyness disgusting.
"Help me arrange a dinner with that partner. You accompany me, he has worked with The Astor Corporation before, he might help me out of respect for you. I haven't met him, and he might not agree to meet me, and it would be awkward since we don't know each other."
Eudora stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips, but he turned his head slightly, and the kiss landed on his chin.
Her body stiffened.
"Okay." Michael said, agreeing, and took a step back to distance himself from her.
Looking indifferently at the somewhat stunned Eudora, he said, "This is the company, so it's not good to be seen. You go back to work, I'll handle this."
"Michael, you're always so good to me." Eudora quickly regained her smile, and they both came out of the stairwell.
She saw Michael into the elevator, and as the elevator doors closed completely, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she returned to her office indifferently.
Meanwhile, in the elevator, Michael's face also darkened, his aura cold.
After exiting the elevator, he returned to his car, pondered for a moment, and took out his phone to call Samuel.
"Arrange someone for me..."
The business news of Velvet City was all heard by Katniss from Benjamin.
Some matters in the upper circles were told to her by Saskia.
Like how the Astor family couple were looked down upon wherever they went recently, enduring cold stares.
How Adelaide went to live in the mountains, and would be there for at least three months.
She talked about so many things, but it was all to subtly reveal some news about Tristan to Katniss.
"Under Eudora's management, Synergy Global Corporation is declining day by day, with one project after another being taken by Benjamin."
"It's quite strange. Benjamin seems to accurately grasp the weaknesses of every project at Synergy Global Corporation!"
"Under his leadership, White Corporation is rapidly moving towards becoming a top-tier enterprise in the business world. Now, Benjamin's name is as prominent as when Tristan first emerged and led Synergy Global Corporation to break records in the business world in just a few months."
She wasn't exaggerating at all. Nowadays, Benjamin's popularity was second only to Tristan's back then.
The reason it was second was because everyone knew Benjamin had someone backing him.
For him to be so strong, it must be because the person behind him had sharp insight and decisive methods!
So, who was behind Benjamin became a hot topic of suspense in the business world.
"When people talk about how inspiring and exciting Benjamin is, they feel equally regretful about Tristan."
Saskia sighed, "People say he was deeply hurt by love, and his life is ruined. Even though he has a good chance of winning his bet with Travis, Synergy Global Corporation will be in shambles by then. Even if he wins, so what? How can he bring it back to life?"
The key point was, from Eudora's words, it was not hard to deduce that Travis had a backup plan.
The so-called lost bet and having had to give up shares to compensate Synergy Global Corporation and the shareholders wasn't that easy.
"Katniss, you understand the business world better than I do. Analyze it for me, what exactly is Tristan planning? Does Synergy Global Corporation have any chance of survival?"
Saskia had asked Nicholas many times, and Nicholas always said he couldn't see through it.
On the other end of the phone, Saskia's explanation made Katniss feel a heavy weight in her heart.
After a long time, Katniss took a deep breath and said slowly, "If things continue like this, Tristan is sure to win. If Travis can follow the agreement and give up the shares, Synergy Global Corporation still has a chance. But if it's really as Eudora said, and Travis has tampered with the agreement and refuses to give up the shares, then Synergy Global Corporation will have no working capital and will be doomed."
Hearing this, Saskia felt hopeless, "Then it's over, right? After all, Travis definitely won't give up the shares. Tristan can't get Synergy Global Corporation, and even if it's destroyed, he won't let Travis have it?"
"Not necessarily." Katniss blurted out, and even she was stunned by her own words.
She still believed in Tristan, without hesitation.
