Chapter 69 Seems to Have Lost
"Lost packages?" Skyview laughed. "John, your information is outdated. Lakeview Express doesn't lose packages anymore and never will again!"
"That's impossible!" John shrieked, "Absolutely impossible!"
John knew the inside story regarding the lost packages at Lakeview Express Company.
It was John who had initially informed Jack that to deal with Skyview, they needed to bring down Lakeview Express.
All of Jack's actions were under John's control.
John knew that Jack had hired Andrew, who was known as an elite among thieves.
John had investigated Andrew and knew that he was a master thief who had never failed since he got into this trade.
With such a master thief, John was confident there would be no problem for Andrew to steal a few packages.
Because of his confidence in Andrew, John believed that Skyview would never be able to solve the problem of lost packages at Lakeview Express. This was why he had no hesitation in signing a 15-million-dollar bet with Skyview.
15 million dollars was a lot, even for a wealthy guy like John.
"Nothing is impossible. Let me explain the whole thing to you." Skyview ignored John and swiped to reveal a photo of Jack introducing them. "This man is Jack, a local gang leader who had been extorting Lakeview Express for a long time. Unfortunately, the previous manager of Lakeview Express was timid and had been extorted by Jack for a long time. After I took over, I naturally wouldn't let Jack get his way. Trying to extort money from me? That's impossible! Don't be surprised. I'm just that kind of tough man!
"After failing to extort money from me, Jack got angry and kidnapped me. But it was useless. I'm highly skilled and smart, so I easily subdued Jack! He was supposed to go to jail, but he had a powerful godfather, the city's famous real estate tycoon, Skyler! With Skyler's protection, Jack escaped legal punishment. At that time, I was busy with Lakeview Express and didn't pay attention to Jack.
"However, Jack still didn't give up. Somehow, he found out how important Lakeview Express was to me and spent 150 thousand dollars to hire Andrew, the famous elite thief, to steal our packages!"
As Skyview spoke, he revealed a photo of Andrew.
"This is Andrew. He's skilled at stealing, but unfortunately, he crossed me, which sealed his fate! Now, both he and Jack have been handed over to the authorities and will face legal punishment!"
Skyview then showed photos of Jack and Andrew, bruised and handcuffed at the police station.
Skyview said to the astonished crowd, "See? Public opinion has turned around, the cause of the lost packages has been found, and the problem has been solved! It only took two days, and the crisis at Lakeview Express is over! This is how I handle issues. John, now, do you admit defeat?"
"Well done! Mr. Scott has turned public opinion around and captured Andrew. The problem at Lakeview Express is solved!"
"Yes, it seems Lakeview Express has no more obstacles!"
"Mr. Davis, he underestimated Skyview!"
Many board members were very satisfied with Skyview's performance.
Whether it was turning public opinion around or solving the problem of lost packages, Skyview's extraordinary skills were evident.
Having such a capable person as the chairman of the Twin Group seemed appropriate.
In particular, Skyview was Dylan's successor.
They started another round of praises.
Hearing the board members' praise, Skyview felt proud. He thought to himself, 'I am indeed an extremely excellent man! If excellence were a crime, then I would be deeply guilty!'
"Good!" John said coldly, "Skyview, you are indeed impressive! The biggest crisis at Lakeview Express has been completely resolved by you!"
Skyview said calmly, "So, does this mean I won our bet?"
John replied coldly, "You haven't won!"
Skyview asked softly, "Why not?"
John said word by word, "Because the real crisis at Lakeview Express has not been resolved!"
"The real crisis? What real crisis?" Skyview feigned confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Of course, you don't know, because you're a complete failure! You created the real crisis at Lakeview Express. You are the one who has driven Lakeview Express to the brink of ruin!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the conference room, "In fact, Skyview, you are the biggest crisis at Lakeview Express!"
Everyone turned to look at the conference room door!
The door was not closed but slightly ajar.
At this moment, Hilda, wearing a gray casual suit, walked into the conference room with two staff members in bank uniforms.
John looked at Hilda and smiled with satisfaction.
This was his grandson, Hilda!
Since John entered the conference room, he had been secretly communicating with Hilda, asking him to cooperate with his actions. Hilda quickly demonstrated his abilities, investigated everything, and brought the bank staff.
John breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the victory was in the bag while Skyview was doomed to fail!
"Who are you?" Skyview looked at Hilda and frowned.
"I am the manager of the Twin Group's business department. My name is Hilda!" Hilda said confidently.
"You are merely a business department manager and have no right to enter the board meeting," Skyview said disdainfully. "Do you want to lose your job?"
Hilda replied, "Whether I want to lose my job is not up to you!"
Skyview laughed. "You are indeed arrogant! And rude!"
Hilda said, "Are you angry because you're feeling guilty?"
Skyview said, "I have no reason to feel guilty."
Hilda said, "You will feel guilty when I expose your incompetence!"
"Get out!" Skyview waved dismissively. "Security, Get Hilda out of here!"
"Wait! Hilda is my grandson, and I asked him to come!" John coughed and said, "Didn't you want me to explain the real crisis at Lakeview Express? Now, I'll let my grandson explain!"
