Chapter 77 Temporary Cooperation
All the conflicts in the world were for the sake of profit.
For profit, even blood brothers and fathers and sons could turn against each other, let alone strangers!
Skyview and Mason were strangers, and this was their first real interaction. Sharing feelings would be too fake. The only thing they could exchange was profit.
Mason knew that his chances of taking the chairman's seat were slim, so his best option was to support someone else for the position in exchange for benefits.
For Mason, it required careful consideration to decided whom to support .
Skyview had demonstrated his capabilities through the crisis management of Lakeview Express, and he was Dylan's legitimate heir. Therefore, Mason was inclined to support Skyview. If Skyview were a complete waste, Mason wouldn't invest in him.
Of course, this support required an exchange of benefits. Mason wanted the position of second-in-command at the Twin Group and a portion of Lakeview Express's stock. The second-in-command position meant power, and the stock meant money! In short, these two conditions were about both money and power!
'Mason had a significant influence within the Twin Group.
'With Mason's support, my chances of controlling the Twin Group would increase by at least a third.
'Moreover, what Mason wanted wasn't out of the line. It could be considered a fair exchange.' Skyview weighed the pros and cons, remaining silent for a long time.
Mason smiled at Skyview.
"Alright, I agree. As long as you are willing to support me as chairman, John's current position will be yours, and I will also allow you to purchase a portion of Lakeview Express's stock," Skyview finally decided. "But I hope you genuinely support me; otherwise, I won't have mercy for you!"
"Of course, I genuinely support you!" Mason said with a smile, "To show my sincerity, I'll tell you a top secret!"
"What secret?" Skyview asked.
"Hilda plans to win over Hekka!" Mason said.
"What?" Skyview was shocked. "He's dreaming! Does he actually want to do that? Hekka would never be interested in him!"
Mason said, "I know Hekka well. She has very high standards and generally ignores most men. However, Hilda has some tricks when it comes to pursuing women. If he shamelessly pesters her, he might actually succeed. He might even use some despicable means against Hekka. Hilda once framed a woman, causing her to become addicted to drugs. Hilda is very malicious, and we must guard against him."
Hearing this, Skyview also became worried.
Skyview had great confidence in Hekka, but he knew if Hilda used some despicable means, Hekka might not be able to defend herself!
Skyview was a person who repaid kindness. Hekka had been so good to him, and he couldn't let her get hurt.
Moreover, from a profit standpoint, Hekka was too important to Skyview. If Hekka were on John's side, Skyview wouldn’t stand a chance to confront him!
"I think Hilda is delusional. As long as I'm here, I won't let him succeed. If Hilda dares to have any ill intentions towards Hekka, I'll crush his hopes completely!" Skyview decided coldly. "I'll teach Hilda a lesson!"
Mason said, "Actually, I have a good suggestion."
Skyview asked, "What suggestion?"
Mason said, "If you pursue Hekka first, wouldn't the problem be solved?"
"Pursue Hekka?" Skyview was taken aback.
He had to admit that Hekka was beautiful and capable. It would be a lie to say he was not interested in her.
However, Skyview had already expressed his love for Willow. Although Willow hadn't fully accepted it, their relationship had taken a step forward. At this point, it was not appropriate for Skyview to pursue Hekka.
Thinking of this, Skyview shook his head and said, "No, no, I have always seen Hekka as my sister. I can't pursue her."
Mason looked at Skyview with a knowing gaze and said calmly, "But I think this would be the best way to ruin Hilda's plan."
"Enough with the nonsense. No matter what, Hilda has no chance of winning her heart!" Skyview said fiercely, "I have my way to deal with him."
"Alright, with you taking action, Hilda won't succeed," Mason said with a smile, extending his hand to Skyview. "Skyview, here's to a successful partnership!"
Skyview also extended his hand and shook Mason's, smiling. "I'm glad to cooperate with you."
At the Twin Group.
Skyview found Hekka.
"I have a question for you," Skyview said coyly to Hekka.
Hekka looked at Skyview with amusement and said, "What question? Just ask! You don't need to be shy."
Skyview asked, "I want to know if you have a boyfriend."
