Chapter 96
"David was not stupid. Last night, Kathleen suddenly came home, and then somehow this morning, Grandpa proposed to come to his villa to check on the renovation progress.
""This is an issue among the people around me. It's unrelated to you. You can go now. I will contact you once the villa is retested to see if the renovation can continue,"" David instructed gently.
""Okay, I trust you, but at the same time, I'm also deeply sympathetic to you."" Cassie nodded and left with the construction team leader.
Inside the villa, Grandpa Foster still seemed confused until David walked over and said, ""Dad, let me take you home.""
While getting into the car, he turned to Kathleen and said, ""Tell Arthur to come to my company.""
Kathleen was dumbfounded. How smart was her younger brother? He already knew!
An hour later
At the CEO's Office
Arthur nervously knocked on the door as he entered. He never expected that Cassie would install surveillance cameras in the villa. What was wrong with her? ""Uncle...""
David turned around, and his palm fiercely struck Arthur's face. Arthur's ears throbbed in pain. Yesterday, his father had slapped him, and today, his own uncle slapped him on the other side.
""Why?"" Arthur couldn't believe it. Wasn't his uncle always the one who loved him the most? He was willing to help him, no matter what he did. He accepted him and protected him.
""What do you think?"" David yanked his collar, his eyes filled with extreme disappointment. ""You used my villa as a stepping stone just to seek revenge on a girl. How dare you, Arthur?""
Arthur was unwilling. His eyes were burning red. ""It's because of Cassie, right? You hit me for her!""
""Shut up!"" David's anger raged. ""You still have no remorse. Fine, all the planned cooperation with the Lewis Group next year will be stopped, and I will also withdraw capital from some of the previous projects. You'll have to take care of yourself from now on.""
""No, uncle, you can't do this! Due to the Foster family's support that my father didn't dare to neglect his responsibilities. If you withdraw your investment, the other claimants could take over the inheritance.""
""So you know everything. Then why did you provoke me?"" David said coldly. ""Today, you bribed my personal assistant. Tomorrow, you will bribe the top management and board of my company!""
""Uncle, I won't! I won't dare! I just want to teach Cassie a lesson,"" Arthur said defiantly.
It would have been better if this matter was not mentioned, but as soon as it came up, David couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the file from the table and threw it at him.
""Just because she uncovered your true face yesterday, you want to ruin her reputation and get her into jail!""
""I didn't do anything,"" Arthur retorted, his face pale.
""Really? Then why did you scheme to have your mom bring grandpa over? You've used all your cunning tactics for this kind of thing. Get out! I don't want to see you, and don't come to my company again."" David called security to escort him out.
For the first time in his life, Arthur was pushed out of Wit Group. He was in a complete panic.
