Chapter 592
Matthew was already in a bad mood, and Hudson's words just made him speechless.
"Just take your food and eat somewhere else!" Matthew said, trying to keep his cool.
Hudson chuckled awkwardly and moved to a different table.
Matthew went back to his work, his focus on the papers in front of him.
At that moment, Kent came in after knocking softly on the door.
"Mr. Leon, there's big news. Some mystery person just invested 50 million in our project with Sunrise Group today. That's a big deal, right?"
Kent watched Matthew closely, trying to read his reaction.
Matthew thought for a moment, then said firmly, "Find out who this mystery investor is."
Kent nodded and left the room quickly.
Matthew kept looking at the list of investors. Sure enough, there was a big anonymous investment.
Hudson, sitting nearby, overheard everything. He did not say a word, but he made a mental note of it.
"Mr. Leon, I'm heading out. I really enjoyed my meal," Hudson said with a grin.
Matthew gave a small smile, stood up, and walked Hudson to the door.
Hudson offered his hand, looking all serious then. He said, "It's great to be working with you!"
Matthew watched Hudson regain his cool and offered a polite smile. "It's been great working with you!"
As soon as Hudson settled into his car, he whipped out his phone and made a call. "Koven, can you check on someone for me?"
Koven was lounging in a bath, half-watching TV when Hudson's call came through. Annoyed but curious, he picked up.
"Find out if there's someone else pulling the strings at Sunrise Group."
Koven thought for a moment.
"I thought you had nothing to do with them?"
"I don't, but I overheard something in Matthew's office. An anonymous investor poured in 50 million into their deal. Matthew looked clueless, so it's got to be Sunrise Group. They're known for demanding big profits on deals like this."
"Why do you care?" Koven was puzzled. Hudson and Matthew were not that close, so what was up now?
"I've teamed up with Leon
Corporation, and I've got Lucy on board as a designer. Lucy's your protégé, and I don't want any trouble for Leon Corporation. With them backing me, my uncle won't dare make a move."
Koven nearly leaped for joy in his bath.
"Got it. I'll handle the mystery investor. You just relax."
"Koven, when are you coming back?" Hudson did not show it, but he was really looking forward to Koven's return...
"I'll be back when the time is right!"
Hudson heard that and quickly ended the call.
Koven, after seeing Hudson hang up, stepped out of the bathroom and began to review Sunrise Group's files.
...
Inside the villa, Lucy had just picked up a call from Matthew.
She was thrilled to find out she had been signed by Hudson and could not wait to tell Chelsea the exciting news.
"Hey, Lucy what's the time? You've interrupted my sleep!" Chelsea had finally managed to catch a nap that afternoon, only to be woken up by Lucy's call.
Over the phone, Lucy could not contain her excitement. "I did it, I signed the contract! I'm a designer now! I'm working with Hudson's company!"
