SWNOVELS Chapter 57
Chapter 57
“Mommy, since you don’t like him, tell us if he pesters you again. Oliver and I will teach him a hard lesson.”
Christine remembered that there was also a man who wanted to woo her in Cardolia and often sent her flowers. After investigating, Oliver and Milo found out that the man was a bastard who wooed many women at the same time.
The man had been beaten black and blue by Oliver and Milo. His clothes were stripped down to his underpants, and he was hung on the sea bridge. He even made the headlines of the social news that day.
“Don’t worry. He’s not pestering me. He was just expressing his gratitude. Don’t misunderstand.”
If not for Blanche’s incident, Duncan would have been a shy big boy in Christine’s impression. If he was really stripped down to his underwear and hung in public, he might have committed suicide in grief and indignation. Christine didn’t bear to see Christine in sadness because of Duncan’s death.
“You two promise me that you won’t do anything to him, okay?”
Oliver and Milo seemed to have received a message. The two of them looked at each other and said obediently, “Got it, Mommy.”
Only then did Christine’s expression case up a little. Suddenly, she thought of something.
“By the way, there’s something I want to ask you. I have a gold pendant with a wolf’s head carved on it. I don’t know when it was lost. Did you see it?”
“I didn’t see it.”
Oliver spoke first. Milo followed behind Oliver and said in a slightly flustered manner, “I didn’t see it, either.”
When they arrived in Archiland, the wolf–head gold pendant had been lost.
Christine sighed slightly. In short, it was an ominous item. Since it was lost, so be it.
Milo blinked and asked, “Mommy, is that something very important?”
Christine’s expression changed slightly. She said awkwardly, “It’s fine. It’s not important. I was careless and didn’t know where I left it. Since it’s lost, so be it.”
“Okay.”
At night, in Scenic Bay.
“Good night, Mommy.”
“Oliver, Milo, good night.”
After they said goodnight to their mommy, and Christine closed the door, Oliver and Milo got out of bed. Oliver turned on his computer and logged into his social media account. Sure enough, there were several messages. They were all reporting to him about the recent increase in the price of cement and steel bars, construction hardware, bricks, tiles, and even some low–value consumables used at construction sites.
Oliver did not seem surprised. He had been paying attention to the increase in industrial materials for the past few days.
[I know.]
Milo looked at the information on the computer and said worriedly, “Oliver, if the price of the materials increases, won’t the profits shrink?”
Although Milo did not know much about the business world, he understood such a simple question. He could not help but be a little worried.
The person on the other end of the screen immediately sent a message, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
[Magnate, I’ve finally contacted you. I’m going crazy.]
[Magnate, it’s not just about the price increase now. I’ve asked around. Most of the materials in the market have already been sold out now.]
[Although the price is high and the quantity is small, the project is about to start. I’ve already organized the subordinates to buy all the existing stock in the market.]
The continuous messages on the other side showed how anxious and nervous the person was.
Oliver was indeed typing calmly on the keyboard.
Chapter 57
It’s a bad idea to buy bulk goods on the market to make up for the losses. Do you think the bulk goods you buy can deal with the requirement of the huge project on hand?]
Matthew Taylor, who was on the other side of the computer, was the spokesperson of Magnate and the
second–in–command of Jasper Holdings.
At this moment, his brain was about to explode. The project was about to start. Without the materials, it was simply fatal.
[But if we don’t start it, we will get a huge fine.]
[If we can’t deliver it as scheduled, we will also get a huge fine. To solve the problem, we have to solve it from the root.]
[Magnate, what should we do now?]
[It’s normal for the market price to fluctuate, but since there’s no inventory for such a large–scale increase, there must be someone behind it. Do you know who it is?]
[There’s news that Reeves Group has purchased industrial materials on the market in a large amount.]
When he saw Matthew’s message, Milo said angrily, “After our scumbag dad knew that we stole his project, he even bought and hoarded industrial materials. He’s coming for us. Oliver, what should we do now?”
“I’ve long guessed that it’s him. Other than him, who else in Archiland has such ability?”
“Oliver, our scumbag dad is unwilling to let us snatch the project away. Ile’s forcing us to return it back.”
Oliver’s eyes were bottomless, and one could not tell his emotions.
At this moment, Matthew anxiously sent another message.
[Magnate, what should we do? Reeves Group is clearly taking revenge on us. If the project doesn’t start as scheduled, we will get a huge fine.]
“Oliver, what should we do?”
Milo was also extremely anxious. Oliver did not say anything, and his expression was solemn. After a moment of silence, his fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed a sentence.
[Contact Reeves Group. We will buy the industrial materials in their hands.J
Milo was shocked. “Oliver, our scumbag dad wants to make things difficult for us. Will they agree to sell the materials to
us?”
[Magnate, Reeves Group did so many things just to take revenge on us for snatching their project. How could they agree to sell us the materials?]
[Feel free to contact them. They will be willing to sell us the materials.]
Oliver closed the laptop after typing. Milo looked at Oliver in confusion.
“Oliver, how can you be sure that our scumbag dad will sell us the materials? Our scumbag dad just wants to see us suffer.”
Oliver narrowed his charming eyes and said meaningfully, “The project has already been snatched away by us. As far as I know, Reeves Group no longer has a project that requires a large amount of industrial raw materials on hand. If they don’t sell it to us, these materials will only end up in their own hands. Even if Reeves Group is powerful, it will still be a fatal blow. With our scumbag dad’s style, he won’t use the future of the corporation to take revenge on us.”
After hearing Oliver’s explanation, Milo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Oliver, do you mean that we’re the target of our scumbag dad hoarding these industrial raw materials and ramping their prices?”
“Yeah.”
Oliver replied softly. Milo was about to explode in anger.
“Our despicable scumbag dad is hoarding these industrial raw materials and ramping their prices to scam us. Oliver, we can’t fall for his trap.
“Currently, all the goods on the market have been bought by Reeves Group. With the current situation, there’s no other way except to buy goods from the Reeves Group. I can only blame myself for being careless. I definitely won’t make the same mistake again next time.”
Oliver’s eyes darkened. It seemed like he had underestimated their scumbag dad’s ability.
This time, Oliver had underestimated his opponent. Next time, he would not fall into the opponent’s trap so easily.
“Oliver, Mommy was already very angry when we transferred 200 million dollars from our scumbag dad last time. This time, we have to keep the matter of us snatching our scumbag dad’s project a secret. We can’t let Mommy know again.”
Chapter 57
Don’t worry Mommy won’t know”
In the next room. Xenon sent a message to Christine.
[Foremother, there’s news about the Magnate and Reeves Group. Do you want to know?]
Christine glanced at it and typed impatiently.
Your business ability hasn’t been good recently. Are you thinking of transferring? Go ahead quickly.]
Xenon felt wronged.
[Foremother, I know that Magnate is your son. When I received the news, I took the initiative to report to you. Why are you still blaming me?]
[Go ahead quickly.]
