Chapter 39 Zeph Comes to Visit
Upon hearing Felicia’s words, the Fletcher couple also realized what was going on and both looked at Billy.
“I promised Tasha that I would do it!” Billy touched Tasha’s little face and asked. “Right, Tasha?”
“Yeah!” Tasha responded loudly. “Daddy said he’ll make it happen, and I believe him!”
“Billy, did you get it done?” Fletcher asked in shock.
“Wouldn’t surprise me Beatrice called to ask Harleen to sign a contract with the people from Ozin Tower.” Billy smiled in response.
The Fletcher family exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.
The phone continued to ring.
“Billy, why don’t we let Harleen answer?” Fletcher asked Billy. “If they want her to sign the contract, we can’t let them wait too long. What if they get impatient…”
“Mr Knight, don’t worry about that. They will wait.” Billy said and looked at Harleen.
“Harleen, tell them that you can go sign the contract but only if your grandfather personally comes over to invite you himself.”
“What!?” Felicia shouted again. “Brother-in-law! You’re so bold! If that old man hears this he’ll be furious!”
“Felicia! Watch your mouth!” Fletcher reprimanded her sternly.
“I agree with Billy.” Sharon said, standing alongside him. “If Ozin Tower only listens to Harleen, then let the old man come and ask us himself!”
“Is this appropriate, Sharon?” Fletcher asked.
“What’s inappropriate about it? Have you forgotten how they treated us last night?” Sharon replied loudly before turning to Harleen. “Also, make sure they prepare the agreement your father signed and the dividends from these past few years ready.”
“Right!” Billy laughed and said, “Harleen, take it and do as your mother says.”
“But…” Harleen hesitated.
“Don’t worry, they’ll agree.”
“Okay then.” Harleen nodded and answered the phone before relaying their demands to Beatrice.
After hearing everything, on the other end of the line, Beatrice was so angry she didn’t say a word before hanging up.
“She hung up!” Harleen frowned.
“It’s okay, just wait for them to come knocking.” Billy shrugged his shoulders.
At Knight Group headquarters, Zeph smashed his teacup on the ground after listening to Beatrice’s description.
“Unfilial son, Fletcher!” Zeph roared loudly, his face turning red with anger and his blood pressure skyrocketing. He never thought that he would be threatened, let alone by his own granddaughter.
If Harleen were standing in front of him right now, he would have slapped her without hesitation. But for the sake of the contract with Ozin Tower, it seemed like he had no other choice.
“Father, what do we do now?” Robert was also furious. He took a drag of his cigarette and said, “The people from Ozin Tower are still waiting for us. Shall I send them away first?”
“Prepare the car.” Zeph pushed a vase off the table and said loudly.
“Are you gonna go, father?” Robert asked hesitantly.
“Do you have any other ideas?” Zeph snapped back angrily. “We need to get that contract from Ozin Tower no matter what! After we sign it, we can deal with that unfilial granddaughter!”
“What about the dividends they want?”
“The contract hasn’t been signed yet. We’ll talk about dividends after the contract is signed.”
“Got it,” Robert nodded understandingly. Once the contract was signed and they had more power in negotiations, they could dictate how much dividends Harleen would receive or if she would receive any at all.
“Grandpa, should I call Gilbert and ask if he has any news on his end?” Beatrice said after a moment of thought.
“Don’t bother. I just asked someone at Ozin Tower, and they had no idea who we are at Knight Group before this. I don’t think Gilbert even told his father about this. He’s been lying to us.” Zeph replied in a serious tone.
“What? That bastard! He deserves to die! I won’t let him get away with this!” Beatrice exclaimed.
“Forget about him for now. Robert and I will go find that ungrateful son and his family. You go to the conference room right away and keep the people from Ozin Tower there by any means necessary until we come back!”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Okay,” Beatrice nodded before quickly heading towards the conference room.
About ten minutes later, Zeph and his son drove angrily towards Harleen’s house.
Half an hour later, they walked into Harleen’s home.
“Father,” Fletcher stood up as soon as he saw them.
Zeph snorted coldly without paying attention to him. He then looked at Billy with anger all over his face.
“Grandpa!” Harleen looked at Zeph with a complicated expression on her face.
“Harleen, I know you’ve been angry with me all along. Let me apologize first.” Zeph forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart before speaking again. “I promise you that once we sign the contract with Ozin Tower, we’ll transfer you back to our headquarters and appoint you as department director!”
“Don’t just say nice things, where are our shares and dividends that you promised us?” Sharon spoke up loudly.
“I had already arranged the share certificates and dividends with the company before I came. Once Harleen signs the contract, you can get them.”
“I have no trust in you at all. What if she helps you sign the contract and you back out later?” “Sharon, we are family. Isn’t it a bit too much to talk like this?” Robert interrupted them.
“Too much? Am I being more excessive than you all?” Sharon replied with a disdainful tone.
“Don’t you know what you have done all these years? What have you accomplished on your own?”
“You…” Robert was blue in the face.
“Are you itching to start a fight and hit someone? Huh, you can’t handle a little anger? Have you ever thought about how our family has survived all these years? I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT KILLING SOMEONE EVERY SINGLE MOMENT ALL THESE YEARS!”
Zeph felt himself on the verge of uncontrollable rage.
“Well, then tell me, what do you want me to do to make Harleen sign the contract?”
