Making Millions With The Eyes Of God

Making 209

James looked rather displeased as he addressed Graham. ‘Mr. Field, you might not be aware, but a while back, Lawrence from the Black Hawk, an elite internal force martialist, found out that Helene sent his son Clive to jail.

“He wanted to settle the score with your family. But it was my son Benny who stepped in, ensuring the safety of the Field family.

“Benny genuinely cares for your daughter. Don’t you think he’s a good match for her?”

Graham replied, “Mr. Wyatt, you misunderstand. Helene is still young. We can discuss her marriage later.”

James said. “Fine, if you think it’s too early for a marital alliance, let’s put that aside.

“But, what about the new CBD project I mentioned earlier? Are you willing to back down?”

A slight smile appeared on Graham’s face. “Mr. Wyatt, I’ve already submitted the bid to the city council. Withdrawing it wouldn’Flook good. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Besides, even if I participate, wouldn’t your Wyatt Group still secure the CBD project in the end?”

The expression on James‘ face darkened. “So, you’re not giving up on the CBD project.

“Alright, I won’t push you.

But let me make myself clear: I am determined to get the CBD project.

“Anyone who dares compete with the Wyatt family will be wiped off the face of the earth.”

James‘ gaze, filled with menacing intent, locked onto Graham. He added coldly, “Mr. Field, you wouldn’t dare to compete against the Wyatt family, would you?

“If something happened to you, Helene would be all alone. You wouldn’t want to see her suffer and be isolated, would you

At that, Graham’s face changed dramatically.

How could he not understand the threat in James‘ words!

And that threat struck Graham’s most vulnerable spot.

For indeed, Helene had only him.

Her mother had tragically died in a car accident years ago.

If something really happened to him, not only would Helene be left all alone, but the Wyatt family would surely never spare

her.

The mere thought sent shivers down Graham’s spine, making him break out in a cold sweat

It was an outcome he desperately hoped to avoid.

Secing Graham’s pale face, clearly shaken by the threat, both James and his son Benny wore smug expressions.

They couldn’t believe that Graham would be able to withstand the pressure from the Wyatt family.

Internally, Graham felt defeated in that moment. Fatigue was evident on his face as he said, “Mr. Wyatt, there’s still half a month until the new CBD project bid meeting

“There’s still time for me to withdraw my bid before it starts…”

Recognizing that his intimidation had worked, James wore a satisfied smile. “Mr. Field, it’s commendable that you know when to fold.

This way, Helene can continue to rely on her father.

I hope to hear that you’ve given up on the bid within two days.

“Well, I’ve taken up enough of your time. We’ll be on our way now.”

With that, James rose from the sofa and said to his son, “Let’s head home, Benny.”

“Yes, Dad.” Benny responded, getting up from his seat.

Before leaving, he turned to Helene and said. Tll come visit you again, Helene.”

However, Helene gave Benny the cold shoulder, clearly uninterested.

Feeling rebuffed, Benny reluctantly followed his father out.

Soon after, the sound of a car pulling away could be heard from outside.

Without a doubt, the Wyatt duo had left.

Back on the sofa, Graham’s expression darkened rapidly, his eyes flashing with an indescribable rage.

His hands clenched into fists out of anger.

“They’ve gone too far! Way too far!” Graham bellowed through gritted teeth.

Although Helene was quite upset herself, she tried to comfort her father. “Dad, don’t let these old bullies from the Wyatt family get to you. It’s not worth risking your health over them”

Graham responded, “James comes here, threatening me to give up the bid. Which other family in Vista Verde acts so arrogantly? They’re like a pack of wolves!”

He then added in a hopeful tone, “I hope there’s good news from Star Gate. It’d be hard to swallow if I had to hand over the new CBD project to these business wolves without a fight”

Just as Helene was about to soothe her father’s ruffled feelings, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, her face lit up. “Dad, it’s Julian,” she said.

“Answer it quickly! Let’s hear what he has to say,” Graham urged

Nodding. Helene answered the phone. “Hello, Julian. That was quick. Did you meet with your sect leader?”

Julian’s voice came through, noticeably excited. “Helene, I’ve met with our leader. Guess what?

From his tone, Helene could already guess the outcome, “Do I even need to guess? You must’ve convinced him to send martialists to protect the Field family.”

Julian chuckled, saying, “Helene, you’re truly a Harvard prodigy, sharp as a tack. You guessed right. Our leader has agreed to send martialists for the Field family’s protection

Curious, Helene inquired, “And what did he say about the fee?”

Helene, this is what our leader told me, “Who said anything about taking money? This is your cousin’s family, your kin Why

would we charge them?” Julian told Helene what Gilmore had said over the phone.

Hearing this, both Helene and Graham looked at each other in astonishment.

Not charging even a penny?

Star Gate, a renowned sect in Oakhaven, usually required a hefty fee for their services. Even the wealthiest families would find it a challenge to hire the martialists from Star Gate.

But now, they were offering their protection to the Field family without any charge.

To Helene and Graham, it was clear that the leader of Star Gate was doing this favor on account of Julian’s high standing within the sect.

They were astonished to realize that Julian had such clout in Star Gate that he could convince his leader to make such a generous exception for the Field family.

Recovering from her surprise, Helene said, “Julian, we can’t thank you enough for this

“And when will the martialists from Star Gate be arriving in Vista Verde?”

“The sect leader has instructed me to lead a team of 40 martialists there. We’ll be at your mansion tomorrow, Julian replied.

Helene was taken aback again. “You’re leading the team personally?”

“Surprised, aren’t you? Of course, if you’d rather I not visit, I could always send someone else,” Julian teased, a rare playful note in his voice.

Helene quickly responded, “No, no! We’d be honored to have you and the Star Gate martialists at our home.

“We’ll be eagerly waiting for you all tomorrow,”

“Alright, then. We’ll talk more tomorrow,” Julian concluded.

After ending the call, before Helene could say anything, Graham, wearing a broad smile, remarked, “Theard everything. No need to fill me in.”

A determined glint appeared in his eyes, “The Wyatt family threatened us, didn’t they? Now with the protection of Star Gate, let’s see how they try to intimidate us now.”
