Chapter 95 Good luck with your success
“This time I’m working with the Browns, and I’ll need financial support if I’m going to be dealing with them regularly.” Erik said this to Edwin, but his eyes were really on Sophie.
“Don’t worry, second brother, as brothers in this family, we will help as much as we can.” Before Edwin could say anything, Sophie opened her mouth and agreed.
Edwin on the side frowned lightly, but did not say anything.
“It’s still Sophie’s pleasure, don’t worry, Erik will definitely mediate from it and untie this knot for you.” Getting Sophie’s promise, Erik’s eyebrows were stretched and he said with an air of bravado.
“Then I’ll trouble Second Brother.” Sophie responded with a light smile.
“We’ve been interrupting for two days so we won’t stay long, there are things waiting for me at the company, Spencer and I will leave now.” Erik said and stood up, and his son Spencer also got up to say goodbye.
Sophie politely stayed for a few minutes, but looking at Erik and Spencer in a hurry, they really packed their bags and sent them to the airport by the driver right away:
“It’s like asking for money and then leaving!”
“Edwin, after all, he is your second brother, this money is given to him for his own family use.” Sophie didn’t know why Erik came to New York in person, but she cared more about him helping her connect with Esmae than money.
“That depends on what he uses it for!” Edwin was indignant that he would never have let Erik ask for so much if Sophie hadn’t jumped the gun.
“Okay, okay, don’t be angry,” knowing how Edwin treated Erik, Sophie said soothingly: “As long as he can help us get in touch with Esmae, it’s better than me not knowing where she is for so many years, worrying about her and having trouble sleeping and eating. ”
“Sophie …” saw his wife’s frown of sadness, Edwin’s anger immediately dissipated, he heartily embraced Sophie into his arms, said comfortingly:
“Don’t worry, we’ll be able to put things on ice with Esmae in the end.”
Sophie leaned into her husband’s arms and thought to herself, “I hope so.
And at that moment, on the way to JFK, Erik was sitting comfortably with a smug look on his face.
“Dad, let’s just muddle through this thing.” Spencer, who was sitting across from Erik, couldn’t help but say happily when he saw his father expressing his feelings, but just as he finished his words, he saw Erik’s face sink.
“Spencer, watch your language, what do you mean by muddling through?” He reprimanded his son in a stern voice and saw him lower his head before Erik continued, “That’s not muddling through, it’s coping!” After he finished speaking, his face returned to its spirited expression.
Spencer nodded repeatedly, “But little uncle is so astute, will he notice …”
“No, Sophie thinks highly of Esmae, she agreed without saying a word as soon as I mentioned the money earlier, and as long as they still want to keep in touch with Esmae, they won’t suspect me.” Erik said without a care in the world.
“Dad, you’re killing two birds with one stone, getting Esmae’s help and scraping a lot of money from Uncle Junior at the same time.” Spencer’s eyes lit up as he spoke.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“That is.” Erik can’t hide the smug look on his face as he recalls his trip to Chicago.
Ten days ago, Erik took Spencer to Chicago, as he told Sophie, it was very difficult to meet Esmae at first, they almost couldn’t even get into the Brown Group, because of course, once they heard that the Davies were visiting, Esmae directly ordered to refuse to meet. Only then did they meet Esmae as scheduled.
Erik met Esmae for the first time at Boulanger’s headquarters and received a predictably cold reception.
“Ms. Wilson, it’s finally time to see you.” Upon entering Esmae’s office, regardless of her cold stare, Erik greeted enthusiastically.
“Something’s up.” Esmae is no stranger to the man in front of him, even if he is not the Davies, Erik’s reputation in the industry has long been notorious, and Esmae dislikes such people who are not well educated in the industry.
Taking Spencer to his desk, Erik opened his mouth with a breeze and said, “I’m not going to lie to Ms. Wilson, I’m here today because Edwin and Sophie asked me to.”
“Then you can leave now.” Esmae gave Erik a cold look and turned his seat back directly to them, not giving any face.
“Ms. Wilson, it’s true that I came to visit you at the behest of Edwin and Sophie, but what I want to talk to you about is not what you think.” Erik calmly spoke to Esmae behind the back of his chair.
After a dozen seconds of silence and silence, Esmae turned back around and looked at Erik with a faint smile and said, “Oh? And what do you want to talk to me about?”
Esmae does think that Erik is here to make peace for Edwin and Sophie, and if not, then she would be interested to hear about it.
Although Esmae was cold, her behavior had already shown her thoughts, and Erik did not open the door directly, but spoke up:
“I think Ms. Wilson knows the relationship between Edwin and me, we are cousins, my brother and I came to USA a few years later than him, but now the situation is very different, Edwin is now a financial powerhouse on Wall Street, my brother and I are not as developed as we would like.”
“What does this have to do with me?” Esmae asked impatiently, she didn’t want to listen to Erik’s ramblings about his lack of ambition, besides, his current situation was mostly caused by poor vegetation, which Esmae still knew something about.
“Please hear me out, my ability and Edwin are on par, but come to different situations today, what he has more than me is just grandfather’s eccentricity, back then Edwin came to USA to study, after graduation, he got great financial support from grandfather, not only gave him strong start-up capital, but also deployed countless elites for him, while when I came to USA, what I got When I came to USA, I only received a small amount of support from my father, and started worse than him, which led to the disparity in strength today.”
Erik said with a resigned look on his face.
“So what does this have to do with me?” Esmae is so astute that she still looks unsure, even though she guesses the implication of Erik’s words.
“If my grandfather had treated me equally at the beginning, I would not be worse than Edwin today, so
His current achievements are built on the injustice done to the other the Davies, and what he has achieved today is not his own!” Erik still meanders around complaining about his discontent.
“If it’s not his, could it be yours?” Esmae sneered.
Not caring about the implied sarcasm in Esmae’s words, Erik said without hesitation, “Some of it was already mine, and one day, I’m going to get it all back!”
Speaking of which, even the Spencer beside him also Elaine’s righteous indignation.
“Well, good luck with that.” Esmae said coldly.
Eyes sunk, Erik solemnly looked at Esmae, said: “So I hope Ms. Wilson can cooperate with me, I get back what belongs to me, and you, can revenge the year.”
