Chapter 652 A Good Omen

’Tear up the document? Do you really dare to?” Daniel’s threatening voice came through, never worried about such a thing happening.

However, Kaliyah was no pushover either. She spoke with an icy tone. “I know the Hume Group is not easy to deal with, and I’m aware of your extensive influence. But don’t forget, I still hold this agreement in my hands! Daniel, we’re in a partnership, and helping me solve problems is part of our collaboration, right? Besides, considering Ainsley’s current impression of you, do you have any other options besides this agreement I’m holding?”

“How dare you threaten me? The Packer Group means nothing to me, it’s just… trash.” Daniel sneered.

Kaliyah’s face was filled with anger. Although she knew very well that the Packer Group meant nothing to Daniel, she still didn’t want to hear such words.

She thought for a moment and said solemnly, “I wouldn’t call this a threat, but the entire city of Seattle is under Manuel’s control. It’s impossible for you to get close to Ainsley while in his grasp. Moreover, do you really think they won’t suspect you after signing this agreement? Once they deal with the Packer Group, you’ll be next.”

Daniel remained silent, of course he understood.

Bryan stood nervously beside Kaliyah, clenching his fists. Although he felt that his daughter was saying something wrong, he still didn’t dare to interrupt her. After all, this was their last chance.

The assistant kept coming in with the latest news. Unlike the previous crisis involving the Glover Group, this time it was the Gage Group.

That’s not even on the same level; the stock market is in complete collapse.

He was anxious and worried, but all he could do was watch his daughter with hopeful eyes, praying that the person on the phone could truly help them.

He knew who Daniel was, and he also knew that Daniel had the strength to compete with Manuel.

After a while, the person on the other end of the phone finally spoke. “Even if I’m willing to help you, I can’t completely stop Manuel from destroying the Packer Group. The Packer Group’s stock market is collapsing, and I can help you with that. However, if it’s an issue with your contracts, I’m afraid I won’t be of much assistance, after all, this is Seattle.’

’I understand, just like this is fine, but we must let the entire Seattle know that you helped the Packer Group,” Kaliyah said sternly.

Simply using Daniel’s name is enough to deter some people. Rather than focusing on contract issues, the more crucial matter is the stock market situation.

After hanging up the phone, Kaliyah slumped onto the couch, her hands beginning to tremble.

Bryan looked at his daughter with anticipation, “How did it go? What did they say?”

“Dad, Daniel agreed to help with the Packer Group’s stock issue, but he can’t do anything about the contract,” Kaliyah said, slightly furrowing her brow.

Bryan nodded and asked, “Hmm, how did you get to know him?”

“It’s just an alliance, after all. He’s the one who told me about the ashes,” Kaliyah said gently.

However, Bryan began to have other thoughts. He looked at his daughter with an unnatural expression and said meaningfully, “Even though Daniel is from Portugal, and is probably married, but…”

’ Dad, do you really have to do this?” Kaliyah looked at Bryan with disappointment.

Her voice was tinged with an indescribable disappointment. “Do you really have to rely on my marriage for your career? First it was Cason, then Mr. Garner, and now you’re thinking about Daniel?

Do you know what kind of person Mr. Garner is? He’s nothing but scum, and just because he has some influence, you pushed me towards him. When you were in trouble, I called him only to find out he had already blocked me. Is this the good person you were talking about? As for Daniel, don’t even think about it. He’s even more terrifying than Manuel. Besides, what do you think I have to offer him for cooperation? It’s just Ainsley.”

Bryan stared at his daughter’s aggressive words, almost raising his hand to strike her. But in mid-air, he remembered Daniel and the fact that the Packer Group still needed to rely on Kaliyah and Daniel.

He lowered his palm, and before long, the Packer Group’s declining daily chart suddenly came to a halt, and then gradually began to rise.

Bryan’s eyes widened, and no matter what, this was a good sign.

At the top floor of the Gage Group building, Roman watched the Packer Group’s stock market stability with some astonishment.

He looked at Manuel, asking if they should continue, but Manuel just waved his hand.

“There’s no need, he’s already taken action. The incident last time was his scheme.” Manuel’s expression was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Inside the Seaside Villa, Aaden stopped working and said, ‘ Mr. Hume, it’s done.”

’Go get the agreement from the Packer Group,” he said, eager to see the document.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Georgia stood behind him, casually massaging his shoulders. In order to live a few more days and make her life a bit more comfortable, she had no choice but to follow Daniel’s orders.

Even though she was massaging Daniel’s shoulders and neck, she could hardly resist the urge to pinch him.

It seemed as if he sensed danger, but Daniel just chuckled lightly. “You want to kill me?”

Georgia gasped and quickly waved her hands, “No, how could I dare?”

Daniel suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked it hard. Georgia was pulled in front of him, falling onto his lap. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Daniel’s neck.

This position is quite suggestive, as Daniel would accidentally bump into Georgia’s nose whenever he gets close.

Daniel clearly had no intention of letting Georgia off the hook so easily. “Why are you so shy now? In the past, you couldn’t wait to snuggle up in my arms.”

Clearly, the time he was talking about was when she hadn’t yet had this face.

Recalling the feeling from back then, Georgia once again tried to mimic that moment, wanting to kiss Daniel’s cheek.

Immediately after, she was pushed away forcefully. Daniel threw her onto the couch and looked down at her condescendingly. ‘Disgusting,” he said. “With that face of yours, every move you make just seems so out of place. Don’t ever do that again. Do you know why I keep you around? It’s all because of that face of yours.”

Georgia touched her face, giving Daniel a sidelong glance.

Immediately after, Daniel suddenly grabbed her chin and forcefully lifted it up. “Don’t think I don’t know what little tricks you’re trying to pull. If there’s a next time, I’ll break one of your fingers. But I can’t let it slide today either, so how about I start with your index finger?”

’ No!” Georgia shook her head frantically.

But he had already grasped her left hand, pinching that fragile index finger.

With just a little bit of force, she was already in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. “Please, don’t do this,’ she begged.

“I really, I really won’t do it again!” she cried out in pain and tears.

Daniel finally let go of her, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped away her tears with a hint of heartache. “Don’t cry, I don’t want to see tears on your face.”

Georgia immediately stopped crying, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then forced a smile.

At first, she wasn’t that scared, because she had never seen how Daniel dealt with people.
