A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Meanwhile, in Horington, Trevor had swiftly acquired all the companies that manufactured construction
materials.
His assistant, however, couldn‘t help but voice his concerns. “Mr. Larson, we‘ve drained all our accounts
and even mortgaged our branch offices to take out loans. If Mr. Nightshire doesn‘t give in to us within a
week, we‘ll be bankrupt. Don‘t you think you should reconsider your actions?”
Trevor‘s expression instantly became sullen. “Well, it‘s too late for regrets. Besides, shouldn‘t you have
persuaded me back when we stood Vinson up? What‘s the use of saying all these now? Since you have
so much time on your hand, I want you to spread the news. Let Vinson know the price he has to pay for
going against the Greenes and us!”
“Yes, I‘m on it…” the assistant murmured before slinking away.
At Nightshire Group‘s branch office in Horington, Vinson was about to depart for the airport when the
branch manager came looking for him.
“Mr. Nightshire, Mr. Luke Yeager is here.”
“Luke Yeager?”
After a moment‘s thought, Vinson settled back into his chair. “All right, send him in.”
“Yes!”
Before long, Luke strode into the office with a grim look on his face.
Question marks flooded Vinson‘s mind as he gave Luke a once–over. “Mr. Yeager, what happened? Are
you not happy with the contract?”
Luke hastily replied, “No, no. There‘s no problem with the contract. It‘s Trevor.”
“Trevor Larson?”
At the mention of Trevor‘s name, Luke gritted his teeth in anger.
“When Trevor found out that I was working with you, he bought out all the construction material
manufacturers in Horington. How am I supposed to get my hands on materials for my construction
needs? How on earth do I build anything at all? Trevor is just out to destroy me!”
Luke was expecting Vinson to blow his top, but to his surprise, Vinson remained calm.
“Mr. Nightshire, did you hear what I said?” Luke asked warily.
“Of course, I‘m not deaf.” Vinson then stared at Luke and added, “More importantly, Mr. Yeager, you
haven‘t gone through the proposal in detail, have you?”
Luke flinched and scratched his head sheepishly. “I was so happy that I haven‘t had a chance to look at
it… But
don‘t worry, I‘ve handed it to my subordinates. They‘re preparing for it as we speak.”
Vinson‘s lips curled into a wry smile as he handed a copy of the proposal over to Luke.
“Since we have time now, why don‘t you give it a
read?”
Despite feeling befuddled, Luke did as instructed.
It didn‘t take long before he looked up from the proposal and exclaimed, “Oh, you‘re not constructing
buildings. You‘re constructing the world‘s biggest theme park!”
“That‘s right,” Vinson replied with a nod. He then explained, “I plan to build a theme park that‘s suitable
for all ages. I‘ve purchased the land, but you don‘t have to rush to start construction. Let‘s wait till we get
the design blueprints from the other party.”
“But… If I can’t get my hands on any building materials, I still won‘t be able to build a theme park.”
Vinson raised his chin and smirked. “Carry on reading.”
Luke nodded and buried his nose in the proposal.
Not long after, he cried out in surprise, “What? The other party agreed to provide all materials? They‘re
even shipping them over from Epea?”
