Chapter 642
Nathaniel had a polite smile as he bent down, knowing that the man in the car had an air of arrogance
around him. Henry looked at Nathaniel and blew out a puff of smoke directly at his face.
Nathaniel was caught off guard and began to cough repeatedly from the smoke. Then he heard. a light
voice. “Are you alone?”
Turning his head, he coughed again before looking back at Henry, “Yes, I’m alone, but it seems my
presence isn’t welcome. In that case, it must mean that you’re uninterested in what I have. Seeing as
I’m disturbing you, I’ll leave.”
With that said, Nathaniel turned and left.
“Hold up!” Henry snarled. At first, he thought Nathaniel was just playing tricks, but when he saw that
Nathaniel got right into the car and started it, Henry panicked. He quickly unbuckled. his seat belt and
jumped out of his car.
When Henry rushed over and grabbed the half–open window, Nathaniel was already beginning to
drive.
“Stop!”
The car let out a screech as Nathaniel braked to a stop. This almost sent Henry flying to the ground.
Once he stabilized himself, he shot a glare at Nathaniel.
At this moment, Nathaniel, who sat in the car, sneered. “Is there anything I can help you with, Mr.
Lodge?”
“Since you’re here to make a deal with me, stop being so pretentious and come down to chat!” Henry
gruntled after letting go of the car.
A sardonic smile flashed across Nathaniel’s face when he heard this. “I’m not being pretentious, but if
you’re not keen, there’s nothing to talk about. After all, I’m not the one. needing any concrete evidence,
and I’m not the one that’s a family patriarch, am I?”
Upon hearing this, Henry’s gaze turned cold as he stared at Nathaniel. “Are you threatening me?”
“I have no time for threats. I’m just reminding you that everyone is equal in all sorts of transactions. You
said that I’m pretentious? You’re thinking too highly of me. I wouldn’t dare to be that way in front of you.
However, Mr. Lodge, I hope you respect me in turn.”
Henry’s eyes turned gloomy in the face of Nathaniel’s words. He took two steps back, sighed, and
relaxed a little before he said, “Let’s talk.”
After studying his face, Nathaniel opened the door and got out of the car. Only after standing in front of
Henry did Nathaniel realize that Henry was not much taller than himself. However, Henry’s sinister
demeanor created a tense environment.
There was a time when Henry would intimidate Nathaniel. Now that he was entangled with the wealthy
and powerful, he felt less threatened than before. Sooner or later, the whole Tanner Corporation would
be his so an upcoming patriarch of the Lodge family was nothing to him.
Nathaniel casually had his hands in his trousers pocket and raised his chin to look at Henry
unabatedly. “Mr. Lodge, I’m delighted to meet you.”
“Cut to the chase. Gary said that the evidence in your hands right now would help me. Is that true?” If it
weren’t because Henry had personally heard this from Gary, he wouldn’t have taken the risk to come
all the way here.
“I know what you’re worried about, Mr. Lodge, and I can help you with that under one condition.”
Nathaniel smiled as he knew he had the upper hand now. He was up–to–date with what was going on.
Although Jonathan currently held the title of the family patriarch, the power was still in Justin’s hands. If
Justin wasn’t overthrown, Henry would not be of much use, even if he got the title.
