Chapter 333 What Is Your Weakness?

“What? You want him to take my place?” Ladarius, who had just returned, was shocked at the news. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Why are you so worked up? Is the position of the project manager that important to you? Or do you think you can’t get anything better than that?” Ingrid knew how Ladarius would react.

“Funny. I’ve only been in the position for a few days. And now you want me to give up the position! What do you think others would think of me? What you said sounds very reasonable, but look at what I have now! Not only did you fire me as the manager, but worse still, you also want that trash to be my boss!

Ingrid, I am starting to doubt what you’re capable of.” He tugged at his tie and sneered.

Ingrid was not annoyed. Instead, she said calmly, “But don’t you think that this is a good opportunity to get rid of him?”

“What do you mean?” Ladarius sounded unfriendly.

“You should know why he wants to take the position so badly.” Ingrid smiled meaningfully. That was also the reason she had agreed to Shawn’s request. “He wants to take the credit. He knows way too well that if the new project department were to achieve something, he would be the one to take most of the credit. My father has his back and has asked a lot of senior members of the company to help him. But my father only does this because he wants Vicente to accomplish something for him. And in the end, my father would take away everything from Vicente!”

She looked calm, but the more she spoke, the deeper the hatred in her eyes showed.

Although she did not say it out loud, she knew well what Shawn had done for Vicente all these years. Shawn had put in a lot of effort and made plenty of arrangements for Vicente. But did Vicente even

deserve all that?

Vicente was just a bastard. Who did he think he was to become a member of

the Petersen family and take away all that stuff?

And Ingrid, on the other hand, had been trying so hard to win Shawn’s heart

ever since she was a child. But despite her being so outstanding, Shawn never

took her seriously. Due to that, Ingrid was determined to take everything away

from Shawn!

“Are you trying to say that the last laugh might not be them?” Slowly regaining his composure, Ladarius started to understand what she meant.

Ingrid nodded. “That’s right. If this project goes well, it will be a great achievement. But what if something goes very wrong? Then the project. manager will have to be the one to take full responsibility.

“Ladarius, how can I put you through all that? Since he wanted to be a scapegoat that badly, why stop him? Let him be!” Ingrid didn’t feel sorry for Vicente at all as she was talking about her plan.

Ladarius laughed. “But, if something goes wrong, your father, who loves Vicente a lot, will whitewash Vicente’s reputation anyway, right? That makes me still the one to shoulder responsibility!”

Ladarius had thought it out. Once Vicente became the project manager, there would be people around him to clean up his mess regardless of him being set up or being so stupid that he made mistakes himself.

But Ingrid thought of it as well. She said disapprovingly, “It doesn’t matter. You can rest assured. Since I want to set him up, then it must be something that no one else can take the blame for. In the Petersen Group, Shawn is not the one who has the final say. Just do what you should do and keep an eye on this trash while you’re doing it. Don’t let him cause any more trouble again.”

“Alright, understood.” Since that was just a part of the plan, Ladarius decided to ignore the whole thing concerning the position. Therefore, he stopped arguing with her. “Then I’ll sleep now.”

“Wait!”

Ingrid asked anxiously, “You haven’t told me how your trip to LA is. Can you guarantee that things will be all right?”

“I gave him the stuff. I think we can count on him. Also, I have had someone keep an eye on him already. He has started to contact those senior members of his company. Everyone has a weakness. As long as we can take advantage of a person’s weakness, we can make things easy.”

Lying on the bed, Ladarius looked at the ceiling as he continued to say to her on the phone, “Just wait and see. You will know everything tomorrow.”

After a pause, he added, “Even if we fail and it turns out that the evidence is not enough, we can still resort to violence.”

“Violence?” Ingrid laughed. “You are naïve! Have you forgotten that the Austin family is an ancient martial arts family? Do you think that Gordon has forces powerful enough to confront the Austin family?”

“He doesn’t need powerful forces to be of his help. Only a powerful ancient martial arts family will do.”

“Gordon has brought another ancient martial arts family? Which one is it?”

Ladarius shook his head. “I’m not sure, but he did come prepared. And as I investigated, the Austin family isn’t as badass as it strikes people as. There are just a few senior disciples that might pose a threat. As for Zain, he is too busy with his company to care about martial arts. And the other…”

He sneered and stopped talking.

Ingrid knew who he was referring to. Therefore, she laughed as well. “Why aren’t you continuing?”

“I’ve said everything I need to say. Now I just want to have a decent sleep and wait for good news to come tomorrow.” He yawned and was about to hang up.

“You said…”

Hearing that, Ladarius stopped hanging up the phone and continued to listen to her. “Everyone has their own weaknesses. What about you? What is your weakness?”

Ladarius lapsed into silence.

Then he asked, “What is yours?”

He hung up after the question. In fact, he did not care about her answer at all.

But after hanging up the phone, he seemed to have lost his drowsiness,

With his eyes staring at the ceiling, he kept hearing Ingrid’s words echo in his ears. “What is your weakness?”

Then his past started to flash across his mind, from his youth when he felt inferior and introverted, to his adolescence when he wanted to make a name for himself, to his adulthood when he met Silvia, Vivienne, and the like, and to the peak of his career when he founded V.L…

He had once had a very happy time. He thought that he could achieve everything and overshadow all the rest.

However, everything collapsed overnight!

Company, career, love, and woman…

All was drifting far away from him. He ended up being scolded by all the people and chased by debt collectors, like an unlikeable rat. Then he met Ingrid.

of course, he knew that Ingrid was not an angel to redeem himself. Quite the opposite, she was a demon, a demon who wanted to pull himself into a deeper abyss. Actually, they were the same type of people. But he wanted to take a gamble.

A weakness?

At that moment, all the scenes in his mind dispersed. But a face was still lingering, which was blurry at first and then became clear.

That face…
