Chapter 870 This Wasn't Something Normal People Would Do!
Jack walked to the dining table and gestured for Lucind to sit and eat, completely ignoring Lares, who lounged on the couch as if invisible.
Ferell set the table for Robin, Jack, and Lucinda. "Mrs. Delgado, it's time for breakfast."
Lucinda hesitated for a moment, then joined Robin and Jack at the table, digging into the extravagant spread.
"Huh?" Lares, feeling completely confused, looked around.
The group was sitting at the coffee table, casually having breakfast, and no one acknowledged him!
The Delgados are struggling, and I've come to oversee the stock transfer, presenting myself as a benefactor.
Yet now, Lucinda dares to ignore me? This is outrageous!
Even though the stock transfer of St. Joshua Hospital is clearly a maneuver by the Dixons to take control, Lucinda should have no choice but to accept, given the fragile state of Delgado Enterprises. On top of that, the Dixons are offering a hefty sum of a million dollars for the transfer.
Whether or not they would actually pay,
remains unclear.
"Sigh... What's your problem, woman? This issue hasn't been resolved yet!"
Lares, enraged at being dismissed by Lucinda, stood up and tore off the mask of civility. He pointed at Lucinda and shouted, "Are you going to sign this stock transfer or not?"
He continued, his voice rising, "Let me be clear, Lucinda, if you don't sign today, I'll have someone throw Dash out of the hospital! Let's see which hospital in Plemouth will take him in then!"
"Is that so? Go ahead, try it!" Robin wiped his mouth calmly with a napkin, stood up, and turned to face
Lares.
Robin, significantly taller than Lares, exuded an aura that immediately subdued Lares' arrogance.
Instinctively, Lares took a step back.
Regaining his composure, he said, "Who are you? Get out of my way! I'm having a serious conversation with her!"
Robin took two steps forward, forcing Lares to retreat even further.
"A serious conversation?" Robin pointed at Lares as he sat on the couch. "Go ahead, let's hear it. What's so urgent?" Lares froze.
He studied the young man in front of him, feeling a palpable force coming from him without a trace of anger.
For a moment, Lares felt uncertain about his identity.
But then, remembering he wasn't alone, Lares felt emboldened. The Dixons and Cravens had his back, and with the Dixon Group's power in Plemouth, taking down a couple of reckless kids would be a walk in the park! Straightening up, he pointed at Robin with newfound confidence. "Kid, don't try to intimidate me!
"I have the Dixon Group behind me! The Dixon family is not some small-time player you can mess with!
"If you want to live a little longer, you'd better get lost!
"The Dixon Group's decisions can't be stopped by anyone!
"Whether you want to or not, this transfer agreement is getting signed today!"
Robin snapped his fingers. "No, it isn't."
Lares froze, unsure of what to do next. "Wh-who do you think you are?"
With a blank expression, Robin pointed at Ferell. "Give him a slap, then tell him who I am!"
Slap, slap, slap!
Before Lares could react, Ferell grabbed his hair and started slapping his pudgy face with force. "Grovel!"
Ferell stomped on Lares' leg. "How dare you offend Master Ramsey of Dragon Palace! You're asking for trouble!" Lares, completely stunned by the slaps, still tried to make sense of what was happening.
After a moment, he looked up at Robin.
"Fine, fine! You guys are playing games with your lives. Let me telt you-the Dixons have already used their connections. Even if you don't sign the agreement, the hospital will still be theirs!"
In his mind, Lares dismissed the mention of "Master Ramsey of Dragon Palace" as nonsense.
No one of that caliber would be involved with Delgado Enterprises.
With the Dixon and Craven families teaming up Delgado Enterprises is doomed.
This kid must be trying to deceive me with some elaborate lie. How pathetic!
"Master Ramsey!" Karter rushed into the intensive care unit. "The Dixons, the Cravens, and everyone scheming against Delgado Enterprises are under surveillance. What should we do with them?" Noticing Lares groveling on the floor, Karter froze for a second.
Lares instantly recognized Karter.
He had personally treated Karter, the Captain of the Plemouth Guard, and knew exactly who he was.
Now, hearing Karter address this young man as "Master Ramsey" with the utmost respect, Lares' pynrección faltered
In an instant, he felt utterly defeated.
His body went limp, a cold sweat breaking out all over him as he was consumed by panic and confusion.
For the second time in his life, he felt true despair.
Three years ago, he had barely survived the Blisston disaster.
When he was in a dead end, Delgado Enterprises had given him a second chance.
That was how he had earned the wealth and status he held now.
Surviving that disaster, he had even managed to live more luxuriously than before.
But now, could he survive this?
He had betrayed those who helped him, trampled on those who had given him a hand how could he live with that?
The person in front of him wasn't just some head of a top-tier family like Brighton. He was a supreme leader!noveldrama
Lares immediately dropped to the floor. "Master Ramsey, I didn't know it was really you mercy. I'll go tell the Dixons right now. I won't cooperate with them anymore...
...
Robin ignored him and looked at Karter, "You can just monitor them. Take down both families; we don't need you to do anything else."
Please, show
"Got it, Master Ramsey!" Karter responded.
In that moment, everything clicked.
The forces in Plemouth were already
aligning, each preparing to
devour
the assets of Delgado
swnovel.
Most of Delgado Enterprises' holdings had already been seized by the Dixon and Craven families.
Other families, lower-tier but still powerful, along with former high-ranking executives from Delgado Enterprises, were waiting for their turn, ready to snatch up the leftovers after the Dixons and Cravens had their fill.
What Karter hadn't expected was that Lares would be the one to bring down the final blow.
He knew the truth about Lares and Delgado Enterprises.
Without the Delgados, Lares would have been dead two years ago.
Now, in the midst of their downfall, Lares, who had once been helped by the Delgados, should have at least refrained from adding to their misery. Instead, he was ready to strike the final blow. This wasn't something normal people.would do!
