Flores?”
Leonard Reid stared at Oscar Miller, his brows furrowed, unexpectedly confronted by the situation before him.
Isn’t Carson Flores new to Polgel?
How did he end up having a feud with Oscar Miller, who is unrelated to him by any stretch?
Because of a woman?
Samantha Tate is indeed very beautiful, and it would be normal for Oscar Miller to be moved by her.
Oscar Miller replied with a smile, “Not exactly a grudge, but there are so old scores that need to be settled.”
Old scores?
Leonard Reid thought for a mont, attempting to resolve the discord between Oscar Miller and Carson Flores—after all, the Miller Family had both wealth and power.
If Carson Flores were to collide with them, it might not end well for him.
“I have a certain acquaintance with your father, and Mr.
Flores is a benefactor of mine.
Could the Miller Family consider, for my sake, letting this matter slide without further discussion?”
Oscar Miller said with a laugh, “Personal ties are one thing; this matter should really not involve Mr.
Reid.
After all, it has nothing to do with you.
Even if Carson Flores saved your grandson, I’m sure you’ve paid a hefty fee for his services.
You don’t owe him anything.”
Leonard Reid’s frown deepened, a hint of displeasure rising in his heart.
Oscar Miller was showing no regard for him at all.
Between the lines, he was pressuring him to choose between Carson Flores and the Miller Family.
Moreover, he seed quite certain that Leonard would choose the Miller Family.
Yes, any sensible person would choose the Miller Family.
But Leonard Reid did not choose.
Leonard Reid, who rose from a penniless nobody to his current status in such a short ti, did so by being bold and having keen foresight.
If Oscar Miller wanted to target the Gilliam Family and Carson Flores, why would he seek out Leonard Reid?
Wouldn’t it be better to let the Gilliam Family gain first, and then lose?
If he approached Leonard, that ant he was wary of Carson Flores and had no intention of confronting him directly.
Hence, he was taking this roundabout way to involve Leonard, hoping to use him to deal Carson Flores a silent blow.
Leonard Reid was wary of the Miller Family, but that didn’t an he was afraid of them.
He smiled slightly, “It seems that I won’t be able to cooperate with the Miller Family this ti.
Perhaps in the future, we can discuss another opportunity.”
Oscar Miller’s face turned visibly ugly in an instant.
He had co confidently, even dangling the carrot of helping Leonard Reid secure plot number 43, but Leonard Reid had actually refused!
Oscar Miller clenched his teeth and forced a smile, “Since it’s inconvenient for Mr.
Reid, let’s leave it at that.
We can look forward to collaborating in the future.”
Leonard Reid smiled, “As the heir to the Miller Family, Mr.
Miller, you have a promising future; surely there will be opportunities for us to work together.”
Oscar Miller harbored resentnt in his heart.
Leonard Reid was pointing out that he was rely an heir.
You’re just the heir now; you haven’t taken over as the Family Head yet.
You’re in no position to challenge and threaten !
“Mr.
Reid, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.
I wish you success with your project and abundant prosperity,” Oscar Miller said.
Leonard Reid smiled, “Take care, and give my regards to your father.”
“Certainly.”
Oscar Miller feigned a smile and gracefully left the banquet hall, exited the hotel, and got into the limousine.
As the car door shut, Oscar Miller’s expression instantly darkened, his face twisted with rage, his eyes ablaze as he punched the seat hard.
Today, he had intended to intimidate Adan Gilliam into submitting his daughter to his bed.
Yet unexpectedly, he ran into Carson Flores.
He was firstly humiliated without rcy by Carson Flores, followed by Leonard Reid’s ruthless rejection.
He had been slapped in the face twice in a row.
Humiliating!
It was utterly disgraceful!
After venting his anger, Oscar Miller lifted his head and said, “Uncle Roth, how do you compare to Jamie Webb of the Webb Family in Qinling in terms of strength?”
The silver-haired old man driving the car smiled faintly, “He’s just a desperate man who risks his life for money.
To kill him, at most ten moves.”
Oscar Miller nodded, “Find an opportunity to make a trip and capture Carson Flores and Samantha Tate together.
The humiliation of today, I shall repay tenfold!”
The silver-haired old man nodded calmly, his voice as light as a cloud, “Very well.”
…
The banquet hall.
Kye Stein, Leonard Reid’s secretary, was on stage announcing the companies that had won the bids to participate in the business center project.
They would be involved in this project, responsible for various business aspects.
The nad companies showed delight, for this was a major project.
No matter the role, it was bound to be highly profitable by the end.
“Finally, I announce the company that will co-develop the business center with Longteng Real Estate is…”
All the guests’ gazes were fixed on Kye Stein, their eyes filled with tense anticipation.
To work shoulder to shoulder with Longteng Real Estate and own shares— even if those were a small percentage, it was still a substantial profit.
Soaring to the skies and advancing rapidly wouldn’t be an overstatent.
Which lucky company would get the opportunity?
In the crowd, Adan Gilliam pursed his lips, his complexion unnaturally flushed with tension.
He had originally planned to connect with Leonard Reid through Carson Flores to secure this partnership.
However, after learning the full extent of his daughter’s relationship with Carson, he lost the heart to do so.
Although he knew that Haitao Real Estate could not compare and the chances were slim, he couldn’t help feeling anxious at the mont of the announcent.
What if they actually won?
Onstage, Kye Stein’s gaze swept over the crowd, keeping everyone in suspense before finally settling on Adan Gilliam and announcing the final answer with a smile.
“Haitao Real Estate!”
