Could it be him?
“You're right. It's me,” Dustin said, walking over to a sofa to take a seat.
“Could you give us a moment?” Larry gestured to his assistant.
“What do you want?” the man questioned as he got up to walk over to the other man in the room.
Dustin sneered.
What's with the face? Is he scared?
“What else can I do? I merely bought some shares,” Dustin answered.
Those scumbags! How could they sell the shares
to him when they knew we have beef!
Larry clenched his fists tightly in anger.
“I'll do my best, Mr. Norton. It'll be nice working with you!” Dustin walked towards Larry and stretched out his right hand.
No wonder you're a doctor. Look how hypocritical you look!
Larry grunted.
“Mr. Silverman, it's been a while! I look forward to a great cooperation with you as well!” he grumpily said and shook Dustin's outstretched hand.
Ring! Ring!
Gabriella glanced at the caller ID and answered the call immediately.
“Hello, Ms. Ward. We've looked around a few times, but we still can't find the recording you've mentioned,” a man reported.
Useless trash! Why can't you find it?
Gabriella frowned, her eyes narrowing in deep contemplation.
“Keep looking! He must have a backup hidden somewhere in the house!” she yelled.
“We've searched the house several times, and there's no sign of it. Besides...” the man hesitated.
“Besides what?” the woman asked coldly.
“Besides us, I believed someone else came by looking for something as well,” the man answered.
Damn it!
Gabriella gripped her hands tightly.
Could it be Larry? Her eyes dimmed at the thought.
“Find it! I don't care how you do it. Even if you have to flip the house upside down to get it, do it! Or else, you won't get the remaining money I promised!” Gabriella hung up in a huff after that.
Oh Larry, I guess I've underestimated you!
