Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 360

Sergio was taken aback by his words. Soon, he raised his head and turned to look at Yadriel. A confident smile was etched on his face.

"Don't worry, Dad. I am your son! Believe me, I will make sure you're satisfied with the outcome, but meanwhile you must give me the freedom to make my own choices.”

"Very well. You're a big boy now. It's only expected that you know how to make choices and take responsibility," spoke Yadriel in a muffled voice as he took the hot towel handed over by the servant to wipe the corners of his mouth gently.

Sergio pursed his thin lips. A faint smirk appeared.

At that moment, a housekeeper walked up to them, cautiously informing them. "Mr. Xanthe, there are two people outside, who go by the names Kyrie and Eamon, asking to see you."

Yadriel's eyes widened ever so slightly before he instructed the housekeeper. "Bring them to the study."

"Yes, sir," responded the housekeeper dutifully before he left.

"Dad, it seems that they have no choice but to ask you for help." Sergio put his bowl down, with a smile on his face.

Yadriel snorted coldly, his eyes emanating an icy blaze. "Sergio, whatever happens in the future, you must know what to do. Never be soft-hearted and indecisive."

Once again, the corners of Sergio's lips lifted up into a smile. "It seems that you are still worried about me. Why is my life so miserable? Even my very own father doesn't believe in me."

"Cut it out. There can't be any accidents," Yadriel reminded him again as he shot him a glance.

"Got it, Dad. I'll head out first," Sergio announced before walking out.

Yadriel, on the other hand, arrived at the study.

"Mr. Xanthe." Once Yadriel entered the room, Kyrie and Eamon hurriedly bowed down to greet him. Kyrie even almost fell over. After all, he had personally seen the cruelty of which the man before his eyes was capable of. That year, one of his men accidentally leaked out some information about the guns in the ammunition warehouse. Having asked a single question, Yadriel had swiftly ended that man's life with a pistol.

At the moment, he was also facing the danger of being investigated by Hansen. More importantly, his family's life and the relatives who worked in the factory were all in danger too. If Hansen were to discover anything, it would anger the man before his eyes, and consequently have his entire family executed.

"Why did you come?" Yadriel mused slowly as he settled into his chair.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Kyrie beamed as he answered. "Mr. Xanthe, I came here today to report some things to you, and to ask you for some suggestions."

"Oh." Feigning ignorance, Yadriel looked up at him with interest. "What's the matter? I'll hear you out."

"Alright." Kyrie took a step forward, his smile brighter. "Okay, so currently, the petrochemical factory is in distress. A large number of workers quit making a living elsewhere. It's not a big deal though. Since it's located in a remote area, the things produced can't meet the demands of the market as well. Such a phenomenon is inevitable. However, another problem had arisen recently. At first, I thought it was a good thing since someone is going to invest a hundred million dollars worth of capital. This will help strengthen the lives of many employees, but..."

When Kyrie got to that point, he stopped talking. He avoided talking about the arms manufacturing plant and talked about the petrochemical factory. He did so not only to prove to Yadriel that he had always been a cautious, tight-lipped person, and that he would never talk nonsense, but also to dispel his concerns.

"What's wrong? Someone is going to invest in it. This is a good thing indeed. You should be happy." Yadriel laughed.

"Yes, it's a good thing." Kyrie nodded his head repeatedly. However, the smile on his face had turned ghastly. "The thing is, if they would invest their money after signing a contract, then all's good. However, the person investing is of an impressive background. Not only does he want to invest, he also wants to investigate the background of the old factory, and to reform it. He even wants to buy our main petrochemical factory, making things very tricky."

After listening, Yadriel grinned. Appearing unstirred, he bluntly replied, "It's a good thing that someone wants to invest and reform the factory. Currently, domestic business is thriving. If the petrochemical factory can't keep up, not only will it be a burden to the country, it will also make the lives of the employees harder. Hence, it's a must to reform it. There's nothing bad about it. Kyrie, do you have something you're not satisfied with, or something you have trouble saying?"

Upon hearing those words, both Kyrie and Eamon were rendered stupefied.

They simply couldn't figure out what Mr. Xanthe had up his sleeve.

It was obvious that he had come to Wullen Town only after hearing the news, yet at the moment, he didn't talk about it at all. Instead, he preached about reforming the company. If there weren't weapons and dangerous petrochemical materials in there, a reform would naturally be a good thing. Anyone with a sharp mind would be aware of that. So, why was he acting so nonchalant?

However, if that's the case, then after Hansen took over, Kyrie would not be able to be the head of the factory, as well as the head of the committee anymore. Everything he had done would be exposed too. The charge of smuggling arms was not a small matter.

The more he thought about it, the more his legs turned to jelly. If everything remained undiscovered, it would be good. However, if something went wrong, they would be the ones in the greatest danger.

At that moment, he stood there speechlessly. His entire body was covered in sweat.

"Mr. Xanthe, Hansen Richards is the president of the biggest company to this day. He is supported by both domestic and international funds. Of course, it's a good thing that such a person will invest in our petrochemical factory. However, he is very astute. He won't simply make an investment. I'm afraid he has other purposes." From the side, Eamon took over the conversation.

"Hansen? Oh, him." Yadriel laughed, before replying calmly. "No matter how outstanding he is, how talented he is, how much funds he has, he is still just a businessman in the business world. He's only another rich man. Do you understand?"

Kyrie and Eamon got what he meant. He was saying that Hansen was just a businessman, and no matter how powerful he was, he's no match for someone within the political circle, like Yadriel. In other words, such a person posed no threat to him at all.
