Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 916

"This is my family matter, why is it any concern of yours?" Ralph retorted.

Caleb scoffed disdainfully. "Sure, it's none of my business. But I advise you to cancel your dealings with the Bowen family promptly. Give back whatever you've gained from them.

"Otherwise, if the collaboration falls apart and you end up facing legal consequences, Timothy won't be able to protect you here. Remember, this is Nord City."

Ralph countered, "As you pointed out, this is indeed a branch office, and within the framework of the Barrett Group's regulations, I have the authority to manage collaborations here in Nord City.

"Despite Timothy's position as CEO, he cannot simply order me to terminate the partnership. He, too, must adhere to the established procedures."

Nonetheless, Ralph had already signed the partnership agreement with the Bowen family before Timothy's protocols came into play. This meant that even Timothy had no means to reverse this situation.

Glancing back at Ralph, Timothy retorted, "If you're determined to invite disaster, then I won't stop you."

"Timothy, what do you mean? I'm your uncle; how can you speak to me like this?"

With no intention of staying any longer, Timothy turned on his heel and left the country club.

Caleb settled into the seat in the car beside Timothy. "I figured your uncle would react like this, but I didn't expect you to confront him so directly. It's ridiculous that he still refuses to see reason. How much do you reckon he took in bribes from the Bowen family?"

"The real issue lies in the plots of land they acquired. The Bowen family had no legitimate claim to them. Hence, they teamed up with Uncle Ralph, using the Barrett Group as a cover to first secure the land before transferring it back to the Bowens. Because the Barrett Group isn't based in Nord City, they could also benefit from various subsidies."

It was clear to Timothy that these two parties were working together closely.

Yesterday, Timothy had instructed Heath to delve into the details of the partnership with the Bowens, hoping to uncover any hidden agendas. It only took a brief review to identify the loophole in their plans.

"But what if Mr. Hopkins refuses to cancel the partnership with the Bowen family? It could take a day or two to go through the formal procedures," Caleb expressed his concerns.

Timothy reassured him, "We won't need to follow all the formalities. I'll personally address the issue and officially terminate the partnership with the Bowen family during the signing ceremony two days from now.
