When Penn spoke, he was emitting a strong sense of self-confidence from head to toe.
"Grandpa, my leg! My leg is broken!" Jeremiah cried, "You can't let him go like this. You have to revenge me!"
"I won't let go of anyone who dares to hurt you!" Penn suddenly raised his head, and there was a sharp light in his turbid eyes. He pointed at Sylvia and said, "Little girl Sylvia, when I first saw you, you were still in diapers. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and you have become a beautiful young lady!"
Penn's words sounded as if he was reminiscing about the past, but in fact, he was telling Sylvia that when he was fighting in this business circle, she was still a child who drank milk and that she should not be arrogant in front of him.
Sylvia had been in the circle for so many years, how could she not understand the meaning behind Penn's words? She smiled at Penn and said, "Master Rong, I often hear my grandfather mentioning you. He always says that you are highly respected."
Sylvia's words overwhelmed what Penn had just expressed, which made Penn feel that he had just hurt himself.
Penn sneered and said, "Little girl, I've lived for so many years and I've seen through a lot of things. And I earned that respect. I know that when Robert decided to retire, I also retired. Now old men like us only want to have a better life with our descendants. What you've done makes it hard for me."
Sylvia smiled faintly, "Master Rong, we merchants also have pride. This pride doesn't allow us to earn money that goes against our conscience. This is also what my grandfather taught me. Our Lins Group never earns the money in an unethical way!"
Although Sylvia didn't make it clear, her meaning was quite obvious. That was, the one who had earned the money in an illegal way was not a member of the Lins Group.
Penn was in Ningzhong City, and he had the same status as Robert in Yinzhou. He was clear about what Jeremiah had done. When he heard Sylvia's words, he snorted and said, "Little girl, I'm getting old. I am closer to death day by day. I don't want to waste my time on these quarrels. Today's thing, not only you, but even if Robert came here, he would have to give me an explanation!"
"Explanation?" Sylvia raised her long and shapely eyebrows, "What explanation do you want?!"
"It's very simple! Whoever touches my Jere shouldn't leave!" Penn waved his big hand and said in an extremely domineering tone, "Jere is the only descendant of the Rong Family. He has to live his life well!"
"Ha, Jeremiah's way of doing things couldn't allow him to live his life in peace!" Sylvia replied in a firm and forceful manner.
Penn squinted his eyes and said, "Little girl, are you trying to ruin the relationship between you and me?"
As soon as Penn finished his words, he heard a voice full of confidence from the side, "Ruin the relationship? A little girl from Robert's family isn't qualified to offend us, is she?"
"Not bad, she's still a little girl. She's managed the Lins Group for a few years. To put it nicely, she's the president of the Lins Group. To put it bluntly, she's just lucky to inherit something that we've given up on."
"Indeed, even if Robert came, he wouldn't dare to say that he would try to ruin the relationship between us, old fogeys. Sylvia Lin, what right does she have? What kind of confidence does she have?"
