Jay Ares came and left like a cyclone, leaving traces of shame and embarrassment in his wake. Throwing Bell Enterprises into new heights of frantic frenzy.
As per the given orders, Grayson stayed behind to investigate the cause of Rose’s injuries, the youth a physical embodiment of Grand Asia’s hegemonic spirit.
"Chairman Bell, my President would like to enquire the identity of the persons behind Rose Boyle’s injuries —" Grayson supplemented, in case he was not clear enough, "That is to say, all the persons involved in either directly or indirectly causing Rose Loyle harm. I would greatly appreciate it if Mr. Chairman could be s o kind to give their names, as per my President’s orders." 1
Chairman Bell was at a loss. Just because Jay Ares was an invincible businessman, it did not mean he would fear Jay’s closer subordinates.
"Grand Asia and Bell Enterprises have always been close friends, Grayson. I'm pretty sure Master Ares told you to find the culprit because he was clouded momentarily with rage, so how about I find you a scapegoat to hand over? You might as well take everyone from Bell Enterprises if you're going to investigate it like that."
Grayson replied with an elegant smile, "What are you
saying, Mr. Chairman? I'm simply doing my job.”
Chairman Bell glared. "Master Ares trusts you the most, does he not? As long as you promise not to give u p Nancy's name, I'll pay you any sum you request. Within a reasonable range, of course.”
Tilting his head downwards, Grayson chuckled.
For a smile so warm and gentle, it ran shivers up people's spines.
"Bribing me, are you, Chairman Bell?" Grayson lifted his gaze to beam at Chairman Bell.
The Chairman squinted slightly. For a reason unbeknownst to him, this young man was hardly an open book to read, despite his glowing smile and an attitude of dispatch to worldly matters.
The youth’s complexity and shrewdness making him difficult to predict and understand.
"What? Is it not enough?" He asked, in an attempt to close the gap between them.
Grayson's gaze fell and lingered on Nancy Bell like the setting sun as he spoke casually, "The fact that Miss Bell was the one who harmed Rose Boyle is a judgment the President himself concluded after investigating. There's not much I can do to help her."
Nancy's face paled in fear as she shakily crawled her way to Chairman Bell, wailing, "Save me, Daddy!”
