Ryan broke into a cold sweat upon hearing that.
Of course, he wasn't worried about Donald. Is the Harper family insane? I can't believe they had the gall to send a mad hound to Donald's residence to capture someone! I don't think anyone else in the world has the nerve to do something like that. “What would you like me to do, Mr. Campbell?”
Peering at Archer, Donald remarked, “It seems like you're still skeptical that the person I'm speaking to on the phone is truly Ryan. In that case, tell me what it will take for you to believe he's the real deal.”
Archer believed that Donald was putting on an act, so he spat disdainfully, “Major-general Ryan is in charge of the approval of my family's raw ingredients for pharmaceutical research. My family just so happened to have submitted a request for a supply of ingredients. If you can make him deny that request, I'll believe you.”
In response, Donald showed him a thumbs up. This is the first time I've seen someone asking for their family to be sabotaged to confirm someone's identity.
Promptly, he shifted his attention back to the phone. “Did you hear that, Ryan?”
Ryan sneered, “I heard it loud and clear, Mr. Campbell. Don't worry. I'll reject all the Harper family's applications right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Donald turned to Archer. “Give me three minutes.”
“All right. I'll wait for three minutes.” Archer waved his hand, gesturing for his bodyguards to stand down, planted himself on the living room couch, and rested his legs on the coffee table.
As he didn't remove his footwear, the dirt on his leather shoes dropped onto the coffee table, which irked Jennifer.
Donald opted to call Ryan to resolve the issue because he didn't want to cause a scene in his house.
However, Archer didn't grasp that.
Crossing his legs, he stared at Jennifer and arrogantly demanded, “You there. Prepare a cup of coffee for me.”
