“Jayden, regarding that cooperation we discussed last time, I have already notified my nephew. You should schedule a detailed discussion.”
The discussion about collaboration between the Dunn Group and The Lilliputs began several months ago.
However, it has been left hanging. Jayden Dunn swallowed his pride and brought it up a few times with Mason Lilliput, who always responded, “No rush, the time isn’t right yet.”
It seems that the time has finally arrived now.
Jayden Dunn exchanged a glance with his son, then said,
“Mr. Lilliput, I’ve recently been caught up between one thing after another at home, and given my age, I can’t handle much more. Now, both company and family matters are primarily in Theo’s hands. If there will be a discussion, Theo will handle it.”
His words sounded reasonable enough.
However, there was an unavoidable tinge of negligence beneath them.
After all, Jayden Dunn is the president of the Dunn Group, and having Theo, the vice president, handle the matter, gives off an impression of lowering the standard.
A flash of displeasure darted across Mason Lilliput’s eyes, but he soon laughed and said,
“Fine, young people can be impressive! I will give you my nephew’s contact information and you can talk specifics.”
Theo Dunn said with neither humility nor haughtiness, “Thank you, Mr. Lilliput.”
That was all he said; he didn’t ask anything else about the collaboration or whether anything else was needed.
Seeing Theo’s assumption of all being well, Mason Lilliput slightly frowned.
Seeing that father and son didn’t take the initiative to ask, he had to speak again.
“Jayden, that freight plan that you and Theo proposed earlier, I thought it was quite good.”
Upon hearing these words, was there any doubt left about his intentions?
The primary purpose of his invitation today must be for this.
“Mr. Lilliput, that was several months ago. Given the current tense situation, if we proceed according to that plan, we, being in a vulnerable position, might not be able to withstand it.”
Theo’s words clearly indicated his refusal.
Hearing this, Duke’s face could no longer conceal his displeasure.
“Theo, what do you mean by that?”
But Theo had a clear understanding and view of why they were invited here today.
“Mr. Lilliput, you must have heard that Roy Lewis and my cousin are together now, openly antagonizing us. In the past few months, the Dunn Group has been so suppressed that we can barely breathe. Even if you are willing to cooperate with us, first, we have no spare capacity, and second, we are afraid that you may get involved.”
While Theo’s words sounded like he was talking about his own shortcomings and inability,
In reality, he was letting Mason Lilliput know that the conditions proposed a few months ago were no longer feasible for cooperation.
Mason Lilliput remained silent, his gaze deep.
Jayden Dunn anxiously switched his gaze between his son and Mason.
Theo gave him a look, indicating he should maintain composure.
So, Jayden Dunn continued to drink his tea, turning himself into a standard display piece.
Mason Lilliput was a person of strong aura and ambition,
Even seasoned players like Jayden Dunn often broke out in a cold sweat in his presence.
Yet, Theo seemed completely unbothered by the pressure Mason exerted, calmly drinking his tea.
In the end, it was a brooding Mason Lilliput who spoke first.
“What’s so frightening about Roy Lewis? Right now, he might already be a wandering soul somewhere!”
The scene of Roy Lewis being lifted out of the car after Denny Thompson’s collisions was horrific.
But the military hospital is not an ordinary one, where most patients are key figures and even janitors must pass through various screenings to work.
Therefore, patient information can hardly be accessed from the outside.
The Thompsons and Mason Lilliput could only guess Roy Lewis’s conditions based on his appearance at the time.
Jayden Dunn and Theo Dunn were surprised to hear what he said.
After a while, Jayden Dunn incredulously asked,
“Mr. Lilliput, are you implying that Roy Lewis…is dead?”
Mason Lilliput nodded, “99.9% likely. Think about it, the car was hit to the other side of the road, rolled over several times, and he was brought out bloody and battered. There’s a huge hole in his head, bleeding endlessly. How could he not be dead? Unless Hua Tuo returns from the dead, we can only hope for a miracle.”
It was only at this moment that Theo seemed to regain his senses, “If he’s really dead, The Lewis’ can’t possibly be this calm.”
Mason Lilliput scoffed, “Well then, what can they do? No one else in The Lewis besides Roy has the ability to take over the Lewis Group and The Lewis family. If they don’t keep it a secret, should they wait for a stock market meltdown at Lewis?”
Jayden Dunn then asked, “Did…Mr. Lilliput, did you check his whereabouts?”
Mason Lilliput nodded, “Of course, he hasn’t appeared at the Lewis Group for quite some time, and he hasn’t been seen coming in and out of his house either, almost half a month now.”
But in fact, Roy Lewis’s accident only happened a few days ago.
However, in order to enhance the credibility, Mason Lilliput also added the time when Roy Lewis was absent due to a business trip.
However, Theo argued, “Roy Lewis has a chronic illness and often works from home. Isn’t that regular?”
Since his sister used to hover around Roy Lewis, they were aware of some of his habits and schedules..
