Chapter 222 Are What You Said True?

With a faint smile on his face, Christopher told Harold everything about Liliana and Brandon. As soon as Harold heard what Christopher had said, he was immediately dumbfounded and stunned. Soon, a joking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; as if he had just thought of something, he was about to laugh out loud. There were some things that Christopher didn’t know but he himself was very clear of. After Liliana seized the Brentwood City’s Art and Craft Limited Company from Brandon, there had been a ton of problems arising afterward. If this was not the case, Liliana would not have even come to seek shelter from Harold in the first place. With this in mind, Harold said to Christopher, “Divine Doctor Yard, how about you pass this matter to me directly? I can guarantee that, if you want to find someone to acquire the company, the best candidate would definitely be me!” Christopher, who was heading to Brandon’s Company, stopped when he heard these words from Harold. With a look of interest on his face, he asked, “How so?” “After the chairman of the Brentwood City’s Art and Craft Limited Company was changed to Liliana, there were many internal problems in the company, and many employees left their jobs. More importantly, Liliana also tried to evade taxes.” Immediately, Christopher, who initially still had doubts in his eyes, brightened up with joy when he heard about ‘tax evasion’. He knew very well that this charge could send Liliana straight to prison. He turned to look at Harold as he asked with some uncertainty in his voice, “Is what you said... true?” Harold didn’t hesitate in the slightest; he nodded with absolute certainty. “Very well. Initially, I planned to get President Dune to help me with this, but if I hand it over to you instead, I’m sure you will be able to take it down without any effort,” Christopher immediately raised the corner of his lips and said. As soon as he heard of ‘President Dune’ from Christopher, Harold immediately understood that it must have been Andy who offered to help Christopher, or else with Christopher’s character, he would have definitely looked for him instead. “Divine Doctor Yard, leave this to me. Based on what I know about Liliana, she will not give in easily. I will buy her company directly. If the negotiation does not go well, I will still take all the shares of the company at a premium on stock. Anyway, I will not let this woman gain any benefit out of this.” Harold showed a confident look on his face. He then looked at Christopher next to him and spoke with a smile. Christopher, who had some understanding about stocks and stock premiums, was a little taken aback by what Harold said. This means he will buy the stocks with double the stock price. If it was originally 30 dollars per share, the buyer would raise the price directly to 60 dollars per share. At that point, it’ll all depend on whether the company will sell it or not, Christopher thought to himself. Of course, this was only reserved for the worst-case scenario. For Harold, there was no need to spend so much money at all on this. About what he said about paying stock premium to get the company, Christopher reckoned that he was just trying to get him into handing over this to him. “I will talk to Andy now and tell him to leave this to me, so that he won’t waste so much money on buying over Liliana’s company.” After Harold finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone. Christopher nodded. It was indeed better to leave this matter to Harold instead. Soon after that, he came to the ward where Emma was and found that the little girl's condition was getting much better. “Chris, you’re here. I feel so much better now. Dad even said that I have become smarter. I have been good, and I didn’t make the nurses angry. When they told me not to move, I didn't move.” When Emma saw Christopher, her little face showed an elated expression. Immediately, she stretched her chubby little hand out to tug on Christopher and spoke. Seeing how warm Emma was to him, Christopher couldn’t help but let out a gentle smile. This little girl was really simple and cute—so cute to the point that Christopher couldn’t bear for others to hurt her. After putting Emma to bed, Christopher discussed with Brandon about the Brentwood City’s Art and Craft Limited Company. After discussing it for a long time, Christopher suddenly frowned. “Are you saying that Liliana is also related to the Kelley Family?” Christopher asked as soon as he heard about this part. Brandon nodded, unsure why Christopher would ask such a question. Then, he continued, “Yes, Liliana had maintained a good relationship with the Kelleys before she was even the chairman. Now that she is the chairman, she must have more business contacts with the Kelley Family, and there are probably many projects that have been successfully negotiated between them.” Hearing that, Christopher slammed on the table gently and took a deep breath. If it were just Liliana herself, it would’ve been more than easy to deal with. But if the Kelley Family is involved, and their interests are harmed, I am not sure if the Kelley Family’s people will stay still. Should that happen, can the Dune Family really withstand the Kelley’s power? As a matter of fact, the profit from the food and beverage industry was also very large. If one got to cooperate with Kelley Family, the profit would inevitably be even greater. In that case, if Christopher wanted to buy the company, he was not sure if the Kelley Family would just let it be. After thinking about it for a while, Christopher decided to stop thinking about it anymore. It would be better to ask Harold directly about this. After Brandon finished telling Christopher about the company’s situation, he nodded and walked out of the ward. When Christopher came out, Harold was waiting at the side. Without waiting for Christopher to speak, Harold’s face showed a look of helplessness. “Divine Doctor Yard, after a few rounds of convincing, Andy agreed to let me take over, but Kevin also found out about this as well and refused my offer. He said that he must help you acquire that company personally, and money is not a problem.” Hearing that, Christopher also gave a wry smile on his face. He knew Kevin’s short temper very well—he was someone who had to accomplish whatever he had set his mind to. Immediately, Christopher waved his hand dismissively. “If that's the case, forget it. The Dune Family is loaded anyway, so acquiring the company should be a trivial matter for them.” Harold kept a smile on his face, but he was very disappointed deep down. Damn you, Kevin. I already had a plan to win the fight without needing to use money, but you insisted on using money anyway! Didn’t I tell you that I had something on Liliana! How stubborn is this bloody old man? Damn. Now Christopher owes me one less favor. After discussing the matter, Christopher was about to talk to Harold about the entertainment magazine again. However, his phone rang suddenly; when he looked at it, he found that it was Andy on the caller ID. “Hey, is it Chris? This is Kevin.” Hearing this familiar voice caught Christopher off-guard, and then he said, “Yes, Old Mr. Dune. What’s the matter?” “Chris, don't worry. I will help you acquire Brentwood City’s Art and Craft Limited Company soon, so you don’t need to get other people involved in this. By the way, I will transfer the last 13 million to you later. That kid, Andy, didn’t even look into this, leaving me in such a hurry.”A slightly rough voice played from Christopher’s phone.
