A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Sam didn't answer. Instead, he asked one of the men in black behind him to bring two boxes. "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is if you're familiar with these," he said as the boxes were placed and opened in front of the head of the supplier.

The head of the supplier opened his eyes wide in a mixture of greed and surprise when he saw that the boxes were filled to the brim with cash. It was much more money than what Darren had offered him. He quickly pushed away the beautiful women beside him, his eyes fixed on the boxes of cash.

"Let's have a talk, shall we? This way, please," Sam said. The head of the supplier, who had been acting in a threatening manner until now, suddenly smiled and nodded politely.

After all, no one in the world disliked money. . . . . . .

The next day, Darren asked Harlan to take the contract he had prepared to the head of the supplier. To his shock, Harlan came back with the news that the supplier was no longer willing to enter into the cooperation contract with the KING Group.

"What? That old man said he wouldn't cooperate with us?" Darren asked, standing up abruptly in disbelief. "What did he say?" he added.

Harlan hesitated for a moment before telling Darren the truth. "He said that he got a better deal."

Darren was taken aback. This reason was too far-fetched and made no sense. Just the night before, the head of the supplier had been elated about his offer. Moreover, Darren had made sure to keep him happy by providing him with beautiful women for company. By right, the cooperation should have gone off without a hitch. But now, all of a sudden, that ungrateful man was refusing to cooperate with them! There was no doubt about it⁠—someone must have intervened.

"Harlan, keep an eye on that old man and see who he meets."

"Yes, sir."

As expected, Harlan saw the old man going to a restaurant right after leaving his company.

The head of the supplier had specially invited Jacob to dinner to express his gratitude. Jacob personally had no interest in meeting him, but he had shown up anyway because he knew that there was someone else who would definitely want to see him today. . . When Harlan saw that it was Jacob who was having dinner with the head of the supplier, he immediately reported the news to Darren. Darren hadn't expected Jacob to be the one who had intervened with his business.
