A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 715 Shady Business

Knowing that Victoria was intentionally changing the subject, Christina decided to go along with it. “Okay, spill the beans. What shocking information did you discover?”

Victoria took a sip of her juice, half a cup vanishing quickly, and then cleared her throat before cautiously surveying their surroundings. Satisfied that only Lyle, whom Christina trusted, was present, she began to share the information she had uncovered. “Last night, shortly after we left, something happened at David’s residence. The banquet was abruptly cut short, and there are rumors that a dispute arose between the Labarge cousins over an uneven division of their company. During the altercation, David accidentally stabbed Winston, leading Winston’s family to insist on involving the police. However, David’s mother intervened. She managed to suppress the incident and create an opportunity for further discussion.”

Christina probed further, “But weren’t Winston and David working well together? Why did they suddenly go their separate ways?”

“It appears that Emilia’s entanglement with the two cousins served as the indirect trigger of the altercation. After all, it is difficult for any man to accept his partner betraying him and becoming involved with his own brother. Emilia’s manipulation skills are truly remarkable. She managed to captivate and manipulate both brothers.”

Victoria couldn’t help but sigh as she continued, “One of the main reasons is David’s discontent with a cerrain high–ranking executive in the company. He holds prestigious titles but contributes little to the actual work, yet still receives substantial rewards. David believes that he has put in immense effort for the company, only to be given the position of vice president. He demanded a larger share of the company’s stocks and dividends, or even the opportunity to take over the company itself, but Winston refused to agree. Since David couldn’t do much about the high–ranking executive, he resorted to targeting Winston. This led to a major argument between the two men, and David announced that he would be working independently from that point onward.”

After taking a sip of her juice to quench her thirst, Victoria went on. “Last night, Winston attended the banquet with the intention of making David’s mother their mediator, hoping she could persuade David to change his mind. However, things took a turn for the worse as they started bringing up old matters and arguing with one another. Eventually, it escalated to a physical altercation which was only brought to an end when David ended up stabbing Winston.

“Interestingly, the mysterious high–ranking executive has never shown his face since the company was established. He’s only responsible for providing funds and projects. Occasionally, he’d issue some orders, leaving Winston and David to handle all the legwork. However, this is just one version of the story. There’s another version where it is rumored that the Labarge cousins are involved in some shady business and offended some people they shouldn’t have. They made a fortune through unorthodox means, and now those people are closing in on them. Fearing the consequences, David suggested parting ways and venturing into their respective business endeavors.”

The information Victoria had discovered aligned closely with what Nigel had told Christina. Christina believed that the deteriorating relationship between the Labarge cousins was indeed connected to both versions of the rumors.

It was Nigel who had provided the funding to establish the company. Despite having already amassed a fortune fifteen years prior, the cousins sought to repeat their misdeeds, this time aiming at their former benefactor, Nigel.
