Love Began with the First Meeting

Brian's tone was casual, "Well, I got it from you after all. Years ago, you had canceled the 'crystal' project just for Shirley, didn't you?" Harrow slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't know much about what had happened in the Long family in the past.

But Tony knew almost everything. That was why he held his breath when he felt the atmosphere in the room get heavier. It seemed like there was an invisible hand grabbing his neck, making it hard for him to breathe.

Years back, when Mr. Long was still in charge of the Dragon Island, there was a big oil project on Sun Island which was worth about a billion. The entire money of the Dragon Empire Group was invested in this project. If the project was canceled, there would have been unspeakable damage, not only to the Dragon Empire Group, but also to the economy of the Dragon Island. This would have also affected the power of the Long family on the island. But Mr. Long still canceled the 'crystal' project for his wife despite everyone's objection.

Richie stared at his cold and arrogant son for a moment, then the corners of his lips lifted into a smirk. He said in a cold tone, "I had a back-up plan that would have definitely worked. How about you?"

"Your back-up plan? You mean throwing Justin in jail, thus making the conservative faction and the reformist faction stop their fight due to societal pressure?" Richie's tone was extremely cold, as if the person he was talking to was not his own son at all. His words were laced with mockery. It sounded like he found it very funny that his son would have such a ridiculous back-up plan. With his sharp gaze on Brian's face, he continued, "Is that really your so-called back-up plan? Is that really your trump card? If so, I don't know what to say."

Brian squinted his eyes at his father and his jaw tightened a bit. He replied in an indifferent tone, "I will handle the consequences. This is my choice and my decision. You don't need to worry about it!"

and turned around, ready to leave. A few steps away from the door, he stopped. He slightly turned his head back to look at Brian, then said to him, "Brian, sometimes you have to think twice before you act, even if you have the capability to deal with the consequences. If you really choose to go through such self-inflicted harm, then it means that you have
