Chapter 287

After Edward left, Trevon did not leave immediately. He leaned lazily on the couch and drank coffee. He stretched out his well-defined hand and spread his fingers. Trevon raised his hand and held it before his eyes, squinting at the ring on his finger.

The more Trevon looked at the ring, the more beautiful it became. It was dazzling and radiant.

Natalie was his wife.

After looking at it for a while, Trevon pulled out his phone and edited the name of an unknown number to ‘Landor the Assassin’

Trevon eyed the name and decided that it was the perfect description for Edward.

Trevon smiled and called Frank. The call was quickly picked up.

Strangely, it was unusually quiet on Frank’s side. Trevon guessed and asked, “You’re not at the Lithern Club?”

The crisp sound of a keyboard came through the receiver. Frank replied plainly, “What’s the matter?”

Both of them asked questions, but neither of them answered the other’s question.

Trevon could tell from Frank’s voice that Frank was very busy and did not want to talk. Frank even wanted to hang up quickly. Frank urged, “If you have something to say, say it. I’m busy.”

Trevon smiled playfully and teased, “You’re indeed quite busy as a teacher.”

Afraid that Frank’s temper would make him hang up the phone, Trevon did not waste any time and explained his purpose. “Edward wants to discuss a collaboration with you. You can quote your price.”

Hearing this, Frank snorted. “You’re trying to use me as a tool. You don’t want to put yourself out there because you’re afraid your darling wife will fall out with you. Can you be any more cowardly? Why don’t you change your name? Just call yourself Coward Wilson.”

Trevon said, “Get lost.”

Frank summoned a bit more patience, but the tapping of the keyboard

continued. “What is the project that Edward wants to talk about?”

Trevon elaborated, “Edward wants to open the furniture market in Athana. ‘Open’ is not a good term. I think he wants to monopolize the market.”

Edward might appear nice, but he actually had his own strategy for doing things and had a plan for everything. All in all, Edward was decent.

If Edward could find Trevon, it meant that Edward had thought it through carefully.

As for the exact reason, only Edward himself knew.

Frank stopped tapping and said with a hint of roguishness, “That’s quite ambitious. Did Edward want to collaborate with you because he wants to work with your wife?”

Trevon said affirmatively, “Edward doesn’t have the capability.”

It wasn’t that Trevon didn’t think Edward was incapable. It was just that after talking to Edward, Trevon felt that Edward was too cautious. While he had a good personality, Edward would think twice before making any decision just because he was the oldest son of the Landor family.
