Female Novel
Chapter 71 This guy is Bragging
Elijah is finished.
In just a few days he leapt to become a big hit within the company, and he could be in the position as a
director in the future.
But unbelievably, Crane's few words decided the end of his career of more than ten years.
"Give me one more chance, Boss Smith, please!"
Elijah knew that he had offended many people, especially in the past few days many people inside and
outside the company had been reprimanded and humiliated by him.
Once he lost his current position then he would inevitably face retribution from those people.
"Get out!"
Finley snorted and reprimanded the man for getting out.
Elijah still wanted to say something but didn't have a chance, and was directly dragged away by the
security guards brought by Finley.
"Boss Smith, any more orders?"
The incident with Elijah was just a minor incident.
Crane rested his chin as a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"This Elijah has so much guts, it looks like the reaction on that end is pretty intense."
"What do you mean?"
Finley showed a different look, somewhat confused.
Crane said directly, "Before, Elijah knew that I had something on him, yet he still dared to lay hands on
my wife, so there is only one possibility-"
"Aston is testing my boundaries!"novelbin
Finley's face changed abruptly and he fell to his knees violently.
"Boss Smith, I'm guilty!"
He had a stony look on his face.
He hadn't thoroughly investigated inside the company before, and if it wasn't for Crane, he would lose
the project and would have been murdered by his subordinates.
Crane waved his hand and said, "There is no need for that, you and I are originally on the same side,
since the other side started to test me, it means one thing, they are desperate."
"You prepare for the start of the acquisition of the Scott's estate."
"This ......"
Finley said, "Boss Smith, if we go straight for it, I'm only afraid that the Scott family will fight us, plus the
one from the Smith family in Magic City, this matter will be difficult to deal with afterwards."
Crane nodded slightly, but then shook his head.
"Just let them make a mess."
"Just a bunch of clowns, I wouldn't care about them yet, but of course the security around you will have
to be beefed up. I'm worried they'll get into some crooked tricks if they can't do us head on."
"Yes."
Finley left soon.
Travis, who was left behind, glanced at Crane and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go for a drink?"
"Sure, this meal is on me."
Crane smiled brightly and left with Mr. Travis.
On the road, Travis was full of hobbling steps, looking as if he had something to say but never opened
his mouth.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Crane opened his mouth.
Travis shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Mr. Smith, do you know that my granddaughter has
been talking about you recently, and was almost going to follow me when she learned that I was
coming to see you before, but I stopped her."
"I was trying to set you up before, and this time is a good opportunity, but I did not expect that you
actually already have a family."
As Crane heard, a figure flooded his mind and he couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Palmer seems to be just
twenty, right?"
"Yes."
Travis glanced deeply at Crane, "Mr. Smith, I heard about you and Ms. Chambers, although you
haven't gotten a license to get married, but after all, you have children, so I will not speak for my
granddaughter, but you have to meet her, or my bones will be torn apart by her."
Hearing the old man's words, Crane couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"Mr. Travis, you can rest assured that I will talk to Ms. Palmer about this matter, but I'm afraid what you
really want to talk about is not this matter."
"Mr. Smith, you are smart."
Travis froze for a moment, then laughed out loud, but quickly became serious.
"Mr. Smith, what I want to tell you is that this urban village construction project will be very involved,
and I've already been approached by someone before coming here, saying that they want me to help
them."
"The Watson family?"
"Exactly."
Travis responded, "This Watson family has sent someone to the capital to find me before, saying that
they want me to help them set up an underground casino, and it's extremely large, even if it's not as
good as Las Vegas, but it's definitely extremely upscale. What do you think they want?"
Crane smiled and was silent for a moment before he said, "I've also gotten some information, the black
market, the assassin association, and then a large casino, this matter is definitely not simple."
"It's fortunate that I was a step early, or you would still be in a difficult position, Mr. Travis."
"You are right, the Watson family has some contacts in the capital, they used that to contact me. If your
people didn't happen to arrive only I would be angry with those guys."
"A casino, huh, something like gambling can get people killed, I can't be the executioner!"
He couldn't stop holding his crutches to the ground.
Crane smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I also didn't expect the Watson family would actually reach out
to that end of the capital."
"I'm more curious though, what exactly are they trying to do? Even if they can't match the Lawson
family in business, there's no need to play these tricks."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
This Watson family is completely playing outside the rules.
Since the Watson family and the Smith family wanted to play, then he would play well with them!
Back at home, Flora came up to him and asked eagerly, "Crane, what did Elijah say? Did he give you a
hard time?"
With that, she wanted to see if Crane had any injuries on his body, which made the corners of Crane's
mouth curl up with a warm smile.
"Don't worry, Elijah won't come to give you a hard time in the future, he's been fired."
"What, you don't have a high fever, do you?"
Flora stared at Crane in a daze.
The corners of Crane's mouth twitched slightly as he waved his hand and said, "In a few more minutes,
Finley will call you about the contract signing."
"You're really sick."
Flora gave him a blank look.
He was bragging.
She shouted towards the room, "Nadia, get your father some fever-reducing medicine!"
Crane, "......"
Half a minute later, Nadia trotted out, a box of pills and a cell phone in one hand.
"Mommy, Mommy, there's a man wants to talk to you."
Nadia shoved the phone at Flora, who glanced at the unfamiliar call.
She instinctively tried to hang up but was stopped by Crane.
"Listen first before you decide to hang up."
"Okay."
Seeing this guy's mysterious appearance, Flora picked up the phone, "Who is it, please?"
"You're Finley Saunders?"
"What is going on?"
Flora asked casually, but then she froze in place.
