Chapter 171 The Bronze Grandfather Clock
As if she could feel Donald’s current state of mind, Reina took the liberty to hold his right hand beforetelling him her thoughts in a soft voice. “I’m always by your side, waiting for you no matter whathappens.”
When Jennifer saw that, her heart sank. Slowly, a bitter smile started to form on her face.
“Don’t bother following Donald anymore. Once Mr. Tyrone has freed up some time, Donald will be hisfirst target. When he starts his attack on Donald, do you think that anyone in Pollerton could protectDonald? Even in the entire country, no one could defend him, not even Charles! Ladies, you shouldfollow me instead!” Jack sneered.
“Come now, Jack! Don’t be too ambitious and leave one for me,” Winston reminded with a smile. “Youcan take Wynter, but Jennifer is mine!”
Derrick guffawed loudly. “In that case, I’ll take Reina. That girl is decent!”
“That’s enough! Go back and pass the message to Tyrone that I’ll take this grandfather clock.” Donaldwalked to the grandfather clock and looked at Sixten straight in the eye. “Don’t worry. It will definitelyappear at your place as your coffin.”
Sixten did not lose his composure at all, and instead, he had a sudden urge to laugh. “No problem. Myapartment is located on the thirty-third floor. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Are you kidding me? The grandfather clock will appear at my house and become my coffin? It can’t evenfit into the elevator! Unless he is planning to lift it using a helicopter?
After hearing their exchange, Raymond said hoarsely, “All of you can leave now.”
Since Sixten had already completed his task, there was no point in staying behind, so he chose to leave.novelbin
At the same time, he was also worried about Donald going berserk and smashing his head into a cakejust like what Donald had done to him previously.
Before leaving, Sixten announced, “Everyone, come with me to Noah International Hotel. I havesomething to tell you.”
Upon hearing that, the rest of the Campbell family left one after another.
Raymond asked, “Donald, it must be difficult to tolerate that.”
However, his question was greeted by Donald’s silence.
Raymond sighed before continuing, “It’s been hard on you.”
“It was actually Gideon who told Tyrone about the fortune-telling session between you and Tyrone,”Donald uttered.
“I know.” Raymond smiled bitterly.
“And it was Michael who told Gideon about that,” Donald added. “Yes, that’s right. You don’t have to lookat me that way. It was your good son, Michael who did that.” There was a cold, terrifying glint in his eyes.
Raymond looked as though he had lost all the energy within him and fell to the chair. After a while, onlydid he ask, “Why did Michael do that?”
“He was unhappy that you raised my dad as your successor, so he recorded the entire fortune-tellingsession where you predicted Tyrone’s future. Then, he passed the recording to Gideon, who in turnpassed it to Tyrone.” Donald smiled coldly.
“Please leave me now. I need some alone time.” Raymond closed his eyes to take a rest, but Donaldknew very well that he was in great pain at the moment.
Hence, Donald did not force him any further and left him alone.
“Make some arrangements to pull the grandfather clock away,” Donald instructed.
Reina immediately called a tractor and a truck. After covering the clock with a black cloth, it was shippedto the suburbs.
At Noah International Hotel, Rupert and Sixten met each other affably. They had booked the entire halland started the meeting there.
In the hall, Sixten regained his arrogance and indifference as he swept his gaze across Gideon and therest. “Just because Tyrone accepted you guys doesn’t mean that you are a part of the Campbell clan.”
Everyone froze, not understanding what he was implying.
“Mr. Tyrone has made it clear that you have to accomplish certain achievements to be a part of the clan.Even though the Campbell clan has a great business empire, we will not tolerate a bunch of good-for-nothings,” Sixten continued with a sneer.
Needless to say, the expression on the face of Gideon and the rest did not look good.
But we have already struck a deal Why is there a sudden change?
“We all know that there is going to be a land reclamation project in Pollerton soon. In a few days, theofficial approval will be issued. According to Mr. Tyrone, he wants you to get one or two of thesubprojects. It could be related to earthworks, steel frames, transportation, concrete, and even themanagement of the land after the land reclamation. The profit this year must reach one billion!” Sixtenadded.
