Chapter 1399 - 1393: All Old Foxes
"Trouble? What trouble? Don’t worry, take your time to explain." Violet Zimmerman sat down on the sofa too. Perhaps having navigated the business world for too long, she’s used to wearing the mask of hypocrisy. Clearly aware that Nathan Moore has set obstacles for the Quinn Family’s company, yet she pretends not to know."Aunt, you have to help me." Vanessa Quinn clutched Violet’s hand and pleaded, "I don’t even know how our family offended the Moore Corporation’s president. He suddenly withdrew the funds and even instigated other companies not to work with us.
Aunt, I know Director Moore and Evander have a good relationship, he will definitely listen to you. Please put in a word for me, Aunt, I’m begging you, Dad is so worried he’s gotten sick..."
"I see, then I’ll give Nathan a call." Violet Zimmerman spoke ambiguously, reaching out for her phone, while Joseph Lancaster coughed a couple of times, concealing his mouth from his seat on the single sofa.
Violet understood Joseph’s meaning, quietly picked up her phone, sliding it open while asking, "Joseph, what’s Nathan’s number again?"
"Sister-in-law, I’m not entirely sure, why don’t you ask Evander instead? After all, they have a good relationship." Joseph spoke earnestly, then leaned over to pick up his teacup.
Vanessa watched him subtly, a fleeting glint in her eyes, quickly disappearing, then returned to looking eagerly at Violet.
"I’m not asking him, that brat, he’s angry at me right now!" Violet muttered discontentedly to herself, but the remark was intended for Vanessa’s ears.
If Dominic Quinn is an old fox, then Vanessa is a little fox, having heard from her father that Joseph Lancaster was unwilling to help, she already guessed that Violet wished to call off the engagement.
Given that most of the announcement regarding the two families’ alliance was due to impulse, she was present the day when the mother and son had a fallout.
She knew well of Evander Lancaster’s firm stance, yet one by one...
Since it’s the Lancaster Family that first caused trouble, it seems unreasonable not to seek some benefits for her own company.
Listening to Violet’s veiled words, Vanessa chuckled quietly to herself but maintained an urgent expression on the surface, still gazing intently at Violet.
Violet, murmuring to herself, continued searching for the number, finally saying with relief, "Found it at last."
Understanding that Nathan and her son were as close as brothers, Violet deliberately turned on the speaker when calling Nathan Moore.
The call connected, and within seconds Nathan answered. Despite the unpleasantness at the hospital, since she was his brother’s mother, Nathan politely greeted her.
"Aunt, did you need something?"
"Nathan, here’s the situation." Violet placed the phone in front, speaking directly into the microphone, "Vanessa is here with me now, I’ve heard you withdrew from the collaboration with the Quinn Family. Aunt wants to ask, did something go wrong or..."
"Nothing at all, just don’t want to cooperate." Nathan interrupted Violet’s words, speaking nonchalantly.
He wasn’t foolish, Violet saying Vanessa was by her side already indicated something to him.
"Don’t want to cooperate?" Violet feigned confusion and repeated, then asked, "Why? Haven’t you already invested partially? Unilaterally breaking the contract like this doesn’t benefit you either."
"Aunt, don’t you understand?" Nathan asked back, his tone carrying a clear sense of mockery, "Compared to the happiness of my good brother, what do those millions even count for?"
