"Chairman, Miss Sutton Is here to see you," their conversation was halted when a servant suddenly informed them about Gabi's arrival.
"Gabi is here?" Lyle got up, his face turned even paler. "Why would she come here?"
"Are you telling me that Gabriel Sutton is here?"
"Yes, Chairman."
Old Man Quigly immediately frowned. "Take her to the drawing-room."
"Yes, sir."
After the servant left, Lyle sat back down and asked. "Grandfather… she is here for me."
"I know." Old Man Quigly said. The method that he used to suppress the news was very obvious. Anyone would immediately notice it. Especially the one who purposely spread it. But really… what can she do about it? "Stay here and wait for me. I will go see that woman."
"I want to come with you."
"No. I am going to see her alone."
"But— "
"No, but's young lady. Stay here and wait for me."
"I— Alright."
With that, the old man slowly made his way into the drawing-room where Gabi was waiting.
"To think that a young woman like you would show her face in front of me after what you did to my granddaughter." Old Man Quigly said the moment he walked inside the drawing-room. "I don't understand if this is your being brave and bold or just… you being stupid." He examined the woman who was wearing an all-black dress. She was calmly drinking her tea while looking at him. "Which is it, young lady?"
"Mr. Quigly." Gabi ignored the old man's question. This old man knew that it was his granddaughter who wanted to hurt Gabi, but he actually made it look like Gabi was the one targeting Lyle. How shameless. "I'm glad that you are still alive."
The old man's face immediately darkened.
"If you fall… I am sure that the Quigly Family would fall too," she added.
"Hah… so it was stupidity." The old man sat across her, he didn't hide the anger in his eyes as he glared at Gabi. "I thought Old Man Ren's heir would be a little smarter than him. I am truly disappointed."
"Well… If Lyle is as smart as you, then she wouldn't have made these silly mistakes. Though… I can't really say that I am disappointed. After all, I already know that the Quigly family aren't really that… smart to begin with."
"You- Did you come here to insult my Quigly Family?"
"No sir, I came here to threaten your family."
This woman… did she came here to make her die from anger? Right now, the old man was trying to stop himself from slapping this woman's face. How dare she come inside the Quigly Family and insult them? "You… wanted to threaten my family?" Of course, this woman's bluntness really surprised him.
"Mr. Quigly… if you were to pay someone to kill me. How much would you pay them? How much do you think my head is worth?"
Old Man Quigly's face darkened. "What are you talking about?
"About an hour ago. Someone tried to kill me."
"And you think my Quigly Family did it?"
"I know that your Quigly family did it."
"Hah… if I would pay someone to kill, you wouldn't be here by now, Miss Sutton. Please get your facts straight and don't frame my family."
"Well… it seems that your granddaughter isn't as smart as you, old man."
She didn't miss the surprise in the old man's wizened face. "What are you talking about?"
"It turns out… your granddaughter put a bounty on my head. A million."
"You— Stop slandering Lyle."
"Old man… Did you really think I would come here without any evidence?"
The Old man said nothing. This Gabi was young — really young. Yet she already dared to talk to him like this. She was even bold enough to slander his family. What was her actual goal? The old man was experienced enough to know that this woman wasn't just here because of this attempted assassination.
"I want to put your granddaughter in prison," Gabi said.
"What? What did you say?"
"I said, Lyle, is going to prison or… I will ruin Quigly Enterprise."
*BAM!*
The old man slammed his hand on the wooden table in between them. He leaned forward and asked, "Are you… out of your mind?"
"Sir, if I don't leave this place in ten minutes, the news about Mr. Soren's involvement in drug trafficking is going to reach the media and police at the same time. The board will also be informed that you are buying shares… under a fake name." It is that simple.
"It's either this… or you take Lyle to the police station now. Let her surrender on her own. She would get maybe a year. After all, you are a very influential man. A year isn't long enough. After that… you can send her abroad to start a new life. Isn't that… a good deal?" Prison. It is the ultimate punishment, not just for Lyle but also for Alfons. After all, Alfons would never marry someone that could tarnish his reputation. Meaning, if Lyle would go to prison, there is no way that Alfons would marry her in the future.
This would automatically cut off the possible connection that he could have with the Quigly family. It is a win-win for Gabi.
Now, all she needed to take care of is the bounty.
"You— "
"I already told you. I am here to threaten you," she added. She was not here to joke around. Right now, her goal is to cut off all possible connections that Alfons could build with the surrounding people. This would eventually make him weaker.
Then all she could do now is slowly sabotage him from behind the scenes. She wouldn't destroy him yet. No, she is going to make him the puppet of the Sealeys first.
"If you don't believe me. You can… oh…" Her words were interrupted when Lyle suddenly barged inside the room, her face pale, beads of sweat can be seen on her forehead. "It seems that Lyle is already here. Maybe she received the email that contained my proof?" Gabi smiled at the old man.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
