Chapter 946
Gideon held his tongue, his eyes flashing a silent warning.
Alpha, however, didn’t seem perturbed. With a frosty demeanor, he said, “The fact that I’m here in person should speak volumes about my sincerity. You should know, I rarely meet with business partners face to face. My dealings are usually online. My presence today signifies my genuine interest in collaborating with you.
I just want to see Elizabeth’s ashes to confirm you actually have something on Tarquin p>
Gideon felt a surge of relief, “Yeah, I trust you p>
Alpha continued, “Since we’re laying it all out, let me be blunt. I want to see Elizabeth’s ashes. If you try to fool me with a fake, not only will our deal be off, but I’ll also be very upset. And you wouldn’t like me when I’m upset p>
Gideon quickly reassured, “Don’t worry, I’m well aware of your clout. If I didn’t have something solid on Tarquin, I wouldn’t dare propose this to you.” Alpha nodded, “If you’re not lying, then our partnership will be very fruitful. I can help you navigate through this crisis and even reclaim the Bradford Group. We can sign the contract tonight, and the funds will be transferred immediately p>
Gideon was ecstatic, “Great! I’ll keep my word. I only want the Bradford Group. As for Tarquin’s other assets, they’re all yours p>
Alpha simply nodded in acknowledgment.
Gideon then turned to his confidant, “Bring Elizabeth’s ashes here p>
The confidant nodded and left the room.
Elysia, sitting in front of the computer screen, eyes wide, exclaimed, “Gideon wants to take over your dad’s company p>
Elijah frowned, “It’s not just about taking over the company. He wants to ruin Dad, leave him with nothing p>
Elysia clenched her teeth, “Scum! Your dad is his own grandson! And he’s so old, he might not even see tomorrow’s sun. Why is he after the company p>
“He’s been power-hungry all his life. Family means nothing compared to power. As long as he’s alive, he’ll keep fighting, till the day he dies.” Elysia was baffled. How could he not be tired of living like that p>
On the computer screen, Gideon’s confidant returned, carrying a cardboard box into the living room.
Opening the box, he revealed an antique-looking dark brown wooden box.
The confidant took out the wooden box and placed it on the coffee table in front of Alpha.
Then, in front of Alpha, he opened the wooden box, revealing a white porcelain urn.
The urn was tightly sealed, its surface gleaming, indicating its high value.
Gideon said with a scowl, “This contains Elizabeth’s ashes. This urn was chosen by Tarquin himself, one of a kind in the whole world.” Elysia and her siblings tensed up, p>
On the screen, Alpha carefully picked up the white porcelain urn, examining it closely.
Gideon added irritably, “If I wasn’t worried about Tarquin not being able to recognize the ashes after changing the urn, I would have replaced it long ago! What right does that woman have to such a fine urn p>
That woman?
Elysia and the triplets clenched their teeth in unison!
Evan, though separated by the screen, couldn’t help but curse, “You disrespectful old man, you’re the disgrace p>
Realizing Elysia was next to him, he sheepishly glanced at her.
Elysia said, “Well said! Mommy told you not to curse at people, but she didn’t say anything about beasts p>
In Elysia’s eyes, Gideon was no longer human!
