Claire hurriedly turned around and said to Joe, “Hey, go out first, let me explain this to Mr. Murray.”
“Forget about him, let’s go!” Joe extended his hand and tried to take Claire’s hand.
Instead, she frowned in dismay and pushed him away, saying in annoyance, “Mr. Murray is the boss of Millenium Enterprise! He is very influential in the construction industry in Aurous Hill. He knows people, legal, and even the underworld! Never mind that I can’t get his investment, but there are some things that you can’t solve with just your strength.”
“It’s just a small company, I don’t give a damn.”
“A small company?!”
Claire rolled her eyes, exasperated.
In the civil engineering industry of Aurous Hill, Millennium Enterprise was ranked in the top five. Its scale was much bigger than the Wilson Group.
Afraid that Joe might offend Mr. Murray further, her face was icy as she said, “Joe, leave this to me. Go out and wait for me outside!”
Joe opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he shut his mouth and walked out of the restaurant when he looked at Claire’s enraged face.
How dare the boss of a small company be so brazen in front of him? He had decided to go all out with his luck, hadn’t he?
Claire even had to tiptoe around that bastard! Didn’t she know that her husband was the most powerful of them all?
Right at this moment, he wanted to reveal his true identity to Claire so desperately. He wanted her to know that she didn’t have to worry about their future and that she didn’t need to be bullied and tormented by a lowly boss of a mediocre company.
However, he held back the words that came to his lips.
Exposing his identity would mean that he had officially accepted the Smith family and would return to their embrace.
No, he didn’t want to go back.
Standing outside the restaurant, Joe looked up toward the second floor, and then retrieved his phone and called Stephen, the Smith family’s butler.
“Check the background and details of the Millenium Enterprise, and also their clients and their recent projects.”
Stephen’s courteous voice resonated from the other end of the line. “Young Master, Millennium Enterprise’s major clients are mostly small businesses under the Smith family. They handled some of the real estate projects from the Emgrand Group this year.”
“Really?” Joe snorted. It turned out that Peter Murray was nothing but a nobody who ate the scraps off his butt.
Joe wanted to laugh out loud.
He wondered if Peter knew that he was his ‘daddy’ who basically supported the foundation of his company. How would he feel after insulting him like that?
With this thought lingering in his mind, he said to Stephen, “I want to teach Millenium Enterprise a lesson.”
“How may I help you, Young Master?”
“Hmm. Withdraw all collaborations with the company. I’m sick of it.”
“Oh, did the company piss you off in some way? Do you want me to deal with its boss directly? I can make him disappear into thin air right away!”
Joe chuckled. “Oh, please. We are a civilized society. There are so many ways other than killing and fighting. How can he feel the pain if you kill him, anyway? No, I want him to go bankrupt and lead a miserable life for the rest of his life.”
“Okay, Young Master. Please give me a few minutes, I’ll get it done.”
For Stephen, making Millenium Enterprise go bankrupt was as simple as squeezing an ant.
Joe ended the call and looked upstairs again. Claire was still apologizing to Peter while Peter leaned back against the chair like a cocky dog, mumbling something. He was probably cursing him right now.
He sat on the side of the road and waited lazily for his wife to come out.
Joe, dressed in a normal T-shirt and jeans, looked like an ordinary passerby that no one would bat an eye at. However, an ordinary guy like him could transform the renowned boss in Aurous Hill into a pauper with just one simple phone call.
Claire’s continual bowing and apologizing to Peter slightly smoothed his grimace.
Then, both Claire and Peter exited the restaurant, Peter’s face still flushed and aching from the scalding.
He glared at Joe who was sitting by the road and said to Claire, “Claire, I’ll forgive that loser husband of yours for your sake today. I would like to invite you to dinner tomorrow night and we’ll discuss the collaboration matter again.”
His indifferent and casual look was simply to impress Claire, but deep inside him, he was burning in rage.
If it wasn’t for Claire apologizing on Joe’s behalf, he would have called for someone to come and beat the crap out of Joe!
However, he didn’t intend to let Joe off the hook so easily. When he finally got a taste of the beautiful Claire tomorrow, he would get someone to destroy him!
Joe walked over and said to Claire, “Darling, let’s go home. There’s nothing to talk about with this bastard who is about to go bankrupt, let alone collaboration.”
Peter’s expression shifted into a furious grimace, and he said, “Asshole, you do want to die today, don’t you? Did you just say that I’m about to go bankrupt? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right away! You are still standing in one piece now entirely because of Claire!”
Joe curled his lips into a smirk and flung his hand across Peter’s face.
Slap!
Peter was stunned as he covered his cheek with his hand. After a short while, he yelled at Joe.
“You piece of thrash! How dare you hit me!”
Joe sneered before he said, “Why? Why wouldn’t I dare hit you? If I want to hit you, you’ll just have to deal with it.”
After that, Joe raised his hand and slapped Peter again. At this time, Peter’s cheek was already swollen.
Even though Claire was also very disgusted with Peter, Joe had already slapped him twice. Therefore, she was a little worried and she hurriedly said, “Joe, what are you doing? Didn’t I tell you not to recklessly start a fight with anyone?”
She was not worried about herself but she was worried that Peter would exact revenge on Joe. After all, Peter was still the boss of a reputable company. How could he possibly keep calm after getting hit by Joe?
True enough, Peter was completely annoyed and irritated at this time. He pointed his finger at Claire before he said, “You, the one with the last name Wilson! If you do not compensate and appease me after what your husband has done today, I’ll kill him! I’ll make sure that he disappears from Aurous Hill immediately!”
As soon as Claire heard the word ‘compensate’, she started to lose her temper immediately. “You’re so shameless!”
“Shameless?” Peter snorted coldly. “Don’t you think I don’t know that the Wilson family has already kicked you out of the family a long time ago! Do you really think that you’re still the young lady of the Wilson family? Let me tell you something, I am Peter Murray and I have a very established reputation in Aurous Hill. If you do not want me to destroy your entire family, then you’d better crawl into my bed and try to satisfy me tonight. If I’m satisfied with your performance, I could still force myself to forgive you!”
Claire was trembling with anger and she replied in a sharp manner, “Peter! You’re really a shameless bastard!”
“I have all the power and wealth in the world. So, what’s wrong with me being shameless?” Peter asked.
At this time, Joe stood up before he said, “You with the last name Murray, listen up! You’re already bankrupt so don’t tell me about how powerful or wealthy you are.”
“What did you just say?”
Peter was taken aback and he did not know how to retaliate at all.
He was about to yell at Joe when his cell phone started ringing again.
