Chapter 1285: Chapter 1282
“She, I watched her grow up!”
Oliver Walker smiled faintly, “In my eyes, she’s forever the little girl who never grows up.”
Actually, every time he mentioned the little girl, a warm current would always surge in his heart!
Perhaps it was because of the little girl, and the unimaginable dedication and selfless contributions she had made!
“But she is my daughter!”
Wesley Wright said with a smile, “So between you and me, there should be no irreconcilable enmity, nor should we be strangers who do not recognize each other!”
“After all, I am your elder!”
This statement…
Clearly intended to gain an advantage!
Just a second ago, Oliver Walker had said he treated the little girl as a sister, and this old fox immediately followed with the claim that she is his daughter!
Although that is a fact, still…
It was clear that he was trying to stand on the advantage of being an elder to seek greater benefits during this negotiation.
If this were in private, not in such a formal setting, perhaps Oliver Walker might have called him ‘uncle’ for the little girl’s sake.
But now that was definitely not conceivable!
Because he had discovered surveillance equipment inside the hall.
While that might be justified, he couldn’t be sure that Wright Company, facing such a crisis, wouldn’t use this footage to involve him or even the entire pyramid to extricate itself.
“In fact, I have considered you an enemy!”
Oliver Walker smirked coldly, “You will never know how lively, cheerful, and adorable the once little girl was!”
“Why did she become what she is now after returning to the company?”
“Furthermore, what right do you have to take the little girl back?”
“She was brought back by my master; my master raised her; she is also my family!”
“Since you abandoned her, what right do you have to take her away from us again?”
These accusations were completely unlike what Wesley Wright had expected.
Though the words were heart-piercing, a father with even a shred of shame would feel remorse upon hearing them.
But Wesley Wright was entirely expressionless.
Just as Oliver Walker had thought, he had intended to use the approach of fostering a close relationship to negotiate from the high ground as an elder.
Once Oliver Walker gave in, he would most certainly make this video public.
He would directly embroil the pyramid in the scandal, and even the Federal Bureau of Investigation would hold back because of its fear of the pyramid’s power.
But without the fear of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, even though the Yamaguchi-gumi might be problematic, they wouldn’t be able to do much to First Company.
If they were to fight it out, it would undoubtedly result in mutual destruction.
No one but a fool would be willing to engage in such a thankless task.
So the Yamaguchi-gumi would inevitably withdraw from the battle, and at that point, Wright Taro, without the support, would be like a rabid dog without its master’s protection. Did he think he could escape his clutches?
It must be said that every step here involved his precise calculations!
“Hahaha…”
Suddenly, Wesley Wright laughed heartily, alleviating the awkwardness, “Actually, it’s not as terrible as you say. Both your master and I were responsible for Jessica!”
“See how strong she is now?”
He endured the torment of sitting on the Extreme Cold Ice Mat while claiming credit for himself, trying by all means to stand with Oliver Walker on a united front.
“But compared to now, I prefer the little girl from before!”
Oliver Walker said proudly without any courtesy, “When master was leaving, what he worried about the most was her.”
“If it weren’t for the little girl’s sudden departure, I don’t think the master would have wandered the world, unwilling to see me again. The blow he received was given to him by you.”
“So you have no right to look down on me from a higher status!”
“Wright Company, now beset with troubles both within and without, does not possess such strength either!”
