Chapter 909: The Corpse Has Already Gone Cold
Willow Grant’s eyelids twitched instantly as she answered, "Summer Monroe, her name is Summer Monroe."
She clenched her back teeth and said, "If it weren’t for Summer, I would’ve settled Damian Knight long ago! Dad, all you ever do is blame me for not being able to hold onto a man’s heart, but have you helped me with anything during this time? If you and Mom had come earlier to help me teach Summer a lesson, how would things have gotten to this point? Now Damian Knight is annoyed the moment he sees me."
Mr. Grant rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and said, "Since it’s all because of that Summer girl, then just make her disappear."
Willow’s eyes lit up. "You’re going to get rid of her directly?"
"Of course. Eyesores just need to be removed. Damian Knight isn’t in Crestfall right now, so we’ll use this chance to make her disappear for good."
Mr. Grant took two hard drags of his cigarette, then flicked away the butt and dialed a number.
"Hey, get in touch with that underground forum and find someone to take out that student girl named Summer Monroe. As long as someone takes the job, they can name any price."
After Mr. Grant finished speaking, a few seconds later, he listened to the response on the other end, and his face instantly darkened.
Willow watched the expression on her father’s face and asked in confusion, "Dad, what’s wrong?"
Mr. Grant hung up the phone and said coldly, "I heard that forum got probed by The Vanguard. The forum’s gone now."
"Then what do we do?"
Mr. Grant gave a cold snort. "Going through the forum was just to make it easier. Since the forum’s gone, we’ll just use our own people."
Hearing that, Willow asked worriedly, "Will Damian Knight trace it back to us?"
"So what if he does?" Mr. Grant said with contempt, "To a man like him, women are just playthings, nothing more than a momentary novelty. By the time he comes back, that girl’s corpse will be stone cold already. He’s not stupid enough to make trouble for us over a dead woman. As long as he’s got half a brain, he’ll know who he should pick as his future wife."
"Is it really like that?" Willow still felt a little uneasy inside.
"Of course. You don’t understand men, but your dad does." As Mr. Grant spoke, he directly made a call and started arranging things.
Willow’s initial anxiety gradually calmed down.
Yeah, even if Damian Knight doesn’t see Summer as a plaything, he still wouldn’t be stupid enough to go against the Grant Family for a dead woman.
The dead can’t come back to life, but the living still have to keep on living.
Damian Knight would know how to choose.
...
Rivain.
Damian Knight had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Susan Stone.
After listening to Susan Stone’s account, Damian Knight’s expression grew colder.
"Someone from the Grant Family did come to pick me up, but I ignored them."
Susan asked worriedly, "You brat, how can you be so stupid? You should’ve placated them first and talked about the collaboration before anything else! If this cooperation falls through, what about our group’s expansion in Rivain?"
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. It’s just a small Grant Family, don’t take them too seriously."
"But..."
"Just sit back and watch." Damian Knight said, and directly hung up the phone.
Right after he hung up, someone from the Rivain subsidiary turned around to report, "Chairman, bad news. The Lewis Corporation, our partner, said they’re going to discuss a collaboration with the Grant Family at noon, so they can only have dinner with you tonight."
As he spoke, he speculated, "The Lewis Corporation was developed under the full support of the Grant Group. I’m afraid you upset the people from The Grant Corporation back at the airport just now, so they’re giving us this slap in the face."
