Chapter 1086 Dallin's Countermove
Brandon could foresee a future for his family, Trison Corporation, and himself. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
He wasn't afraid of death. He knew that the chances of finding a suitable kidney were so rare that he would eventually die from the disease.
He guessed he wouldn't live for two years, but he worried about how his wife and Clarice would live after his death.
Now he could fight against Julien and Sydney, but he feared that his wife and daughter wouldn't be able to protect themselves after his death.
Brandon always felt indebted to his wife and that he owed his daughter more.
Twenty years ago, when his wife was pregnant, he swore that he would protect their child, whether it was a boy or a girl.
However, after his daughter was born, the baby was stolen by Harry and thrown into the river.
Brandon didn't know how Clarice survived, but he couldn't forgive himself for failing to protect his daughter, and he could never forgive Harry.
Luckily, his daughter came home to him years ago. He tried to make it up to Clarice, but Clarice was involved in the feud between the Raines family and the Madden family and had been living in turmoil.
Therefore, Brandon felt indebted to Clarice.
He hammered his chest in remorse.
Then suddenly, his eyes sparked with a cunning look.
He was determined that he would have everything arranged for his wife and his daughter before he died, no matter what the Madden family ended up with.
He wouldn't let his wife and daughter fall into the hands of Sydney and Julien.
He would bear the grudge of the Raines family and the Madden family alone.
Dallin, whom Julien had his men dealt with, was also in trouble.
Dallin liked to watch films. He usually stayed at the hotel. His only entertainment was watching past movies in the AV room.
While he was watching a movie, Neil hurried in and called out, "Sir!"
Dallin opened his eyes and showed a grim face.
He turned his head to look at Neil with angry eyes. "I told you not to disturb me when I'm watching a movie. This is the second time you've barged on me while I'm watching a movie."
Sensing that Dallin was angry, Neil hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir, but something urgent has happened. I must report to you immediately!"
"What happened?" Dallin asked nonchalantly as he took his cane.
He wasn’t concerned about what Neil said.
Neil got even more anxious when he saw Dallin was not concerned. He rushed to report, "Boss, someone intercepted our shipment at the customs in Jackal City."
Immediately, Dallin's hand, which had been wiping his cane, shuddered. He put down his cane, turned to Neil, and questioned with a grimace, "What did you say? Our shipment was intercepted?"
"Yes." Neil nodded. "Half an hour ago, I got a call from our man stationed at Jackal City Customs. Our men said a gang rushed over and intercepted our shipment."
"Half an hour ago..." The mild expression on Dallin's face was gone. His face was contorted with anger.
Actually, this was his true color.
"Who did that?" Dallin grasped the tap on his cane fiercely and asked in a grim voice, "I'm going to throw that guy into the ocean. Who dares to rob my shipment?
He's going to die!"
Neil shook his head. "We haven’t found out who took our cargo. According to reports from our people, the group of men arrived with the cargo clearance documents before our men got to customs and they took the cargo away. They didn't steal or rob our goods. They had the cargo clearance documents, so I guess they have a background."
"I believe so." Dallin hissed, "They couldn't have gotten the official cargo clearance documents if they were ordinary people. Customs knew that the shipment was mine, but Customs issued them the cargo clearance documents, which suggests that the man has a strong background and that he has connections with Customs."
"Who could it be? I don't remember we have offended any powerful people." Neil frowned.
Dallin's people were usually wild, but they weren't stupid. They wouldn't mess with powerful people, so Neil wondered why someone this powerful would want to deal with them.
"We've offended one of them. You forgot Julien, "Dallin sneered with narrowed eyes.
Neil's mouth snapped open. "Sir, it was my fault. I was too careless. I forgot about Julien."
"It wasn't your fault. I didn't expect Julien would do such a thing either." Dallin grimaced. "This is unbelievable! It's always been me, Dallin, who takes other people’s goods. No one dares to intercept my goods. This is the first time my goods have been intercepted, but I can't get them back. And I can't do anything to Julien. It's really annoying! I never expected anything like this..." Dallin muttered, but he didn't show any self-deprecation.
He was just teasing to himself.
"Sir, if it really is Julien, what..." Neil looked at Dallin, whose eyes were bloodshot at that moment, and asked cautiously.
Dallin waved his hand. "Forget about it. We can't get this shipment back. Julien can easily take anything he wants off our hands. It's impossible for us to get the shipment back. We're not as powerful as he is. We can't go to him and get our shipment back."
"That shipment was important. We spent a lot of money ordering it from an overseas supplier. We've been preparing the shipment since before this year. Finally, the shipment arrived, but it was intercepted. How should we explain to the factory?" Neil looked worried.
Dallin glanced at him and responded, "There's no use talking about it now. The shipment was taken by Julien’s people. We can only compensate the factory as Skylight Corporation did. We have more money than Skylight Corporation. We can afford the compensation."
Now that Dallin had a solution, Neil was not so worried.
He pushed his glasses upwards, looked at Dallin, and asked, "Sir, do you think Julien is doing this to get back at us for intercepting Sydney's cargo last time? His men intercepted our shipment just in the same way as when we intercepted Sydney's cargo."
Dallin rubbed the tap on his cane and shook his head slightly. "No, last time we ended up in the hospital and that was Julien's revenge. He wouldn't retaliate against us twice for the same thing. That wasn't the reason, but it was also because of Sydney. Don't forget the rumors about Sydney."
Neil was enlightened. "Julien found out we were involved in that rumor?"
Dallin responded, "I can't think of anything else but that, but it's good. Now that I know how much Julien values Sydney. I'm not going to keep quiet even though I can't get the goods back. Call Julien's assistant and ask him to pass a message to Julien: Does he want his mother's belongings? I'll give him a day. If I don't hear from him in a day, I'll dispose of it." With that, Dallin gave a sinister smile.
