Chapter 364 Catalyst
"Joseph, I have a reminder for you.” A deep voice was heard. "It's already the second day. I will let you have one more day which is tomorrow. If I don't see the result by the day after tomorrow, you won't receive the batch of medication."
"Noted,” answered Joseph Shaw.
"I can tell you that Julian Shaw has not taken any action yet! It's best for you to come up with a way to force him to do something! Otherwise, you'll know what are the consequences of a failed mission," said the person.
Joseph could only continue to take down the task.
He hung up the call and his expression turned cold at once.
He loathed the person behind the curtain so much!
Had it not been that person, he would never have returned to Canada in the past.
One would know that he was not skilled in business just by thinking. Was he not seeking trouble to return t o Canada and compete with Julian's Lanyard Corporation?
However, there was nothing he could do either. He had no choice but to do this.
The person behind the curtain possessed extraordinary power of getting what he wanted.
In order to gain the person's trust, he truly left no stones unturned. Joseph appeared to be going against Lanyard Construction in a flagrant way, but in secret, h e left loopholes for Julian’s counterattack. 1
Even though Julian was unaware of Joseph's goal, he managed to seize the loophole every time and returned the attack with perfection.
One of them had the intention while the other did it without realizing. However, both of them achieved satisfactory results in the end.
The result was that he returned to the States.
Moreover, he made it appear as if he was driven out of the country after he exhausted all means.
In order to make his acting look real, he almost turned himself into a clown. In fact, he had even licked the cow dung. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Joseph thought that the person would have been rendered speechless at last now that he lost despite having already done his best. Yet, he did not expect that the person would still continue to coerce him after all.
That person had already laid down a huge trap.
Joseph was already trapped while Serenity Wright still knew nothing about it. But, there was nothing she could do to escape either. Julian and the Wrights were the prey.
The feeling of hatred was surging in Joseph’s heart.
"Boss." Someone suddenly rushed over to report to him. "A fellow member from the States called and informed me that Charlotte watched the news and found out you abducted Susan. She was clamoring about coming over now."
"Charlotte?" Joseph frowned and felt disgusted in his heart.
"Yes, sir. Shall I reject her?" asked the person.
Joseph’s eyes glimmered for a moment and yet he said, "Bring her here."
Joseph pondered for a while more, then he asked meaningfully, "How about Luke? Why isn't he reacting to this situation?"
"It seems that Charlotte watched the news and tried to figure out a way to hide it from him on purpose.”
"The woman is only capable of scheming. However, it’s good that Luke doesn’t know. It’s more convenient that way." Joseph said coldly, "Don't mind about Luke and take Charlotte here."
"Alright." The person immediately dispatched Joseph’s order.
Joseph looked out the window and muttered to himself, "It's too slow, the progress is too slow. It's good to add in some kind of catalyst.”
She could finally head to Joseph's legendary secret base and most importantly, she could finally meet the b*tch Susan!
Charlotte's entire body was shivering in excitement o n the boat while heading to the small town.
In the past, it was Susan who looked down upon her, yet now, Susan was captured by Joseph which was equal to being in her hands.
'Hah-hah-hah, what goes around comes around. Let's see how I'll torment Susan next.'
The residents of the small town were beyond enthusiastic to Charlotte's arrival upon hearing that she was Joseph’s wife.
Charlotte suddenly felt like she was reigning over an empire as she was immersed in the embrace of these residents.
She would have pestered Joseph to take her here as soon as possible if she had known that this was a fun place.
However, it was not too late for her to be here now either.
Charlotte laughed arrogantly. If not for Susan, she wanted to enjoy the feeling of allegiance even more, but she was in a rush to see the little b*tch Susan's expression now.
Charlotte urged the driver to send her to the villa faster.
Along the way, Charlotte had already played out the scene of Susan possibly being embarrassed in her mind and she could not help smiling upon thinking about that.
"Madam." The servant opened the door respectfully.
Charlotte nodded arrogantly and walked into the room.
Then, her pupils constricted abruptly.
What the heck was going on!
She was under the assumption that Susan and that nobody Serenity would be in a tragic state.
As a result, these two people were reading while they stayed in the villa in a manner that appeared very leisurely?
"What’s going on with all of you? These two people are hostages. Do you know what hostages mean? Why do you allow them to be carefree and leisurely?" Charlotte roared at once.
Susan raised her head to see Charlotte. She could not help furrowing her brows ever so slightly.
Susan considered Charlotte to be her arch enemy.
Even though she had no idea behind the purpose of Charlotte’s presence, it was surely not because of something good.
Charlotte pranced toward Susan in her high heels with loud clicking noises. "Susan, you've finally gotten yourself in my hands, huh! Heh-heh, I’ll be doing twice as much of what you did to me in the past."
Charlotte had a somber expression as she raised her hand and was about to deliver to a slap to Susan.
In her point of view, she was in her territory now. She could do whatever she wanted to Susan, right?
However, before she could react to the situation, she felt her knee hurting.
Serenity kicked Charlotte once right away. Charlotte was caught off guard so she knelt onto the ground with a loud thump.
Susan could not help sniggering. "Charlotte, there's no need for you to greet me with a curtsy like this, right?" 1
"Susan Shelby!" Charlotte's expression turned savage instantaneously.
This was her territory. How dare Susan be so rampant!
Susan was a hostage after all - Susan was still her hostage.
Charlotte stood up and said with a somber expression, "Someone, come and tie up these two women for me."
Due to Joseph's instruction earlier, these people abided Charlotte's order and charged toward these two people.
Susan and Serenity's expressions changed ever so slightly.
There was no lack of skillful people amongst them. Moreover, there were more of these people than them. I t did not take long before both of them were tied up.
Charlotte was proud of herself. She said in a cold voice, "Put these two people away. Oh right, is there an underground dungeon or something like that over here? All in all, put these people where it is most uncomfortable!”
"Madam, there’s a cellar beneath this place," said someone.
Charlotte waved her hand once. "Sure, put them in the cellar."
All sorts of security camera footage could be seen blinking on a gigantic screen.
Joseph stood in front of it and watched the scene.
"Boss, are you going to allow Charlotte to mess around like this?" Rahm's gaze appeared rather anxious.
"Why are you so anxious?" Joseph took a glance at Rainn.
"I-I-I'm afraid that it will ruin your plan, boss," said Rainn, who appeared unusually guilty.
Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Rainn, you seem to care about these two people all the time. I wonder if you're concerned about Susan or Serenity?"
"What are you talking about, boss?! Susan is Julian’s woman. If news about this matter were to spread, Julian may not be able to deal with you. But it's only a trivial matter to deal with me." Rainn
panicked.
"Oh, Serenity it is then," said Joseph.
Rainn was immediately rendered speechless.
Joseph looked at Serenity in the footage and cracked into an ice cold smile. The woman was a witch just as expected. She relied on her exquisite face to entice so many people. What a waste that he was not one of those many people.
