Chapter 191 The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend
Just when Merlin was hesitating whether to say hello or not, Bishop in a wheelchair smiled first as if he hadn't heard him talking on the phone at all, "Merlin, what a coincidence."
Merlin was not in the mood.He forced a smile perfunctorily and turned around to go back to the box.
Seeing that Merlin was about to open the box door, Bishop suddenly stopped him, "Merlin, why don't we have a drink together?"
Merlin paused and a subtle smile appeared on his face.
He said coldly, "I have nothing to say to a spineless man."
When something like that happened to the Adams family back then, if he were Bishop, he would have wanted to kill August immediately.
But Bishop acted as if nothing had happened...
Hearing the implied meaning of Merlin's words, Bishop suppressed the coldness in his eyes and said, "Don't you want to suppress the news? I can help you."
As soon as Bishop said that, it was more effective than the previous sentence.
Merlin stopped, turned around, and stared at him with deep eyes, "Will you help me?"
He was a little uneasy when he heard Wade's hesitant tone on the phone just now.
But now Bishop offered to help him, which surprised him.
"Just you?"
Bishop was just an illegitimate child of the Adams family.
Even if his mother married into the family, he was still an unwelcome illegitimate child with disabled legs.
How could he help him? Bishop nodded without hesitation and his face was as gentle as ever.
He said softly, "We are friends anyway.When something like this happens, I think I should help as much as I can."
There was a dim light in Merlin's eyes, but he turned around and walked towards him.
After he followed Bishop into a box, he sat down and went straight to the point, "If you can help me settle it, I will try my best to meet your request."
Bishop smiled and motioned to Bob beside him to pour a drink for Merlin, "No need.Friends should help each other."
As soon as he drank, Merlin began talking endlessly, and he somehow talked about August.
After scolding August, he said, "This time I'm so unlucky, but I know who did it when the news was exposed."
Bishop's eyes were dark and unclear, and asked with a smile, "Who is it?"
Merlin snorted coldly, "Who else could it be except your brother?"
As soon as he said these words, the box fell silent for a few seconds.
Then Bishop turned around to look at Bob.
He did not shy away from Merlin, and directly instructed, "Bob, find a way to suppress public opinion."
When Bob heard this, he nodded immediately, turned around, and left the box.
As soon as Bob left, there were only the two of them left in the box.
Merlin was a little surprised.
He looked at Bishop and asked, "Do you have a way to handle it?"
Bishop smiled and said softly, "Merlin, if I help you deal with it, can you promise me to forget about it and don't bother my brother anymore?"
When Merlin heard it, he put the glass on the table angrily, and lectured, "Bishop, don't you have any guts? How did he treat you? You're even helping him behind his back!"
A trace of grief crossed Bishop's face, and he said with a wry smile, "Anyway, he is my brother after all.As for what happened in the past...well, forget it."
The more he said that the angrier Merlin got, "I advise you to wake up! Do you think he'll appreciate you for doing this? Impossible!"
"And your legs.."As soon as he was excited, he said everything.
After blurting it out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately stopped.
He picked up the glass and drank the wine in it in one gulp, "Do you know why I stopped hanging out with you back then? I thought you were too spineless!"
A trace of coldness flashed across Bishop's eyes, and he said softly, "Even if he doesn't regard me as his brother, I still consider him as my brother.And you will always be my good friend in my heart."
As soon as Bishop said these words, a bit of complexity appeared on Merlin's face.
He moved his lips.
Finally, he grabbed the glass next to him and poured wine, "With your words, we are still friends!" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
An hour later, Merlin left the box contentedly.
Bob closed the door, walked to Bishop's side, and couldn't help asking, "Bishop, I don't understand.Why are you helping him?"
Bishop raised his hand to smooth the blanket on his leg, and said coldly, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend.If I help him now, it will be of great use in the future."
A single-minded and reckless man like Merlin could easily be brought off with a little favor.
Likewise, he was also vindictive.
With a little encouragement, he could be instigated to fight desperately.
Such a tool could not be better for him.
"Mr.Adams, I don't know what happened, but all the news on the Internet has been taken down."
Immediately after the meeting ended, Burton stepped forward and whispered in August's ear.
August frowned, and his handsome face turned cold.It stood to reason that the news should not have been taken down so quickly.
He still had some understanding of Kelly Group's public relations methods.
In such a short period, the explosive news that had kept fermenting couldn't have been suppressed unless there was someone more powerful behind Merlin.
Back in the office, he unbuttoned his suit with one hand and sat down at the desk.
He raised his hand, pressed his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice, "It's okay.That's it."
Although the news had been taken down, the people who should know it had already known about the news.
In this way, no company would dare to cooperate with the Kelly Group in the short term.
His purpose was achieved anyway.
Burton nodded.
He suddenly remembered something, and said, "Mr.Adams, regarding this Boehm offline event, it's been a success.What is the set bonus amount?"
Originally, for such an event, the bonus was symbolic.
But this time, August knew that Lucia was short of money, so he had specially asked her to participate in the planning.He also said that the bonus was generous.
Now that the event was over, it was time to determine the specific amount of the bonus.
Thinking of Mr.Mitchell who was still in the hospital, August frowned and said lightly, "Tell her to come over."
Burton nodded and did it right away.
Ten minutes later, Lucia rushed from the Administration Department to the President's Office, feeling a little uneasy.
Every time she was called to the office by August, she was terrified.
In addition to what had happened in the office before, she was even more terrified to see him alone now.
Walking to the office door, Lucia took a deep breath, knocked on the door, pushed it open, and walked in.
When she looked up, she saw that August was standing in front of the large French window with his back on her.
He was tall and strong, with an extraordinary temperament.
Just watching his back, she couldn't help feeling tempted.
Lucia couldn't help sighing in her heart.
He was handsome from every angle.He was even more attractive than ordinary people with his back on her.
It was outrageous.
Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and Lucia withdrew her gaze.
August looked at Lucia, glanced over her gauze-wrapped hand, and said softly, "This time Boehm’s activity was done well.Here's your bonus."
Lucia followed his gaze and saw the envelope on the corner of the desk, feeling a little strange.
Whenever the company distributed any project bonus, it would be distributed along with the next month's salary.
How could it be paid by the president of the company instead of the finance department? After a pause, Lucia clenched her fists a little, lowered her eyes, and said, "I'm not taking it."
