Chapter 334 We're A Family
It was fortunate that Luke Jenkins was very good at being sensible.
He said without the slightest hesitation, "Alright, I promise."
Luke's easy-going nature made a satisfied expression appear on Joseph Shaw's face.
He knocked on Luke's head with the gun gently and said calmly, "You have one day. I'm leaving Canada tomorrow night at the latest. By then, I want to see your money."
He speculated that people from Canada would immediately come searching for him. However, he had a relationship with the higher-ups, so he believed that he should be able to hold off until tomorrow night. Unfortunately, tomorrow night was as far as he could go.
"Alright." Luke clenched his teeth. "I promised you, so can you untie me and Charlotte now?"
"Yes, of course." Joseph smiled and shot a look at the burly men.
The burly men stepped forward and loosened the ropes on those two.
A wisp of fear flashed past Charlotte Jenkins’ eyes for a moment as she looked at the pitch-black gun nozzles aiming at her from all directions. She bit her lower lip but could not muster the courage to speak anymore.
"Follow my brother-in-law around the clock and ensure his safety, alright?" Joseph ordered his men coldly.
"Yes, sir." A few men in black would follow Luke closely day and night.
All Luke could do was pick up his phone now that the backdoor had been erased and contact the person in charge of corporation acquisition.
"As for you, my sweet wife, come here." Joseph waved his hand at Charlotte as if he was summoning a puppy.
Charlotte cowered and took a step back subconsciously.
"Go." The burly men in black shoved her back with their guns.
Charlotte could only brace herself and walk over.
Joseph burst out laughing and pulled her into his arms. Then, he kissed and bit at her lips recklessly. 1
He had been treating Charlotte with the utmost courtesy in order to gain the Jenkins' support.
However, this woman had been arrogant around him right from the start. She would smile at him when she was in a good mood and pull a long face when she was in a bad mood.
Heh heh... Who did she think she was?
It was great that the Jenkins were of no use to him anymore and he did not need to restrain himself now.
Joseph let out a savage laugh, lifted Charlotte, and went upstairs.
Soon, he vented all his pent-up anger on Charlotte's body.
Charlotte had never seen Joseph being so terrifying before. She could not help struggling and crying out loud with all her might. However, her effort was futile.
Joseph, who had already revealed his hostility, would not show any pity or sympathy to her just because she was in agony.
After this one-sided harassment ended, Joseph looked at Charlotte coldly. "You are still my woman at the very least. I won't do anything bad to you and your brother if both of you are obedient."
"Yes, sir," answered Charlotte in fear.
Joseph laughed in a taunting manner and went to stand by the window, staring into the vast night coldly.
This situation kept brewing at night, and a storm would certainly come sweeping over by the next day.
Julian Shaw was already in an undefeatable position this time. The only way out for Joseph now was to leave Canada and return to America.
It was the second time this happened!
He was driven out of Ningcheng City for the second time.
Joseph could not help clenching his fists tightly in rage. He felt really recalcitrant.
'Julian, I've lost to you this time. However, this is not over yet, so you should not be too proud too early.'
In the vast night, the public's rage brewed. By the next day, this rage erupted like a mass.
The first one to come under fire was Jenkins Corporation.
By framing Julian and Lanyard Construction, Luke had caused the great fall of his reputation. As a result, Jenkins Corporation was implicated tremendously and even its stock value started dropping immensely.
The raging public had also surrounded the stores owned by Jenkins Corporation. All the stores owned b y Jenkins Corporation were rendered incapable of opening for business. The corporation’s building was also surrounded by the public, while the employees of Jenkins Corporation were too fearful to turn up for work.
Joseph's newly-built company suffered the same ending.
Countless people headed to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and petitioned for those three people to be captured.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service could only reply that they had not acquired enough evidence to arrest them. 1
The public was furious, but there was nothing the Canadian Security Intelligence Service could do. They wanted to arrest them, yet their superiors refused to give them an arrest warrant.
Even though they had not been arrested yet, Joseph and the other two were not having a good time either.
Someone leaked the Jenkins' house address.
Hundreds and thousands of people surged to the address and surrounded the doorway. They cursed and tossed all sorts of rotten objects at the house.
The Jenkins' originally beautiful garden was already a mess.
Joseph and the others did not have the courage to leave the house at all. They could only watch the situation outside from the living room.
"What a group of lowly peasants!" Joseph had a ferocious expression on his face.
Charlotte, who was afraid of Joseph, had remained cowering at the corner of the sofa fearfully all day while Luke kept making all sorts of calls.
Jenkins Corporation would end up dying if he held on to it. If someone else were to acquire the company, there was still some possibility that the company would rise again.
A huge enterprise like Jenkins Corporation was estimated to be worth no less than 30 billion under ordinary circumstances. However, everyone was demanding a lower price due to the current situation.
Luke had already lowered the price to 10 billion, yet a buyer was still asking for a lower price.
There was nothing else Luke could do. In the end, he settled at 5 billion and sold the entire Jenkins Corporation.
5 billion...
He sold the entire Jenkins Corporation for 5 billion.
Luke's heart was bleeding, yet he had no other choice a t the moment.
After making an appointment to sign the contract, Luke walked out of the door under the protection of a few burly men. Countless rotten vegetables and eggs were still tossed at him as soon as he exited the door. Some people even charged over in an attempt to beat him up.
Luke flung off the crowd with great effort after braving his way through the rotten vegetables and signed the contract with the buyer. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Alright. It’s been a pleasure working with you." The buyer put away the agreement with satisfaction." From now on, Jenkins Corporation and Lanyard Construction will be a family."
Luke had already been feeling heartache but was driven close to madness when he heard him mention
Lanyard Construction. "What did you say? Lanyard Construction?"
Had the buyer not told Luke that he was an oil tycoon?
The buyer chuckled and said, "This acquisition was specially instructed by our chairman, Mr. Shaw. Don't worry, there are many overlapping areas of Lanyard Construction's and Jenkins Corporation's business. W e will certainly manage Jenkins Corporation well."
'We will certainly manage Jenkins Corporation well...'
"Julian Shaw!" Luke called out in rage before he fainted from extreme agitation.
In the end, Joseph’s men carried him back home.
Joseph took Luke and Charlotte and left Canada secretly upon acquiring the money. 1
"Just wait, Julian. I'll be back." Joseph clenched his teeth in rage, yet his heart was bleeding.
He had spent a large sum of money to get into Canada's market this time. As a result, although his money had been invested for the past few months, he had not received anything in return.
The sum of a few billion that he had invested had been lost. Had it not been for the 5 billion he had received by selling Jenkins Corporation cheap, he would have lost everything.
Still, Joseph had the urge to vomit blood from rage as soon as he remembered that Jenkins Corporation had been acquired by Julian. 1
Charlotte turned her head to the side and ignored him.
