Chapter 79\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Whitfield Group were to collapse later on, Vivian would be setting a trap for Kingston. Over the past few days, she had already worked out a plan to pull Hartwell Group out of its current predicament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first step in reviving Hartwell Group was to resolve the long\u2013standing conflict between the Hartwell and Howard families. When the Howard family announced it would no longer partner with the Hartwell family, it dealt Hartwell Group a noticeable blow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Kingston were to resume the partnership with Hartwell Group in the future, it would reassure those companies that were on the fence about whether to work with Hartwell Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston had purchased shares in Whitfield Group because there was profit to be made. If Whitfield Group imploded, the shares in his hands would become worthless. Vivian couldn\u2019t dig a pit for him and let him fall into it. That would be a small gain at the cost of a huge loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clenching her teeth, she called the unknown number. The call was answered almost\u00a0<\/p>\n
immediately. The other party\u2019s voice had been altered, making it impossible for her to identify\u00a0<\/p>\n
who it was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian\u2019s repeated probing irritated the person on the other end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other party stated, \u201cIf you don\u2019t believe me, just wait for tomorrow\u2019s headlines in\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baymoor. Consider it a wedding gift from me to you and Mr. Whitfield. Either way, I lose\u00a0<\/p>\n
nothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian frowned. Her fingers tightened slightly around her phone. Before the other party could end the call, she hurriedly said, \u201cHow would you lose nothing? Three million dollars isn\u2019t a\u00a0<\/p>\n
small sum. I need time to raise that much money, and I should at least discuss this with Logan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The person refuted instantly. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian was confused. \u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The\u00a0<\/p>\n
person fell silent for a moment before speaking in a lower voice. The anger from before was gone. It was replaced with a tone that sounded persuasive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Hartwell, if Logan has been doing things behind your back that harm the company, haven\u2019t you ever thought about holding all the evidence in your hands? One day, it might become the perfect weapon against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you go to him now, you\u2019ll lose the leverage you could have had. Besides, I\u2019ve heard that he\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 79\u00a0<\/p>\n
has been keeping a woman on the side. Are you truly going to stay guardless around him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian fell silent. A heavy look flashed through her eyes. She asked, \u201cWho are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
272\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were only a small number of people who knew about Logan\u2019s affair. The other party\u2019s voice was low as he said, \u201cCome tonight, and you\u2019ll know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, the person ended the call. Vivian stared at her phone screen and fell into deep thought for a long time. It was only after a while that she finally walked back toward her car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were still 12 hours left until 10:00 pm. With Vivian\u2019s means, raising three million dollars in cash wouldn\u2019t be difficult. Yet, for some reason, she felt uneasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This sudden call had disrupted her plans for the day. Taking a deep breath, she regained her composure and began preparing the cash. It took her just one morning to gather the entire\u00a0<\/p>\n
amount.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other party didn\u2019t send a single message or make another call after that. Once Vivian placed the bag of cash into her trunk, she drove aimlessly around the city, waiting for the other party to contact her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she passed by a party store, she hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car and buying a bag of fake bills. Then, she placed it in the trunk as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until 9:00 pm that her phone finally rang again. The person on the other end said, \u201d Ms. Hartwell, we\u2019re almost at our agreed time. Is the money ready?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
