Chapter 146
As the boss of the Rae Group, Hector Rae had definitely procured more experience than Skr
Hond. He would not give in just because of Skr threats.
He asked, "Skr, the Hond family and the Rae family have always been on good terms. You don''t
want to ruin that, do you?"
"This may not be a big deal for you, President Rae, but it''s crucial to me. I don''t like Valerie. If I were to
marry her, it would only bring nothing but harm to her."
"Skr, you are not a kid anymore. You are quite mature most of the time, but why do you lose your
mind now? In a family like ours, it doesn''t matter whether you like your wife or not."
In fact, Hector was right.
Skr''s father also had the same mentality.
Born into a wealthy family, it seemed as though he would live the best life with the least worry.
However, at the end of the day, he was just a bargaining chip. When his service was needed, he would
serve to bond twopanies together.
This was no different from the arranged marriage in ancient times.
"President Rae, are you saying that if I were to marry Valerie, it would be fine even if I had other
women outside or if I had children with them?"
Skr leaned back on the sofa and looked at Hector.
Although he was a lot younger than Hector, he had a clear attitude in this matter.
"Skr, I''ve already said that the Hond family and the Rae family have been on good terms all along.
If you insist on breaking our bond, I will have my ways to deal with you too."
Valerie was Hector''s only daughter, and it was impossible for him to watch his daughter being bullied.
"Then, President Rae, we could only take things one step at a time."
"Don''t be too impulsive, young man. Look, the thousands of employees of Skyton Corporation, plus the
workers in the factory, they all depend on you. If you were to fail to pay their sries even for a month,
some of them may be homeless."
Seeing that Skr was leaving, Hector threatened him with the responsibility of an employer in the end.
However, Skr was resolute in his decision.
......
That night, Skr went to a bar with Timothy Young and Harvey Felton.
He sat alone on a two-person sofa in the private room, while Timothy and Harvey were lounging on the
other sofa.
As soon as he sat down, Skr ordered a Dalmore 62 wine, an exquisite and expensive wine. Even
Timothy was shocked by the value of the wine.
"Why are you being so generous today? Is there any poison in the wine?"
Timothy had only seen this kind of extravagant wine, but he had never taken a sip of it.
"I specially bought it from the bar''s boss."
Skr''s words proved that the bottle of wine was genuine.
Unlike Timothy, Harvey had already helped himself to a ss of wine.
When Timothy saw Harvey drinking, he warned, "You''re really drinking it. He''s going to ask us for
something impossible in exchange for the value of the wine."
"We''re already here anyway. Could you still say no?"
"That''s true."
Harvey''s words seemed to have sobered Timothy up. He then poured himself a ss of wine and
downed it.
Both of them were good friends of Skr. If he was in trouble, they would definitely lend a helping
hand.
Skr watched as they drank and said, "I want you to think of a way to ruin my reputation."
"Puff! Cough, cough." Timothy almost spat out his wine. He looked at Harvey, "Did I mishear it?"
"No."
Harvey looked at Skr solemnly.
He knew that Skr was serious.
"Boss, it''s easy to ruin your reputation. Drugs, murder, arson, any one of them could destroy your
reputation easily."
Timothy couldn''t figure it out. Most people would want to improve their reputation, so why would
anyone want to ruin their reputation then?
"I''m not really going to ruin my reputation, I just want to arouse suspicions. I want others to assume that
I had done something questionable, and force the Rae family to draw a clear line with me and cancel
the engagement thereafter."
Hector was right. As Skyton Corporation''s boss, he couldn''t ignore his employees.
Therefore, all he needed to do was to arouse suspicions on his credibility.
"Drug possession."
This was the first thing that came to Timothy''s mind.
With such a crime, not only would he have to do time in prison, his reputation would be ruined too.
"No," Skr opposed immediately, "It would be too risky if I were to get my hands on real drugs."
He could disguise a pack of flour and fake it as drugs, but the flour could be easily identified.
Not to mention, the Rae family might not even consider taking the initiative to cut ties with him if he
were embroiled in such a trivial matter.
As a doctor, Harvey thought of one...
"Skr, I have an idea."
"Go ahead."
Skr had always felt that Harvey was much more reliable than Timothy. He listened to his proposal
carefully.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
"There was a smuggling attempt of baby corpses back then. It was said that people would use these
bodies to make jinxes."
"And?"
"We could imitate something of the sort, but we can''t do such a wicked thing as smuggling corpses.
The skeleton of a monkey is almost the same as a human''s. We could look for a fewplete monkey
bodies and te them with gold, and then we could try to link the cases to you. People in the business
world are afraid of such superstitions, so as long as this matter may have something to do with you..."
"I know what to do."
Before Harvey could finish his words, Skr already had an idea in his heart.
"Actually, this one is simr to drug possession. If you were to fake the scheme, it would be discovered
sooner orter. But the process will take longer, so by the time the police unearthed the truth, the Rae
family should have broken off the engagement with you."
Skr thought that this idea was feasible. Timothy praised him, "Harvey, you''re brilliant. How did you
"I am a doctor myself, so I was furious when I saw baby corpses being smuggled at that time. It
inevitably left a deep impression on me."
Harvey exined.
As a doctor, he had a duty to save lives. Thus, he would be enraged whenever he came across this
kind of news.
"I''ll have someone to make the necessary arrangements. You both are sworn to secrecy about
whatever that had happened tonight, alright?" Skr said, looking at Timothy, "Especially you."
"Yes, yes, yes. This is rted to your lifelong happiness. Of course, I will keep my mouth zipped tight."
Timothy nodded and promised.
......
Skr was done with the preparations three dayster. To give Grandmother Hond a peace of mind,
Skr called her and told her about this matter.
After hearing this, Grandmother Hond was silent for a long time. Then she said, "Are you sure the
bodies belong to monkeys? It can never be a child''s body."
"Don''t worry, Grandma. It won''t be."
Grandmother Hond wasn''t relieved until Skr assured her over and over again.
Everything went ording to n.
On October 28, Skr was at thepany and Valerie was sitting in the secretary''s office outside. She
saw five policemening out of the elevator and walking straight into Skr''s office.
