    Chapter 2047 Insistence


    Evan narrowed his eyes in suspicion. “What is so important that you have to make the call for him?” he


    asked calmly several momentster.


    Patrickughed sycophantically. “He says he has something huge to ask of you. Hold on, he wants to


    do the talking.” Pushing the phone against Davin’s chest, the older man snarled, “Here, Davin. Speak


    to your brother. Don’t be afraid to be specific.”


    Davin took the phone forlornly. “Hello, Evan? I’m sorry to be calling you like this given how busy you


    must be right now, having to adjust to the jetg and all. I hope the foreign clients aren’t being a


    handful! Anyway, my father-inw has something urgent he wants me to ask you. Do you have a few


    minutes to spare?”


    Jetg? Foreign clients? Evan put the cryptic message together quickly.


    Looks like She’s old man must have forced them to make this phone call. Davin isn’t the one who


    needs my help. Patrick is! That was pretty smart of Davin to convey the situation subtly.


    “What is it?” Evan asked in mock concern. “My father-inw needs a loan of two billion. Would it be


    convenient for thepany to lend him this amount right now?”


    Evan smirked as he listened to the masterful way his brother was delivering his lines with just the right


    amount of hesitance. “Though two billion isn’t much for us to spare and we would approve the loan


    under normal circumstances, there’s been a hup in the finance department. We would need a couple


    of days for that amount to be liquidated.”


    “Is that so?” came Davin’s voice. “All right then. In a couple of days, we’ll-”Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Evan,” interrupted Patrick in amanding tone. “I’m afraid I can’t wait that long. How about you


    make a call to have it delivered to me?”


    Davin turned to regard his father-inw with disgust. Who the hell do you think you are to have your


    creditor deliver your loan to you?


    Evan, too, was taken aback by the old man’s audacity. He’s only acting this way because he knows


    about Dad and is using that to ckmail us. If he weren’t the father-inw of my brother, I’ll tear him


    into pieces! Let’s see if he dares bring it up with me. I willpletely neutralize the threat of any


    leverage.


    Even She felt the need to step in. “That’s a little too much, Dad. Evan has already told you there’s


    been some trouble with the money. Don’t you think it’s rude to insist he deliver the money to you?”


    “This isn’t a negotiation, She. Calling it a loan is sugarcoating it. To be perfectly honest, this is a


    transaction. The loan will ensure their family remains in harmony for as long as necessary. It’s a minor


    investment for them.”


    Turning back to the phone, Patrick added smugly, “I’m sure you get my drift, Evan.”


    “I’m afraid you’re not worthy of conducting transactions with me, Patrick,” said Evan coldly.


    “I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, Evan, but something’s happened to your father. He-”


    Patrick was losing patience. He was about to resort to ckmailing him with his father’s mistress when


    Evan cut across him.


    “Please don’t concern yourself with my father’s personal life, Mr. Muir. You may find it more prudent to


    worry about your own instead.” At that imperious tone, he hung up.


    Patrick turned an ugly shade of gray. “What is the meaning of this? How dare he hang up on me before


    I finished speaking?”


    Davin red at his father-inw irritably. “Didn’t Evan say it’ll take a couple of days for the money to be


    ready?”


    “How many days, exactly? I know when I’m being yed, son!” Patrick’s scowl grew increasingly grim.


    “This necessitates a trip to the Seet residence.”
