Chapter 781
Oscar scoffed, “Mom, I guess Noah and Stephanie must haveined to you, huh? Do you
remember the patient who went into aa after being electrocuted by the phone? Do you still
remember themotion his family caused in ourpany? And do you know who smashed and
injured me?”
Owen and Olivia froze for a moment.
“You mean Noah instigated the family?” Olivia raised her voice.
Oscar stood up, walked to his desk, and opened his drawer. He then drew out the document Emma
had given him and handed it to Olivia.
Olivia''s expression darkened after she went through the document. She could not believe her son-in-
law, who always appeared to be respectful and obedient, was the culprit behind all this.
She asked Oscar, “So Noah ganged up with that foreigner named June and did all these behind our
back? He has crossed the line!”
“Mom, everything is written in ck and white here. I''ve been treating him well because of you, yet he
turned his back against the Clinton family. What an ingrate,” Oscar replied nonchntly.
Olivia passed the document to Owen, and his expression turned grim after he flipped through the
pages.
“What''s your n, Oscar?” Owen asked.
“Terminate our partnership with Walker Group. It''s time to cut ties with that ingrate.”
Upon hearing that, Olivia hesitated. “But Oscar, Noah did mention he and June are business partners,
and I can understand this kind of coboration is unavoidable for apany that is about to go public.
Besides, your sister is his wife, and she''s carrying his child. Let''s not go overboard since we''re still
family.”
Oscar responded with a faint smile and said nothing.
“Should I get Noah to apologize to you? We should try our best to resolve this internal conflict since
we''re a family,” Olivia said so because she did not want Stephanie to suffer in the Walker family.
“Mom, you came all the way to the office to talk to me about this. I can''t say no to you, can I?”
“All right, then. I suppose Noah didn''t do those things on purpose. Everything will be okay once we talk
it out.”
Olivia then called Noah on the phone and asked him toe over. Soon, Noah arrived at thepany
with Stephanie.
“Stephanie, you should be resting at home since you''re pregnant. What are you doing here?” Olivia
helped her to the couch while ring at Noah.
“Dad, Mom, take a seat first. I''ll have a chat with Noah in the conference room. I must have this talk
with him in private.” Oscar nced at Noah. “Shall we?”
“Sure. How can I say no to you?”
Stephanie was a little worried, but when she was about to say anything, Olivia nudged her to stop her
from making anyments.
She had no choice but to remain silent.
Oscar and Noah then entered the conference room. Oscar walked to the window, overlooking the
hustle and bustle of the city.
“Oscar, is there something you want to talk to me about?”
“How long have you been in cahoots with June? Tell me the truth.”
Noah''s face changed for a bit, but he immediately feigned ignorance. “Yes, I''m interested in working
with June but only because he has strong support from the Aidleton family. We need him and the
Aidletons to break into the Erihal market. But what do you mean when you said I''m in cahoots with
him? I don''t get it.”
“You''re a smart man, Noah, and you''re very meticulous. But don''t you forget, I have all the resources in
the world to find out what you''re doing behind my back. I''m giving you one more chance—work with
me, and let''s take June down together. Otherwise, I''ll tell Mom about the losses Walker Group has
made over the years. You can tell how much my mom dotes on Stephanie, right? I''m sure she''ll ask
Stephanie to divorce you if she finds out about it. If that happens, you''ll lose everything. Also, I''m willing
to turn a blind eye to all the things you''ve done to destroy Clinton Corporations.”
Noah instantly nched at his words. After a short struggle, he said, “All right. I''ll follow your lead.”
Oscar walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, “I knew I could count on you.”
Noah responded with a wry smile, as he had no clue what Oscar''s next move would be.
Of course, Oscar would not let Noah off so easily. If Noah and June were two sneaky mice with some
dirty tricks up their sleeves, Oscar would be the watchful cat that would keep everything under his
control.
“I can help you with Walker Group''s cash flow, but you have to show me your sincerity. I remember
June stole a project proposal from me, and all I want you to do is increase the project''s budget. If you''re
willing to do this, the Clinton family will help you get through this,” Oscar said.
Noah felt it was an impossible mission. June is not an idiot. He''ll definitely not show me the proposal''s
budget.
“You think too highly of me, Oscar. June and I have only met a few times, and we only decided to
coborate because we get along pretty well. How would I know the budget of that project?”
“I heard the government is interested in developing thend opposite his project. All you need to do is
leak this piece of information to Noah. He''s a smart guy, so I''m sure he''ll expedite his project.”
Noah went deep in thought for a moment, as he did not know that the government would develop that
land.
“All right. I promise you,” Noah agreed.
“Great. Let''s head back to my office. I don''t want my parents and sister to worry about us. They''re
scared that I might do something to you.”

“Come on, Oscar.”
After returning to the office, Noah stered a sincere look on his face and bowed before Olivia and
Owen. “Dad, Mom, I''m sorry. I had been in partnership with June before this, and I didn''t know they
were actually business rivals. Had I known this earlier, I would have kept a distance from June. I''m sure
I''ve let you down, but I promise to take good care of Steph.”
Olivia nodded. “I''m d to hear that. Stephanie is our only daughter, so of course, we want the best for
her. As long as you treat her well, the Clintons will take good care of you too.”
Noah lowered his eyes to conceal his emotions.
Olivia and Owen left the office after a short talk.
Days went by peacefully after the talk Oscar had with Noah.
At this stage, Noah dared not step on Oscar''s toes anymore. That was why he did what Oscar said by
meeting up with June more frequently. He also intentionally mentioned the government wished to
develop thend opposite theirs into a supermarket and othermercial lots.
That news obviously piqued June''s interest, but he was still suspicious about it. After lighting a cigar,
June asked, “Where did you get this piece of news from? I''ve never heard of it before.”
“Oscar mentioned the project, and one of the men I stationed in Clinton Corporations overheard it, so
the information is definitely true. I heard he ns to bid for thend that the government wishes to
auction, and this is the amount.” Noah held up his index and middle fingers.
Upon seeing that, June asked, “Two hundred million?”
Noah responded with a snort and said, “June, are you kidding? You''re in this industry. How on earth did
youe up with that figure? That is arge piece ofnd, mind you.”
“Two billion?” June seemed calm. “Thend may berge, but it''s quite a distance from the city center.
Would the government really auction off thend to build a supermarket andmercial lots?”
“You can ignore what I said if you don''t want to believe me. I heard Clinton Corporations wanted to bid
thend with two billion and three hundred million. You think about it.” Noah did not borate further
and raised his ss. “Come, let''s toast to the sess of our coboration in the future.”
June clinked his ss with Noah''s before diving into deep thoughts.
After gulping down the ss of wine, Noah got up and said, “June, I''ll make a move first.”
June nodded in acknowledgment.
After Noah left June''spany, a breeze brushed over his face, sobering him up from the alcohol he
had earlier.
While walking to his car, he received a call from Emma.
His eyes darkened. After hesitating for a while, he answered the phone.
