?Chapter 932:


    Hackettughed out loud. “Huey, have you lost your senses? Dani? She’s insignificant! Do you believe she could hijack so many of your ships? If it were really her, I’d cover your losses, no problem.” Hackett burst intoughter on the phone.


    Huey looked down, saying, “I just confronted Dani today, and then my ships were ambushed by pirates. How could that be a coincidence?” Hackett chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’ll look into it, but with that much lost at sea, it’s usually gone for good. Brace yourself.” Hackett ended the call.


    Huey spat, seething with anger.


    He stood by the hotel entrance, waiting for Cedric to finish with his foreign guests.


    Over half an hourter, Cedric finally appeared, and Huey’s phone rang.


    A friend told Huey, “No matter what you offer, those ships are gone for good.”


    Huey felt his heart drop. “Why?”


    “They say you’ve upset someone. The goods aren’ting back. Stop wasting your time.”


    Desperate, Huey said, “You’ve been in this game for over fifty years. Don’t you have any sway? This represents everything I’ve worked for. Those raw materials are of no use to them. These are client orders, and if I miss the deadline, I’ll face heavy penalties! It will destroy me!”


    The person on the other end paused for a moment, then said, “I can’t help you here. I don’t have that kind of influence. You should find someone locally to…”


    Huey sighed, ending the call. “Produce a new batch and beg the person you’ve angered for mercy. That might be your only shot.”


    He needed to locate a factory to produce the goods, but where could he possibly find one? In his days of monopoly, he’d crush anypetitor at the slightest challenge. Now, there wasn’t even a small workshop avable, let alone a factory.


    Huey looked up and saw that Cedric had already departed with the foreign guests, leaving the area deserted. Feeling defeated, he told his driver to head for Dani’s ce.

    As Cedric returned from the reception, he noticed Dani holding a shivering stray puppy in her arms. As they got ready to take the puppy to the vet, Huey showed up. “Not right now,” Dani said, pointing to Cedric behind her. “Talk to Cedric.”


    This time, Huey was more cautious. He gave Cedric a quick nce before following Dani as she walked out.


    “Ms. Harper, I know a great pet hospital with skilled doctors. Follow my car.”


    Huey’s behavior now was utterly submissive, a sharp contrast to the arrogance he disyed at the banquet and his ruthless nature after being humiliated by Lillian.


    The puppy was taken to the hospital, and Cedric gently ced a coat over Dani’s shoulders.


    “Ms. Harper, today’s incident was a misunderstanding. I’m truly sorry! I spoke without thinking! I was incredibly drunk! Please don’t hold it against me.”


    Cedric turned to face Huey, his brows furrowed in confusion. “What exactly did you say?” His voice carried an underlying menace. Huey’s heart dropped. “I forgot. It was a slip of the tongue, not intentional. Please, I’m really sorry!”


    Huey, known for his appearances on financial channels, was typically arrogant and dismissive. Thest time he visited this pet hospital, he’d even assaulted a doctor. Now, his submissive behavior—almost bowing in front of them—was a gratifying sight.
