Chapter 758


    Martin really had enough of her always being like this.


    When Joyce saw him looking at her and asking that question, she was so touched and wanted to say


    something. Yet, when she recalled that awkward situation that day, she quickly put that nonsense away


    and told him straightaway what was troubling her, “Martin, my family recently lost a bid fornd near


    San Joto to the Riddle Corporation, and they’ve also taken a few of our projects recently. There’s a new


    recent project that we want to work on with the Riddle Corporation. My family has prepared well for it.


    Could you pass on a word to Mr. Wyance…?”


    What the McCarthy family feared the most was if the Riddle Corporation asked first and got handed the


    project, then the McCarthy Corporation would be totally done for.

    Martin nced at her somewhat speechlessly. This sort of matter was the most boring of things in his


    eyes, and he did not expect Joyce to be out of sorts because of that.


    He then said, “Don’t worry. I’ll let Dad know if the McCarthy Corporation really runs into trouble. Focus


    on the experiment and don’t get distracted again, or else…”


    He gave Joyce a warning look, hinting that she should know what he meant.


    Joyce understood what he meant as a look of surprise appeared on her face. She totally did not expect


    him to agree just like that. “Don’t worry, Martin. We’ve already at the final stage of our research. I’ll


    focus on it.”


    Martin nced at her, thinking to himself. ‘Oh, so you actually know that the research is at its final


    stage?’


    However, in order to reassure her, he took off his glove and disinfected himself before leaving theb.


    He stood by the door and gave his father a call.


    The call only connected after a good while, and Martin said with some irritation, “Dad, what’s taking you


    so long to answer the call?”


    A melodious voice came from the other end. “Martin? Your father is in a meeting right now. Just let me


    know if there’s anything.”


    Martin frowned when he heard the voice. He almost wanted to immediately cut the line, but after


    pondering for a bit, he restrained himself. “Get my dad to call me back once he is done.”


    After that, he pressed the red disconnect button on the phone screen.


    Only then did he remember, ‘Isn’t Nicole from the Riddle family?


    ‘The McCarthy family actually wants to work with the Riddle family. I wonder if Nicole would agree or


    not.’


    Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. ‘I should not have straightaway agreed to Joyce on this.


    ‘After all, Dad did support the Riddle family for that piece ofnd. That shows that the Riddle family has


    an outstanding point.’


    However, he had already given his word and could not go back on it. Thinking of this, he could not help


    but ruffle his messy hair, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.


    However, after some pondering, he walked in and said to the anticipating Joyce, “Wait a bit, my dad is


    in a meeting. I’ll give him a call once he’s done.”


    Joyce was a little disappointed, but she dared not say anything and only nodded. As long as Martin is


    willing to help me, it’s more than enough.’


    Martin looked at Joyce and felt that she looked rather pitiful.


    After all, he was somewhat responsible for the McCarthy family’s failure in losing thend bid. If he


    were to just let things be and allow the McCarthy Corporation to go bankrupt, it would rub against his


    conscience, so he could only give it a try.


    Martin forced himself to stop thinking about it as he turned to look at the numbers on his instrument


    panel with tretful eyes


    Joyce on the other hand, thought Martin was worried about the experiment’s results, so she stared at


    the instrument panel too, but her wandering eyes looked a little absentminded.


    To her, her medical research was important, but her family matters were obviously much more


    important.


    It was only when the McCarthy family found no help after searching around did she thicken her skin


    and look for Martin once again,


    As long as they could get this project, they could recover the loss incurred in losing that plot ofnd.


    But she knew her father had not put much effort into this cooperation proposal. He was instead trying to


    find someone to get an opportunity to speak with Mr. Wyance and get thetter to consider them once


    again


    However, the McCarthy family did not know many people in San Joto, and their base was weak. Yet,


    they did not want to focus on their industry but instead hoped to get into ces of wealth and power


    using connections, so their reputation in San Joto was just very average.
