?Chapter 1429:


    Javier stiffened, his expression growing dark.


    As Bryan disappeared from view, Javier hastily retreated to his car. He took a moment topose himself before dialing Colby’s number, his anger barely contained.


    The instant the call connected, Javier’s fury erupted. He said angrily, “1 instructed you to arrange a meeting with Bryan on my behalf. Did you follow through?”


    A beat of silence passed before Colby replied, “No. I didn’t want you giving in. I’ll handle the situation on my own.” “You think you can handle this?” Javier scoffed, his dissatisfaction boiling over. “When have you ever managed anything sessfully? You never heed my instructions. You’re utterly ipetent!”


    Silence greeted his outburst.


    If not for the screen showing the call hadn’t ended, Javier might have assumed the line had gone dead.


    “Starting today, you’re barred from thepany,” Javiermanded. “Stay home and keep a watchful eye on her


    when I’m absent.”


    Colby understood Javier meant Amoura.


    “What’s the matter?” Colby’s insolent tone grated on Javier’s nerves. “Having doubts about the woman you chose to marry?”


    Despite his anger, Javier recognized who was closer to him. Yet Colby’s tone made his temples throb.


    “Enough!” Javier snapped. “She’ll get nothing from me but  money! If you value what you have now, you’ll do as I say!” “Understood,” Colby replied before ending the call.

    Colby tossed his phone aside, his gaze drifting to the  Deleon family home’s gate. A grin slowly spread across his face, twisting the scar at the corner of his mouth.


    Within three days, the Deleon Group made a startling announcement: they were terminating several partnerships, incurring substantial penalties in the process. Despite this setback, thepany’s robust foreign backing ensured they could weather the domestic market for at least another two years without significant issues. However, the shareholders were unlikely to be pleased with this turn of events.


    When Eileen saw the news, she felt that something wasn’t right. “Did you meet with Javier?” she asked Bryan. From her limited interactions with Javier, Eileen knew him to be relentlessly persistent.


    If Javier couldn’t resolve issues with those business partners, she was certain he would seek out Bryan, especially given Bryan’s message to Colby.


    Bryan engrossed in his culinary endeavors, responded casually, “We met by coincidence. We crossed paths at the project site and chatted for about ten minutes. ”


    Eileen marveled at Bryan’s efficiency. In mere minutes, he had outmaneuvered Javier, forcing him to dig into his own pockets to resolve the situation.


    “Did you discuss Amoura with him?” she asked.


    “I did,” Bryan replied. After a thoughtful pause, he arched an eyebrow and added, “But… The situation might not be as dire as we initially believed it to be. We may not even need to intervene.”


    Eileen’s eyes widened in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, she chuckled. “No intervention needed? Then who will handle it? Could Christos help you deal with his own mother or something?”
