Chapter 1887


    “I can handle this, Father! 1 guarantee that I will do everything in my power to get my hands on the


    secret recipe and take down Elegante Group once and for all!” Joel stepped forward.


    “Alright, I’ll let you take care of this, but remember, you have to be even more careful from now on.


    Please stay out of this as much as you can, and clean up after yourself so that neither the Thompsons


    nor Leon himself can catch you again!” Sebastian reminded him.


    “Yes, Father. Don’t worry, I won’tmit the same mistake twice! This time, I’m going to send Seth to


    do this! I’m certain that the Gns will easily be able to take care of two women!” Joel replied


    confidently.


    “That’s great to hear! As long as you don’t get involved yourself, we can easily take care of Seth should


    he get caught or something else goes wrong!” Sebastian nodded in affirmation.


    “Yes, Father. I’ll go discuss this with him right now!” with that, Joel retreated and left the office.


    “Ring-”


    He just exited the room when all of a sudden, his phone rang.


    It was none other than Gordon.


    He picked up the call and, after some brief greetings, the two of them decided to meet at their usual


    spot- the private club, to discuss this!


    When he arrived at the private booth at the club, Joel took out his phone to dial Seth’s number.


    Not long after that, Gordon arrived.


    The three of them finally met again at the same spot, but this time, the circumstances were different


    from theirst meeting.


    Thest time they were here, they intended to host a celebratory dinner here tomemorate their


    victory over Leon and Elegante Group!


    However, now, things did not go as nned, and the three of them were ashen–faced–different from


    how they initially thought!


    “What happened, Vice President Bailey?” Seth could not help asking, frowning, when he saw how


    despaired Gordon appeared to be.


    “Don’t mention it anymore. Leon managed to trace the faulty batch of stock back to Hughes Group, and


    Darius punished me by demoting me to the Logistics Department,” Gordon exined, sighing.


    “What?” both Seth and Joel were shocked to hear this, but especially Joel. He never thought that


    Gordon would have suffered the same consequences he had.


    “Didn’t you already have a scapegoat to take the me? How did he even find out that you were


    involved anyway?” he asked dubiously.


    “Yes, I indeed arranged for a scapegoat to do so, but Darius doesn’t believe a single word I say,”


    Gordon replied bitterly.


    “Well,” Joel did not know how to respond. He wanted to console Gordon, but knowing that this was all


    his

    fault in the first ce, he did not know where to even begin.


    “Mister Hiltons, Inded in this predicament because I listened to your orders and did as you said. Now


    that I’ve lost my job, you have to help me turn this around,” Gordon replied. This was the reason he


    called Joel in the first ce; he wanted to see if Joel could help him get his old job at the Distribution


    Department back!


    “Don’t worry, Vice President Bailey. Since I’m the reason you ended up like this in the first ce, I won’t


    let you bear the losses for too long! I’ve alreadye up with a new idea to get rid of Leon and


    Elegante Group! After I get my hands on the secret recipe and some other good stuff, I’ll share the


    profits with you, and it will be more than enough to make up for your losses!” Joel promised.
