Chapter 326 - Undermining
Jake thought that Alexander didn\'t believe his words, so he could only hesitantly continue. "B-Big bro, although that little beauty was pretty, I know some fresh actresses with a similar, no, even better look! Let\'s not waste our time on this rich missy, and—!"
Alexander interrupted him with a cold snort. "Heh, so what if it\'s the White Deer\'s little princess? Not to mention the Gray Wolfe, can they even compare to the Golden Eagle?"
The blonde boy\'s face immediately turned pale from fear. "B-Big bro, don\'t joke around! Even if the White Deer isn\'t the number one in the world, for the likes of us, they might as well be! We can\'t afford to provoke them!"
The dark-haired man sneered derisively. "It is them who cannot afford to provoke me, not the other way around. Heh… just a little baby dares jump around in front of me? Within one month, I\'ll have her right under this table, sucking on my cock, one way or the other!"
His words were like a bomb that caused fear to explode in Jake\'s heart.
But while the blonde boy was on the verge of fainting from terror as he imagined the dark road his friend insisted on treading, Alexander only tapped his finger on the table with a daring grin. \'If I don\'t trim her wings and rub her into the ground, my name isn\'t Alexander Gray!\'
Meanwhile, back in the White Deer Corporation\'s office, Emilia was still snuggling into Noelle\'s lap as she waited for her older sister to return from a meeting.
Of course, she could always have called to let her know she was here, and the older girl would rush to her without thinking, but Emilia wouldn\'t do that.
Knowing Noelle, the girl\'s pride was so high that she definitely wouldn\'t accept such \'public display of affection\' in front of anyone else… especially not Sam. So it was only until her big sister came back that Emilia could have fun with this gray-haired beauty.
Noelle wasn\'t aware of Emilia\'s \'true intentions\', and while she was slightly distracted by the \'affectionate gestures\' of her little boss, she couldn\'t help but frown when she heard the crimson-haired beauty\'s words. "I\'m sorry, I think I misheard you?"
Of course, she couldn\'t be blamed, considering how Emilia had been whispering against her ears while biting her earlobe every few seconds, Noelle\'s attention had understandably been \'somewhere else\'.
Emilia just smiled as she leaned back to look into the older girl\'s eyes. "Were you distracted? Tsk tsk, not listening to your boss, what were you thinking? Something naughty?"
Noelle couldn\'t help but roll her eyes in exasperation as she lightly swatted the girl\'s butt. "Be serious, who\'s the one being naughty?"
Emilia pretended to be hurt as she yelped, but seeing how it didn\'t seem to have any impact on the gray-haired girl at all, she could only pout in defeat. "Alright, I\'ll say it again then. You arrange for those two morons to have a private dinner with me—"
Seeing how Noelle\'s face turned dark in anger, the crimson-haired girl hurriedly planted a kiss on her lips before continuing. "O-Of course, you\'ll also be there to protect me at that time! So, don\'t worry."
Noelle sighed as she leaned forward to press their foreheads together. "What the hell are you thinking, Emilia? Even if that guy is going to be the future leader of the Gray Wolfe, there is no need for us to bow down and try to reconcile with him, right?"
In her mind, not only was it unlikely for someone in that kind of position to keep such a small personal grudge in his heart for long, but it was also equally unlikely for him to be able to do anything about it even if he did.
After all, while the Gray Wolfe and White Deer hardly had any dealings together, and even the areas they operated in were different.
And with their strength, Noelle didn\'t believe there was any need to worry about the Gray Wolfe trying to make things harder, since there was no way to tell who would be the one to really suffer at that time.
Even if that man turned out to be an idiot in the end, surely, just as Noelle often did with Sam, there would be people by his side who would dissuade him from doing such a self-destructive thing, right?
But who knew that Emilia\'s thoughts were in an entirely different direction? Even Noelle only realized so after looking at the girl\'s mischievous smirk, and she suddenly had a bad feelign in her heart.
Of course, knowing her little boss for so long, her thought process wasn\'t completely alien to Noelle. Emilia already knew that Alexander had come to their Oriana country about three years ago, and his current company, Callahoun\'s, had been established around two years ago.
As for what he was doing for the first year… well, to put it simply, he fucked around with any girl he found pretty, almost blowing through half the capital he had been given to start his company. Naturally, such a person wouldn\'t be \'pleasing\' to the eyes of her little boss at all.
As far as the competition was concerned, had it been even remotely fair, it would be impossible for Alexander to catch up with his two siblings with half his capital and a year of time gone just like that. Of course, with his parents\' secret support, it hardly mattered.
But maybe his parents didn\'t want his rise to be too suspicious and drastic, and wanted his growth to be slow at the start to make it look more genuine. Even now, his \'Callahoun\'s\' was only starting to show the potential for growth.
Of course, Alexander had to be blamed for entering a market that had very little chance of explosive growth in the first place, so if his parents really decided to do so, it would be extremely strange.
But going by how Alexander seemed obsessed with small actresses and had ruined a few already, it was only a matter of time before he delved into the entertainment industry.
And once he did, it would be incredibly easy for his parents to arrange a \'down on his luck excellent director\', which would lead to an \'unexpected\' mega-hit on the box office, leading to Alexander\'s investment multiplying shortly.
But now that Emilia knew about this… would she stand by and let her opponent consolidate their strength? Of course not!
The gray-haired girl could only groan in exasperation as she lamented the fact that her report had been a little too thorough. "What the hell are you thinking?"
Emilia stuck her tongue out with a smile. "Guess~?"
Noelle couldn\'t help but roll her eyes as she barely resisted the urge to bite the pink tongue peeking out from those sexy little lips. "Just say it!"
The crimson-haired girl could only pout aggrievedly. "Meanie!"
"…"
Emilia knew when not to go too far, so her previous expression that had been full of grievances quickly changed into a smug, self-satisfied smile, almost giving Noelle whiplash. "Ehehehe… wouldn\'t you like to know~?"
