Money Only to Burn

Chapter 86

As usual, Cyril sent a contract to Joyce.

Joyce will safely send them to Hatcher via DH Enterprise, ensuring they cannot be traced back to Cyril.

The Green family is very strong. Hatchers will need to be devious to ensure they meet their contractual obligations.

Cyril believes Hatcher can handle the situation and take care of any problems that may arise.

Cyril took the women shopping

after lunch.

The women love the new VIP cards, enjoying huge discounts in the shops along Mandelo Street.

"I'm very impressed. You must be very influential to have access to a card like this!"

With VIP cards, Chanel bags and all other brand name items, are discounted fifty percent.

The deal was very interesting.

Jane will buy more but discounts are limited to one item per card.

"The VIP card belongs to my boss." Cyril lied.

"Use it while you can."

"Fantastic! I'll shop till I drop!" Mullen was very happy.

He hasn't been shopping for a long time.

The ladies go shopping a little crazy, buying all the brand names of clothing and accessories they can.

Apparently, Cyril was a pelvic porters now that they kept handing over their bags to carry.

Cyril was surprised that each woman bought him a gift of thanks.

By nightfall, all the women were shopping and were finally ready to return.

Trevor, on the other hand, had gone home, severely reprimanded by his father.

Staff from DH Enterprise have arrived to execute acquisition contracts for Yole Villa Resort, Macaria Hotel, and Brizo Mall.

Despite the shareholding in Trevor's name, the operations team still reports directly to his father, Martin Green.

Of course, the team would tell his father about such an important deal.

Trevor knew that his father was very angry. He had already canceled all his meetings, instructing Trevor to meet him at home immediately. That's not a good sign.

"I worked my whole life to build this company. With one deal, you have destroyed three generations of hard work!" Martin nags.

"Tell me how exactly this happened!"

Martin would not give up without a fight. Their family reputation is at stake.

Trevor was forced to tell his father what really happened.

"Your uncle is on leave and under investigation?"

Martin frowned at the bad news. "Why wasn't I told about this earlier?"

"Yes. DH Enterprises seemed to know that he had been given a leave of absence before reaching an agreement with me." Trevor retells.

"They're sneaky I'll give it to them." Maarten was pacing around the room while pondering how to get the asset back.

Unfortunately, he did not have any brilliant plans. Their family is no match for the DH Enterprise.

"I think I need to talk to this Cyril Woodley. I wonder how connected she is to Hatcher Chambers. " Martin's best hope is to negotiate with Cyril.

"Dad, why don't we get Big Larry to kidnap Cyril and then use it to blackmail Hatcher." Trevor is very familiar with Big Larry.

They've done a few deals together in the past.

"Depends on how valuable Cyril is to Hatcher. He's just an employee. If Cyril wasn't important to Hatcher then it wouldn't have made a difference."

"Find out how important Cyril is to Hatcher. Then we'll make a plan."

Father and son both think hard when a loud "bump" discharges their concentration.

"I know how to figure out how important Cyril is to Hatcher."

A sexy and beautiful woman in her thirties walked into the room. She was wearing a cheongsam and looked very charming.

Nina Green is Martin's younger sister. She is a very capable woman who has contributed tremendously to the wealth and reputation of the Green family.

"What do you think Nina?" Martin knew he could rely on his brother's intelligence to make a clever plan.

"I need a photo of Cyril Woodley and I need to know how she usually dresses. I'll find something." Nina spoke confidently.

"The clothes are cheap. He usually only wears plain white shirts. I'll figure out a way to get the photos. I know he's on Mandelo Street today. I'm gonna bribe the restaurant for security footage."

Trevor quickly started work Looking for information and making calls.

"good. Quickly finish." Nina nodded at Trevor and turned to her brother.

"Martin, ask for a face-to-face meeting with Hatcher in your office to discuss the execution of the contract."

"OK deh. I'll call him now. And later? What else do I need to do?"

"none. I need time before the meeting so schedule the day after tomorrow. I'll go into the office with you."

"No problem. I'll take care of it." Martin believed in his brother.

Now is the calm before the storm.

But the storm is coming.

Unlike other common royals, who might give up against a formidable company like DH Enterprises, the Green family, as one of the four prominent families in Chinsy, would not let him lie down.

Maarten waited at the entrance to greet Hatcher, "Hello Mr. Chambers, it has been a long time since we have met. How are you doing? "

He had a plastic smile on his face.

Niena stood beside him with an eye-catching red cheongsam again, as sexy as ever.

"Mr Green, thank you for coming all the way here to welcome me." Hatcher smiled as she shook hands with Maarten.

"Let's discuss the details in the room." Maarten said as she opened the door for Hatcher and Niena.

It was a nice meeting room with a large LCD television used for Zoom conference calls.

Chinsy news channels lit up as they entered the room.

"Who used the room just now? why is the TV not turned off? It's a distraction. " Maarten pretended to be angry.

"Sorry boss, I'll shut it down immediately." Niena said with a smile as she poured a glass of water for Hatcher and turned off the television.

"It's okay." Hatcher was not disturbed. Then a news caught his attention.

"We just received the latest road accident update. There has been an accident on South Bay Road, involving one death and two injuries.

"One person was pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified as Cyril Woodley..."

"Hold it!" Hatcher said when she heard Cyril Woodley, looking slightly shaken.

he walked towards the television screen to look at the picture.

Images of the dead show a person wearing a white shirt and Cyril-like body.

His glass of white water trembled as his hands trembled. He did not believe what he saw but quickly recovered his composure.

Maarten and Niena saw his reaction.

They looked at me and smiled.

"Should we begin our discussion Mr Chambers?" Maarten turned off the screen and said in a higher tone voice on purpose.

"Yes, let's get started! " Hatcher was worried and wanted to call Cyril to check on her but she forced herself to focus on finishing the negotiations first.

Two hours later, he left Green Enterprises and called Cyril when he came out. Once he knew that Cyril was good, he relaxed.

"It looks like a case of the same name, the same last name. Thank goodness Mr. Woodley is well."

Hatcher thought as he got into the car and wiped off his sweat. For a long time, he had not felt such anxiety.

The hallway on the street, he felt something was wrong.

"It's too coincidental. The news came as I walked into the meeting room with Mr. Woodley's full name. That's a little weird."

Having long been in the business world fostered a sense of sharpness in him.

He called his assistant.

"Leo, check if there's been an accident on South Bay Road this afternoon."

Before long, Leo called back to let him know that there was no accident on South Bay Road that afternoon.

"As I thought. They're testing me to see how I react. " Hatcher said that they used Cyril to test it.

He reasoned that they would not stop just testing him. They must have had a motive and probably used Cyril to blackmail him.

He called Cyril again. Cyril was practicing martial arts at Mullen's villa right at the call-in, he was a little surprised.

"Hatcher's acting weird today." Cyril thought while picking up the phone.

"Mr Woodley, I think the Green Party will cause you trouble. Better keep Joyce with you at all times." Hatcher said.

Cyril frowned.

So, the Green Party will target him to regain their assets.

"Then, should we also take action?" Cyril knew that it must have been serious for Hatcher to worry about.

In this case, there is no room for mercy.

"I have the same idea Mr. Woodley." Hatcher.

Cyril looked sneaky when he hung up.

Within seconds, Fat*** Larry called. Cyril raised the call.

"Mr Woodley, I just received a call from the Green Party to kidnap you. What am I supposed to do?" Fat***Larry sounded out of breath.

"Accept the offer, convince them and wait for my news." Cyril feels comfortable once he finds out that the Greens have made Larry solve their problems.

"Ok Mr Woodley." Larry then hung up.

"The Greens would never have thought that Fat***Larry was one of my men. Let's see who's in trouble. " Cyril smiled.

Perfect opportunity to work with Hatcher to acquire more assets from Green. Let's wait for the fish to take the bait.

Natasha has prepared a full report on the Green Party's financial status.

With a complete picture of what they have, it will be easy to strike their pain point.

The portfolio of Greens includes businesses in the IT and mobile industries, consumer electronics, online and physical stores in Chinsy.

Their online sales have grown exponentially in recent years.

The profits are then invested into property, hospitality and F&B businesses. Their live streaming business caught Cyril's attention.

"intriguing. The Flying Dutchman is owned by them. I like that."

Cyril intends to expand the live streaming business of Permanent Cultural Entertainment Company so as to take over.
