But he didn&#8217;t know why Lance was annoyed.<\/p>\n<p>Simon frowned and felt a bit scared.<\/p>\n<p>To become the CEO of the Cordova Group, Bryson had offended a lot of people. Simon thought that Lance and Bryson might bear grudges against each other.<\/p>\n<p>So he tried to sound out Lance&#8217;s mind. &#8220;Lance, do you have any problem with my uncle Bryson?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that, Lance got angrier. Simon realized that he was right. Lance did have a bad relationship with Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>Ten seconds later, Lance asked, &#8220;Do you know Audrey?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sure, she is my aunt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then Lance stared at Simon with a murderous look.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Lance&#8217;s reaction, Simon remembered something. He thought, &#8216;Is it about Lance and Audrey?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have you heard about Lance Brook?&#8221; Lance asked with a distorted face.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Simon did have heard about Lance countless times. And he heard from those who went to the Pine City with Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>Lance was once offended by Bryson. So Lance kidnapped Audrey when Bryson went to the Pine City. Finally, Bryson turned to the military to save Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever thinking of this story, Simon found Lance admirable but also horrible.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand, Lance was horrible since he was powerful in the underworld. On the other hand, Simon admired him as he fought with Bryson for a woman and kept safe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You, you &#8230; you&#8217;re Lance?&#8221; Simon asked in a shaky voice.<\/p>\n<p>Lance nodded.<\/p>\n<p>Realizing the truth, Simon was stunned.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that he was in danger again. He worried that Lance would be aggressive to him because of Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>He seemed cursed with bad luck.<\/p>\n<p>While he was concerned, Lance returned his phone to him and said, &#8220;Call Bryson now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon was trembling. He asked in a low voice, &#8220;Call &#8230; call him for what?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ask him where he is. I&#8217;ll take you there.&#8221; Lance glanced at Simon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What? You&#8217;ll take me to Bryson?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s wrong? You don&#8217;t wanna go?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon once believed that Lance wanted to kidnap him and blackmail Bryson. He seemed wrong.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, he was eager to leave since it was dangerous to stay here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But will he go for revenge?&#8217; Simon wondered.<\/p>\n<p>Simon called Bryson immediately and Bryson told him where he was. Simon implied that dangerous persons would come with him. Then he told Lance an address.<\/p>\n<p>And he was taken into the car. They went back to the city.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>At the Cordova Group.<\/p>\n<p>When Simon and Lance arrived at the Cordova Group, Bryson just finished a meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Lance, a neat freak, looked gentle and elegant in white clothes. Thus many women in the office were attracted by him.<\/p>\n<p>However, those guys following Lance looked aggressive. So several security guards in the Cordova Group went with them although they knew Simon.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Bryson went out of the meeting room, he saw Simon and Lance.<\/p>\n<p>Other leaders bypassed them and walked to the elevator quietly as they thought those persons were dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Melvin and Franco, who met Lance before, looked at Lance nervously. They worried that Lance would fight with Bryson in the office.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My pleasure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson revealed a meaningful smile and stared at Lance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Brook, I don&#8217;t think you merely come for Simon, do you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re so smart, Mr. Cordova.&#8221; Lance lowered his head and chuckled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Actually, it&#8217;s not a big deal. I established a new company. And I think your group is our best partner,&#8221; said Lance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Partner?&#8221; Bryson raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, partner. What? Isn&#8217;t my company qualified?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course yes. If you just come for cooperation, that&#8217;s easy. I&#8217;m pleased to work with you, Mr. Brook.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s pretty good. Since you agree, I&#8217;ll send you the contract tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Achieving his goal, Lance stood up in satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>He looked at Simon and said, &#8220;Well, I keep my promise to take you here. See you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon stood up quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;See you, Mr. Brook.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Lance left, Simon didn&#8217;t dare to look at Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>He won&#8217;t be taken away by Lance if he didn&#8217;t leave his security guards to watch the show. Bryson was forced to cooperate with Lance because of him.<\/p>\n<p>He said to Bryson nervously, &#8220;Uncle, my mother heard that I was kidnapped. She must be worried. I should go home to see her now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did I allow you to leave?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3774","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
