Chapter 121: Making Deal (2)

"Evan!" Anthony Collins stood up from his president’s chair and walked to join Evan on the sofa. "What do you want to drink?"

Evan placed his cellphone in his suit pocket and looked at the old man. Whenever he looked at his father, he felt annoyed because this man resembled him too much. Well, maybe the other way around. His ocean blue eyes were very similar to his father’s. Even their sturdy jaws were the same. What distinguishes them now is hair. His father’s hair was starting to look gray, and his father also wore glasses with gold frames.

Not many memories were left between them when Evan was a child. His father was too busy taking care of the Collins Group rather than spending time with his family. Every time he met his father, he felt proud and burdened because he was prepared to be his successor. The burden of being the successor of Anthony Collins was too much for him. He didn’t know if he could do that.

As the son of Anthony Collins, he was so proud to have a father like Anthony Collins. However, his pride disappeared when his father decided to divorce his mother.

"There’s no need to bother. I won’t be here long...." His cold voice was proof that he wasn’t happy to be in this place. He knew his father was buying time to be longer with him, as his father had always been.

Evan’s cold refusal was ignored by Anthony Collins. He pressed the land phone beside his seat. He asked someone to deliver tea for them.

"You ask me to come here. What is it?"

"I can’t ask my only son to come to meet me?"

Evan had learned long ago that his father would never ask him to come to meet him if nothing significant happened. He remained silent as he looked at a female secretary serving them tea and a few snacks.

Anthony took a sip of his tea. "I see your company is getting more and more successful. You guys won the tender for an oil refinery in Vale city. As your father, I am very proud of you...."

Evan exhaled deeply. He restrained himself from standing up and left the room. His father was stalling his time. "No need to beat around the bush. Tell me, what is your purpose for calling me here...."

"Fine! Let’s not talk about business." Anthony places his teacup. And sat comfortably, looking at his impatient son. He really misses him, but this child really hates him so much. He took a silent sigh before continuing his words, "I hear you bring a beautiful lady to Platinum. Who is she?"

"I’m sure you already know her identity. Why are you asking me again?" Evan patted the sofa arm with his index fingers.

A gentle smile frames Anthony’s face, "When are you planning to introduce me to Miss Wilson? I heard from someone you already introduced him to your mother...."

Evan’s heart tightened. What was bothering him turned out to be true. His father had already investigated Rose’s identity. His hands clenched into fists tightly till his knuckles turned white.

"Don’t even think about hurting her! Or you will suffer the consequences...." Evan was never afraid of his father, even though he knew his father’s power was not to be taken lightly. This old man has a vast influence to support him behind.

Anthony was taken aback by his son’s reaction. It was the first time his son had shown such exaggerated emotions in front of him. This young man had always been calm even though he had provoked him many times. But now!? He only said Miss Wilson’s name, and he became angry. Interesting! Miss Wilson is so attractive that she can make his son show his weakness.

"I’m your father, Evan! How could I harm the woman you love?" Anthony smiled as he took another sip of his tea. "But__."

"There are no buts! She is the only woman I will spend my life with...." Evan already guessed what was on his father’s mind. He couldn’t let this old man interfere with his decisions, including who he will marry later.

"Hahaha, my son... I think having a lover will change you. Turns out you’re still the same. Still impatient..."

Evan remained silent. He knew right now he was overreacting in front of his father. He shouldn’t have shown his anger.

"I just wanted to say, think again before you decide to marry her. Check her family background. What family does she come from? Never marry someone with a dark background, like her last name didn’t carry his father’s name...."

"I will never need your blessing if I marry her someday. So, stop asking me or telling me what I should do...."

"Think about your future, Evan. Come back to Collins Group. Help me to take care of this company. Though your company is big, it’s nothing compared to the Collins Group. But__."

"No!"

"God! Can you let me finish my words before you answer?" Anthony exhales again, trying to calm his anger. This young man always makes his blood boil every time they talk. He narrowed his eyes, looking at his son standing from his seat.

"I’m not done talking, Evan. Sits!" Anthony’s voice sounded more serious than before.

"Sorry! I still have a lot of work to do. Though my company is much smaller than yours, I built this company on my own blood and sweat. I’m not like you who got company from your father... makes you so relaxed to chat within office hours!" After venting his sarcasm inside his head, Evan turned and walked towards the door with his firm steps.

Evan knew very well what his father meant, asking him to break up with Rose just because her last name didn’t carry her father’s name? What a rubbish excuse!

He will not talk to his Father about Rose anymore. He didn’t need his blessing anyway. Now, he will go upstairs to meet his grandpa.

His grandpa will like Rose so much. Because his grandpa is very wise. He never forced him to do something he didn’t like. So, all this time, he could set up his company safely because his grandfather protected him from his father’s wrath. If it weren’t for his grandfather, Starlight’s investment would have been ruined by his father’s ego.

So Starlight Investment’s successful ventures in Astington are partly because of Evan’s grandpa’s protection.

But now... It’s different. Evan was ready to face his father all on his own.

He has Dream Inc. If he combined Starlight Investment with Dream Inc, then Collins Group would not dare to bother his businesses.
