Chapter 375: Hester Group Doom (4)
At Vale City.
After Old Hester met Marvin Sanders, he headed straight to the airport and flew back to Vale City.
As soon as he arrived at his house, he called his son and grandson. He wanted to ask his grandson—what did he do to anger the three business giants in this country!?
His trip to the capital was a complete waste. He couldn’t help his company to become stable from the pressure of the three corporate uniting to attack them. He couldn’t do anything either because Hester Group was like a pebble in their eyes.
"Father? Why did you call me?" Earl Hester came in with a sullen look. When he was busy with the chaos that occurred at the office, his father asked him to go home immediately. He refused several times, but his father insisted—his father said; there were important matters to discuss regarding the case they were facing now.
Earl Spencer was forced to abandon what he was doing and rush over here.
Old Hester remained silent.
He lifted his hand slightly, asking his son to sit down first.
Not long after, Archy Hester entered the room with light steps, but from the look on his face, it was clear he wasn’t in a good mood right now. After greeting his grandfather and father, he sat beside his grandfather.
"Grandpa, why did you ask me to come?" Archy asked impatiently. While he was still busy clearing his name on the internet, his grandfather asked him to come here.
Archy would guess that his grandfather called him because of this matter; his reputation these past two days was like entering downhill. Someone attacked him—slandered him.
Since his dirty rumors appeared, he had asked the hacker he used to use to erase all news about him. Still, strangely, the hacker could not do so, as if someone more powerful was behind this attack.
Which annoyed him so much. Until now, he didn’t know who had attacked him. And what’s worse is the gossip about him had plummeted the Hester Group’s stock value. Hester Group was hit hard—this matter clearly made his grandfather angry with him.
Archy Hester had absolutely no idea what was going on with the Hester Group—he was just an ordinary manager at the company. All this time, his attention was distracted by his problems.
Not hearing his grandfather answer, Archy asks again, "G-Grandpa!?" He turned to look at his grandpa. He was shocked. His grandpa stared at him sharply as if he wanted to kill him with his murderous gaze.
Why is this old man so angry that he looks like he wants to kill me?
"What were you doing in Vale city a few days ago?" Old Hester’s cold voice was enough to make Archy Hester freeze when he heard ’Vale city.’
He sent an assassin to kill Oliver, his half-brother, four days ago. But, until today, he had not heard about the result of the killer he hired. And strangely, there was no news about the incident on television or the internet.
What frightened him was that he couldn’t find Oliver’s whereabouts until today. Even when he sent someone to wait near his office and apartment, Oliver never appeared, as if he had vanished from this country.
Archy is sure no one will ever know he sent assassins to kill Oliver. The killer wouldn’t know his true identity—he faked his identity when he contacted them.
But, now... he wasn’t calm.
Why did his grandfather ask about that? How did he know he was doing something in Vale city?
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Archy tried to determine how much his grandfather knew about what he was doing there.
Old Hester was not in a rush to speak. He picked up the teacup on the table and slowly took a sip. After he put the cup back, he glanced at his grandson.
"Tell the truth, what the hell are you doing in Vale City four days ago?" His tone has never been this serious. "If you try to lie to me, I will freeze all your financial resources and then fire you from your current position!"
Earl Hester was surprised by his father’s attitude towards Archy. During this time, his father always pampered his son. No matter what mistake Archy made, his father never once scolded him. Even if Archy made a big mistake that would tarnish Hester’s name, his father would help Archy out of trouble.
But now his father is threatening Archy!? What happened? Why did this old man suddenly change!?
Archy Hester was terrified from shock. The look in his grandfather’s eyes seemed to be able to make him anxious and afraid.
"G-Grandpa, I... I visited Vale city to have fun with my friends." Archy is lying. He would never reveal that he sent someone to kill Oliver because his father would beat him to death if he had known.
"You don’t want to say!?" Old Hester’s cold eyes are not showing mercy to this ignorant brat. The grandson he was proud of, whom he cared about, dared to lie to him! He couldn’t tolerate it. "Well!"
Old Hester called his assistant and asked him to freeze all of Archy’s assets. He also asked to announce the dismissal of Archy from the Hester Group.
Instantly Archy’s body froze. His face turned deathly pale. He quickly knelt before his grandfather begging for forgiveness.
He couldn’t hide it anymore—this old man was really angry.
"G-Grandfather, I’m sorry. I know what I’m doing is over the line. But I never meant to kill him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson....." His voice trembles.
Archy knew his grandfather had a tender heart for him. This old man would surely forgive him—he only needed to plead and pretend to cry, and this old man’s heart would melt.
A mischievous smile framed Archy’s face as he stared at his grandfather’s feet.
"Kill someone? What are you doing, Archy Hester?" Earl Spencer, who had been silent now, asked. Confused by his son’s words. Kill? Who does he want to kill?
