Chapter 1554: Chapter 1553: A Deep and Calculating Mind_1

After dropping Reid Nelson off at her home, Reid Nelson even took the initiative to embrace Peter Brown, and the two had reached an alliance.

As he walked home, Peter Brown didn’t take a taxi, but faced the night wind and pondered as he walked.

What happened today gave Peter Brown many reflections; in fact, in life, it’s not always necessary to resort to violence and killing. Sometimes, a conspiracy can be enough to kill a person. This is an alternative battlefield, one that he had previously overlooked. A Saint needs to control everything and knowledge in this area is needed.

Now, alone on the quiet streets, the presence of others gone, Peter Brown’s fiery passion had cooled.

Stories from the workplace and the strategies in various conspiracies and tricks also ran wild in Peter Brown’s mind.

Though his past lives had mostly involved fighting and killing, Peter Brown was not unfamiliar with plotting; it was just a matter of not having placed importance on it. Reflecting on Reid Nelson’s scenario, Peter Brown suddenly realized that he needed to sort out these issues properly.

As he went over the whole thing again in his mind, Peter Brown felt as if he had been caught in a trap from the beginning, and Reid Nelson’s seemingly natural behaviors were actually premeditated.

Firstly, Reid Nelson must have truly intended to pull him in on her side, knowing that she had no way out, being a migrant worker and a temporary one at that. In this company, she could only rely on Henry Ford.

Secondly, Reid Nelson also saw him as a young person, full of vigor, who could be easily swayed by a bit of flirtation. Pulling him to her side would not be a problem. This was evident from her initiative to hug him before leaving, which was meant to leave him with thoughts to ponder.

Remembering how Reid Nelson had thrown herself into his arms and hugged him, allowing him to feel her surging waves, Peter Brown had to admit the woman had a strong allure. Yet, she had underestimated him; women were not his weakness, and her little tactics wouldn’t have much effect on him.

The more he thought about it, the clearer it became to Peter Brown that this woman was not as simple as she appeared on the surface. He no longer believed she acted without someone backing her.

This time, Christian Greenhill and the others wanted to take down Henry Ford, but Reid Nelson’s plan was to use the opportunity to ascend the ranks. If she managed to upgrade her position, that would be a level up for her.

Of course, Reid Nelson was clear in her heart that the chances of being the top leader were almost none, so her sights were set on a deputy position. Even a deputy position without real authority was better than her current status, and it brought her closer to the upper level.

Now giving it serious thought, Peter Brown somewhat understood Reid Nelson’s calculations, which were to use this situation to topple several leaders. Only if they all fell would her familiarity with the subsidiary’s affairs be useful, and with a bit of effort, acquiring a deputy position was completely within reach.

But why on earth had the woman thought of having him steal from Vincent Clinton’s safe?

That was something Peter Brown found puzzling.

Another matter had also caught Peter Brown’s attention: today, Reid Nelson had intentionally involved him, resulting in him becoming an enemy of Vincent Clinton. In such a situation, it was as if he had been driven to a dead end from the start. Therefore, when Reid Nelson asked him to steal from Vincent Clinton’s safe, she must have thought there would be no problem, especially since it involved his own interests.

The more he thought about it, the clearer it became to Peter Brown, and he saw everything with clarity.

Steal from the safe?

Peter Brown shook his head, even if he could steal, he definitely wouldn’t do it; or rather, he absolutely could not let his leverage fall into Reid Nelson’s hands. If she got hold of evidence of his theft, he might end up becoming just one of her enforcers.

Such calculating schemes!

Peter found that not one person crouching in the mechanisms was easy to deal with; if he underestimated them, he might die without knowing how.

Now, Peter had made up his mind, alliances were fine, and sharing some information was okay, but stealing or anything of the sort, he would never do, or if he did, he wouldn’t let this woman know about it.

Sitting in the dormitory, as Peter reflected on it again, he still felt there were many unclear aspects to Reid Nelson’s plan to set up Vincent Clinton. Was it really only possible by getting the contents of Vincent’s safe?

Peter did not believe that Reid Nelson was that simple.

Gently tapping on the armrest of his chair, Peter thought hard again for a while; suddenly, an idea popped up.

If Vincent had a powerful backer, and if this backer was also someone that Reid Nelson could not afford to provoke, then even if the person who exposed the evidence was revealed, Reid probably could completely throw him under the bus, embellished with ambiguous ties and the youthful loyalty of young people. Even if she decided to throw him out, he might just let her do as she wished.

This woman had even calculated the youthful loyalty of a young man into her schemes.

If he didn’t come to her rescue today, it would mean he lacked loyalty and courage. But because he rushed in to help without a second thought, in her eyes, he perfectly met her standards for someone she could use.

When Peter thought about his own character, he had to admit that Reid Nelson had truly seen through him; there was indeed a sense of loyalty in him. If he hadn’t clarified these matters, as a small-time Farmer, receiving the favorable impression of such a beautiful woman and not helping her would have truly been impossible.

This woman had been watching him very closely in secret; what she hadn’t counted on was that his own knowledge and wisdom were also not lacking.

So complicated!

Peter also felt that the affairs of the secular world were becoming more interesting, and now he enjoyed this way of life even more. Only a woman as clever as Reid Nelson could play such games.

After thinking for quite a while, Peter suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed; why was he even racking his brains here? Today, Henry Ford would surely settle the fight, and there was no way the entire team could be taken down.

Now, having stepped out of Reid Nelson’s trap and reconsidering the situation, Peter was convinced that Henry Ford was definitely not a simple character. He had been worried because he didn’t know who had betrayed him, but now that he knew it was his mistress plotting against him, he believed that any loopholes would surely be plugged. Once the gaps were filled, Henry would definitely strike back powerfully. Even if he couldn’t remove Ivy Cooper, it was entirely possible for him to deal with Christian Greenhill and Vincent Clinton.

With a laugh, Peter went to sleep; now, it all hinged on tomorrow.

In this matter, Reid Nelson and her crew didn’t know that he had already made a move. As long as Henry held on, Peter believed not only would his position be secure, but he might even reap a greater share of the benefits.

Lying in bed and thinking over today’s events, Peter felt even more so that one needed to be extremely careful in government; a moment’s inattention could result in being sold out. From now on, he would have to be even more vigilant in this regard.
