Chapter 34 - Chris
Chapter 34 Chris
In Cole’s opinion, if Flint really wanted to find him, he would probably ask his sister Jane and come straight to his neighborhood.
Thinking of this, Cole frowned slightly.
Since they are still looking for me, why was it Flint Smith who called?
Where is Jane?
Although he was a little confused, Cole could not be bothered to think about this. He threw it to the back of his mind.
Then, he used his soup pot to cook up a hangover soup.
He planned to give it to Cara.
***
Cole left his neighborhood and rushed to deliver the food.
At the same time, a man entered the Williams Corporation.
He walked straight to the front desk and took off his sunglasses. Then, he looked at the person at the front desk and expressionlessly said, “I’m Chris Hayes from the Hayes family. I’ve already made an appointment with Chairman Williams yesterday.
“However, I think you guys know who I am, right?”
Chris looked at everyone. When everyone heard the name Chris Hayes and saw that face, their expression changed. “Okay, let’s call President Williams now.”
As the receptionist of a large corporation, they had a list of people they had to know. Chris was on this list.
This was because the Hayes family behind Chris was the same as the Williams family. The Hayes family was ranked as one of the six major families in Sky City and was very powerful.
There was also something else everyone knew. The Hayes family was Trent Wilson’s strong supporter.
The moment Trent Wilson had become known, the head of the Hayes family had already placed his bets on him.
The Williams and the Hayes had a good relationship.
The reason was that Trent Wilson was interested in Cara. The Hayes naturally would not stand against the Williams. However, although Chris Hayes was the eldest son of the Hayes family, his status was far inferior to that of the second son, Steve Hayes.
Now that they had seen Chris visiting, the people at the front desk naturally did not dare to delay and called the office.
“President Williams, Chris Hayes of the Hayes family said that he has an appointment with
you.”
The receptionist carefully mentioned that.
Chris stood in front of the door without any change.
“Mr. Hayes, President Williams said that you can go up.”
“Okay.”
Chris walked straight to the elevator.
***
In the office.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Cara calmly said.
Chris pushed the door open and entered the room.
The door closed behind him.
Cara neither looked at Chris nor put down the pen in her hand. She only said, “Sit.”
Seeing Cara’s attitude, Chris sneered. “Cara Williams, you are bold.”
“If you don’t respect your elders, I can get someone to chase you out.”
Cara coldly looked at Chris. She was Cara Williams, the head of the Williams family-one of the six major families. It was not something Chris could compare to.
Chris’s expression immediately darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Williams.”
“Call me Auntie. I’m from the same generation as your father.”
Cara refused to budge.
Since she was called the head, it was impossible for her to lower her seniority.
The head of the Williams family is of the same generation as you?
Chris laughed in anger. “Cara, are you shameless?”
He was thirty-two years old.
Only three years younger than Cara!
In such a situation, she wanted him to call her auntie?
Why was he the younger generation for no reason?
“Uncle Hugh, send the guest out.” Cara calmly instructed.
From outside the door, Hugh Williams walked in, his body surging with an extremely powerful aura.
When Chris saw this, his face darkened like the bottom of a pot. However, the situation was stronger than him, so he could only turn to Cara. “Auntie Williams.”
“Sit.”
Cara put down her pen and looked up at Chris.
Chris took a deep breath and swallowed the humiliation in his chest as he sat opposite Cara.
Seeing this, Hugh closed the door.
“Speak.”
Cara looked at Chris.
Chris stared at her. “Cara, don’t you think you are letting Trent down?
“If I hadn’t returned in time, would you have married that unknown person already?”
He had just landed in Sky City the previous day and heard that Cara had released a piece of news a few days ago that she wanted to marry someone!
He had thought that this was fake news.
However, after confirmation, he realized something was wrong.
If Cara really married someone whose name was unknown until now, what would happen to Trent Wilson?
When he returned and saw that Cara had already married someone, wouldn’t he be furious?
If Trent Wilson was angry, he would vent his anger on the person beside him.
At that time, the Hayes would be the first sacrifice to Trent Wilson’s anger.
That was why Chris had to rush to the Williams Corporation to take responsibility. Only then could he give Trent Wilson an explanation.
Cara stared at Chris. “Are you mistaken about something?
“I have nothing to do with Trent Wilson. What’s there to be sorry about?”
This made Chris furious.
“Cara Williams, don’t be shameless.
“When your father died, the Williams had no one to rely on. With just you alone, what makes you think you have the right to keep a foothold in Sky City? Didn’t you have to rely on the support of the Hayes and Trent?”
Chris roared and stood up, glaring at Cara.
Hearing Chris’s words, Cara sneered.
“Support?”
She coldly continued, “Do you really think I didn’t know anything about the Yeagers last
year?”
Chris’s expression immediately turned ugly.
The Yeagers had cheated the Williams, and the Hayes was behind this.
If not for the Hayes, who had been cooperating with the Williams, revealing the news, how could the Yeagers successfully intercept that project?
“But…”
Chris’s confidence immediately took a hit. “But in these ten years, the Hayes family has helped you so much. Trent has helped you so much. Do you take it all as fake?” “How funny!”
The corners of Cara’s lips curled up into a cold smile. “What did the Hayes family help me with? The business world is about benefits. If I hadn’t given you a few pieces of that big cake and let you eat until your brains were full, do you think only those people of yours with ugly table manners would have continued to obediently cooperate with our Williams Corporation?”
Chris’s expression turned even uglier.
Cara’s description was too harsh. But he had to admit it was the truth.
Cara had made the cake bigger, and the Hayes who worked with the Williams had eaten even more portions of it. Cara didn’t stop. “As for Trent Wilson… “I can’t see how he can help my Williams Corporation.”
She sneered at Chris. “Did he stop you guys last year, or did he speak up for me when you guys were fighting for the cake my father left behind?”
Chris stared at Cara but could not say a word.
He had nothing to say. When Cara’s father had passed away, other than two of the six families—who did not need to rely on business to maintain their family power—the rest of the three families had fought to divide the Williams Corporation’s cake.
At that time, Trent Wilson had not chosen to stand on Cara’s side and fight with her.
Instead, he had secretly gone overseas to face the enemy outside the country.
Truthfully, everyone had a balance in their hearts.
“But…” Chris still wanted to deny it. “After Trent achieved all that in his career, he had always found a way to give the Williams Corporation—” Cara interrupted Chris and sneered, her eyes filled with disdain. “Chris, do you think I don’t know what happened last year?”
Chris stopped talking.
“It’s fine if the Hayes family is Trent Wilson’s lackey.”
Cara calmly continued, “But don’t expect to drag me down. I’m not interested in eating on my knees.”
