"Talon, did you hear what Grandpa said?" Norah stood up with a dark expression. "You tricked our family once with Ariya; wasn't that enough? Do you want to continue to sabotage her at this crucial moment? Sign the document immediately and leave! From now on, the Willis family has nothing to do with you!" Talon looked at the Willis family members, feeling no interest in this group of ants. Talon took the pen, and the Willis family hurried to print a new contract. Tony then smirked coldly, thinking that Talon was of no significance within the Willis family. How could this useless person who dared to insult him yesterday be so audacious? As the Willis family brought the contract and Talon was about to sign, he suddenly spoke, "Wait!" "Mr. Adams, is there anything else you need?" Lord Willis immediately put on a flattering smile. "If you want our Adams family to cooperate with the Willis family, it's not impossible. But because of what happened with my son yesterday, I was so angry at the kindergarten gate and had no way to vent. So, you need to make this brat bow down, lick my shoes, and apologize. Only then will I consider cooperating with the Willis family!" Hearing this, Talon turned and looked at him coldly, "It seems you didn't learn your lesson yesterday. I already gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." "Shut up!" Lord Willis straightened up, looking at Talon with contempt and sneering. "Bow and lick Mr. Adams' shoes to apologize! I don't know what happened at the kindergarten, but it's definitely your fault, Talon! As a vagrant, you are naturally a filthy waste; whatever you do is no surprise!" Talon suddenly laughed. Standing tall like a spear, he looked at Lord Willis coldly and said, "Today, I represent Ariya. Since she has been expelled from the Willis family, it means whatever Tony does to the Willis family has nothing to do with me. As for making me bow and lick shoes, I don't think you have the qualifications!" As Talon finished speaking, an aura erupted from him, enveloping everyone in a sense of imminent crisis. Norah, closest to him, seemed unable to stand under the immense pressure, her face full of panic. Was this the waste from five years ago? Why did he suddenly exude an irresistible aura? "You..." Lord Willis was also taken aback by him. This waste dared to speak like this? He clearly had no respect for the head of the Willis family. "Sir, something bad has happened!" Just as Lord Willis was about to get angry, a Willis family guard ran in from the entrance. "Jack from Skysoar Group has arrived; he just got out of the car and is heading to the meeting room!" "Jack? What's he doing here?" Lord Willis asked in a daze. "Of course, I'm here for the remaining three garment factories of the Willis family." An elderly man in formal attire walked in with an air of arrogance. "Oh? So it's the head of the Gray family. I'm Tony from the Adams family." Tony was slightly surprised to see Jack. Although they were both from prominent families in Philadelphia, Jack had joined Skysoar Group ten days ago, which elevated his status significantly. "Adams family? A bunch of nobodies. Do you even have the right to speak to Skysoar Group's representative in Philadelphia?” Jack asked coldly, looking at Tony with disdain. With Talon present, he naturally aimed to humiliate the Adams family. "You!" Tony was stunned. 'Why are you so arrogant? Just because you got lucky and joined Skysoar Group?' "What? Got a problem with that" Jack raised his nose. "Not just you, even if your father came here, if I told him to stand, he wouldn't dare sit!" "Yes, yes, Mr. Gray, I shouldn't have spoken. Please forgive me." Tony quickly bowed and stepped aside, not daring to say anything more. Although he felt humiliated, he had to endure it for the sake of the project in the south of the city. But he harbored a grudge against Jack. 'If Skysoar Group ever abandons the Gray family, I will definitely destroy you, Jack!' Jack leisurely took out a few contracts and said blandly, "As I mentioned earlier, Skysoar Group has decided to acquire the remaining three garment factories of the Willis family. Look over the contract, and if there are no issues, please sign it." Skysoar Group was really going to acquire them; Talon might not have been lying. Norah looked at Talon in shock. She was the only one who noticed that when Jack entered, everyone in the Willis family stood up, but Talon remained seated, as if Jack was not worth his standing up. Could this Talon be someone from Skysoar Group? And it seemed...he might have a higher status than Jack?! Lord Willis did not notice this detail. After a moment of surprise, his eyes filled with joy as he trembled. "Good! Originally, the Adams family wanted to acquire them, but since Skysoar Group is interested, we will prioritize you. Yet, about the price…" "Price?" Jack sneered and said blandly. "Before I came here, our chairman instructed me to slightly raise the price to 15 million. But now…" Jack glanced at Talon and, seeing his slight nod, continued. "Skysoar Group will offer at most half that price, which is 7.5 million!" "What?" Lord Willis was dumbfounded. 7.5 million? Even if the three garment factories were in poor condition, they were worth more than that. Especially the factory in the north of the city, where the land alone could sell for 7 million in good seasons. Skysoar Group was clearly ripping them off. It was like the Willis family was giving them a buy-two-get-one-free deal. "Can the price be slightly increased?" Lord Willis asked tentatively. "Increased? Lord Willis, you better think carefully. If Skysoar Group doesn't want your factories, I would like to see who else in Philadelphia dares to take them." Jack pointed at Tony. "Him? Would he dare?" "What?" Tony hadn't expected Jack to call him out. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "No, I wouldn't dare! I hereby announce that the Adams family is terminating its cooperation with the Willis family. Can I leave now?" Jack sneered, and seeing this, Tony picked up his briefcase and slinked away. "So, Lord Willis, sign this contract or not?" Jack signed his name on the contract and flung it out. "I'm very busy. I don't have time to wait for you!"
