Chapter 403
Chapter 403
Will nearly burst into laughter when he saw Eric's arrogant demeanor.
At the same time, he was also inwardly criticizing Eric, This idiot! Is he still not grateful for being lucky enough to get spared by Mr. Nicholson last time? I don't know whether I should call him brave or foolish for still harboring a desire to get back at Mr. Nicholson?!
Even so, he didn't express his thoughts and only asked indifferently, "What if I choose neither?"
Will was inciting Eric on purpose.
He wanted Eric to continue disrespecting Kingsley in the hope that Kingsley would take the project worth 1.2 billion away from Sunrise Corporation and return it to Scarlett Heart Group in a fit of fury.
Still, he had to admit that he had always loathed Eric but couldn't do a thing against the moron. So, things would be great for Will if Kingsley could beat Eric up so hard that he ended up in the intensive care unit.
As expected, Eric was even more enraged after getting provoked by Will.
He pointed at Will at the nose and hotly retorted, "F*ck you! Don't you f*cking go too far! Do you think Scarlett Heart Group is currently still on par with Sunrise Corporation?! You guys are currently nothing but a bunch of trash! A nuisance!"
Although Will was aware that he was provoking Eric on purpose, he still couldn't help but feel a slight rush of anger coursing through his veins when he heard Eric insulting his family business in such a way.
"Eric! What f*cking reasons do you have to be so arrogant?! So what if Sunrise Corporation got its hands on the project under Coliree Group? That's just a project you plucked from Scarlett Heart Group!"
"Big deal!" Eric sneered. "Everybody has to start from somewhere! Either way, it still doesn't change the fact that the 1.2 billion dollar project is currently in the hands of Sunrise Corporation, and you can only remain green with envy as you watch us on the side."
Several slightly respectable young gentlemen stepped forward to dissuade Will and Eric after they saw that neither of them was preparing to give an inch and sensed the increasingly intense belligerence in the atmosphere.
"Why don't the two of you just calm down a little? Don't let this situation truly go out of control."
"That's right. We are at Mrs. Hewitt's birthday banquet. There are so many leaders and officials with us in this private dining room, so it's better not to cause a commotion."
The mention of Loretta's birthday banquet sobered Eric up slightly. That's right. I'm currently at Mrs. Hewitt's birthday banquet. Even if I am the heir of Sunrise Corporation, I still shouldn't act boorishly in front of so many provincial and city leaders.
When Eric was reminded of this, he took a deep breath and said to Will, "Fine. Since today is Mrs. Hewitt's birthday banquet, I won't stoop down to your level. I will get over this matter and spare you if you make him get on his knees and apologize to me. He should also learn from his betters and keep his mouth shut. It's not too difficult of a request, right?"
As he spoke, he rudely pointed at Kingsley. In his mind, Kingsley was nothing but Will's henchman, who relied on Will to make a living.
After all, rich kids like him and Will could easily have a bunch of these subordinates at their will. So, they usually didn't mind picking a few to be their scapegoats.
For that reason, Eric thought he had given Will enough respect by saying so and that Will would never refuse his proposal if he considered their overall interests.
Alas, to his surprise, Will simply snorted and reprimanded him, "How dare you, Eric! How dare you demand Mr. Nicholson to apologize to you?! You really f*cking have a death wish!"
"Mr. Nicholson?" Eric was startled for a moment. Then, he sneered, "I never heard of someone prominent with that title! So, don't you f*cking make a fool out of me!"
Just as he made that threat, he then turned to ask the people beside him, "Have you guys ever heard of any Mr. Nicholson in Solaris Province?" Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Everyone looked at each other, trying to recall if they had heard of such a figure. Shortly after, they collectively shook their heads.
"I've never heard of this person. I don't know about other cities, but there's no such figure in Diosna City."
"Same here. Could it be that he's a newly minted rookie in the business world?"
A few rich kids who always hung around Eric's word immediately took the opportunity to spew scornful
remarks at Kingsley.
"Ha! A newbie? Such a newly-minted and inexperienced rookie actually dares to challenge Mr. Yorkshire of Sunrise Corporation?!"
"Tch! Calling him a business rookie is overestimating him! From what I see, he's just a small business owner who relies upon Mr. Maslow to make ends meet. After all, even street vendors these days have the guts to address themselves as bosses. So, it's not weird that there's a small business owner who thinks he is some sort of a managing director of a big company. I wouldn't be surprised that he would have the gall to demand people to address him respectfully as Mr. Nicholson."
