Chapter 90 This Tea Is Good

Chapter 90 This Tea Is Good

There was a commotion at the door, and Eric walked in, looking disheveled. He dropped a meeting report on Louis' desk.

"This is the meeting content. Check it."

Louis flipped through it a few times and put it down, neither praising nor criticizing.

"Aren't you going to praise me? I took these notes seriously."

"The lettering is too crude. I can not read it."

"Forget it. Don't ask me to do this kind of thing again. If you do, I'll bring a gun and shoot the meeting host. Listening to those meetings is as annoying as listening to the scripture recitation, giving me a headache."

Eric pulled out a chair and sat down. "By the way, what's going on with Genesis Enterprises? They seem quite powerful."

"What have you heard?" Louis looked at Eric with deep eyes.

"Don't you know? I heard it from people from a local gang. They've threatened to kill your family if you don't sign a contract with them this time. You better handle this matter properly. I don't know if it included me when they said those words." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Kill my family?" Louis slowly uttered these words with a sneer on his face.

"People from Genesis Enterprises dare to make such statements publicly." Sam clenched his fist, and his face turned serious.

"I heard it when I was drinking in a bar. Rumor has it that the backer behind Genesis Enterprises is very powerful. They've been in control of the underground in Epearn and are known for their ruthlessness."

As Eric spoke, he became more serious. He had been in the business world for several years and was observant and cautious. He knew that the person behind Genesis Enterprises must be quite capable.

"They pretend to be polite and invite us for a meeting, but secretly threaten to destroy us. Mr. Herbart, we should not meet them, should we? Let's show them our power and teach them a lesson," Sam suggested.

Louis nonchalantly tapped his knee. "Hmph! We should meet them."

Eric gave Louis a thumbs-up and stroked his chin with a smile on his face. "You deserve to be my brother. You have been fearless since you were a child."

Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap, and Eric remembered seeing Blanche standing in the rain when he arrived.

"By the way, I just saw Blanche standing in the pouring rain, completely drenched. I told her to come inside, but she refused. What happened?"

When it came to Blanche, Louis lit a cigarette, took a puff, and stared at the ceiling with a cold and stern expression, blowing out smoke.

Louis refused to speak, so Eric glanced at Sam, who lowered his head slightly.

"Mrs. Herbart and Blanche had a disagreement, and Blanche was being punished."

"Punishing Blanche by making her stand in such heavy rain? Mrs. Herbart is indeed heartless. Will Blanche's frail body be able to endure it? She might end up having a life-threatening risk."

Eric was surprised and angry. He felt that this was going too far.

Sam remained silent. Although he wanted to say something, he knew it was best not to meddle in the affairs of the president and his wife.

"So what's a big deal even if she has a life-threatening risk? I have never seen such a stubborn woman." Louis's face was cold, and he sneered.

Hearing this, Eric shivered. This was odd. Suddenly, he smiled mischievously.

"I think it's not Mrs. Herbart's punishment for Blanche, but rather you purposely making things difficult for her. You just said you've never seen such a stubborn person. I guess Blanche must have said something unpleasant to anger you."

Louis indifferently urged Eric to leave. "You can go now. My affairs don't need your concern."

"Hah! You can't just drive me away like that. Let me analyze it for you. As a man, you shouldn't be angry with Blanche. She just graduated from school and lacks experience in dealing with people. She definitely doesn't know how to choose her words. As her husband, you should be more considerate."

"She just graduated from college and entered the society?"

Sam nodded on the side. "That's right, Mr. Herbart. Mrs. Herbart graduated this year and is a recent college graduate."

Upon hearing that, Louis was stunned. He had never thought that Blanche had just graduated.

"Louis, let me tell you something. Girls like Blanche at this age are full of contradictions. Not only are they inexperienced in socializing, but they also have bad tempers. Unlike us, who have been through the various tricks and games of the business world and know what to say and what not to say. As her husband, instead of getting angry when Blanche says something wrong, you should teach her how to speak and how to interact with people so that she doesn't blurt out offensive words so easily."

Louis frowned. In the end, it was all his fault. He had failed in his duty to teach Blanche how to deal with people and watch her language.

These words sounded somewhat awkward.

Louis put out the cigarette and took a sip of his tea. After hearing those words, he thought the tea didn't seem so bad anymore.
