Skyler sneered coldly and said, "That must be it. It's a case of power abuse in this place. One has money, and the other has power.
They cover for each other and deceive everyone in their collusion. There's not much good to be found in this corrupted town." Wilbur tossed his kitchen utensils aside and said, "Xavi, head back to rest when you guys are done eating. We'll get this issue resolved right now." "Be careful," said Xavi in a slightly worried tone.
Wilbur nodded and said, "Don't worry." After that, Wilbur and Skyler got up and drove toward the town's government department.
Soon, they arrived at the town hall and looked at the photos that hung from the wall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe person in charge of the town was Wyatt Malcolm. Wilbur told the front desk who he was, and the receptionist asked them to wait for a moment so that they could inform Mister Malcolm of their visit.
After sthad passed, the receptionist led them to a meeting room. Wyatt appeared with his big belly while holding a cup of tea.
"Are you two from Cape Consortium?" asked Wyatt smilingly.
Wilbur said nonchalantly, "Yes, I've been personally sent by Miss Yves, the president of Cape Consortium, to inquire about our investment." "First of all, on behalf of Twelven Town, we warmly welcyour investment. The project is already in progress. We will complete it as quickly as possible, so please rest assured," said Wyatt with a smile.
Wilbur scoffed coldly to himself and thought, "What a lovely formal statement." "Really? However, we've allocated fifty million dollars and only a dent has been dug in the ground. Don't you think you need to explain this?" asked Wilbur.
Wyatt coughed and said, "You don't understand. This is a major project, so it requires a lot of coordination with multiple parties.
Furthermore, the promised one hundred million dollars from your side hasn't been fully provided yet, which hinders our work. If you can get all the funds in place as soon as possible, the project can proceed immediately." "We allocated fifty million dollars for the initial phase of the project. There shouldn't be any issues with that, right?" asked Wilbur.
Wyatt said in a low voice, "That's not entirely accurate. If the funding isn't in place and you stop contributing halfway through, who will clean up the mess left behind? We need to make sure that it all goes smoothly." "We promised that we would disburse the funds in accordance with the progress of the project. I'm considering retrieving the fifty million dollars we've already allocated with your current attitude, let alone the subsequent payments," said Wilbur coldly.
Wyatt looked displeased. He sneered coldly and said, "It seems you don't quite understand the law. Donated items or funds cannot be withdrawn. We signed a contract. If you don't provide the subsequent funding, | might sue." Wilbur and Skyler were stumped. They did not expect Wyatt to be so shameless.
However, Wilbur did have slegal knowledge. 'While this idiot's technically right, they won't start the construction work after accepting the money. There's clearly something very wrong with this." Wilbur realized at that point that even if the project were to proceed in the end, it would end up as a shoddy construction job with Wyatt in charge. At that point, it would be better if nothing were done at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWilbur decided to leave the issue alone for the moment. Instead, he asked, "What about our men getting assaulted? What's going on with that?" "I'm not sure either. You know how it is. We have a rough crowd in these remote and challenging areas. It's givingquite a headache." Wilbur could not believe that Wyatt even managed to sound somewhat aggrieved.
Wilbur let out a long sigh after hearing his reply and said, "Wyatt Malcolm, you're far too greedy." "What do you mean by that?" Wyatt was instantly enraged.
Wilbur stood up and said, "You know what tricks you're playing with me. Just wait, you'll soon see the consequences of your actions." After that, he and Skyler left the town hall.
Wyatt looked displeased after they left. He was lost in thought for a long while before he made a phone call. "Felix Cohen, meetat garden number one." After saying that, he hung up. Wyatt instructed his driver to drive toward the mountains.
Over half an hour later, Wyatt arrived at a place nestled between the mountains.
It was a magnificent villa with a glamorous interior that was extremely secluded.
Felix, with his goatee, was waiting for him at the door. As soon as Wyatt arrived, he was welcomed in warmly. Wyatt instructed for his driver to wait in a different location in the meantime.
