Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 847

Parker licked his teeth nonchalantly, “Bryce is just throwing a fit because his dirty laundry’s out in the open. Uncle, just tell him straight up, I’m your nephew. Anything else that’s legit, just block him and move on.”

“Rubbish!”

At his age, with his status and power, yet he had to deal with this kid’s antics.

Phineas hung up the phone, just stepping out of the CEO’s office, when Bryce’s angry voice erupted downstairs, laced with a thick, mocking laughter, “Mr. Wilson, you’ve been quite the Houdini since last night!

Nolan tried reaching Inko Group multiple times last night, calls unanswered.

This morning, you dodged us again.

And as soon as our new product press conference starts, Parker comes out claiming he’s your nephew?

What a perfectly laid trap between you and Ludwik!

Even if you stand behind Harmonia Country’s president as a financial tycoon, you’re still new to Emperor City. Playing these games with the Patrick Group and my Lutz Group, you really don’t see us as equals, do you?”

Phineas studied Bryce’s increasingly fierce face.

He used to see this young man as refined and upright, a perfect gentleman.

At some banquet, Phineas even found himself liking him.

Though Phineas never paid attention to Emperor City’s gossip, he heard Bryce had taken over his wife’s company.

Not exactly a saint.

Hands behind his back, eyes slightly narrowed, he smiled leisurely, “Mr. Lutz, given my position, why would I need to play you?”

“You’re still playing dumb!” Bryce, pushed to the edge, eyes ablaze, suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Phineas by the collar, beyond caring about repercussions, ready to burn all bridges, “You gave the Patrick Group and me second-rate technology!

You gave the best aerospace tech to Ludwik.

You hid this, one played me, the other acted innocent, until two months later when the product’s developed, Ludwik plans to crush my Lutz Group, doesn’t he?

Why help him?

Because Parker is your nephew… isn’t he?!”

Phineas raised an eyebrow, “You already know the answer, why ask?

Mr. Lutz, seems like you’re acting out in desperation.

Parker is indeed my nephew, I admit that now.

Don’t you get it? He wanted to make a scene, I indulged him in this minor cooperation.

Still confused? Let me spell it out for you, both the Patrick Group and the Lutz Group were out of the game two months ago by Inko Group.

Got it?”

“Phineas… you old bastard! Do you think you can just walk away from this mess?

I want you to go public now and admit, you purposely swapped out the top-notch technology, this was your conspiracy with Ludwik!”

Phineas, annoyed and dismissive, chuckled coldly, “Mr. Lutz, who told you Inko Group’s top technology necessarily had to be above all others, like Hausen Group’s tech?
