In such a short period of time, I had refused the same person three times in a row. Everyone had to think that I was deliberately picking on him.
Sean's face turned red. He looked more furious than ever. He let go of the cutlery in his hand, and the knife and fork clunked loudly against the plate. "You took over Granger Group at this time. I thought you were different from Mr. Roberts."
Indeed, to some extent, Hendrix and I were trying to prevent Granger Group from falling into the hands of foreign capital. Previously, when Irvin was busy between Mesville and Jarold City, there was no leader in the company. Although the government had put a lot of pressure to stop GW Group, many shareholders had already expressed their willingness to accept the acquisition from GW Group for their own interest. If I supported Hendrix's purchase, I could have persuaded the shareholders on behalf of Roberts Group. However, I chose to represent Irvin. Obviously, I attached more importance to the overall interest of Granger Group. GW Group must have thought that I wanted to get two billion dollars for the company.
Sean and I both knew the deal, so I didn't want to beat around the bush. "You know more than I do that despite so many accidents happening in Granger Group in such a short period of time, Irvin had refused your purchase request before. I'm just following his orders at this moment. I thought you wouldn't be so surprised."
Sean's expression changed dramatically, but he soon returned to normal. He leaned back on the chair and said, "I don't understand what you're trying to tell me, Mrs. Roberts."
He still wanted to act innocent now? Well, it's a pity that the facts were too obvious. The disappearance of Shirley and Dannie was set up to stir turmoil inside Irvin, which benefited the GW Group the most.
