Chapter 21 Will tragedy happen?
Not until this moment did Henry finally understand why Camel brought the contract and immediately sued them for breach of the contract.
No one ever thought there would be a clause that Tracy was assigned as the person in charge.
"Mr. Carter, please let me talk to Camel. I got it wrong, but if he can let us off, we will do anything he wants. He likes Tracy, doesn't he? I promise Tracy will marry him."
After pausing for a second, Henry suddenly strode towards and pulled William's arm, agitated.
"Shut up!"
William was freaked out for he didn't believe Henry would say something like that, and scolded indignantly, "If you want to screw up, just go ahead, but don't fucking get me into trouble. Even if Camel is here, he will do the same as I did."
William knew clearly Camel was so mean to Perry Clan because of Baron.
After William finished his words, Henry, eyes popping out, said bitterly, "Do you mean Owen Clan also fancied Tracy?"
"Blimey, I have talked enough rubbish. Now let's get down to business."
William dared not to disclose more details, clearing his throat, and spoke seriously, "Brone Group suffered a great loss due to your breach of the contract. You, of course, should bear a huge compensation. Now I have a compensation solution for you, but I don't know if you are willing to accept it."
"Go ahead, please."
Once hearing the compensation, everyone of Perry Clan was startled.
"One company had interest in acquisition of Samho Group, and asked Camel for help. As everyone knows, Perry Clan would already go bankrupt if Brone Group hammered the market of Samho Group. But now, if you agree to sell Samho Group, we will stop suing Perry Clan," William said calmly.
"Are you serious that selling Samho Group can offset the compensation?" Henry said quickly, with his eyes beaming.
As the contract stipulated, Perry Clan had to compensate one billion dollars to Brone Group. Perry Clan couldn't afford it even if they sold everything they had. And Samho Group's market value was not higher than one hundred million.
"Of course, I wasn't telling lies."
William said, scorning, "If it was not for the sake of the person behind Camel, how could it be possible that Perry Clan would just have to sell Samho Group for the compensation?"
"Agree! We are happy to follow your proposal," Henry spoke, in a loud and delighting voice.
Henry thought they had to compensate the breach as stipulated in the contract, but now they could save Perry Clan from bankrupt in spite of losing Samho Group.
And moreover, Samho Group was taken from Tracy. So, Perry Clan wouldn't be hurtful even if they lost it.
Henry feared Brone Group pulled back the proposal, so he instantly called their lawyer to settle down the acquisition.
On the other side, Baron had already sent Tracy home. Tracy fell asleep in Baron's arm before long.
"What happened to Tracy?"
Yuri asked Baron in a panic. Baron was just taking Tracy away before Yuri arrived at Perry Clan's house.
"She was just fatigued, and fell asleep," Baron said.
Getting Tracy on the bed, looking into Yuri's eyes, Baron said, "Take care of her."
And then, Baron turned and left.
At this moment, Yuri had an illusion that Baron seemed not what he used to be.
Seeing off Baron, the moment he disappeared, Yuri blurted out, "Brother-in-law."
Hearing the voice behind, Baron quivered and paused, and another voice sounded, "Promise me. Don't get Tracy hurt again. I trust you can protect her.” "I promise."
Baron said in a firm intonation, and continued to move on.
Looking Baron gradually disappearing in the rain, Yuri felt distressed.
She didn't know where Baron was going, but she felt that next time when she met Baron, Baron would be a totally different person.
At the penthouse, Brone Group.
"Mr. Chairman, I just heard that the acquisition of Samho Group was completed," Camel said softly.
Baron wasn't surprised and asked, "Where can I buy the best diamond ring in Cona."
"At eight o'clock tonight, there will be an auction of rare jewelries collections at 9Out Club. The best and the last auction is a diamond ring, called The Pink Star. Most women from rich and noble families will go for it tonight," Camel said promptly.
"Well, you come with me tonight," Baron said.
Camel nodded, eyes gleaming with joy. He thought he was trusted as Baron would take him to the auction.
At nearly eight o'clock, a black Maybach slowly stopped at the door of 9Out Club, the top-level entertainment club in Cona.
The parking lot was full of luxury cars. Some of them were worth over millions dollars, and some were worth over ten million dollars. Few Benz and BMW worth less than a million dollars were seen there. "Mr. Owen, good evening. Welcome to 9Out Club." A middle-age man trotted over immediately and said respectfully as Baron got off the car.
"Who are you?" Baron said, frowning.
The middle-aged man said, with embarrassment, "Mr. Owen, I am Edward of Lewis Clan. We met before at the airport with Steward."
He was the richest man in Cona. Baron couldn't remember him, for he didn't even take a look at him the first day he came back."
Camel spoke timely to ease the embarrassment, "Chairman, the 9Out Club is Lewis Clan's property. Edward can help us with the auction tonight."
Edward said, with an appreciative look at Camel, "Mr. Owen, I will lead you in through the blank door. It is a secret path."
Edward directly ushered Baron into a VIP room, with a throughout view on the auction hall, and a huge screen showing high resolution pictures of all auction items.
"Mr. Owen, please have a look. If you are interested in any item of them, just let me know." Edward said flatteringly.
Baron sneered, "Do you think I am short of money?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Edward was frightened, wiping sweat on his forehead.
Camel stood by restlessly. Baron was so mighty that Camel felt really stressed to be with him.
"There is nothing you can help now. Leave us alone." Baron asked Edward to leave.
Baron surely didn't show any courtesy to Edward not because he was offended by Edward but because Edward had a relationship with Owen Clan.
With this secret VIP room, Baron's auction went very smoothly. If there was anyone bid on the item he was interested in, he would bide it at a double price, making no one dare to follow any item Baron bid for. What happened in the auction that night had spread the whole Cona very soon, which arose many people to guess who he was to buy so many rare jewelries collections within just one night.
"I want to hold a banquet in three days. Everything will be prepared with the highest standard. We'll be inviting all noble families in Cona, with invitation letters decorated with pure golden silk. But you are not allowed to invite in the name of Brone Group, and my name neither."
Baron delivered the order to Camel, highlighting one thing, shooting a sharp glance at Camel, "Don't forget to invite Perry Clan."
"Yes, Mr. Chairman," Camel nodded quickly.
In the meeting room of Perry Clan.
Sitting in the master seat, looking around, Henry spoke sternly, "After the breach issue, no company was willing to cooperate with us. Perry Clan is falling down. If we want to recover, we have to find a way out. What solutions do you guys have to bring our family back to glory again?"
"Granddad, you know what was going on at 9Out Club's auction last night, don't you?" Phillip suddenly said, in a pleasant voice.
Henry nodded, "A man spent billions of dollars within just one night to buy most of auction collections, and paid twice the prices of others. It has been widely spreading. I had heard it, of course." "Granddad, a generous man like him must be very powerful and rich. I heard that even Edward showed great respects to him. If our family can get backed by him, we will definitely go through the crisis." Phillip said, with a confident look.
With a sharp look, Henry said at once, "Yeah. Just do as you said. Figure out a way to know his name and make a contact with him by all means."
"Granddad, please rest assured. I have been under investigation, and have a clue already. As the security at the Club told me, a young man went there, in a low key, and Edward accepted him in person. When I find out his name, I will go contact him immediately."
"Ok. Once you establish a relationship with him, our family will be getting better very soon." Henry said with satisfaction.
At this moment, an invitation letter decorated with golden silk was handed over to Perry Clan.
"Granddad, the golden silk on the letter is made of pure gold!" Phillip said surprisingly after checking it.
"What? A pure golden silks?" Every other member in the family popped their eyes out.
Henry hurried over, took a closer look at the golden silk, and laughed out loud instantly, "The one who used pure gold to decorate the invitation letter must be rich and powerful. He even invites us. I guess it should be Brone Group. God bless us now!"
"Only the pure golden silk decorated on the letter is worth over thousands of dollars. If Lewis Clan invites us, they wouldn't be so generous. In my opinion, the one who sent this invitation letter to us must be the mystery man at the auction last night. Granddad, our clan is gonna be prosperous again!" Phillip spoke in excitement.
"Perry Clan is gonna revive!"
Everyone of Perry Clan was beaming with pleasure. The situation of Perry Clan had become worse and worse since Brone Group canceled their partnership, and everyone in the family was in fear. Now, they saw the hope of rejuvenation.
At the same time, most of the noble families had received the invitation letter, and all of them were of power and wealth. But to their surprises, the falling family, Perry Clan, also received the invitation. Those who canceled their cooperation unilaterally once knew Perry Clan was also on the list of banquet guests. They instantly sent cooperation contract to Perry Clan. This made Henry delighted. Three days passed swiftly.
Masters of most noble families in Cona, with their kinship families, was heading to the Starry Garden hotel, the top luxury hotel in Cona.
"Granddad, I believe, after today, no one in Cona would dare to look down upon our family," Phillip said excitedly.
Henry laughed out loud. Apparently, he was cheerful. He stepped forward, fixed the collar of Phillip, and said happily, "Let's go."
The lineup of Perry Clan, under leadership of Henry, also arrived at the Starry Garden hotel.☐☐☐☐
