Chapter 125: It’s Actually Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Lucas had already entered the Stardust Corporation office and was sitting in the CEO’s office on the top floor with Flynn Davis standing beside him cautiously.

“Mr. Gray, do you have any instructions for me today?” Davis asked respectfully.

Although Lucas was the chairman of the Stardust Corporation, he left it to Davis to handle most of the company affairs and rarely showed up at the office unless it was for some major matters.

Lucas said with a sullen expression, “I remember telling you before that I don’t want to see any business belonging to the Brooke family in Orange County. However, now I’ve heard that they’ve found some partners to gain a foothold in the county.”

As soon as he heard Lucas questioning about this matter, Davis’s heart sank, and a helpless and bitter smile appeared on his face. “Mr. Gray, I gave instructions for this matter, but the Stardust Corporation is not the only corporation in Orange County. Although everyone is showing us respect on account of the Huttons... the Stardust Corporation is not deep-rooted in Orange County, and there are many things that we can’t control even if we want to!”

Lucas fell silent.

Indeed, just as Davis said, the reason that the families in Orange County were scrambling to cooperate with the Stardust Corporation and sucking up to them was not necessarily because of the power held by the Stardust Corporation. But because they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of cooperating with the Stardust Corporation to forge closer ties with the Huttons.

After all, the Stardust Corporation had moved to Orange County not long ago. Its power alone was not enough to make everyone fearful.

After the news of the Stardust Corporation’s refusal of any cooperation with the Brookes spread, many businesses and enterprises declined to cooperate with the Brookes in order to show their support for the Stardust Corporation. However, there were countless businesses in Orange County, and there were definitely some that would agree to cooperate with the Brookes for the sake of the huge profits promised.

In addition, the Stardust Corporation had just been returned to Lucas from the Huttons not long ago, and many of the projects that had been operating well were all taken back by the Huttons, leaving Lucas’s Stardust Corporation much weaker than it was before. This was also the reason that many gradually began to be contemptuous toward it.

“It seems that we’re still too laid back. We have to speed up in our progress and reach a point where no one can underestimate us,” Lucas said with great determination as a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Moreover, it wouldn’t only be in Orange County. One day, he would visit the Huttons in Washington DC and make sure they returned everything they owed him and his mother!

Davis’s heart was burning with zeal and fervor as he answered loudly, “Yes, Mr. Gray!”

At this moment, an assistant knocked on the door and asked for some instructions outside the door. “Mr. Davis, two people claiming to be from the Brooke family in LA would like to see you regarding something important. Would you like to see them?”

When Davis heard that it was the Brooke family of LA, he immediately frowned. “No! Tell them to get lost immediately.”

Lucas had just been upset because of the Brookes, yet they were now here. If Lucas were to misunderstand that he had something to do with the Brookes, he would be in trouble.

But after hearing what they said, Lucas suddenly interjected, “No, tell them to come up.”

Soon, Declan and Aston arrived at the top floor of the Stardust Corporation and were brought to the chairman’s office.

Aston was quite surprised. As far as he knew, the spokesman of the Stardust Corporation was the general manager, Flynn Davis. And no one knew the exact identity of the chairman except for a few insiders of the company. He was extremely mysterious.

The assistant brought us directly to the chairman’s office. Does that mean we’re going to meet the mysterious chairman? He wondered.

All of a sudden, Aston felt extremely agitated and excited but also regretful and uneasy.

Under normal circumstances, Aston would be overjoyed to meet the person with the highest authority in the Stardust Corporation and get closer to him.

However, he was here today with Declan to apologize to the big shot Declan offended. At this moment, he actually ran into the chairman, making things awkward, and he reckoned that it would worsen his first impression of them.

Who would have a good feeling about an outsider who offended their subordinate?

At the thought of this, Aston glowered at Declan and put the blame on him.

The assistant knocked gently on the door and said respectfully, “Mr. Gray, Mr. Davis, the Brookes are here.”

“Let them in,” Davis said calmly.

The assistant pushed open the door and invited both Aston and Declan in.

As soon as they entered the chairman’s office, Aston noticed the two people at the desk in front of him. One of them was a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the side. He was none other than Flynn Davis, the general manager of the Stardust Corporation, whom Aston had met once.

The other man sitting on the large and spacious chair beside him looked extremely familiar. It was...

Aston was astonished. He stared at Lucas for a good few seconds before recognizing who he was!

He was incredibly shocked. Even though Aston had seen a lot of the world and had dealt with all sorts of people, giving him impeccable communication skills, he was so shocked that he was almost disoriented. He gaped and stared at Lucas, at a complete loss for words.

Aston wasn’t a fool, and he had been raised as an elite of the Brooke family, so he was quite knowledgeable. Seeing Davis standing at the side while Lucas was sitting, he knew that the chairman was none other than Lucas!

Lucas turned out to be the mysterious chairman of the Stardust Corporation, something Aston never expected!

Thinking about how he had gotten into several conflicts with Lucas before and even tried to plot against Cheyenne, Aston felt a cold chill down his spine, and he broke out in cold sweat.

As soon as Declan saw Lucas sitting at the desk, he immediately reached out and pointed at him. “Aston, I swear I only got into a minor conflict with this good-for-nothing just now. I didn’t offend any big shot!”

Smack!

Aston slapped Declan hard again and snapped, “Fool!”
