Chapter 139 Cassius Asks Gustave to Go Home

Cyrus thought that he had heard wrong. When did Avery become so impulsive in

business?

Cyrus asked to confirm, “Sir, do you mean to directly terminate the biggest contract signed with the Walpole Group now? This is a unilateral violation of the contract. What kind of reason should we give to the Walpole Group and the public?”

Avery obviously could not calm down. Moreover, his plan to terminate the contract unilaterally was only out of his intention to give Gustave a reminder.

Such a big deal was related to the interests of the Gallard Group and Walpole Group, and it might not really end when it was negotiated later.

Avery said impatiently, “The technology and products of the Walpole Group are not completely in line with our requirements, so we intend to terminate the cooperation.

“There were many other reasons like this. Markus would settle the specific reason. The contract termination letter was sent directly first. I was waiting for the Walpole Group

to reply.”

Cyrus finally understood what Avery meant, but if they terminated the cooperation like this, the Walpole Group wouldn’t be the only one suffering a loss. At least it would be a

loss for both parties.

So Cyrus had to remind Avery, “Sir, this is not appropriate. Why don’t you think about it.

twice?

“The Gallard Group has always valued its reputation. With a precondition that the

partner is blameless, the case that the contract was suddenly terminated unilaterally

has never happened before. It is hard to estimate the impact on the Gallard Group’s future profit and reputation that the termination will bring. Besides…

Cyrus paused slightly and then he continued, “Moreover, I’m afraid that Mr. Gallard will not agree no matter what. Once it gets out, the board of directors and shareholders. will be involved. It may be troublesome.”

Avery was in a very bad mood. He directly turned around and left. “Cyrus, you think about too many things. Just let Markus do as I say.

“Gustave knows what I want. As for the influence of ending the cooperation with the

Gallard Group, that was a problem that the relevant departments of the Gallard Group should think of.”

Cyrus was in a dilemma. “Sir, this…”

Before Cyrus finished speaking, Avery had already left.

At the Walpole’s villa.

The doctor came out of the consulting room and told Gustave with a serious expression, “The situation is not promising. Ms. Garcia’s heart failure has been very serious. This is

obvious.

“My suggestion is, Mr. Walpole, you begin to prepare an artificial heart. If the situation continues to deteriorate, we can only prepare to implant artificial hearts at any time.”

He opened the medical record and handed it to Gustave. “As for Ms. Garcia’s psychological illness, I’m afraid it will be more dangerous than her heart disease.

“She suddenly suffered a great shock, causing her depression to relapse. Her current mood is very unstable. It is best to ensure that she has someone by her side to protect her at any time to prevent any accidents from happening when she loses control of her

emotions.”

Gustave took the medical record the doctor handed over and said, “Got it. Thank you for your hard work.”

Gustave turned around and looked at Darnell, who had just returned from the call. “Choose two more reliable servants to guard her.”

Darnell looked troubled. He had just hung up a call and was still holding the phone in his hand “Sir, something has happened.

“Avery had ended the one–sided collaboration with the Gallard Group. The termination. letter had been sent directly to Mr. Walpole. Mr. Walpole had called and said that he wanted you to return home immediately.”

Gustave flipped through the medical records in his hands. He clearly wasn’t worried at all. “I don’t have time to go back. Let Avery transfer enough sum of the liquidated damages. If he wants to end it, then so be it. If I lose ten percent of the benefits, he will

lose at least twenty percent.”

Darnell was a little hesitant. “But Mr. Walpole said that if you don’t go back, he will come directly now. Ms. Garcia’s current situation is still unstable. If Mr. Walpole comes to make trouble, I’m afraid…”

Gustave frowned and closed the medical record immediately. He threw it back into the hands of the doctor next to him and told the servant, “Keep an eye on her. If anything happens, your salary will be deducted.”

The servant immediately nodded repeatedly. There was nothing more terrible than deducting wages for working at Gustave’s place.

Gustave was in a bad mood. When he walked out, he strode over.

Darnell quickly followed Gustave behind and then drove to the Walpole’s old house.

Gustave was in a bad mood. Darnell drove all the way and did not dare to make

noise.

When they arrived, other than Cassius, Sandra and Abigail were also there.

Gustave walked in and looked at Sandra. He sneered, “Ms. Bullock, you’re quite think–skinned. I thought you would be too embarrassed to enter the door of our house.

for a year or so.”

Sandra coughed with a guilty conscience. “Mr. Walpole, Abigail’s matter is indeed a misunderstanding. There was a little trouble in the orphanage.

“I have explained it to your father. Your father said that Abigail is a clever and sensible child. She will be friends with you.”

Gustave looked at Abigail mockingly. He was not in the mood to talk about how thick their skin was. He directly sat down on the sofa opposite Cassius.

“Dad, if you have something to say, just say it. I’m busy. I have something else to do.”

Cassius asked in a deep voice, “Busy? Busy taking care of someone else’s wife, busy sending the Walpole Group to a dead end?”

Gustave leaned back and took the coffee the servant handed over. He took a sip.

unhurriedly.

“Dad, you are too serious. Avery unilaterally terminated the cooperation. That is his problem. It’s none of my business. If he wants to do this, it will be a disgrace to the Gallard Group.”

Cassius said coldly, “I don’t want to argue with you about these meaningless things. Immediately send that Darlene back to Avery. Don’t interfere in things that you should not get involved in.

“No matter who Aurora was back then, she was just a twelve–year–old girl. Does it

matter?

“I think Abigail is a very obedient child. The psychologist also said that her illness will soon get better. You are also at the age to start your family…”

Gustave interrupted Cassius and said impolitely, “Dad, what are you trying to say? You have good taste. Are you trying to persuade me to marry a fool?”

Abigail’s eyes immediately turned red and her face was full of grievance. How could Gustave say that to her?

Cassius was so angry that he threw the coffee cup on the table. “Watch your language. Abigail is here. What are you saying?”

Gustave’s expression also turned cold. “Dad, you can clearly hear what I’m saying. I really want to ask, what did you want to say after beating around the bush?

“Sandra and the Bullock family had ill intentions and placed fake goods beside me. Now, you even invited her over to entertain her. Are you sure you are not muddled?”

Cassius was so angry that he slammed his fist on the coffee table, causing a violent cough, “You bastard, bastard!

“Obedience and discipline are women’s virtues. The Walpole family chooses a © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

daughter–in–law for a reason. I think Abigail is a hundred times better than that fickle

Darlene.

Gustave immediately stood up. “Dad, you should think about these thoughts yourself. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Cassius‘ voice suddenly sank. “It’s not up to you. I will never watch my own son ruin his

own future like this.

“A man should value his career. You are just like your mother. You take feelings too seriously and can’t tell the point!”

Gustave turned around, anger in his eyes. “You are not qualified to judge my mother. It is you who are heartless and unworthy to be a husband.”

As soon as Gustave finished speaking, he sensed that something was wrong, and the heat in his body came abruptly.

Gustave looked at the cup of coffee on the coffee table, and it was only at this moment that he realized something.

Gustave looked over in disbelief and heard his father speak in a deep voice. “Abigail, help Mr. Walpole up and rest.”
