Toby found out from Allie that Cayden was having a business meeting at Pinnacle Hotel, so he dropped everything
to rush there.
Toby waited for a long time for the meeting to end. The moment it ended, Toby saw Cayden dressed in a suit, being
surrounded by a group of elites when they walked out.
Although the men around Cayden were all legendary figures, Cayden's cold and arrogant aura made him stand out
from the rest.
“Cayden,” Toby called out.
Cayden waved the group of elites away when he saw his uncle.
Instantly, the group left tactfully, and only Cayden and Toby were left in the hall.
“What's up, Uncle Toby?” Cayden asked.
“Have I wronged you, Cayden? Why are you trying to shut my company down? Cayden, could you show Musk Group
mercy? Do it for my sake.” In order to save his hard work over the years, Toby was willing to bow down to Cayden
and speak courteously.
In just a few days, Toby's initial haggard appearance made him look even older. My company is now on the verge of
crumbling down. I would do anything to save my company, even if that means I have to bow down to a younger
man like him. However, I still don't know why a mighty business entity like Trident Group would cause my company
trouble.
Upon hearing that, Cayden curled his lips into a smile. “Uncle Toby, you shouldn't have come to look for me today.
You should ask Dylan what has he done.”
If Dylan had backed down, signed the divorce agreement with Avery back then, and promised to not bother Avery
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtagain, Cayden would consider showing mercy to Musk Group. After all, they were family.
In fact, Cayden would've taken Musk Group down way earlier if not out of respect for Toby.
However, Dylan was too much, and he crossed Cayden's bottom line. That was why Cayden wanted to take Musk
Group down as soon as possible.
Toby nearly burst a vessel and vomited blood when he heard that everything was caused by Dylan. “Dylan? What
did that b*stard do this time around?”
Indeed, that rebellious son of his had never stopped making Toby worry about him.
With a cold expression, Cayden said, “Dylan ordered people to upload false posts on the internet, which seriously
damaged my reputation and Avery's. What's even more unforgivable is that he also involved Zach and Rory. The
kids are innocent, no? Uncle Toby, if you don't want Dylan to make mistakes again, you should teach him some
lessons. Otherwise, I don't mind disciplining him for you.”
Toby felt drained when he thought about what he had just heard from Cayden. So it's that b*stard's fault.
Toby was on the verge of collapsing, and he had to lean against the hotel's pillar to support himself. “Cayden, are
you targeting Musk Group because of Avery?”
Cayden nodded.
“How could you do this to me, Cayden? How could you side with an outsider to oppose me? I am your uncle.” Toby
was in disbelief.
Cayden was so talented and capable that even Toby was impressed. Cayden had always been a rational person. Is
he really going to ignore the bigger picture for the sake of a woman? Is he really going against my company for the
sake of that woman?
What surprised Toby more was the fact that he couldn't defeat a young man, albeit being involved in the business
world for decades himself. It has been almost thirty years since I founded the company. Still, Cayden managed to
defeat me in just a few days' time. How embarrassing is this?
“I'm giving you twenty-four hours to get Dylan to sign the divorce agreement with Avery, Uncle Toby. If you can do
that, your company lives. If you fail, don't blame me for showing no mercy.” With that, Cayden walked past Toby.
While trembling all over, Toby had no choice but to call Allie.
That day, Jeffrey was out playing chess with his friends, Lily had gone back to her mother's, and Kendrick was out
somewhere. Only Allie, Cayden, and a middle-aged maid were left in the huge Moore residence.
Allie was seen sitting on a bench with a long face.
She had a cup of coffee in front of her, and the elegant-looking Cayden was sitting opposite her, with a coffee table
in between them.
“Hi, Mom.” Cayden knew she had called him there to lecture him, so he purposely ignore her grim expression.
Infuriated, Allie roared, “Don't call me that. I didn't give birth to an unfilial son like you! Toby is your uncle! How
could you target his company?”
In a flat tone, Cayden answered, “Uncle Toby's business philosophy is outdated, and he often makes stupid
decisions. He's also too arrogant to listen to others' opinions. Consequently, Musk Group is in debt. Besides, their
company's account is a mess. Even if I don't have a go at his company, it's going to fail in a few years' time...”
“I don't care about all that! In any case, I'm not going to allow you to mess with your uncle's company!” Allie
roared.
Allie didn't fully comprehend the issues Cayden pointed out, but she was determined to protect her brother. Rather
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthan being protective, it was more like she had personal motives for doing so.
That was because she came from an ordinary family, and she never had backers. She had to rely on her
appearance and Bruce to force her way into high society. At the same time, she drove the Musk family's
development.
Upon getting into the upper echelon, she realized that all the noblewomen who married into wealthy families were
all from prominent backgrounds. Hence, they all had the support of their respective families. That was why all their
mother-in-laws accepted them with open arms.
With her help, Toby's company, Musk Group, did rather well. Needless to say, it was nothing compared to the
prominent families. Therefore, her ordinary background was also why Lily had always looked down on her.
If Cayden destroys Musk Group, not only will I have no one to rely on, but Lily will also make fun of me. At that
thought, Allie banged the table and instructed, “No matter what, I won't allow you to mess with Musk Group!”
She banged the table as hard as she could, but Cayden was unfazed. Seeing that, Allie was livid.
Right when Allie was about to go berserk, a sweet and familiar voice rang out. A girl was heard saying, “Hi, Mdm.
Musk! I've come to see you.”
Cayden's expression turned even more solemn when he heard the girl's voice.
On the other hand, Allie's eyes lit up, and she was on cloud nine. “You're here, Nickie! Come in!”
Nicole promptly did as instructed.
That day, she was wearing a fur jacket. She knew Allie liked women without makeup, so she deliberately wore a
light layer of makeup. Her makeup-applying skills were so good that only experts would notice that she had makeup
on. Even though she was wearing a thin layer of makeup, it magically showcased the amazing facial features she
had.
Allie was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law of her choice. Nicole is pretty and decent. Besides, she comes from
a prominent family.
