Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 209

Hanson almost fainted upon hearing what Casper had suggested. Much to his relief, Sheryl shook her head. “No need. Since he cares so much about worldly reputations, let him live and experience the same degree of pain I suffered back then.”

Casper nodded in agreement whereas Hanson was no longer as tense. At least I can stay alive. However, the next line from Sheryl burst his bubble.

“Let your friend have a jolly good time with him and cure his constipation.”

Surprised, Casper looked at Jeremy, who was equally astonished. “Boss, are you serious? My seven- inch is not for stirring sh*t up.”

“Seven inches? Who are you kidding?” Casper scoffed, unwilling to believe him.

Feeling insulted, Jeremy started unbuckling his belt. “Girls, please close your eyes. Boss, stand still; I must prove myself to you.”

As soon as Hanson saw him gesturing to remove his pants, he fainted right away.

“See, he passed out!”

Jeremy had just been joking — he did not intend to do anything nasty to Hanson. However, the coward collapsed at the thought of it.

“Watch him,” Casper ordered before leaving with the Alder siblings.

Their hiding place was the new meeting spot of the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. Nobody would ever be able to find it because of its secluded location.

“Who would have thought Sawyer was such a jerk! I’ve misjudged him. He’s actually the same as that scum. I’m going to resign from Lingham Hotel.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Sharon felt so upset and disgusted when she discovered that she had been working under the culprit who gave her sister a hard time for the past two years.

“No, Sharon.” Sheryl tried to stop her.

“Why? Aren’t you furious? Sawyer is too much!” Sharon frowned and growled with gritted teeth.

“We can’t act rashly on this matter.” Sheryl turned to Casper and asked, “Tycoon Hotel is now in a conflict with Lingham Hotel, right?”

“Whoa, how did you become so smart? I can tell that you’ve done a lot of research while staying home these two years.”

Casper was determined not to be led by the woman. So, he stated, “Indeed, you don’t need to leave Lingham Hotel, Sharon. Resigning now will only bring you adverse effects.”

“Why?” Sharon was baffled.

“Your cooking skills are the most valuable asset of Lingham Hotel. He tried so hard to get you on board. Why would he simply allow you to leave?”

Seeing that she was so confused, Casper illustrated the big picture to her. Sharon sulked as the pieces formed in her head. “So, you’re saying that they will force me to stay?”

What do you think? Isn’t it obvious? If they could use despicable means to make the two girls their staff, they would do the same to keep them. Casper rolled his eyes.

Sheryl consoled her sister, “Don’t worry. Casper will help us resolve the problems. All you need to do is to pretend that nothing has happened and resume your role as the head chef at Lingham Hotel. How many people are aware of the showdown today?”

Sharon knitted her brows. “I applied for leave, but many people know about the showdown because the ingredients I used to make the Beef Wellington were from the hotel. I doubt I could hide it.”

“There’s no need to keep it a secret. Lingham Hotel has planted many spies in Tycoon. I’m afraid they already know your every move.”

Sharon grew nervous at that. “Really? Then, what should I do?”

“It’s okay. We can play along with Sawyer.”

Casper exchanged glances with Sheryl, who seemingly understood what he had in mind.

“Sharon, when you edit Hanson’s voice recording, remove all the parts where Sawyer’s name was mentioned. That will be our trump card. We don’t need to show our hand now.”

“Trump card? Why do I feel like we’re going for a battle?” Sharon blinked, looking gullible.

Sheryl stroked her sister’s head tenderly, explaining, “Just do as Casper says. It’s a trade war. Anyhow, I believe that victory is on our side.”

Sharon nodded obediently, though she could not help feeling apprehensive about the plan. “Lingham Group is a huge corporation with a net worth exceeding three billion. Although Mr. Simpson’s Tycoon is also great, it’s only worth tens of millions?”

“Their numbers are bigger, but it’s no big deal. Moreover, Lingham Hotel is only one of the companies within Lingham Group. They don’t have a high cash flow,” Casper proclaimed confidently.

In addition to the trump card, the Alder sisters are with me on the same boat. How will I lose?

“Sharon, when you’re back at the hotel, tell them that you’ve defeated Mr. Simpson in the third round. Remember to express how much you hated Mr. Simpson so that they won’t suspect anything. As the

head chef, you can snoop into many secrets of Lingham Hotel. Be vigilant and collate some useful information for us to use as strong pieces of evidence to bring Lingham Hotel down.”

Casper was impressed by Sheryl’s logical and detailed thought processes. It seems that a vengeful woman is intelligent yet cruel.

“Sure.”

“By the way, don’t put your trust in any of your friends or colleagues working at the hotel. They might be Hanson’s informants. One more thing, the place where we live now belongs to the Lingham family. When we burn bridges one day, maybe…”

Sheryl gazed at Casper while the latter nodded, signifying that it was not a problem at all.

“No worries, I’ll make the arrangements. Ms. Schneider, I’ll transfer one million to you later. Please find a place in the city for the Alder sisters. Send someone to pick them up immediately if there’s an emergency.”

Elena acknowledged his order. Feeling uneasy, Casper instructed Jeremy to allocate two reliable men to patrol around Sheryl’s house. They were to report right away if they sensed anything was odd.

“Thanks for looking into all these, Casper. How did you cross paths with Sawyer?” Sheryl was curious.

“It’s normal for a man like him to clash with others. Ours were about both private and work matters. All along, I’ll only mind my own business. However, if someone messes with me, I’ll surely take action.”

“Oh? Does the private matter concern another woman?” Sheryl cast him a look; her smile was skin- deep as she did so.

Casper felt his scalp prickle. Her intuition is so strong. I’m sure she’s been reading a lot of detective novels and watching palace scheming dramas for the past two years.
