Chapter 329

"What 's so funny?" Ben was confused.

Even though Joaquin's tone was calm, Ben could hear the glaring pride when he drawled, "Nothing much. I'm just thinking about how Kathy and I have… chemistry."

Ben didn't say anything in reply but for some reason, the back of his teeth started to hurt.

It took a few seconds before the corners of his mouth twitched and he remarked, "Joaquin Levisay, is it just me or have you become even more of a sleazeball after you got married?"

Are all married people like him? Ben couldn't make sense of it.

Joaquin's eyebrows shot up when he heard that. "What did you say?" he questioned.

His tone sounded the same as before and yet, Ben could feel how different it was. As such, he immediately complimented Joaquin with a smile, "I said I'm envious of how lovey-dovey you and Katherine are."

Feeling pleased, Joaquin slowly began, "Matix is the company that the Moran Corporation is jointly undertaking projects with abroad."

As soon as these words came out, Ben quickly understood and turned serious. "You mean Katherine is planning to take action against this company?"

"Mhm." Joaquin nodded and continued, "It's not just her. I want in as well."

It was only then that Ben understood everything that was going on. "Are you planning to help Katherine destroy the multinational project? Are you going to bring the Moran Family down?"

"Not really," Joaquin responded smoothly. "The Moran Family has their roots planted deep. They won't be easy to deal with. It will only be a big blow to their spirit if the project fails. We won't go as far as to completely destroy them."

Ben laughed. "Pfft! I didn't think you'd be merciful, Joaquin. I'm sure it's not a big deal for you to ruin the Moran Family."

The corners of Joaquin's lips lifted as he drawled, "Sure, but it's no fun to send them crashing down just like that."

He's trying to play a game of cat and mouse, isn't he? What a terrible hobby! Ben thought to himself.

"Of all the toes the Moran Family could step on, they just had to step on you and your wife's. They must have thought you were pushovers. Well, surprise, surprise! I'd like to mourn for the Moran Corporation in advance."

He turned solemn after joking around for a bit. "Alright, I got it. I will be assisting behind the scenes. By the time the project is ruined, you can decide what you want to do next."

"Okay." Joaquin gave a few other simple instructions on what he wanted Ben to do before they ended the call.

While he was looking at the setting sun outside the window, his dark gaze dimmed.
