Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 455

Chapter 448: Emotionally Challenged

Colin returned to his office, all shaken and enraged.

"Mr. Hartz, they have threatened to kill you to your face—what do we do now?" the assistant asked. "The Riverdales are the most powerful, and fighting with them means losing everything."

Colin sat quietly for a while before saying, "They are not the most powerful. There is someone else. We just need to give them a reason to go against the Riverdales."

The assistant thought for a moment and said, "But they always stay away from such conflicts between two parties. Their aim is only to serve their own interests, and they hold all the power to control the mafia world and kill whoever challenges them. They want to dominate the mafia world but avoid any conflicts that don’t concern them."

"That’s why I said we need to offer them something of interest," Colin replied. "If we gain their support, no one in the entire world would dare challenge us—let alone the Riverdales. Riverdale wouldn’t be dominating the mafia world if they had decided to show their authority. Now’s the chance for them to do what they’ve been holding back on."

"They’re known to be the most cruel. What if they don’t like our proposal and we end up making them our enemy?" the assistant asked. "In the past, some mafia organizations and businessmen tried that, and their failure led to their own doom. Those organizations were wiped out, and those businessmen lost everything."

"I’m doomed anyway at the hands of the Riverdales. Even if I have to die, I’ll die while leaving another enemy for Riverdale, and they’ll regret going against me," Colin said with determination. "Send them a message—that I want to talk to their boss."

"Their boss never talks to anyone," the assistant said. "But I’ll try to reach them."

"He won’t be able to reject our offer," Colin said with confidence.

Aaron didn’t return to the penthouse the entire day and worked from the NextEra office. Justin couldn’t wait and came to the office to see him in the evening.

"Seems like you’re getting more comfortable in my office?" Justin commented.

"Better to put it to some use when the owner is chilling outside," Aaron replied, focused on his work.

Justin settled into the chair and asked, "So, how was it?"

"He ran with his tail between his legs," Aaron replied.

"Hmm, good."

Just then, the office door opened and someone entered the office, only to be shocked by the scene ahead. "Holy moly. Am I dreaming?"
