Chapter 167 An Insincere Offer

Nicholas, who had been drowning in despair, immediately perked up when he heard his mother’s suggestion.

Susan filled him in on the plan she came up with.

“Wouldn’t we be going a bit too far? It’s a crime,” Vince said worriedly.

“How can you say that? Nicholas was such a handsome young man, but look at him now. Caspian disfigured him. He doesn’t even dare to leave the house anymore. What we’re doing is nothing compared to what Caspian did,” Susan insisted.

“I’ll only have the courage to live if I get my hands on Willow. Otherwise, sooner or later, I’ll take my own life!” Nicholas declared.

Having spent all his time inside the house, he had lost a lot of his vigor for life.

“Alright. We’ll do as you suggested, but I’m worried that Willow won’t even agree to work with us,” Vince said.

“Southlake Corporation nearly went bankrupt a while back. Even though they bought over a few companies and managed to stabilize their operations, it’s going to be a huge challenge for them to go up against Glorious Group.

“Our family business is well–established. If Southlake Corporation agrees to work with us, it’ll be very beneficial for the company. Since it involves the company’s interests, I’m sure she won’t reject it!” Nicholas declared with confidence.

He thought Susan’s idea was an excellent one. This was probably his last chance to get his

hands on Willow.

“Fine. We’ll invite Willow to a meeting tonight. Make the preparations, Nicholas,” Vince said.

Inside the CEO’s office at Southlake Corporation, Willow was so busy that her head was

spinning.

Just then, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

“Hello, who is this?” Willow asked.

“Ms. Stewart? I’m Vince Archer.” The man on the other end of the line introduced himself.

Upon hearing the name, Willow frowned. She knew who he was, of course. Archer Group was a prominent company in Southlake City.

I ask why you’re calling?” Willow asked curtly. She assumed
