They didn’t dare ignore him, and hurriedly raised their glasses in return.

Spurred by Jeremy’s hospitality and the steady stream of alcohol, the atmosphere slowly loosened up.

One member of the Turner family caught sight of Brandon and Natalie, and immediately whispered to Jeremy with a smirk, “Mr. Button, you might not be aware, but the customers you just apologized to at that table were none other than Mr. Larson of the Larson Group and his wife, Natalie White.”

Following his gaze, Jeremy glanced over to where the couple was seated enjoying a romantic ambiance.

A mischievous smile immediately appeared on his face.

“Mr. Larson of the Larson Group, you say?”

The man nodded eagerly and remarked, “These days, the Larson Group is the number one enterprise in Barnes.

Although Mr. Larson is new in the industry, he’s proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with, as he deploys brutal methods that we can’t compete with.”

Jeremy swirled the wine glass in his hand deviously, with his eyes beaming with confidence as he spoke arrogantly.

“Not to worry. I believe that under my steady guidance and leadership, the Turner Group will outdo the Larson Group in no time. As for Mr. Larson…”

He threw his head back, chugged the entire glass of red wine, and fixed his eyes on Brandon with a sinister smile.

“He’ll become a complete failure in no time.” The members of the Turner family, however, thought that Jeremy was simply bragging after having had one too many drinks.

“Don’t underestimate him, Mr. Button. People who have opposed him in the past haven’t had a very good outcome.”

What a coincidence! Anyone who dared to oppose him would have an unfortunate end! A smug smile appeared on Jeremy’s face, and he said intently, “Well, let’s just wait and see.”

He had been successful at manipulating Brandon from behind the scenes in the past, so it was no impossible task for him now.

Now that he had acquired the Turner Group, he only needed a little more time to expand its business.

Having completed that, he’d have enough leverage to take Brandon on face-to-face, with no need to manipulate events from behind the scenes.
