The Silent Wife

Chapter 256

Arthur’s dimly lit eyes were filled with coldness. “Ask him to cut all connections with Hudson Pharmaceuticals as soon as possible. Hudson Pharmaceuticals has already been eyed.”

“Yes, sir.”

Meanwhile, a black sedan was speeding on a mountain pass.

The man in the back seat was rather advanced in age. His sideburns were turning gray, and his face was as cold as an iceberg. In a daze, he looked outside of the window.

Buzz. Suddenly, a sound emerged in the car as a message appeared on the phone screen. After reading the message, the man hummed, “We just got an order. So, back to business.”

Although the driver was dressed in suits, he had a heavy countryside accent. “Mr. Caleb, didn’t Old Master Burton ask to keep a low profile for now and stop accepting orders?”

“Stop accepting orders?” The man snorted. “He made it sound like a piece of cake. If I quit, do you think my subordinates will settle for it? Do you expect them to be unemployed?”

“We can take it slow. I can explain to them.”

“It’s okay. We can finish this deal first and talk about the rest later.”

“Yes, Mr. Caleb. You’re loyal to your brothers, so they will definitely be more careful when doing tasks in the future so that the police won’t catch them tripping. Even if they really get caught, they will seal their lips just like Bucky.”

Just then, the driver could sense a cold stare from the rear mirror. He quickly clammed up upon realizing he had said something wrong as cold sweat trickled down his forehead. “Mr. Caleb, I didn’t bring this up on purpose. …”

Caleb glared coldly at the driver. “Bucky is going to be released soon, isn’t he?”

“Yes, sir. Next week.”

“He has done me such a huge favor. I should give him a good treat, shouldn’t l?”

“You’ve been taking good care of Bucky’s family over these years and he’s very grateful toward you. It’s unnecessary to give him a treat. Bucky has said that it’s his honor to be able to serve you after being released from the jail.”

“Did he say so?”

“Of course.”
