When his saliva was about to flow out, Carlos said, “Okay, you think about it carefully.”

Who knew, as soon as he finished speaking, Carlos’ phone rang.

He took a glance. It was a call from his home.

When he was about to hang up, Athena smiled and said, “You should take it.”

Carlos was puzzled and wondered, “It’s a call from my home. What does it have to do with her whether

I should take it or

not?”

However, he still picked it up with a smile on his face.

“What…” He just spoke, and there was a cry from over the

phone chimed in. “Darling, our car was smashed, and our son is lost!”

“What?” Carlos almost jumped up.

“What should I do?” The woman was crying heartbreakingly over the phone.

enly thought of Athena.

He looked at the delicate woman in front of him in astonishment and asked, “Miss Newton, is it you?”

Athena smiled brightly. “So, Mr. Butler, can you all stop acting now? Let’s have a good chat!”

Carlos cut off the phone and could no longer maintain the flattering expression on his face.

“We are on the same side. Why do you touch with my family?” Carlos roared angrily.

The villagers looked blankly at Carlos and then at Athena, wondering, “Why are they suddenly having

an infighting? We haven’t practiced this before, have we? How are we going to play along now?”

“You can have a guess.” Athena tilted her head slightly.

Carlos suddenly thought of something and then roared, “I didn’t smash your car! You took revenge on

the wrong person!”

Hearing that, Gideon raised his eyebrow.

Athena laughed. “It’s weird. How did you know that my car

was smashed, Mr. Butler? I didn’t say anything about it, did I?”

Carlos froze.

He got a son at his old age.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that the child was lost, he was freaked out, and anxiety deterred

rationale. He got off guard and blurted out the words.

Carlos stood rooted on the spot as if he had fallen into the ice water in the middle of winter.

“Mr. Butler, do you really think Mr. Hale and I are here to give you money?” Athena asked slowly.

Her aura was imposing.

Glancing at those troublemakers, Carlos took a deep breath. and said, “Get out.”

“But the money…”

Carlos lost his temper and shouted, “Get lost!”

That dozens of people hurriedly got up and filed out.

Then, only Carlos, Gideon, and Athena were left in the

conference room.

and sat down, saying, “Miss Newton, Mr. Hale, it seems you two have come prepared. So, what do you

know?”

Athena’s tone was light as she said, “Mr. Butler, it’s such a big project. If you follow the normal

procedures, it’s more than enough for you to earn. You’re too greedy.”

“Miss Newton, it’s not that I want to be greedy. I was being forced!” Carlos burst into tears as he

continued, “It’s Arlan. He gets something on me and always uses my son to threaten me! I don’t have

any choice. I really don’t have a choice.”

“Arlan?” Gideon asked.

Carlos wiped away his tears. “Yes. It’s him! I know that there is no such thing as cemeteries at all. It

was Arlan who found someone to find trouble on purpose to ask for money. At first, he asked for one NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

billion dollars. I knelt before him and pleaded for a long time before he agreed to at least 200

million dollars.”

“Really?” Athena asked.

“It’s true!” Carlos exclaimed.

“I’ll have to ask Arlan, then.” Athena tapped the table with her

fingertips.

Carlos was stunned and sneered inwardly, “Hah! This woman thought she found something and

immediately became self-righteous. She actually wanted to interrogate Arlan!”

At that moment, the door was pushed open suddenly.

“Carlos, something happened to Arlan!”
