Chapter 614 Not Your Enemy
Hugo was as efficient as ever. At the break of dawn, he’d already mailed the information Oscar wanted. At the same time, he’d also printed an extra copy.
When Oscar arrived at the office the next day, Hugo had already delivered him a copy personally.
“Boss, these are the information you asked for,” Hugo uttered respectfully and put the document on Oscar’s desk.
Oscar nodded in response.
When he flipped open the document, he noticed that the information gathered was even more complete than the one he asked for the last time around. As he reached the third page, he noticed Benjamin had found himself a sugar baby in Saspiuburg, who was a university graduate. This girl bears a strong resemblance to Mrs. Hutton. However, she looks rather innocent. At first glance, one might think she’s just a simple girl.
A grin appeared on Oscar’s face, and he chuckled mockingly. “Things are getting more and more interesting, it seems. Initially, I thought he loves his wife dearly, but it seems like he’d also had his fair share of midlife crisis.”
In the meantime, Hugo just remained silent as he stood there. He knew not to voice his personal opinions on the matter.
“Have you made an appointment with him?” Oscar closed the document and asked.
“Boss, I’ve already made an appointment to meet him at ten in the morning. We’re going to meet at the cafe across the street from the office,” Hugo answered earnestly.
Oscar nodded. “Okay. You may leave now.”
“Yes, Boss.”
After Hugo left, Oscar went back to his work.
When the time came, Oscar grabbed his suit and headed downstairs by using the elevator.
The moment he exited the building, he saw a beautiful figure walking toward him hurriedly.
“Oscar!” a female was heard calling out with a hint of resentment.
Oscar stopped in his tracks and turned toward the voice. It was none other than Cassie.
“Oscar, I was sincere when I brought the proposal to your office yesterday. Why did you get your guards to stop me from entering today? What’s going on?” Cassie sounded frustrated.
Oscar merely threw her a glance before he turned around and left.
In her high heels, Cassie chased after him and stopped him. “Stop right there, Oscar!”
“Yes? Are you done pretending to be gentle for one day? You’ve gone back to your true nature, I see,” Oscar mocked.
Hearing that, Cassie was stumped.
“I’m busy now, so I don’t have the time to fool around with you.” Oscar walked past her, but she grabbed onto him instead.
“Oscar, I’ve changed so much for you. When I heard someone telling me that you’re into career women, I’ve immediately gotten myself a nine-to-five job. Besides, I’ve even gone to extreme lengths to imitate Amelia. Can’t you see all the changes I’ve made for you?” Cassie pleaded.
Oscar merely ignored her and left.
Cassie stomped her feet in anger before chasing after him in her high heels. She was walking so fast that she’d almost twisted her ankle.
Since Oscar was taking large strides when he walked, she had a hard time trying to catch up to him. Ultimately, she was stopped at the entrance of the cafe when Hugo appeared out of nowhere.
“Ms. Yard, please stop here,” Hugo uttered sternly.
In response, Cassie glared at him and fumed, “Get out of my way!”
“Ms. Yard, please have some self-respect and step aside. If you keep forcing yourself onto someone, you might turn out looking rather pathetic.” Hugo showed no mercy in his words.
Cassie could only shoot him a glare and stomp her feet helplessly before stepping aside. She crossed her arms and tried to peek inside, but she saw nothing at all.
After Oscar entered the cafe, he went to the second floor and sat at a desk in the innermost part of the cafe. Soon after, Benjamin had also arrived.
Oscar ordered a cup of latte while Benjamin ordered a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain from the server.
Once they were served their beverages, Benjamin stirred his coffee and asked, “Get straight to the point, Mr. Clinton. Why did you ask to see me?”
“Leave my wife alone. I know you’ve gotten some people to stalk my wife, but I’ll let the matter slide. However, I won’t be as lenient if that happens again,” Oscar replied.
Hearing that, Benjamin chuckled lightly and appeared calm. “Since your wife has kidnapped my wife, don’t you think it’s only right if I act upon it as a husband?”
“Mr. Hutton, I’m afraid the truth had revealed itself. I know you’ve found yourself a sugar baby who looks like your wife in Saspiuburg. In fact, she’s a university graduate, isn’t she? Since you’ve already found yourself a replacement for your wife, don’t you think it’s only right if you let your wife go? Why do you have to make things so difficult for the both of you?” Oscar asked in a nonchalant tone.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes in response. “You’ve got eyes on me?”
Oscar kept mum.
“What do you want?” Benjamin asked again.
“I want you to go back to Saspiuburg.”
“As long as my wife comes with me, I’ll book our flight tickets to leave right away. As for the girl I have in Saspiuburg, she’s just a fling. When my wife returns, I’ll leave willingly.”
“I don’t care if Mrs. Hutton wishes to leave with you or not, but my wife intends to acknowledge her. Besides, Mrs. Hutton wants to divorce you. That’s why I have no choice but to intervene. I doubt you could do much in Tayhaven, anyway.”
“Mr. Clinton, perhaps you should know that marriages are based on commitments. I’ve already been married to my wife for over thirty years. Hence, we’re bound to spend the rest of our lives together. I’d greatly appreciate it if you can get my wife to return to me willingly.” Benjamin had no intention of backing down.
Hearing that, Oscar smiled. “Mr. Hutton, people of your age should just enjoy your retirement. Frankly, I think your son has the looks and capabilities for a bright future. Perhaps you should just hand your business down to him because I believe that he can strengthen your company a lot. You’re not young anymore, Mr. Hutton. It’s time for you to step down. Also, you won’t be able to afford it if you keep treating Amelia as your enemy.”
Benjamin’s expression changed dramatically, and his mind was racing ahead. “What do you mean by that?”
“Whatever the words imply.”
Instantly, thoughts raced through Benjamin’s mind. Has Sean struck a deal with Oscar?
“Did Sean look for you?” he asked.
“Indeed. He’s approached me multiple times, and he’s expressed his intentions of working with me. Among the projects he’d shown me, I’m quite intrigued by the water park project. Although it seems a bit far-fetched, I think it’s going to attract a lot of patrons once it’s completed. We might need to invest a lot in the early days, but we should be able to see profits within two years’ time,” Oscar said cooly.
Hearing that, Benjamin’s expression turned ghastly. The water park project is something the Hutton Corporations planned to execute in the future! How did Sean dare reveal that to Oscar? This is outrageous!
“If I were you, Mr. Hutton, I wouldn’t put the cart before the horse and dwell on personal feelings. Otherwise, someone might pounce on the opportunity to replace you. When that happens, you’re going to retire with nothing at all.” Oscar continued stoking the fire to irritate Benjamin.
Benjamin’s eyes kept flickering as he was coming up with a plan in his mind. “I’ve got something to attend to, Mr. Clinton. I shall leave now.”
“I’m not done, Mr. Hutton.”
Benjamin had no choice but to stop in his tracks.
“Amelia had never been an enemy of yours, and there’s no way I’d let her acknowledge you. Instead of focusing on how to deal with Amelia, I think you should pay more attention to your company. Otherwise, a window might open up for someone to replace you and take everything you own,” Oscar advised.
Benjamin’s steps faltered, and he left without sparing Oscar another glance.
Seeing that, Oscar smirked and finished his coffee. He then paid the bill and left.
