Chapter 2364
Colton looked at his empty arms until Freyja’s figure disappeared into the crowd. She had only left him for a few minutes, and he had already started to miss her.
He did not know how he was going to spend his life without Freyja.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was Leonardo.
Colton answered the call, and Leonardo said, “Sir, Mr. Weatherby wants to see you.”
Colton frowned.
Royce was waiting for Colton in the lobby of the Blackgold Group. He told them he would not leave until he saw Colton. Leonardo couldn’t send him away, so he had no other choice but to call Colton.
When Colton appeared in the lobby, Royce knelt before him and pleaded, “Mr. Goldmann, I’m really sorry about what I did. Please forgive me. I’ll do everything you say. Just don’t cancel the cooperation between our companies.”
The Blackgold Group monopolized most of the technology and construction industries in Bassburgh. If no company wanted to supply materials for him, his company would be done for!
Colton looked expressionlessly at him. He remained impassive toward his plea as he said, “Mr. Weatherby, you don’t even have the basic respect for people, and you still want to take advantage of the Blackgold Group? Who do you think we are? Some kind of charity that will help everyone?”
Royce was stunned.
Initially, he thought Colton was someone who valued benefits and interests more than anything else. Even though Colton had kicked him out of his daughter’s birthday celebration, he was confident that he was doing it because he had to stand up for his family.
He was certain that Colton would not sever their partnership just because of a woman.
After all, an ambitious man valued nothing more than his interests. For him, women were insignificant. Their job was to raise their kids and support their husbands. There was no way they could interfere with their husbands‘ decisions in their business.
All he had to do was apologize to Colton, and the latter would forgive him.
He did not expect that Colton would really terminate their partnership.
“Mr. Goldmann, I can increase the percentage of profits to you by 20%. It’s okay if I earn less. Is that okay?”
Colton’s eyes were cold as he said, “Do you not understand what I say? Do you think I’ll need that little profit of yours?”
Royce became even more nervous. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldmann. I can apologize to your wife. I promise I won’t do that again…‘
Colton grabbed Royce by his collar and glared at him furiously. “Again? It seems to me that you look down on women a lot. When you were making a false charge against her, did you ever think of what would happen if no one trusted her? For you, a woman’s reputation and
innocence are nothing? You could ride roughshod over her just because her family wasn’t there?”
Royce cried, “I’m sorry-
“It’s too late. You should prepare yourself for this outcome from the moment you humiliated. my woman.”
Colton pushed him away and called the security guard. “Get him out of here. Don’t let him set. his foot in the Blackgold Group ever again.”
The security guard pulled Royce out of the building. He kept shouting and apologizing, but everyone ignored him.
Colton turned around to look at Leonardo and said, “I want you to pass this instruction to all of our subsidiaries. No one is allowed to give any help to Royce’s company, and any violation will be treated as a breach of contract.”
After Colton severed the partnership with Royce’s company, every company that cooperated with the Blackgold Group did not dare to help Royce. They all avoided Royce as they couldn’t afford to mess with the Blackgold Group.
After all, nobody wanted to get the short end of the stick and lose their interest.
Several days after Freyja left for Yaramoor, Colton felt a bit uncomfortable with her not being around. Even during the meetings, he was worried about whether someone would bully her. After the meeting was over, Colton returned to his office. He pulled his phone out but had not received any text message or call from Freyja.
