Chapter 2643: Chapter 2652: President Lawrence, Would You Like to Cooperate with Me?
"Whatās the matter?" Baron Lawrence didnāt bother with small talk. He was straightforward and blunt!
Oscar had dealt with him several times and gradually understood his style. He didnāt waste words either and replied directly, "Iāve received the āgiftā from President Lawrence, and itās indeed a grand one. I wonāt say much. Iām here today to see if President Lawrence is interested in collaborating with me."
Collaborate with him...
Oscar shifted his position and continued, "President Lawrence can give it some thought. Right now, we both need collaboration. You need someone to help you handle the powers from the dark web. Meanwhile, I need someone to stabilize my position within the Oscar Group. Collaboration would benefit both parties; itās a win-win."
He paused to add, "Besides, technically, we are considered relatives."
Skye Lawrence is Baronās cousin, making him theoretically Baronās brother-in-law.
Not mentioning this would have been fine, but bringing it up made Baronās dark eyes flicker with a trace of ruthlessness. He glanced over Oscarās face and then his lips softly spat, "No need to consider. I refuse!"
Oscar didnāt expect him to refuse outright without even considering. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Do you think that illegitimate son can offer you more benefits than I can?"
"I donāt need him to bring benefits." Baron interrupted him in a deep voice, coldly saying, "I only need him to sever the cooperation between you and that man."
Oscar squinted his eyes, "..."
"The incident in Mauritius, did you think Iād let you off easily?" Baron clarified further.
Oscar wasnāt a fool; he understood what Baron meant, "So, youāre saying those previous two times werenāt your revenge?"
When he returned from Mauritius, he first conspired with Emilia Goldsmithās family to trip him up, causing the Oscar Group to lose a major deal.
Then teamed up with Edward Jackson, not only costing him several hundred millions in a big project, but nearly putting him behind bars.
So those things were not considered revenge in Baronās eyes.
"Of course not. Iāll tell you exactly what you did wrong in the past. I warned you early on not to touch Enna Clarkāsheās my bottom line!"
He insisted on testing Baronās limits.
And now he comes running to propose collaboration.
Ha.
He didnāt kill him, but only to set an example!
Why collaborate with a āchickenā destined to be killed by him?
Oscar remained silent.
He had heard Baronās warning at the time, but how could he have known Baron would be ruthless to such an extent over one woman?
If only he had known sooner...
Oscar frowned; what difference would it have made then? He had no choice. If he didnāt target Enna Clark, Wesley would target Skye.
He had no choice.
"Does President Lawrence mean thereās no way for us to collaborate?"
"What do you think?"
Oscar shrugged, his expression solemn as he said, "I think having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy."
"I donāt need friends nor am I short of enemies!"
Heās already at odds with the entire dark web; is he short of enemies?
The game has started; itās not up to them to end it.
Oscar understood; he wouldnāt achieve his objective today. Heās someone who knows when to advance and retreat. Given Baronās clearly defined stance, continuing to tangle was pointless. He gathered his smile, and his gaze sharpened, "Since President Lawrence insists on being enemies, then next time we meet, itāll be nothing but head-to-head confrontation."
