Mason did not say anything more. Anyway, the more Olivia was dissatisfied with him, the more she targeted him, the better.
That afternoon, Bradley suddenly showed up at Mason’s office.
Mason pretended to be surprised and stepped forward. “Chairman Bradley, to whom do I owe the pleasure?”
As Bradley studied his respectful appearance, Bradley’s glance fell onto Mason’s face. The handprint left on his face was still very obvious and red.
Then, Bradley walked to the sofa and sat down slowly. “I heard that you want the Pinnacle Group to cooperate with Lisa?”
Mason lowered his gaze politely and said, “Yes. Lisa has left F&M Apparel. I think that if we could get her to cooperate with Pinnacle Group, it would certainly bring us many benefits.”
When Bradley heard this, he stared inquiringly for a long time with his sharp gaze before finally retracting it.
“I heard from some shareholders that Olivia slapped you at the meeting. Does it hurt?”
Bradley’s sudden concern flattered Mason as he replied, “No, I’m fine. It was me who had overstepped during the meeting.”
Satisfaction flashed across Bradley’s face when he heard this. This boy was a result of his own affair when he was abroad. After his two legitimate children had died, he would not allow a family business
as big as the Pinnacle Group to fall into the hands of outsiders. Thus, he decided to reconnect with this son of his.
Back then, he did not have a good impression of Mason as he would hang with gangsters when he was abroad. Later, Bradley heard the gossip around the office that Mason was a gentle and orderly man. He would even go out of his way to study whatever he did not understand about the company’s affairs.
And the most important thing was that he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He did not show any motives of wanting to fight for power at all.
Overall, Bradley was delighted with Mason.
“You’re right. Lisa is really worth the fight,” Bradley said approvingly. Then, he looked at Mason and continued, “Is there any way you can recruit Lisa to work with us?”
Mason naturally wouldn’t admit that he had already discussed it with Lisa and instead just said, “Back in the days when I was still working in the underground garage, I saved Lisa. I didn’t know who she was before this and only found out after I read the news. I have an idea of using this as Lisa’s repayment to get her to represent the Pinnacle Group in the Golden Brush Award.”
Bradley felt satisfied when he heard Mason’s plan, which showed him that Mason had honestly thought things through. This wasn’t a big request either, and they would be able to see how capable Lisa was.
Bradley nodded as he narrowed his eyes slightly before saying with satisfaction, “Then, you may proceed with your plan.”
There was a bit of hesitation on Mason’s face, and it took him a while to say, “But, President Gardner…”
Bradley knew what Mason was afraid of. After all, he was just slapped by Olivia in public. Then, Bradley reached out and patted Mason on his shoulder.
“You’re the president of Pinnacle Group. You have the right to make these decisions. So, don’t worry about anything else. If something goes wrong, I’ll back you up.”
Mason still showed no expression when he heard this as he answered solemnly, “I understand. Thank you, Chairman Bradley.”
Nevertheless, Bradley loudly proclaimed, “Call me dad.”
This made Mason pause as a strange expression flashed across his eyes. But in the end, he still called out, “Dad.”
With a sigh, Bradley did not say anything more and turned to leave.
Once he left, Mason dropped the modest act on his face, and his dark eyes followed Bradley’s silhouette out the door.
Then, a sneer appeared on Mason’s face.
Be it the Pinnacle Group or the Schumacher Family, they owed this to him!
Back in the day, Bradley was out fooling around with other women, although he had a family. That was when he managed to knock Mason’s mother up and abandoned her after. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
His mother became ill after giving birth to him and died when he was 12 years old. He had always known who his biological father was and slowly climbed his way up here.
Anyhow, since he had yet to fully control the Pinnacle Group, he couldn’t relax.
