A Fallen Heir’s Redemption By ( Lucian and Freya )
Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Take Care of Your Reputation

“Okay, then I’ll go talk to Grandpa.”

After which, Tom brought Drake over to Henry under the gaze of many in the crowd.

The Harrisons were observing this turn of events as well. They looked at each other in delight as they cursed internally how shameless Lucian was for taking advantage of Freya’s partnership with the Infernal Group to ruin Drake’s project.

Now that Drake had more important figures supporting him, he was sure to get his project back.

Nadine suddenly thought of something and said to Dax, “Grandpa, this is a good chance. Let’s talk to Mr. Gray too and have him talk the Harrison family up in front of the Infernal Group so that the project can go to us instead of Freya.”

“Good idea,” Eleanor echoed that sentiment.

Dax also understood that this was a rare opportunity, so he quickly brought several of his Harrison family members over to Henry. At the moment, Henry was discussing with Drake on the issue of his project. Seeing Henry agree to Drake’s request, Dax immediately rushed up to him and said, “Mr. Gray, I have something to ask of you as well.”

“Oh, what can I do for the Harrison family?” Henry looked at Dax and asked.

Dax smiled, “With Mr. Gray’s prestige, all it takes is a single phone call and the Infernal Group. will definitely terminate their partnership with Freya. Could you perhaps ask Mr. Asher if the Harrison family can take over instead? When the time comes, we’ll both make some money from it. Hehehe.”

The implication of both sides making money was clear to Henry; Dax was suggesting to split the profits.

“Sure thing. It’s no problem at all.”

Henry took out his phone, glancing over at the ever–smiling Lucian as he said, “As long as it makes things difficult for that stinking brat, I’ll do it all. How dare that useless piece of trash act so smug in front of me. With a single phone call, I can make his wife lose everything.”

“Did you hear that, Lucian? You and Freya are going to lose your project soon enough,” Dax said in a mocking tone.

In contrast, Lucian just casually lit up a cigarette. He looked at Henry in disdain and said, “I suggest you refrain from making that call. It’ll be so embarrassing to have your request rejected. You should take better care of your own reputation.”

“Hahaha.”

When Gareth, Tom and the rest heard his reply, they all broke out in laughter.

“Are you an idiot? Mr. Gray and the Infernal Group are on great terms. The Gray Group even has a long–term project with the Infernal Group. How can they possibly reject his request? Are you just scared?”

“If you’re scared, then kneel and apologize. After that, kill yourself as a token of your apology. Hahaha.”

Henry’s gaze at Lucian was filled with incredible malice. Of late, he had suffered on multiple occasions because of the rascal. Not only did Lucian send him a coffin on his sixty–sixth birthday celebration as an insult and embarrassed him for a car, he even crippled Marcus, his oldest son.

The hatred he had amassed from all these instances was enough to make Henry lose his mind.

Since the Gray Group was going to be publicly listed today, it was a good opportunity to teach Lucian a lesson and settle all their old debts.

Henry walked over to Lucian and said, “Kid, if you kneel in front of me right now and call your father a worthless fool, then I might consider not making the call. Otherwise, I can not only get Drake his project back with a single phone call, I can also make Freya lose her demolition project. You’d best consider your actions carefully.”

“Make the call then,” Lucian smiled coldly and said.

“Useless ingrate, I’ll show you now what it means to have real connections!”

Henry quickly found Jack’s contact details and called him.

When Henry made the call, many in the crowd fixed their eyes on Lucian because they knew by the time he was done talking to Jack, Lucian’s wife would instantly lose everything. Was this what it meant to ruin one’s family?

The Harrison family was also excited, especially Dax who was shaking with anticipation.

After Henry’s phone call, the demolition project would fall back into their hands. Before this, Lucian had helped Freya obtain the project using the Gray family name. However, now that the Gray family themselves were making the call to the Infernal Group, Lucian was destined to lose it all.

“Hello, Mr. Asher. It’s Henry.”

Henry used an overly–friendly tone and said to Jack, “We’ve known each other for a long while now. I have something I’d like you to help with. There’s a grandson of mine that goes by the name Drake Hoffman. He was initially working with the Infernal Group, but that worthless ingrate Lucian used his wife Freya’s connections to terminate my dear grandson’s project. Can you help to reinstate his partnership with the Infernal Group?”

“Lucian…” Jack felt goosebumps upon hearing the name and instantly fell silent.

“That’s right. It’s that worthless little bastard Lucian Gray. Mr. Asher, can you just continue working with my grandson out of respect for me? And one other thing, can you hand over Freya’s project to the Harrison family as well?”

Even though Henry had only dined with Jack several times, he was very confident in his abilities. After all, the Gray Group was soon to be publicly listed and would stand as one of the three major families. As long as Jack wasn’t too big of an idiot, he would not want to offend him for the sake of Lucian.

Jack tried to deflect the subject, “Oh Mr. Gray, isn’t the Gray Group going to be publicly listed today? You should be focusing on that instead of trying to make life difficult for Lucian, don’t you think?”

Henry replied, “You’re absolutely right, Mr. Asher. Someone as important as me definitely has bigger fish to fry than Lucian. However, he has simply gone too far. He must be taught a lesson. It’s settled then, Mr. Asher!”

“Hold it.”

Just as Henry was about to hang up, Jack said, “Mr. Gray, I don’t seem to recall having agreed to your request? I would like to know what gave you the audacity to think that I can do this favor for you? Let me tell you, the chairman is the one who decided for the Infernal Group to work with Freya and no one can dispute that decision. Furthermore, you mentioned your grandson is Drake Hoffman? At first, we were just going to give him a small punishment. If he does a good job, we might even consider giving the project back to him. But now that you’ve called me, he can kiss any prospect of working together with the Infernal Group goodbye forever.”

After saying his piece, Jack abruptly hung up the phone.

Henry was on speaker when he called, so everyone was able to hear what Jack said.

The whole banquet hall was in utter silence and everyone had a dumbfounded look on their faces.

They didn’t expect Jack to not even give an ounce of respect to Henry.

Drake was especially devastated to learn that he initially had a chance to get back his project, but was now gone and he had completely fallen into the Infernal Group’s blacklist because of Henry He was on the verge of tears and had an urge to just run himself into a wall.

Those from the Harrison family also believed that the project was going to be in their hands, bu with the development of events, they couldn’t help sharing confused looks with one another.

Henry stared awkwardly at his phone. He was confident that he could get Drake his project back

which was why he had made the call. However, not only did the other party flat out reject him, they even blacklisted Drake completely. There was no regard for his influence at all.

“Hahaha.”

A scornful laughter could be heard then, and everyone turned to look at Lucian.

“Didn’t I tell you, old fool? You should take better care of your own reputation. But you didn’t listen, and now look at how embarrassing it is.”

Lucian made a smoke ring and crossed his legs as he said, “Did you really think the Gray Group would be invincible after being publicly listed? The Infernal Group respected the Gray family simply because my father was there, not because of an old fogey like you. Get it now?”

“I am going to murder you!”

Henry bellowed furiously. He was utterly enraged now. With bloodshot eyes, he pointed at Lucian and yelled, “Come out, men! I want this kid ripped to shreds! Break his legs and turn him to a homeless cripple! I want him to beg me to kill him!”

His angry command echoed across the banquet hall.

Soon, over a hundred burly men flooded inside holding knives.

Henry had been losing sleep ever since his son got crippled, so he spent a large sum of money to hire several hundred capable fighters just to eliminate Lucian today. To him, Lucian had been annoyingly jumping around long enough. It was time to put this brat down once and for all.
