Chapter 139 Cassius Asks Gustave to Go Home

Cyrus thought that he had heard wrong. When did Avery become so impulsive in

business?

Cyrus asked to confirm, “Sir, do you mean to directly terminate the biggest contract signed with theWalpole Group now? This is a unilateral violation of the contract. What kind of reason should we give tothe Walpole Group and the public?”

Avery obviously could not calm down. Moreover, his plan to terminate the contract unilaterally was onlyout of his intention to give Gustave a reminder.

Such a big deal was related to the interests of the Gallard Group and Walpole Group, and it might notreally end when it was negotiated later.

Avery said impatiently, “The technology and products of the Walpole Group are not completely in linewith our requirements, so we intend to terminate the cooperation.

“There were many other reasons like this. Markus would settle the specific reason. The contracttermination letter was sent directly first. I was waiting for the Walpole Group

to reply.”

Cyrus finally understood what Avery meant, but if they terminated the cooperation like this, the WalpoleGroup wouldn’t be the only one suffering a loss. At least it would be a

loss for both parties.

So Cyrus had to remind Avery, “Sir, this is not appropriate. Why don’t you think about it.

twice?

“The Gallard Group has always valued its reputation. With a precondition that the

partner is blameless, the case that the contract was suddenly terminated unilaterally

has never happened before. It is hard to estimate the impact on the Gallard Group’s future profit andreputation that the termination will bring. Besides…

Cyrus paused slightly and then he continued, “Moreover, I’m afraid that Mr. Gallard will not agree nomatter what. Once it gets out, the board of directors and shareholders. will be involved. It may betroublesome.”

Avery was in a very bad mood. He directly turned around and left. “Cyrus, you think about too manythings. Just let Markus do as I say.

“Gustave knows what I want. As for the influence of ending the cooperation with the

Gallard Group, that was a problem that the relevant departments of the Gallard Group should think of.”

Cyrus was in a dilemma. “Sir, this…”

Before Cyrus finished speaking, Avery had already left.

At the Walpole’s villa.

The doctor came out of the consulting room and told Gustave with a serious expression, “The situation isnot promising. Ms. Garcia’s heart failure has been very serious. This is

obvious.

“My suggestion is, Mr. Walpole, you begin to prepare an artificial heart. If the situation continues todeteriorate, we can only prepare to implant artificial hearts at any time.”

He opened the medical record and handed it to Gustave. “As for Ms. Garcia’s psychological illness, I’mafraid it will be more dangerous than her heart disease.

“She suddenly suffered a great shock, causing her depression to relapse. Her current mood is veryunstable. It is best to ensure that she has someone by her side to protect her at any time to prevent anyaccidents from happening when she loses control of her

emotions.”

Gustave took the medical record the doctor handed over and said, “Got it. Thank you for your hardwork.”

Gustave turned around and looked at Darnell, who had just returned from the call. “Choose two morereliable servants to guard her.”

Darnell looked troubled. He had just hung up a call and was still holding the phone in his hand “Sir,something has happened.

“Avery had ended the one–sided collaboration with the Gallard Group. The termination. letter had beensent directly to Mr. Walpole. Mr. Walpole had called and said that he wanted you to return homeimmediately.”

Gustave flipped through the medical records in his hands. He clearly wasn’t worried at all. “I don’t havetime to go back. Let Avery transfer enough sum of the liquidated damages. If he wants to end it, then sobe it. If I lose ten percent of the benefits, he will

lose at least twenty percent.”

Darnell was a little hesitant. “But Mr. Walpole said that if you don’t go back, he will come directly now.Ms. Garcia’s current situation is still unstable. If Mr. Walpole comes to make trouble, I’m afraid…”

Gustave frowned and closed the medical record immediately. He threw it back into the hands of thedoctor next to him and told the servant, “Keep an eye on her. If anything happens, your salary will bededucted.”

The servant immediately nodded repeatedly. There was nothing more terrible than deducting wages forworking at Gustave’s place.

Gustave was in a bad mood. When he walked out, he strode over.

Darnell quickly followed Gustave behind and then drove to the Walpole’s old house.

Gustave was in a bad mood. Darnell drove all the way and did not dare to make

noise.

When they arrived, other than Cassius, Sandra and Abigail were also there.

any

Gustave walked in and looked at Sandra. He sneered, “Ms. Bullock, you’re quite think–skinned. I thoughtyou would be too embarrassed to enter the door of our house.

for a year or so.”

Sandra coughed with a guilty conscience. “Mr. Walpole, Abigail’s matter is indeed a misunderstanding.There was a little trouble in the orphanage.

“I have explained it to your father. Your father said that Abigail is a clever and sensible child. She will befriends with you.”

Gustave looked at Abigail mockingly. He was not in the mood to talk about how thick their skin was. Hedirectly sat down on the sofa opposite Cassius.

“Dad, if you have something to say, just say it. I’m busy. I have something else to do.”

Cassius asked in a deep voice, “Busy? Busy taking care of someone else’s wife, busy sending theWalpole Group to a dead end?”

Gustave leaned back and took the coffee the servant handed over. He took a sip.

unhurriedly.

“Dad, you are too serious. Avery unilaterally terminated the cooperation. That is his problem. It’s none ofmy business. If he wants to do this, it will be a disgrace to the Gallard Group.”

Cassius said coldly, “I don’t want to argue with you about these meaningless things. Immediately sendthat Darlene back to Avery. Don’t interfere in things that you should not get involved in.

“No matter who Aurora was back then, she was just a twelve–year–old girl. Does it

matter?

“I think Abigail is a very obedient child. The psychologist also said that her illness will soon get better.You are also at the age to start your family…”

Gustave interrupted Cassius and said impolitely, “Dad, what are you trying to say? You have good taste.Are you trying to persuade me to marry a fool?”

Abigail’s eyes immediately turned red and her face was full of grievance. How could Gustave say that toher?

Cassius was so angry that he threw the coffee cup on the table. “Watch your language. Abigail is here.What are you saying?”

Gustave’s expression also turned cold. “Dad, you can clearly hear what I’m saying. I really want to ask,what did you want to say after beating around the bush?

“Sandra and the Bullock family had ill intentions and placed fake goods beside me. Now, you eveninvited her over to entertain her. Are you sure you are not muddled?”

Cassius was so angry that he slammed his fist on the coffee table, causing a violent cough, “Youbastard, bastard!

“Obedience and discipline are women’s virtues. The Walpole family chooses a

daughter–in–law for a reason. I think Abigail is a hundred times better than that fickle

Darlene.

Gustave immediately stood up. “Dad, you should think about these thoughts yourself. I have somethingto do, so I’ll leave first.”

Cassius‘ voice suddenly sank. “It’s not up to you. I will never watch my own son ruin his

own future like this.

“A man should value his career. You are just like your mother. You take feelings too seriously and can’ttell the point!”

Gustave turned around, anger in his eyes. “You are not qualified to judge my mother. It is you who areheartless and unworthy to be a husband.”

As soon as Gustave finished speaking, he sensed that something was wrong, and the heat in his bodycame abruptly.

Gustave looked at the cup of coffee on the coffee table, and it was only at this moment that he realizedsomething.

Gustave looked over in disbelief and heard his father speak in a deep voice. “Abigail, help Mr. Walpoleup and rest.”
