"What are you trying to do, Little bro?" Vincent continued reading the document about the project between Gregory Maxwell and his little brother.

It was supposed to be a company secret, but Gregory Maxwell's shareholders were basically under Vincent's thumb as well, so it wasn't really difficult to extort some information from them.

"So basically, my cute little brother wants to release a beverage product for some part of Europe, huh?" Vincent murmured. He had a thin smile and was undoubtedly proud of his little brother, who was actively trying to find a business that would work for him.

"Hmm… he's working with Gregory Maxwell to supply the metal can material. Not bad. That old man might've been crooked, but I think I've straightened him a bit after I cut half of the supply coming from him," Vincent murmured.

"Vernon made the right decision to take that old man's service. Usually I'd be very happy for my little bro, but this is different…."

Vincent had yet told Vernon about his method of dealing with Gregory Maxwell and the reason behind it.

He also hadn't told that little boy about his plan to intentionally create chaos within the business circle until they all became desperate to save themselves.

"So what's the reason you're working with Gregory Maxwell right now? Surely you have a lot of options, right, little bro?" Vincent talked as if he was interrogating his little brother in front of him. "Do you want to cross your path against me, your own Big brother?"

Vincent wasn't an idiot not to know that sibling rivalry was bound to happen in any kind of household, so Vernon and him would eventually cross paths and fight for a big slice of cake called money.

"I don't really mind if he takes a part of my wealth. After all, we are brothers, we're supposed to share things we have," Vincent murmured, his gaze cooled as he had malicious intent in his heart. "But I will never forgive those who betray me, even my own little brother."

"I will punish him. I'll desecrate all of the companies that he built from the bottom until he begged to be forgiven," Vincent said coldly.

Vincent tapped the desk with his finger, trying to decide whether he needed to take action against Vernon. He wanted to extort some information about what he was doing, "Vernon is the one who put Gregory Maxwell's data in his report to me. Obviously, he wants me to weed that old man out first."

"I thought he just wanted to help me find Chloe, but now… I'm not sure."

As Vincent's suspicion grew bigger, his phone suddenly rang. He frowned, thinking it might be another call from that useless condom bitch, Priscilla.

He kicked her out of his mansion and company, but she kept trying to call him through different numbers, talk about obsession.

But it wasn't Priscilla. Much to his surprise, it was his Little brother, Vernon.

Thus, Vincent quickly picked up the phone and waited until Vernon spoke;



"Uh, good evening, Big bro!" Vernon greeted him with his usual happy tone as if talking to Vincent was such a joyful occasion.

That positive energy from his little brother quickly washed Vincent's suspicion away. He might be cold and cruel, but he saw Vernon as the only family he had raised since he was a kid.

So he had a soft spot for Vernon.

"Good evening, do you have something you want to talk about, Vernon?" Vincent asked directly, hinting to Vernon that he needed to clarify this, or this would lead to a sibling war.

"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you about Gregory Maxwell," Vernon replied lightly. As if he wasn't trying to hide anything. "I signed a contract with him."

"What kind of contract?"

"Hmm, you see, Big bro, I was trying to make a refreshing drink product, and it will be released around Europe later. The project is already ongoing, and I need a metal can material supplier for it."

"Mr. Maxwell came to my office and offered to be the supplier. He even claimed that he will handle the supply transport to Europe," Vernon said. "Big bro, it's an amazing offer that I cannot pass, especially since he also offered me a low price for it."

"I see…" Vincent's lips perked up as he was listening to his Little bro. "And what's the point of you reporting this to me?"

"Uhh, obviously, because I was the one who put Gregory Maxwell inside the report I gave you before. I know I sound hypocritical, but I want to make sure that you don't think I'm trying to betray you or something…."

"HAHAHAH!" Vincent laughed rambunctiously. "It's okay, I know that old man's capability as well. He has been working with the Gray family for years."

"But you have to be careful. I cut the half of the supply from him because he tried to cut corners by giving me slightly worse material," Vincent informed. "Make sure to inspect the material he sent. If it's a bad one, just tell me, I will deal with him."

"Damn, I didn't know that…." Vernon said cluelessly. "Should I stop the supply? But that'd be a breach of contract, and I'll have to pay a lot of money for compensation…."

"No need," Vincent replied. "He's good enough. I just want to make sure you have a good supplier, so your product will be a big success. If you need my help with anything, just call me, okay?"

"Okay! Thank you Big bro!" Vernon replied with joy. "Phew, I thought I messed up. Big bro, you're not mad about it, right?"

"About what?"

"About this Gregory Maxwell thing—"

"No, it's fine," Vincent replied lightly. His heart was at ease after knowing his Little bro didn't intend to betray him. "Just make sure to inform me if you're working with people within my business circle. So there won't be any misunderstanding."

"Sure, thank you so much, Big bro! Oh, I still have work to do, talk to ya' later!"

"Mhm, bye."

Beep.
