Chapter 433: Smooth Cooperation
On the way, Victor’s mind was filled with Olivia’s heartless words.
He had thought that bringing Sophia to see Olivia might soften her heart, but to his surprise, Olivia remained stone-hearted. Even seeing how worried Sophia was about her, she still said such things.
She told him not to bring Sophia to see her again.
Olivia really didn’t want to see him.
Even after arriving at the company, Victor’s face still looked grim.
“Sir,” Nathan greeted respectfully, “Mr. Whitaker came by this morning and is waiting in your office.”
Victor collected his thoughts, nodded, and walked into the office with Nathan following closely behind.
As soon as he entered, he saw Isaac leisurely sitting on the sofa with a document beside him.
Seeing Victor enter, Isaac picked up the document, stood up with a smile, and sat in the chair opposite the desk, raising an eyebrow, “Why are you so late today?”
Victor frowned slightly, “I took Sophia to school.”
Isaac nodded in understanding and handed over the document, starting to discuss the collaboration project between their two companies.
The two companies had always had a close relationship and numerous collaborations. They had always worked well together, and this time was no different. After a brief discussion, they finalized the project.
Isaac, having achieved the result, didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he shifted the topic to Olivia. “By the way, I got a call from Sylvania City. They said the cooperation with Dr. Prescott has been finalized. It seems the process went very smoothly.”
The implication was that Isaac was seeking credit from Victor.
Mentioning Olivia made Victor recall her earlier words, and his expression darkened.
Isaac noticed his brother’s unexpected reaction and furrowed his brow in confusion. “Why do you look unhappy when I mention Dr. Prescott? Did something happen between you two that I don’t know about?”
Before Victor could respond, Isaac earnestly advised him, “Everyone knows about your past attitude towards Dr. Prescott. Now that you want to keep her around, you need to be patient. Besides, Dr. Prescott is a woman and Sophia’s biological mother. You have to give her some leeway.”
Victor’s eyes darkened as he replied noncommittally, “I know.”
Isaac had said a lot in earnest but only received such a brief response. He was stunned for a few seconds before asking in exasperation, “What do you know?”
Victor glanced at him, “Olivia’s cooperation went smoothly.”
So all his earlier words were in vain.
Isaac sighed helplessly but then suddenly realized what Victor had just said and looked at him in confusion. “How do you know?”
The medicinal suppliers in Sylvania City had always been Isaac’s responsibility, and Olivia would never proactively inform Victor about it.
Thinking of this, Isaac looked suspiciously at his brother.
Could it be that he had someone monitoring Dr. Prescott?
Victor said calmly, “I also went to Sylvania City these past two days and just returned yesterday.”
Isaac was taken aback and thought carefully, the timing almost coincided with Olivia’s trip.
He then remembered that Victor had specifically asked him about Olivia’s schedule for Sylvania City a few days ago.
If Victor had gone to Sylvania City upon learning of Olivia’s trip, it made much more sense.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Moreover, this meant that his brother must have attended the banquet the night before last.
