Unlike him, Sally would give it away when she was provoked.
“Haha. Cate, you can continue to be smug, but it’s no use. Even God won’t be able to save you.
Haha.” Sally suddenly burst into laughter. “I heard you’re going back to Canberra now, right? Just wait. We’ll come and look for you once we’re out.”
Cate put down the handset. Then, she turned around and left.
Shaun, who was outside the prison, strode toward her as soon as he saw her. He held her hands. “How is it?”
“It does have something to do with Rosabella.” Cate went quiet for a moment before she added, “I managed to sound Sally out. It seems that Rosabella is involved with some big gun. That big gun could be equally or more powerful than the prime minister of Australia.”
Shaun’s expression became somber. “Who the hell is that blind man interested in a woman like Rosabella?”
“I have no idea what’s wrong with the world.” Cate laughed bitterly. “But just like Sarah, Rosabella is great at pretending. Many men fall into this kind of trap.”
“It’s alright. There’s a solution to every problem.” Shaun wrapped his hand around her waist. “Let’s return to Melbourne. The new product of Lyons Corporation will be launched soon.”
“Mm.”
Cate nodded. However, before she left Melbourne, she called Logan and Austin over. ” Please keep an eye on the prison. I have a feeling that Rosabella might show up after Jeffery and Sally are released. But don’t tail them too closely. Both of you should separate yourselves from each other when shadowing them. If one of you is in danger, at least the other person can save you.”
“You mean…?” Logan was dumbfounded. “Be careful.” Cate reminded them.
After returning to Canberra, Lyons Corporation organized a press conference where Shaun personally gave a speech on stage.
In the public’s eyes, Lyons Corporation had already become a shadow of its former self. Even other companies within the industry did not pay them much attention. Hence, only a handful of reporters were present. There were ten or so reporters scattered around the venue.
“President Lyons, did you suddenly venture into the electric appliances industry because the Campos family has recently invested 5oo billion dollars in electrical products? Are you planning to compete with the Campos family? But I don’t think Lyons Corporation can compare to the Campos family in terms of its current net worth and rank.”
“President Lyons, you must be kidding. The Campos family has introduced Garson Corporation’s technology to develop their electrical products.
How can Lyons Corporation compare to them?”
Stung by the reporters’ mockery, Shaun gave a faint smile. “The Campos family is still in the middle of developing the product. However, Lyons Corporation has developed the product, and it’ll be launched globally three days later. You guys can have a look a t our latest model of transformer and X-ray generator…”
At the same time, in Campos Corporation.
While a group of executives was having a meeting, Mason sat on the main leather chair impassively. All of a sudden, an employee from the technical department barged in. “Oh no, Chairman Campos.”
“Can’t you see we’ re having a meeting? What are you fussing about?” Charlie thumped the table with a gloomy expression.
“President Campos, Lyons Corporation has just held a press conference…”
” I’ve heard about it. Lyons Corporation is trying to compete with us by venturing into the electric appliances industry. They’re biting off more than they can chew.” Charlie snorted. “No matter how much effort they put in, the technology they adopt will never be able to surpass ours. What’s more, we’ve released the data of our latest electrical products. None of the businesses out there will want to collaborate with Lyons Corporation.”
“No, President Campos.” The employee took out a datasheet. “This is the latest model of their transformer and X-ray generator. Based on the data, their top products are much greater than ours.”
“What are you saying?” Mason sprang to his feet, and his elegant face was extremely grim. “Let me see.”
The employee handed him the datasheet.
After Mason looked at it, his face was flushed with anger.
“What’s the matter, Chairman Campos?”
The executives of Campos Corporation began to panic. “Didn’t you say that Garson would provide us with the best technology in the world? Why can’t our product data beat those of Lyons Corporation?”
“The worst thing now is that Campos Corporation has already invested 5oo billion dollars in the products! “
“Doesn’t it mean that our money’s all gone? Since Lyons Corporation’s product data are greater and their products are cheaper than ours, who else is going to buy our products?”
“On top of that, Lyons Corporation will launch their products globally after three days. The soonest we can develop our products will be one month later.
We’ve completely lost our competitive edge.”
“Who on earth suggested venturing into the electric appliances industry earlier? Who got Garson to work with us? Could we have fallen into a trap?”
Facing the crowd’s comments, Charlie’s face was red with anger. “Uncle, this is impossible. When Garson Corporation signed the contract with us, they told us that they’d provide us with top-notch technology. I’ve done some research as well. This type of technology hasn’t been adopted by any other companies in the world…”
“Shut up.”
Mason lifted a glass and flung it at him.
With a loud bang, the glass directly hit Charlie in the head. His head buzzed as blood began to trickle down from the top of his head.
Complete silence befell the meeting room. This was everyone’s first time seeing Mason, who had always been cool-headed, get so furious.
“Mason…” Maurice immediately drew some tissue and covered his son’s head.
“500 billion dollars.” Mason snickered. “We’ve invested all the profits from selling the microchips in the products.”
Charlie’s lips quivered. “Oh no, Chairman Campos.” The door of the meeting room was pushed open once again. It was Mason’s assistant who dashed in. ” Leslie Dam is going to build the largest hydroelectric power station in Australia, and they’ve already contacted Lyons Corporation to work on building it together.”
“What?” The executives were shocked. “Leslie Dam has originally planned to work on building the largest hydroelectric power station with us. We’ve verbally agreed on it earlier. If we could secure this project, we would be able to earn at least 400 billion dollars.”
The assistant forced a smile. “Besides that, a lot of local and foreign hospitals have frantically booked the X-ray generators that Lyons Corporation developed because they are cheaper than ours.
Moreover, the cost of their products is more affordable. The product also turned out to be very effective after they conducted a try-out on the spot. Lyons Corporation’s shares have hit the daily limit just a moment ago, and a huge amount of funds has even been invested in them. It means that the public is very optimistic about their prospects.”
“Copycat. They copied our product.” Charlie thumped on the table furiously. “I understand it now. Garson Corporation must have tricked us. I’m sure they provided Lyons Corporation with better technology. I’m going to look for them.”
Mason did not stop him.
The commotion in the meeting room lasted for a long while before he rose to his feet and said, ” Dismissed.”
Once Mason returned to his office, he broke his laptop screen with a punch.
“Aw, what’s wrong, Hubby?” Joanne, who was dressed to the nines, was shocked at the sight of Mason’s behavior. “Hubby, who pissed you off? Simmer down. I’ll have lunch with you, okay?”
“Get lost.” Mason pushed Joanne away. Since she was wearing a pair of high heels, she fell onto the ground and instantly wept in pain.
“If you want to cry, do it outside. I’m not in the mood to watch you cry,” Mason bellowed at her in exasperation.
Joanne was stunned. She had hardly seen Mason get so infuriated.
“You may go out first, ” Maurice said as he walked in.
Joanne immediately ran out.
For some reason, Mason felt a sense of disgust at the sight of her expression. When he was in power, he needed a gentle and understanding woman. However, such a woman was useless when a crisis was almost upon him.
“The situation doesn’t look good.” Maurice said with a frown, “Lea and Shaun have been putting up with everything in silence these days. They’ve made us think that Lyons Corporation has become a shadow of its former self when, in fact, they’ve been tight-lipped about their big plan. We’ve underestimated the two of them.”
“Don’t you get it yet? It’s not just Lyons Corporation but also Garson.” Mason clenched his fists. “We got cheated. It can’t be a coincidence. Garson provided us with top-notch electrical technology, yet Lyons Corporation got it earlier than us. I guess Shaun has long since struck a deal with Garson.”
Maurice was stunned. “We’re obviously more powerful than Lyons Corporation. I don’t get how Garson will benefit from working with Lyons Corporation privately. By doing this, Garson will also ruin its own reputation. Who’s going to work with Garson from now on?”
“I don’t get it either. But since Garson has done this, do you think we still get to threaten them? I suppose they have fully prepared for this. Garson has set us up.” Mason became so exasperated the more he spoke that he punched the wall. “With Shaun’s ability, he can easily jump at the chance to make a comeback. I’ve endured the humiliation for over ten years… D*mn it.”
“Sure enough, we should’ve gotten rid of him back then.” Maurice was filled with regret.
“Do you think I’ve never thought of it? I’ve tried to kill Shaun a few times now, but he has managed to escape every time. ” Mason looked back and said to Maurice, “Let Wesley know that if our family collapses, he’s going to suffer as well. The only way out now is to make Shaun disappear into thin air. “
“Brother, Wesley won’t listen to us.” Maurice bit his tongue before he continued, “When Wesley’s company was in trouble earlier, he asked us for help a few times, but we rejected him.”
The Campos family could not be bothered about Wesley before this, but who knew that they would encounter such a crisis so suddenly?
“Let’s…” Mason narrowed his eyes. “Put Lea through hell.”
Maurice shuddered. “Do we need to call that bunch of people to take action?”
“Mm. We’ve spent so much money. It’s time to make use of them. Get all of them to act,” Mason ordered grimly.
