The day for Dave to decide on the construction company that would handle the building of the new factory had finally arrived. The man actually chose the company that Arthur had suggested through Eve. I don't know what Eve said that made Dave finally agree, not even listening to the wise advice of the people around him to choose another construction company. Even Chloe's words were ignored by Dave. Eve's words still played the most important role even though their relationship was often heated.
"I did what you said the other day. What should I do now? If anything happens in the company, they will all immediately blame me because everything happened because Dave listened to my advice. In fact, this time even Dave will be furious with me," Eve said over the phone.
"Don't worry. There's still about two weeks before the show starts. I'll get you secured before that happens," Arthur said.
"I hope you don't disappoint me, Artha. I've done all your instructions very well," Eve said again. She sounded very worried that Arthur would leave her alone.
"Of course not, Eve. There are some things I need to prepare first. After that, I'll take you away from Dave. Trust me and be patient for a while." Arthur replied softly.
In his heart, Arthur admitted, Eve had indeed done everything very well, just like when the woman used to work together with Dave to eliminate him. Perhaps it would not be an exaggeration if Arthur gave Eve the award of the best woman in terms of betrayal. And soon Arthur would also teach her what it was like to be betrayed by someone you trusted.
Arthur's smile grew. Everything was getting closer. He couldn't wait to see Dave's face fall into ruin, and Eve's reaction when she found out who he really was.
"I'm waiting for you, Artha. Don't forget that," Eve said again. This time in a soft voice that sounded somewhat pleading, as if she no longer had the power and effort to do anything else. He could only wait for Arhur to take him away.
If only Arthur hadn't experienced Eve's betrayal himself, maybe he wouldn't have had the heart to do such a cruel thing to that woman, nor would he have thought that Eve was someone who couldn't be trusted. However, after everything that happened, Arthur would not be fooled by that woman again. He had perfectly planned what he should do to avenge Eve's betrayal of him.
"Of course I won't forget. don't worry. You're the first person I'll go to once everything is completely worked out," Arthur said then before hanging up.
Arthur stared at his phone screen for a moment, before he lifted his face and smiled faintly at the man sitting across from him. The man who had been listening to Arthur's conversation with Eve. Who else if not Joe.
"Dave Greens has walked right into our trap, Mr. Philips," Arthur told the man.
Joe nodded in response while smiling back as well. He really didn't expect that Arthur would actually execute the plan they had devised so perfectly. In fact, to the point of utilizing Dave Greens' fiancée.
Actually, the construction company currently chosen by Dave at Eve's instigation was a fictitious company arranged by Joe. It was actually just a small company owned by a former drug smuggling convict. Joe had teamed up with that person to extract as much money as possible from Great Food Company. The ex-con will get a lot of money, while Joe will achieve his goal of destroying Great Food Company. They both benefited from the cooperation.
"I've done my part, now it's your turn to do yours, Mr. Philips. Make Dave Greens disburse 10 million dollars of company money at the beginning to the fictitious construction company. He should lose that much money in less than two weeks." Arthur said to Joe.
"Don't worry. Everything has been arranged. It won't take two weeks, not even a week for Dave Greens to give you the money," Joe said.
"Good." Arthur smiled again. This time he looked satisfied. His plan really had been perfect. If everything went smoothly, then he would complete the mission given by the system in less than a month. That meant he would succeed.
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly," Arthur muttered later.
"It looks like it will go smoothly, Pour Wang. There's no need to worry," Joe said. He was optimistic that everything would go smoothly.
It was not without reason that Joe felt very confident that everything would go according to plan. The former prisoner he was working with now was a very reliable person. In addition, he is also very smart and able to maneuver when facing problems, so the original plan will still work even if it takes a slightly different path. So, things will definitely go well.
"By the way, Mr. Wang, may I ask you something?" Joe then asked Arthur.
"Go ahead, what do you want to ask?" Arthur responded.
"Do you not mind and will you answer even if it is personal?" Joe asked again.
"Maybe I'll answer if the question isn't too difficult," Arthur replied.
Joe nodded, then paused for a moment.
"Are you really going to take Dave Greens' fiancée away?" Joe asked after a few moments of silence.
"So what, she's quite attractive and very pretty too." Arthur replied with some indifference.
"Yes, she is very pretty. I also know that it's your personal business. But as a colleague, I just want to remind you, that woman is dangerous, Mr. Wang," Joe said with a serious expression on his face. It looked like he was not kidding about reminding Arthur about Eve.
Arthur looked back at Joe for a moment. He wondered what the man knew about Eve. Arthur was a little intrigued to bait the man.
"What kind of danger does that mean, Mr. Philips?" asked Arthur pretending not to understand.
"Maybe most people don't know it, but this woman used to be the fiancée of Arthur Greens, the former owner of the Great Food Company who suddenly disappeared." Joe said.
Arthur was stunned for a moment. Only certain people knew that Eve was his fiancée. That was because they hadn't officially announced the engagement yet, since Liliana hadn't given her blessing. Rumors about Arthur being engaged had indeed spread, but people didn't know who exactly the woman was. I don't know how Joe knew anything about Eve.
"How did you know that Dave Greens' fiancée was previously Arthur Greens' fiancée?" Arthur asked again.
"Arthur Greens is my rival. Of course I researched a lot about him to find his weaknesses. Although it was certainly not easy to dig up information about him, but at least I managed to obtain some. Including the woman who became his fiancée," Joe said.
Arthur nodded his head. What Joe said did make sense. As a rival who wanted Arthur to fall, it was certain that Joe would try to find weaknesses that Arthur had, although it seemed that at that time Joe did not succeed.
"To be honest, Mr. Wang, I actually feel suspicious that Arthur Greens' mysterious disappearance has something to do with that woman. I'm not trying to make things up or think too far, but I think that woman must have planned the whole thing. It's very suspicious when she suddenly appears as Dave Greens' fiancée, while Arthur Greens' fate is still uncertain. That's why I say she's dangerous," Joe added.
Arthur sighed for a moment and then smiled.
"I really appreciate your concern now, Mr. Philips. I'm even very grateful that you've cared for me. But you don't have to worry, I approached Eve Blooming only because it was in the best interest of our plan. I also already know some information about her. And regarding what you said earlier, I also already know it," Arthur said.
"Oh, well, I thought you didn't know, so I was a little worried. If that's the case, you must have had your own considerations even if you were really going to take him away," Joe responded. He was relieved that Arthur didn't know anything about Eve.
"I will indeed take her away, but I already have other plans for that woman. You can rest assured, she is in my control," Arthur said.
Joe nodded his head with a smile. He got to thinking, it seemed that Arthur Wang who was in front of him right now also had a personal grudge against Eve Blooming.
"Hopefully whatever your plan is, it will all end well, Mr. Wang." Joe said sincerely.
Arthur nodded as he thanked him. Actually, he rather did not expect that the man who had been his rival all this time would have such a sincere and gentle side.
