Chapter 943

Unbeknownst to Yvonne, Eddie also regarded her as lesser. Both of them despised each other, but they feigned friendliness for the sake of their goals as they conspired to take over Luke Corporation.

Eddie thought for a moment and suggested, "To show my sincerity, I'll allow you to decide whom you want to deal with next. Say a name, and I'll get it down."

It didn't matter how he loathed her. He still needed to gain her trust now.

Yvonne's eyes turned icy as she went through the names of those who stood against her in her mind and finally made a decision. "Bryan Jones! I'd like him to suffer for a bit."

He was a rich kid without any worries, so she would let him feel the viciousness of reality. She would make him pay for what he did to her at the film festival.

Eddie nodded. "Oh, him." His tone carried a note of incredulity; he honestly didn't believe she would name that person.

This person was not a part of his plan, to begin with, nor did he want to offend the Jones Family, but he couldn't refuse Yvonne's request.

After all, his collaboration with her had just taken place, and he did not want her to backtrack at this moment.

How could he lose what he had gotten his hands on with great difficulty?

After he hesitated for a moment, he said, "Give me some time to plan on how I'm going to deal with him."

"What?" She glared at him in great disdain. "It's such a simple thing. What do you need to plan?" She had a feeling that he didn't plan to do anything.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Eddie frankly didn't have a plan in mind right now, so her idea could come in handy.

Despite his expectation that she would at least have something cooking, she blurted, "No, I don't have any suggestions. Don't tell me that you won't be able to do such a simple thing?"

She sized him up. "If you can't even do this, I'll have to consider our future collaboration."

Yvonne's threat drove Eddie up the wall, but he couldn't blow a fuse and have her dealt with. He knew that pissing her off wouldn't do him any good as she was a valuable resource to him.

After he thought over his options and took the time to calm himself, he chuckled. "Okay, I'll do it since you want me to."

Although his tone was doting, it did nothing to endear him to her. If anything, she was even more repulsed by him. She leaned on the sofa leisurely and said, "I'll give you one day. I want to see Bryan pay for what he did to me."

One day?! Eddie's gaze turned stone cold, and his resentment toward Yvonne had risen to extreme heights.

That's easy for her to say! How can I come up with a complicated plan in one day?! She, of all people, should know that these plans need a delicate touch unless she wants to be prosecuted by the law or worse! She wants me to piss the Jones Family off completely, doesn't she?

"Miss Kepler, you think too highly of me," he growled in frustration.

Yvonne, on the other hand, shrugged indifferently. "You are the one who came to me and begged for my cooperation. You should figure this out. Do it, or there would be no point in collaborating further."

It didn't help that she truly had far more options than him.

Her words utterly riled up Eddie. He was angered that she constantly threatened him with their cooperation. It happened so often that he couldn't help but question his decision to work with her. Even though the benefits he would reap from her were considerable, the mental strain he had to endure while speaking with her made it seem like it wasn't worth it.

Perhaps, he should truly consider whether it was beneficial for him to work with her.

Brandon, who had been working for Eddie for a long time, could read Eddie's mind like a book. So, he immediately walked forward and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Luke, there is a call for you."

Eddie narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Yvonne, "Excuse me."

Yvonne ignored him and didn't even bother to treat him with a modicum of respect. She despised him from the bottom of her heart, so why should she waste her time on a nobody like him?
