Chapter877 Either One of Them Won Out

Needless to say, that was Marlena.

"You did all that?" August asked solemnly.

Marlena answered with an oversweet voice, "Bingo. I just helped a little as I know you want Sam's order badly. Are you glad to receive that gift, Joe?" There's no call for that." replied August chi Hi ly.noveldrama

But his apathy didn't scare her off. Marlena only laughed, 1 My dear Joe, Sam won't even cast a look at you before you've spent months trying to hook up with him all by yourself. Shouldn't you thank me for saving so much time and effort for you? What a ungrateful man you are!'

Yet August's voice just got colder, You might need to be informed that my goal doesn't lie in this order from Sam, but the recognition of Terry via it, through which I could finally join Cardiff Business Coalition as a core member in the end." He then smacked his lips, "But Marlena, the troubled relationship between Terry and you might deprive me of that chance, should Terry get to know it's you who helped me."

Marlena got speechless immediately. Cardiff Business Coalition was founded by the Smith family and she just can't know its secrets better. She now finally got to know her dear Joe intended to have a finger in the pie of their underworld business. But that was really beyond her to meet Joe's demand, since she was not the one in charge of the coalition. After a moment's silence, Marlena resumed her sweet voice, "Why? To win the attention of Terry? But isn't it better to be on my side?'

August only snorted. 'Everyone in Lamar City knows which party to choose between Terry and you."

Marlena had long been notorious for her incapacity in this city, and she didn't get pissed off at August's words. In fact, she laughed again before she hung off the phone, "Joe, let me remind you that I can offer you whatever you want.'

With a frown on his forehead. August then recounted the conversation to Lucia.

Lucia's face got grim too. 'I'm afraid we've underestimated the clout of Marlena." As the commercial giant in Lamar City, Terry still needed to strengthen his business base by cooperating with Sam. And Marlena managed to morph Sam into a deferential partner of Joe just overnight with whatever means. Sam even took the initiative to ask Joe for the contract. She should

have had the ability to give Joe the order as a gift which Terry would have to take great pains to achieve that. One could therefore easily imagine how powerful Marlena's group was.

August nodded, and held Lucia into his arms. "Quite commendable your analysis is. And that is why I deliberately let her know my intention to join the coalition."

Lucia grasped his idea immediately. Terry was such a complicated and cunning guy that you would have to rival him with all your wits. And Marlena was bound to help Joe with a place in the coalition since she was so desperate to win his heart. August would thus get a better position to vie with Terry for the interests. Either one between Terry and Marlena won out in the end, it would only save August quite some effort to deal with them.
