It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 124

In the Evans Group meeting room, a self-criticism meeting took place. Malcolm did not chair the meeting himself. He just sat at a fixed position in the meeting room, while the entire meeting was presided over by Enoch. However, the previous slight smile on Malcolm’s face was replaced by sadness and coldness. All the senior executives present were trembling in fear.

“According to a joint investigation by the scientific research team sent by our company and our local partner, the mineral vein in South Africa is rich in diamond resources. However, all mining was risky. For example, we need to consider whether there is an unexpected radiation source in the bottom of the mine, whether the dust layer in the mineral vein has been weathered too much, whether there will be a landslide problem, etc. We’re having some more discussions about the pros and cons.” Calvin Lamont, the evaluation team manager, wrote the final report.

A large stack of detailed evaluation reports was placed in front of Malcolm. He picked up the file and carefully read the reports. There was an appraisal result written by each authoritative appraiser and the feasibility report.

South Africa contained the richest mineral resources on the planet. Top quality diamonds in the world mainly came from South Africa. The diamonds of the first-line luxury brands in the world were also supplied by South Africa. And these mineral veins were basically monopolized by a very few people, resulting in protectionism If one wanted to get involved in such a resource, in addition to a large amount of human and material resources, they must have the support of local government and underworld power in South Africa. Otherwise, it was impossible for a foreign force to operate in South Africa.

Even the Evans family was no exception. They had involved every industry that could be involved in the world, but they had never been involved in the mining industry. It was not because they were not rich enough, nor because they did not have the protection of the local underground power, but because the Evans family was completely unable to obtain the most advantageous mineral resources .

And they got this opportunity purely by accident. This mineral vein was located in South Africa, but its ownership was in the hands of an Italian businessman, who had South African b***d, and the mine came from his maternal wealth. Perhaps it was because of the open-minded education of the West, he did not stick to the traditional thoughts of the people of South Africa, who insisted on keeping the mineral veins for themselves. Instead, he offered an olive branch to people around the world, not just for stocks, but for sales of the entire mineral vein.

There must be risks in front of great interests. It can be a sweet fruit, or a beautiful poppy full of temptations but traps. When he first heard the news, Malcolm didn’t really believe it. But after further contact, he confirmed this fact. If a person wanted to set a trap, they didn’t need to try so hard. After deceiving an internationally powerful person, it must not be so easy to escape unscathed.

Either way, it was a good deal.

“Have you contacted the seller?” » Malcolm suddenly asked.

“Not yet. It seems he never showed up and always let his subordinates take care of us. And the Evans group is not the only one interested in the mineral vein. He took measures to keep it secret. And it’s so confidential that we can’t even get any information, not even know who is competing with us,” Calvin shook his head and quickly explained.

This Italian businessman was truly a strange person. No matter what kind of method they used, he wouldn’t show up. And he only asked his subordinates to tell competitors that he would hold an open tender when the time was right. This meant that no matter how hard they tried now, they could only confirm the authenticity of the existence of the mineral vein, but the final result was still unknown. Worse still, they didn’t even know who their competition was.

After listening to Calvin’s report, Malcolm turned his head and looked at Enoch. Their eyes met in the air, then quickly calmed down.

“That’s all for today’s meeting. Don’t relax in South Africa. The evaluation team should make a comprehensive evaluation report on the issues that Director Lamont just mentioned and submit it tomorrow. The person responsible for contacting the seller should report the latest situation as soon as possible. The meeting is over.” Enoch quickly gave all the orders and announced the end of the meeting.

The people in the meeting room walked out one after another. Soon there were only Malcolm and Enoch left in the meeting room. Enoch closed the door with his feet, turned on his laptop, entered the password and connected the video call.

“Gentlemen,” Byron quickly appeared on the screen and said respectfully.

Without saying anything, Malcolm quickly sent him the electronic version of the evaluation report. Byron received it quickly, awaiting further instructions from Malcolm.

“Find out the seller and the dark force behind him,” Malcolm ordered coldly.

Byron quickly looked through the evaluation report and frowned. Enoch raised his eyebrows and looked at Byron with a frown. It was rare to see such an expression on Byron’s face. However, neither of them spoke. They were just waiting for Byron’s response.

“I know this man. He is a strange old man from Italy, with no powerful background. He simply combines the wealth of his mother’s family and some of the wealth of his father’s family. He does not interact with no businessman. Once an arms buyer tried to borrow money from him for a short time, but he refused. He’s a monster anyway. I guess he may have -be met with unexpected resistance, or that he wouldn’t be willing to sell the mineral vein so easily,” Byron said quickly.

“All the gangsters call him Sweeper. I don’t know the reason. This mineral vein is absolutely rich in resources. There are also many people in the underworld who want to take advantage of him. But he decided not to have any interaction with the underworld. There should be a powerful force supporting it. Otherwise, he could not have been unharmed for so long with such a resource in hand.” Byron continued to express his opinion.

“Can you get in touch with him? Enoch asked.

“Gentlemen, don’t think about contacting him. Even if we can contact him, he will not respond to us. Strange people have their own principles. If he is prepared to issue a tender at the right time, as the report says, he will certainly do so,” Byron replied respectfully.

“I see. Keep us posted. If what you said is true, this man may not be as calm as he seems,” Enoch ordered.

“Yes.”

The video call was quickly interrupted. Enoch glanced at Malcolm and seemed to be waiting for the latter to make a decision. Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the meeting room door. They looked at each other and Enoch told the person to come in.

“CEO, deputy general manager, this businessman contacted us and sent us an invitation.”

Calvin quickly entered, handed the printed electronic version of the invitation to Enoch, who was closest to him, and then quickly left the meeting room.

Enoch quickly unfolded the invitation, on which there was only a clear indication of the time and place, and there was no more information. He exchanged a look with Malcolm. Did this mean that the Italian company already had a suitable choice in its heart? Or would he wait until the day of the party to announce how to bid?

“Malcolm?” » Enoch asked Malcolm’s opinion.

“I’m going to go to Italy in person. You come with me. Transfer Byron to South Africa and send more people there to help him. Send Calvin to South Africa to do something on the surface first,” Malcolm ordered quickly.

“Understood,” Enoch said.

After saying this, he quickly left the meeting room to arrange the following things. Malcolm picked up the invitation from the table, lost in thought. A bad feeling rose in his heart, which made him frown.

This matter was certainly not as simple as it seemed.

In the Evans family mansion, with the help of the maid, Wilma walked step by step towards her favorite greenhouse. She looked at the blooming flowers indifferently. Recently, she had become more and more exhausted and her health seemed to be deteriorating little by little. She even had auditory hallucinations. Wilma knew she didn’t have much time left, but what she couldn’t let go of was still on her mind.

“Chuck, before Mom died, she told me that all the Evans family grudges would end with me. But why was I driven to despair again when I saw the faint hope? How can I meet the ancestors of the Evans family underground after I die?” Wilma looked ahead and continued to whisper.

After leaving the company, Malcolm returned directly to the Evans family mansion. Her grandmother, who had supported the Evans family, now revealed her exhaustion. He looked outside the greenhouse for a long time indifferently. After stopping the servant from telling his grandmother, he entered the greenhouse. When Wilma saw Malcolm, there was a complicated expression, including helplessness, on her face.

“Grandma,” Malcolm said indifferently.

Before Wilma could say anything, a loud gasp sounded. The maid quickly handed him the medicine and gave him simple treatment. When she calmed down, she looked even weaker.

“Malcolm, she was already gone. Why don’t you want to marry a new woman? Why don’t you want to give birth to a child to end the Evans family nightmare?” There was a strong sense of helplessness in his voice.

“Grandma, why did you say the Evans nightmare would end in your hand? Given the current situation, this does not necessarily seem to be true. So there must be a better way,” Malcolm said.

“How I wish there was a better way! I really hope you all can find someone you love and spend the rest of your lives together. But who can tell me what this best solution is?” Wilma said with a bitter smile.

Malcolm looked at Wilma for a long time. He knew she wasn’t lying. The curse on the Evans family gave them too much pressure. If there had a solution,

“Grandma, do you know who resolved some of the Evans family’s grudges?” Malcolm asked after thinking for a moment.

Wilma didn’t answer but shook her head. Suddenly, she called the housekeeper who had served her for decades and whispered in her ear. The housekeeper soon left. Malcolm glanced at the housekeeper who was leaving in confusion, but said nothing.

Soon the housekeeper returned. There was a box in his hand. She gave the box to Malcolm as Wilma instructed. Malcolm took it and looked at Wilma in confusion, waiting for her to continue speaking.

“Maybe you can find some clues in this empty box. It was a long time ago, and this person didn’t say anything. This empty box was found by the Evans family on this cliff after the incident. Malcolm, I really hope the Evans family nightmare could end here. I’m too tired…” Wilma’s voice became weaker and weaker.

“Send my grandmother back to her room. All the doctors should be on standby. If anything bad happens to her, you will be the one to blame,” Malcolm ordered coldly. “Yes.” The maid hurried forward

and helped Wilma return to her room.

Malcolm looked at the box in his hand for a long time. He took the box and left the mansion indifferently.
