Daddy Is Coming, and No One Will Survive

Chapter 38

Hearing Harley's words, the Wallaces also reacted, turning to look at Junior.

"I promised Laurel that I would deliver," Junior said. "Laurel, isn't that right?"

"Yes!" Laurel replied loudly. "Daddy's promises always come true. I believe in Daddy!"

"Junior, did you really do it?" Wallace asked, his face full of astonishment.

"If I'm guessing correctly, Mya's calling to have Rosemary sign the contract with the people from Eastoria Building," Junior replied with a smile.

Wallace and his family were all shocked at once.

Ring! Ring! The phone continued to ring.

"Junior, should we let Rosemary answer this time?" Wallace looked at Junior. "If they're really calling her to sign the contract, it's not appropriate to make them wait too long. What if they get impatient and..."

"Uncle, you can rest assured they'll wait," Junior interrupted. "Rosemary, tell them that if they want you to sign the contract, Mr. Jackson must personally come and invite you. Otherwise, you won't go!"

"What!?" Harley exclaimed again. "Junior, are you serious? If that old man hears this, he'll be furious!"

"Harley, mind your language!" Wallace reprimanded sternly.

"I agree with Junior. If Eastoria Building really only recognizes Rosemary, then make that old man come and invite her himself!" Sylvie spoke up, siding with Junior for once.

"Sylvie, is that appropriate?" Wallace spoke up.

"What's inappropriate about it? Have you forgotten how they treated us last night?" Sylvie responded loudly before turning to Rosemary. "Also, make sure he prepares the agreement your father signed and the dividends from the past few years!"

"Right!" Junior smiled and added, "Rosemary, go ahead and answer. Do as Auntie said!"

"But..." Rosemary hesitated.

"Don't worry, I promise they'll agree!" Junior smiled again.

"Okay then!" Rosemary nodded and picked up the phone, then relayed Mya's request.

Click! Mya on the other end of the line, after listening, hung up without a word.

"She hung up!" Rosemary furrowed her brows.

"It's okay, don't mind her. Just wait for them to come!" Junior shrugged.

Clang! At Jackson Group headquarters, after listening to Mya's description, Danny smashed his coffee cup fiercely on the ground.

"Rosemary!" Danny roared, his face almost dripping with anger, his blood pressure skyrocketing. He never imagined that he would be threatened, and by his own granddaughter no less! But for the contract with Eastoria Building, he seemed to have no other choice.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Declan was also furious. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he continued, "The people from Eastoria Building are still waiting. Should I ask them to leave first?"

"Get the car ready!" Danny snapped angrily, kicking over a vase.

"Dad, are you really planning to go?" Declan asked, stunned.

"Do you have any other options?" Danny snapped furiously. "Jackson Group must secure the contract with Eastoria Building. After we've signed the contract, we can deal with Rosemary later!"

"What about the dividends they want?" Declan asked again.

"The contract hasn't been signed yet, so why talk about dividends?" Danny responded coldly. "Let's discuss everything after the contract is signed!"

"Got it!" Declan's eyes lit up. He naturally understood his father's meaning. Once the contract is in effect, the ball will be in their court. They'll have the say on how dividends are calculated or whether they're even paid at all!

"Grandpa, should I call Monroe again? See if he has any updates?" Mya suggested after some thought.

"Don't bother. I subtly asked the people from Eastoria Building just now, and before that, they had no idea about our Jackson Group," Danny replied sternly. "I reckon Monroe Boyle never mentioned this to his father. He's been deceiving us all along!"

"What?" Mya exclaimed. "That jerk! He's truly despicable. I won't let him off!"

"Enough about him. You go to the meeting room and keep the people from Eastoria Building there by any means necessary until we come back!" Danny instructed. "Your father and I will go find Rosemary!"

Half an hour later, the father and son entered Rosemary's house.

"Dad!" Wallace stood up.

"Hmph!" Danny snorted and ignored him, then glared at Junior with a face full of anger.

"Grandpa!" Rosemary's expression was complex as she called out to Danny.

"Rosemary, I know you've been mad at Grandpa. Let me apologize first." Danny suppressed his anger and continued, "I promise you, as long as we secure the contract with Eastoria Building, I'll bring you back to the headquarters and appoint you as the department head!"

"Enough with the sweet talk. We want to see tangible things. Where are the stocks and dividends you promised?" Sylvie spoke up loudly.

"I've already had the company prepare the stock certificates and dividends before I came. Once Rosemary signs the contract, she can get them!" Danny took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"I don't trust you at all. What if we help you sign the contract, and then you back out?" Sylvie continued.

"We're family. Is it necessary to speak like this?" Declan said sternly.

"Hmph! Necessary? Am I more excessive than you?" Sylvie scoffed. "Over the years, what have you guys done? Don't you know?"

"You..." Declan's face turned red with anger.

"Are you itching to blow up and hit someone right now?" Sylvie spoke coldly. "Haha, can't handle this little anger? Have you ever thought about how our family has survived these years?" Her voice rose several levels. "For the past five years, I've wanted to kill someone every second!"

Danny exhaled heavily, feeling like he was on the verge of losing control. "So, what do you suggest we do to get Rosemary to sign the contract?"
