Chapter 301
“What’s the situation?” Andrius asked hurriedly.
“Ms. Timberland is here. If you are not in the middle of something, come to my place and we’ll talk you through.”
“Sure.”
Andrius hopped on his electric bike and headed to Noir’s garage.
When he arrived, he asked, “What happened?”
Sonia felt confident after seeing Andrius. She explained, “When I was going through the Crestfalls and the Millers‘ assets, I found out that one of the three office buildings in Sumeria, the Stardust Complex, belonged to the Millers.
“There’s no way I’ll let such a good location go to waste, so I plan to make the building an office for Celestial Enterprise. However, when I visited the location this morning, the building was occupied by the Carmines of the capital.
“I contacted the person in charge, but they were rude and they looked down on our company.” That being said, Sonia was furious. “I sent my men to negotiate with them, but they refused to step away and they have grown even more audacious. I was planning to…”
Sonia then looked at Andrius. “I was planning to ask them out to settle the matter once and for all.”
Andrius finally knew what was going on.
Since he had three days off from work, he could attend the meeting with Sonia. He said, “I have some time on my hand, I’ll tag along. I want to see…”
He curled his lips into a vicious grin, showing off his teeth. “I want to see how audacious the Carmines are that they dare to challenge me.”
“Great!”
With the Wolf King by her side, nothing would go wrong.
Sonia called the person in charge right away and stated her intention.
They arranged a meeting at a cafe named Summertime Sunshine.
Andrius and Sonia arrived at the cafe together.
When the two of them were searching for a seat, a frivolous voice spoke in disdain behind them, “You’re Sonia Timberland? Quite the looker but not too bright.”
The owner of the voice obviously disrespected them.
They turned around and saw a young man sitting in the room.
The young man had gelled hair, a fair complexion, and pierced ears. He was wrapped in branded items from top to bottom, from watches to shoes, from Rolex to Armani. Anyone would take him for a rich second generation.
The man was Peter Carmine, the young master of the Carmines.

Next to the room were a dozen buff and tall bodyguards whose hands were covered with calluses. The calluses were a sign of them being well–trained.
Peter sized Sonia up from top to bottom with a judgmental gaze. “Ms. Timberland, what nonsense did you bring today? Hurry up and spit them out and get on with it.”
The man was indeed arrogant.
Andrius narrowed his eyes.
Sonia took a deep breath to suppress her anger and said, “Mr. Carmine, I’ll cut to the chase. The Stardust Complex used to be the Millers‘ asset, and now it is under Celestial Enterprise’s name. You…”
“Enough!” Peter rudely interrupted Sonia and said, “The Stardust Complex used to be under the Millers‘ name but you said it yourself, it ‘used to‘. Now, it belongs to the Carmines, so stop dreaming about having a piece of the pie! Stop wasting my time!”
Peter got up and wanted to leave.
The Timberlands were a powerful family, but the Carmines of the capital were not afraid of them. In addition to Simon–Tooke’s support, it only fueled Peter’s arrogance.
Sonia was infuriated.
“Hold it right there,” she bellowed. Her delicate face was frosty as snow. “Mr. Carmine, are you really going to snatch the Stardust Complex away just like that? You’re not going to give it back?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Peter paused and turned around for a glance at Sonia. He said meaningfully, “Yeah, I’m occupying it. What can you do about it?”
With that, Peter’s eyes gleamed coldly and he directly said, “Ms. Timberland, I hope you can
stop dreaming. The Stardust Complex is not a place you can take charge of. If you piss me off… Look at the men behind me, are they enough to destroy the Timberlands?”
Another blatant threat!
“You!”
