"Okay, I got it, keep a close watch on the situation over there."
Hunter Warren hung up the phone.
Faye Townsend looked up at him and seeing his expression grow solemn, she asked with some concern, "What’s wrong? Your face suddenly turned so serious."
Hunter Warren’s lips curved slightly, "There’s a tricky issue at the company.
Let’s eat quickly; I need to go back after we finish our meal."
Seeing his demeanor, Faye Townsend asked worriedly, "Is it something serious?"
"It’s alright, they’re all easily dealt with."
"No matter how big or small, you should go back and handle it first."
"No, I need to see you finish eating before I can leave. Who knows if you’ll be upset and unable to eat after I’m gone." He watched her, lips curling warmly, "Even the most pressing issues are not as important as you are."
Touched deep inside, Faye Townsend thought to herself, without him, she couldn’t imagine how bleak life would be.
She felt so grateful that she hadn’t fallen for Sebastian Sheldon to the point of no return, and she was grateful that her past with Zenia Yates wasn’t serious.
Faye Townsend quietly started eating, while Hunter Warren only took a few bites.
It seemed his task today was merely to oversee her meal.
After she had her fill and was sent back to the company by him, he left.
Once back at the Warren Group, he summoned Shang Yi to his office.
"Today, it was the young master who took the initiative to meet with Director Turner.
We don’t know exactly what they discussed.
But their meeting wasn’t long, just over twenty minutes.
Normally, that wouldn’t even be enough time for a meal."
Hunter Warren’s eyes slightly narrowed, his hand gently stroking his chin.
Shang Yi said, "Second Master, if these two join forces, it won’t be good for us."
Of course, he knew that, but Lucas Warren was indeed smart to consider aligning with his rival.
Oliver Turner now hated him to the core, wishing he could flay his flesh, so considering their meeting, a coalition wouldn’t be difficult to achieve.
"Second Master, what should we do now?"
Hunter Warren raised an eyebrow, "Since there’s a possibility they could ally, let’s create some trouble for them, keep them too busy to join forces."
"Please enlighten me, Second Master."
Hunter Warren let out a casual, cold chuckle, "Spread the news that our new product has already been released in collaboration with another company."
Shang Yi didn’t understand, "Second Master, announcing the news this early will only reduce the losses of the BlueHorizon Group, won’t it?"
Hunter Warren looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Reduce? Of course not. The BlueHorizon Group has invested a large sum of money to compete with us for market share.
The leak of our new product’s trade secrets was clearly meant as a provocation to me by Oliver Turner.
However, he must not have anticipated that by that time, we had already produced the new product in large quantities. We couldn’t store it all; hence, the day after his news went out, I collaborated with another company to rebrand and release the new product.
He has invested heavily in the production of the new product without knowing the situation.
By now, most of their computer products should be only semi-finished.
Leaking the news now won’t decrease their loss but will add to their pressure instead.
Their investment in costs has been made, and electronic products are not like other items—semi-finished goods can’t be sold.
So, they will have to push ahead and produce this batch of products.
Even though a loss of several million isn’t much for Oliver Turner,
the initial investment in introducing new equipment was also substantial, so this time, Oliver Turner should learn a considerable lesson.
Spreading the news now will nicely leave him no time to deal with Lucas Warren’s issues."
Shang Yi nodded and smiled, "Second Master is wise, but... about the young master..."
Hunter Warren’s fingers gently pinched his chin, "Finding a way to send him back to the United Kingdom is the right course of action.
I need to think about this carefully, you may go."
"Yes, Second Master." After Shang Yi left, Hunter Warren stood up from his executive chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out.
If Lucas Warren doesn’t want him to have peaceful days, then he shouldn’t expect any comfort either.
This time, he had to fight a beautiful battle to turn things around.
It didn’t matter what happened to him, but he absolutely would not let his wife and children endure any hardship because of him.
He went to the door, picked up his bag, left the company, and drove himself to the Skyward Group to see Mr. Forrest.
However, Mr. Forrest had been resting at home these days, so he went directly from the Skyward Group to the Forrest family’s old mansion.
Over the years, Mr. Forrest had always lived there alone.
After asking someone to notify him, Mr. Forrest had people bring Hunter in.
