Raina North couldn’t help but be astounded, admiringly looking at Samuel Lawrence and said, "I’ve met quite a few people, but it’s the first time I’ve encountered someone as shameless as you. Impressive, impressive. In some ways, you’ve broadened my horizons."
Raina North took back the phone she had handed out and gave it to Poppy Willows: "Hold onto it. With this recording, I believe the other families in Azuria will consider very carefully before collaborating with the Lawrence Family again. If you’re unsure what to do, hand it over to your father; I’m sure he’ll know well enough."
Poppy Willows froze for a moment and suddenly understood.
Samuel Lawrence also realized, the notion that there were cameras in the detention room was just a bluff to get this recording.
If Poppy Willows were to take it back, that old geezer from the Willows Family would surely find a way to manipulate this, and the other families in Azuria would certainly doubt further cooperation with the Lawrence Family and would consider more carefully in future dealings.
As the saying goes, a single tree doesn’t make a forest; no matter how powerful the Lawrence Family is, without the support and help from other families, it can’t last long. Read complete version only at Nove1Fire.net
He was furious beyond measure internally but dared not do anything to Raina North; he couldn’t afford to provoke her.
So his eyes twinkling, he immediately put on an extremely shameful expression and said, "Alliance Leader Rivers, I really apologize, I just got too upset earlier and lost control of my emotions, it wasn’t my intention to be disrespectful. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against such a disappointed person like myself."
Raina North sincerely admired him and said, "Master Lawrence, when it comes to shamelessness among the people I know, you’re definitely among the top."
Samuel Lawrence acted as if he didn’t hear Raina North’s sarcasm and wore a broad smile: "It’s my first time meeting Alliance Leader Rivers, but I’ve actually felt great admiration for him. If Alliance Leader Rivers is willing, I’m prepared to announce on behalf of the Lawrence Family that we will join The Celestial Alliance from now on. What do you think?"
Raina North was surprised: "The Lawrence Family is willing to join The Celestial Alliance?"
Raina North couldn’t help but laugh.
Upon seeing this, Samuel Lawrence straightened his back a bit more, his eyes showing satisfaction.
The Lawrence Family’s influence in Azuria is considerable, and its development has been rapid in recent years. He believes no one could refuse the Lawrence Family’s joining.
Once the Lawrence Family becomes a member of The Celestial Alliance, it would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger, and by then, the declining Willows Family wouldn’t be able to compete. If they want to survive, they’d have to send that bitch Poppy Willows to his bed, begging him to trample on her!
Poppy Willows didn’t miss the lustful look in Samuel Lawrence’s eyes; she was filled with fear and despair.
Indeed, there’s no escaping...
Poppy Willows didn’t blame Raina North. She is the Alliance Hierarch of The Celestial Alliance, and naturally has to consider its interests; she can’t resent Raina North for not being able to help.
However, her heart was filled with hatred towards Samuel Lawrence, this unscrupulous guy!
Raina North spoke up, "Master Lawrence, it’s good that you have such ambition, but I’m sorry, The Celestial Alliance is not a trash dump; we don’t take in garbage."
"Wha... what do you mean?" Samuel Lawrence couldn’t believe what he heard: "You’re insulting the Lawrence Family, Alliance Leader Rivers, are you really giving up on the Lawrence Family?"
To such absurd remarks, Raina North couldn’t be bothered to respond. She rose from the sofa, helped Poppy Willows up, and handed her a clean handkerchief: "Here, wipe your tears."
Samuel Lawrence was in a daze, still unable to believe Raina North would abandon such a lucrative piece like the Lawrence Family.
