Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Aaron Mocking Colin

The matters in the Hartz Industries were getting worse, and Colin Hartz was at the end of his wits.

"What happened with the projects with the support we asked from the Riverdales and NextEra Corp?" he asked angrily.

"They have not approved to work with or fund any of our projects," the assistant replied.

"What do you mean? Aeldric Riverdale is asking for trouble with us or what?" Colin spat out.

"Mr. Hartz, your son-in-law, Mr. Aiden Riverdale, has taken the entire control of Riverdales into his hands. Aeldric Riverdale has no authority to make any decisions," the man informed. "Aiden Riverdale has rejected everything we offered and asked for cooperation. But his refusal made other companies and investors refuse us as well. Even the foreign companies are not helping us. Harper Group has diverted all of our potential targeted partners toward themselves."

Thud!

"Riverdales and Harpers," Colin gritted his teeth. "Call for Grace. I need to talk to her."

Grace was asked to meet her father. The girl was scared to her bones to think she might be exposed for stealing important information from her father’s safe and his company.

"Yes, Dad? You asked for me?" she asked, her palms sweating and fingers trembling.

The man looked at her coldly and asked, "What’s going on between you and Aiden?"

The question shocked her, as she wondered if Aiden had shown that video of hers to her father.

"W-What do you mean, Dad?" she asked, her heart beating faster.

"Have you upset Aiden in any way that he is not willing to help us when our company needs it?" Colin asked coldly. "What did you do?"

"D-Dad, I did nothing," she replied. "You can ask Aiden. Everything is fine between us."

"Did you by chance try to do something against that woman, Natalie?"

"No, Dad. In fact, it’s her who keeps bullying me all the time. Isn’t that why I asked you to give me some important work in the company to match her?" she replied, finding herself trembling under her father’s scrutinizing gaze.

"You better not lie to me," he said after staring at her for a while.

"I am not lying, Dad," she replied. "Why is Aiden not helping you? Why don’t you meet him in person?"

"That’s what I’m going to do now," he said as he stood up and instructed his assistant, "Find out where Aiden is. We are going there."

Colin left for the NextEra head office, where he had to wait for an hour to meet Justin.—Once the Handrix brothers were done chilling—while at the same time planning against the enemy—one of them asked, "So, are you going to meet that bastard, or do you want me to go?" Justin asked.
