After all, a top-tier conglomerate wouldn't collapse over the loss of a few billion. But the Gardner family was a different story. They were fully capable of fighting to the bitter end.
Understanding this, Sherman's anger flared, and he gritted his teeth. "He started planning this six months ago? It seems Joshua never intended to spare the Burton family… Grandfather saved a complete viper. If he hadn't saved that menace, our family wouldn't be suffering such a huge loss." Sherman grew more agitated the more he thought about it. "No, I have to go talk to Grandfather about this!"
Just as Sherman was about to leave, Sellers' phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, Sellers' eyes darkened. He stopped Sherman. "Wait."
Sherman paused. Sellers answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Joshua?"
Joshua's nonchalant voice came through the receiver. "What an honor. I'm surprised Mr. Burton still remembers my number."
Sellers' voice was flat, betraying no emotion. "Mr. Gardner, you didn't call just to negotiate terms, did you?"
"Star and Mr. Burton have a good relationship, and Mr. Burton did save me," Joshua said. "Neither of us wants this to turn into an all-out war with the Burton family. I'm making this call out of respect for him. As long as you step down from your position, the grudge between you and Star can be wiped clean. This is between you and her, so why drag your entire family down as collateral, wouldn't you agree?"
Sellers' voice was heavy. "Since you know Mr. Burton saved you, are you still planning to move against the Burton family? Is this how you repay an act of kindness?"
