Chapter 138: A Bastard, Disowned And Disgraced
Brett entered the house , his usual smug smile plastered on his face. He exuded an air of confidence, of someone who knew that he had all the winning cards.
"Chris," he greeted him, his voice smooth as silk. "I trust you have everything ready to my specifications?"
Chris nodded, pushing the document across the desk. "Here it is," he said, his voice pained.
Brett snatched the document and took a seat, crossing his legs leisurely while his eyes scanning the pages quickly. A slow smile spread across his face as he reached the crucial clause.
"Excellent," he murmured, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Just as we discussed. Now, was that not easy?"
"There is one thing," Chris said, his voice firm. "This stays between us. Levi can never know about that I betrayed him."
Brett chuckled, his eyes meeting Chris’s. "Don’t you worry, Chris," he said. "Levi will never know. This is our little secret."
He handed the document back to Chris, his eyes filled with triumph.
"Why are you doing this?" Chris asked as Brett started to leave. "What could you possibly hope to gain from this?"
Brett stopped and turned around, he examined Chris for a moment before he spoke. "Chaos." He said simply.
"Since I can’t have Van Doren Group, I am going to be content to watch Levi and Brandon burn it to the ground. They will destroy the legacy that was meant to be mine, if I can’t have it then no one else can." Brett said, in a deadly voice which lightened up in the next minute. "And you my betrayer has given me exactly what I needed to make this happen."
