Chapter 153: The Enigmatic Mr. R
Standing opposite the window of his bedroom, Ruediger cast his gaze on the surrounding scenery. He pressed the phone to his ear, listening to Edmund at the end of the line.
"Boss, Mr. Alvord visited us again. As usual, he brought up a business proposal. He implied he wanted to meet you though. Never give up, huh?"
A frown marred Ruediger’s forehead upon hearing the name. Edmund was referring to Vincent, his younger brother.
This was not the first time Vincent approached Edmund, the current CEO of Edenia Avenue as well as Ruediger’s proxy. The man—Edmund Knowles—never forgot to directly report such a matter to him.
"Yeah. Too stubborn," replied Ruediger curtly, his low tone expressing his displeasure.
Vincent didn’t give up easily even though Edmund often rejected his proposal. The former also insinuated he wished to meet the mysterious chairman of Edenia Avenue, known as Mr. R[01].
The people in high society knew Mr. R held the largest shares of Edenia Avenue. They dreamed of meeting him but, no one knew his real identity.
Some said that Mr. R was a foreigner, and some claimed he was a citizen. A few guessed the reclusive CEO of Faulkner Investment also knew him because the latter was a major investor.
Nevertheless, no one managed to get even a glimpse of Mr. R during the years he manned Edenia Avenue from the shadows. Edmund, the CEO, was the only link between the enigmatic figure and the outside world.
To this date, Edenia Avenue’s ownership remained a mystery.
The luxury mall rose quickly despite being new, catching everyone off guard. It challenged the more established ones and cemented its position at the top.
