A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 180

Soon, it was almost noon. Stephen and Daniel were still alertly waiting in the lobby, staring at the elevator and waiting for one of the four vice presidents to emerge.

However, they waited from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, and still, they didn't see any of the vice presidents.

The father and son duo were both feeling a bit dejected. They ordered takeout and continued to wait.

They both thought that even if the four vice presidents didn't come out for lunch, they still had to come out after work.

But even when the workday ended, they still didn't see even a shadow of any of the four vice presidents.

"Oh, I forgot! They might have left through the underground parking garage." Stephen slapped his leg in frustration.

"Even if we stand at the exit of the underground parking garage, we don't recognize their cars, so we won't be able to catch them either," Daniel said, feeling a bit tired and frustrated.

"Let's ask again. Maybe they haven't finished work yet." Stephen, not willing to give up, stood up and walked over to the receptionist.

The receptionist, seeing that they had been waiting all day, decided to help them once more. "Let me help you ask again."

Stephen and Daniel watched her with hopeful gazes and anticipation.

"Sorry, but all four vice presidents are busy all day and have no time to meet with you." The receptionist put down the phone and looked apologetically at the two of them.

"Forget it, Dad. Let's go home. We'll figure something out next time," Daniel whispered.

After all, he was the CEO of a large company, and he wasn't used to begging like this. It was frustrating and made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He figured that if the cooperation with Harrington Group ended, they could just find another partner.

Plus, the loss this time was on Harrington Group since they had breached the contract and would have to pay a hefty compensation.

"Okay…" Stephen's gaze flickered, and he nodded.

After spending the whole day sitting down, he was feeling a bit tired too.

At that moment, neither Stephen nor Daniel knew that Harrington Group wasn't the only company that would be cutting ties with them in the future.

Thus, they were still quite relaxed, thinking that not being able to meet Harrington Group's vice presidents and ending the cooperation didn't really matter that much.

"Yeah, Dad." The others nodded in agreement.

"The doctor said I'm fine and can move around outside. Why won't you listen? Do you think you know better than the doctor?" Benedict frowned, feeling a little angry.

"Is it that 16-year-old Ms. Demi? I heard from Wilson that she's quite bold, saying she could give guarantees and even claimed her life is more precious than he imagined. Isn't she just some high school girl?

"Honestly, I'm really not comfortable with this Ms. Demi either," said Laura West, Benedict's second daughter.

"If you don't trust Demi, then find me a doctor who can treat me! So far, Demi is the only doctor who dared to say she could cure me. Without her, I would've been dead twice over! Instead of being grateful, you're nitpicking at everything?" Benedict scowled, growing more agitated.

"Alright. Stop talking. Don't upset Dad. His heart isn't the best, and he shouldn't get angry," Benedict's second son, Carson West, intervened to smooth things over.

"You all know my heart's not good, yet all of you keep making me angry," Benedict said coldly.

"Let's go talk to Ms. Demi," Benedict's third daughter, Zara West, suggested.

"You are not allowed to disturb her!" Benedict immediately shouted.
