The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 

Extra 12: Bad 

Obviously, this news didn’t sit well with a certain someone. 

Gabriel was furious; Cooper was rising to the top again, and it looked like nothing could stop him, which made him angry. 

“Damn it, I was so close to destroying them,” he muttered, pounding his fists on his desk. “All because of that meddling woman… teh.” 

What made him even angrier was that Henry Gonson hadn’t accepted his proposal. 

Because, yes… he had managed to track down Henry to offer him a better deal at a more affordable price, but he was turned down. 

-Flashback- 

He managed to get into the hotel where Henry was staying and waited for him to come down for breakfast so he could have a word with him. 

“Good afternoon,” he said, taking a seat beside Henry. 

Henry lowered his coffee cup and raised an eyebrow. “Good morning. Can I help you with something?” “Yes, actually, Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Gabriel Gates,” Gabriel said, extending his hand. 

“Ah… a pleasure, sir,” Henry replied without shaking his hand. “Tell me, Mr. Gates, what can I do for you? Because, as you can see, you’re interrupting my breakfast.” 

“Yes, I apologize… but I promise you won’t regret hearing me out. I have an interesting proposal that will earn you a lot of money and won’t take much of your valuable time.” 

“A proposal?” Henry made a face, looking disapprovingly at the man. “Sorry, sir, but I think you’re mistaken because I don’t…” 

“I’m talking about a business proposal,” Gabriel said quickly. 

“Huh? Business?” Henry’s eyebrows furrowed. 

“Yes… I heard you visited Cooper Enterprises and-” 

“And where did you hear that?” Henry asked, showing his displeasure. 

“Let’s just say it’s a secret,” Gabriel said nervously, noticing the drastic change in Henry’s demeanor at the mention of the Coopers. “But getting back to the point, if you like, I can give you a better offer–or if you already have the blueprints, I can offer a better price than the Coopers for building your four buildings and 

“No, thank you,” Henry said, cutting him off. 

“What…? Why?” Gabriel asked, frowning. “I can build the same building for a lower price, and-” 

“First of all: I hate this kind of unethical competition you’re engaging in, trying to steal clients from your competitors,” Henry said, looking him straight in the eye. “And secondly, I don’t want to work with your

because I’ve heard many bad things about the issues with the structures of your projects,” he said, letting out n sigh. “And the project I have in mind needs to be 100% safe–I want a stable business, not one. where I’ll have to worry about accidents or collapses due to poor quality.” 

“But you’re wrong! Our materials are of the best quality, and 

“Enough,” Henry sald, standing up. “Gabriel, you’re not the only one with connections in the police and politics. I know about all the accidents and lawsuits currently filed against you for the poor materials you use in construction,” he said, taking some money out of his wallet and leaving it on the table. “So please, don’t bother me again because I’m not interested in working with your company,” he declared, leaving. 

-End of Flashback- 

Gabriel never thought Henry would know about the lawsuits and complaints. 

And that made him angry. Henry’s project was massive, and thanks to it, the Coopers would regain their popularity. 

“Damn it… if I let those buildings go up, it’ll be the end of me because everyone will go back to them,” he muttered to himself. 

“Um, sir…” His assistant entered his office. 

“What do you want now?” Gabriel asked, glaring at him 

“Well… here’s the resolution on the pending lawsuits,” the assistant said. 

“Tch… that’s garbage. I should be making money, not losing it,” Gabriel said, turning his back on him. 

“Yes… and the private investigator you hired brought me this,” the assistant said, holding up a black folder. 

“What is it?” 

“It’s the information you requested about Mrs. Deborah Cooper,” the assistant said, noticing that this did capture his boss’s attention. Gabriel quickly turned around. 

“Let me see that,” Gabriel said, snatching the papers from his hands and reading them quickly. “Heh… interesting, so Jayden Cooper’s first child isn’t his biological son,” he read, a twisted smile forming on his face.
