Chapter 421 421: An Unbeatable Rival

He definitely would not dare to offend Antonio since he knew that they could do anything to him.

"Well, do you need our boss to warn you in person?" The man roared at him since Mr. Kim was shocked and did not reply.

"No, no, no, no, no. I don't mean that." Mr. Kim was so frightened.

"Take your things and get out of here." Mr. Kim hastily took the flowers and necklace and then rushed out of the office.

After he left, Irish sighed with relief and turned to the two men, "You..."

"I am sorry. Are you frightened by us? We come here to protect you from infesting in accordance with Mr. Antonio." When he saw Irish stare at the man in the bag, he hastily explained to her, "Don't misunderstand. He is also a man of ours."

Irish frowned and said, "But I don't know who Mr. Antonio is."

The man did not reply to her but immediately pulled up the man in the bag. Upon standing up, he then replied, "We are not clear about that. I am sorry that we have to go now." Then they left her office quickly.

After they left, Christy then calmed down and asked, "Doctor Irish, who are they?"

Irish walked out of the office, but soon she saw a figure at the corner of the corridor. She then went back to her office and took something into her pocket, and said to Christy, "Don't worry. I have to go out now, but I will come back soon."

It was very quiet in the coffee house since there were just a few people here at this time. The fragrance of coffee was suffused in the air, which made people feel comfortable. Behind Irish was a large floor-to-ceiling window, followed by a branch of rustling gold leaves, serving as a foil of the street, and the sky was so bright that it looked more like a painting.

"Are you frightened?" Daisy asked while taking a sip of the coffee.

Irish stirred her coffee leisurely and replied, "If I didn't see you, I would think that there was another wooer who came from a gang. Obviously, he is a big shot since Mr. Kim is also feared."

"Isn't it good? At least Mr. Kim will not disturb you anymore." Irish nodded, and she was still worried, "Will he call the police?"

"He won't. He is a businessman, and he will stand aloof from things of no personal interest. If he dares to call the police, he will have endless troubles."

"How can Joseph know these people?" She was antipathy. But Daisy smiled after hearing her question, "He has to get in contact with different kinds of people since he is a businessman."

"But it seems that he is very familiar with Antonio."

After thinking for a while, Daisy patted her hands and said, "Don't worry. He just cares about you. Though Mr. Kim is not a real big shot, he is still a big boss, so we have to find some people to frighten him."

Of course, Irish could understand, but she just felt that she did not know Joseph at all. Perhaps, Daisy was right that he had to risk his life in business for great profit. So it was natural for him to know some people from the Mafia.

"Mr. Dover can't handle this for you in person at this crucial time, and he hopes you can understand him."

Irish nodded.

"But..."

Irish perceived Daisy's hesitation, so she put down her scoop and waited for her to continue.

"Runestone Group is a big company, and sometimes one hair pull and the whole body will be affected, so he couldn't act recklessly since he has to take care of the overall situation. Runestone Group does not only belong to the Lake family, and it also includes the stock right of Joseph's family, so he has to be careful because even a minor mistake could bring huge damage to both families."

Irish was shocked since she never knew this before. Though she did not take the initiative to ask him, he also didn't mention it to her. And for a long time, she thought that Runestone Group developed rapidly because of Joseph, but she never expected that it also included the stock rights of Joseph's family.

"Mr. Dover always does things with full assurance of success, but you are "an unbeatable rival" to him, and he would often make some mistakes for you."

Irish was confused by her words and frowned.

"Do you still remember the family feast on Labor day when Shirley was sent to the hospital because of food poisoning?"

She nodded and replied, "Of course."

"Ruby was irritated by Joseph on that day, and I also didn't expect that Mr. Dover would do that."

"What happened on that day?"

Joseph also told her the situation briefly, but he just told her that after sending Shirley to the hospital, he left since he knew she was not in big trouble. "Did anything else happen during that period?"

Then Daisy described the situation to her indifferently.

In fact, Shirley was in bad condition after food poisoning, and she would be dead if she had been sent to the hospital later. But finally, she had been downgraded from critical to serious, and during this period, Joseph had called Daisy to take care of everything.

After ensuring she was out of danger, Joseph asked Daisy to stay in the hospital while he was about to leave. Ruby hastily tried to stop him since she saw he was going to leave, while Joseph explained to her that he still had much work to do. Ruby was unpleasant, so she forced him to answer what kind of work he had to do.

Joseph did not explain too much to her and pushed her aside slightly while Ruby was ablaze, pulling him and saying that his mother-in-law was in bad condition, so he couldn't just leave like that. Daisy happened to see that, and she could see clearly the impatience in his eyes.

"Irish, he asked me not to arrange any work for him in those three days, and I know he wanted to find you," Daisy said with a helpless smile.

Irish felt that her heart beat so fast since she didn't know this at all.

"What was going on?" She couldn't help asking.

"When I was about to help him out of the predicament, a nurse passed them with a cart while Ruby hastily took a bottle of ethyl alcohol to Joseph and said he could leave unless he finished the bottle of ethyl alcohol."

Irish widened her eyes out of surprise after hearing this, "He...." She hesitated and waited for Daisy to continue.

"Mr. Dover took it over and drank it without hesitation."
