Chapter 2706: Whoever Strikes Me First, I Strike Them

"You are too arrogant!" Kieran Janus trembled with anger. "What about Erin? If I’m not mistaken, she’s already in the hospital, and your daughter is about to be born! How are you going to give them an explanation? Erin truly likes you, wholeheartedly. She used to be so spoiled and bossy, but she was willing to have children for you and even toned down her temper. Do you think you deserve her?"

"Whether I deserve her or not, first you have to ask whether you deserve me. Kieran, have you lost your memory too?" Sylvan Cheney laughed. "Who saved me? Didn’t your precious daughter tell you? Pretending to save me and tying me to a debt of gratitude to come to Cakago; I can’t believe you didn’t know anything about this."

"You..." Kieran Janus widened his eyes. "Who told you that? Nonsense! Erin saved you, and you’re repaying kindness with enmity!"

"At first, I firmly believed without any doubts and didn’t think to question it. But can her words withstand scrutiny? How could a weak girl bring my badly injured self back to shore? Following this thread, I looked into it. The results were quite surprising; turns out it wasn’t Erin who saved me. You just happened to meet me at the hospital, learned I lost my memory, and took me back to Cakago. And you, you must know who I was before I lost my memory, so you erased all my information, controlled me, and made me work for the Janus Family. Is that right?"

Sylvan Cheney’s voice was deep and cold, every word sharp and powerful.

His speech was not fast, slow enough for Kieran Janus to untangle.

Kieran Janus’s eyes were filled with astonishment; so Sylvan Cheney had already investigated everything he could.

"Kieran, I can’t be cruel to innocents. Whoever acts against me first, I will act against them. I don’t like to strike first, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be manipulated."

"You... you truly have no heart. Even if Erin didn’t save you, she was devoted to you. Can’t you feel her kindness towards you at all? You are too cold-blooded. The Janus Family hasn’t wronged you. Even if we brought you to UT, we haven’t treated you poorly. Erin is my only daughter."

"Oh? According to President Janus, you used me for my own good, is that it?"

"You... you... you..." Kieran Janus was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

"Furthermore, just because your daughter likes me, I have to marry her, right? In your Janus Family, I cannot say a single ’no’, right?" Sylvan Cheney watched Kieran Janus leisurely, seeming to appreciate his expression.

"What exactly do you want!"

"Haven’t you been receiving bank ultimatums one after another? There will likely be shareholder legal notices, quality control department announcements, project strikes... There is no point for you to contend with me here. Even if I change my mind, the Janus Family is beyond saving. Moreover, I don’t intend to turn back. When Sylvan Cheney does something, he doesn’t retrace his steps."

"The Janus Family will be fine, and the James Group won’t have big problems. Sylvan Cheney, you wait."

"I’ll wait." Sylvan Cheney’s lips curved into a confident smile.

When he strikes, he doesn’t give the other party a way out.

The Janus Family is beyond redemption.

Kieran Janus broke into a cold sweat, even though he verbally sparred with Sylvan Cheney, he was really unsure deep down.

"By the way, President Janus, I’ve sent you and Erin a gift each, want to know what the gift is? Hmm?" Sylvan Cheney laughed, but his smile had no warmth, only cruelty and darkness in his eyes.
