Chapter 69 George's Troubles (Please vote!!!!)

"Forgot your membership card? Oh well, Mrs. Marina. Connor's a good friend of mine, and I'm a level three member of the club. According to Verona's rules, I can bring two people in, is that alright?" George asked somewhat impatiently.

"Of course! Welcome, gentlemen, to Verona!" The blonde beauty named Marina smiled and nodded. She waved, "Young Master George, Mr. Connor, please follow me this way!"

Led by Marina, the two walked to a quiet, luxurious private room on the second floor of the club. After they sat down, Marina clapped her hands lightly, and a fragrant breeze wafted in. Four sexy, elegant young ladies in gorgeous dresses filed into the room, each carrying a bottle of precious red wine.

They placed the drinks on the glass table in the private room and then lined up in a row in front of George and Connor.

"Good morning, sir!" The young ladies lifted their skirts and bowed slightly to Connor and George.

Looking at these girls before him, ready to be taken at will, Connor's mouth went dry. He knew very well that he could take them if he wanted.

Connor's throat moved slightly, but he maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

"Thank you, Mrs. Marina. Please keep all these girls!" George's wolfish gaze roamed freely over the curvaceous, beautiful bodies.

"Young Master George, as you wish, I believe our girls will give you both a very big surprise!" After saying that, the blonde beauty Marina smiled and winked at George, then walked out of the room and carefully closed the door behind her.

With two young ladies by his side, the atmosphere in the room instantly became incredibly lively. After a few rounds of drinks, George, his face flushed, suddenly turned vicious. "Connor, sometimes I really want to find two Perseids and do Olson to him!"

Upon hearing George's words, Connor's expression instantly hardened. He pushed aside the young lady serving him and gestured for all four of them to leave the private room.

Olson is George's half-brother and George's biggest enemy on his path to inheriting the Sanchez family business! It is said that George and Olson's father, Mr. Harvey, and Olson's mother were lovers and had a very good relationship. However, due to family reasons, Mr. Harvey eventually married George's mother and had his eldest son, George. But Mr. Harvey also made a mistake that many men make: he took Olson's mother as his mistress and had Olson.

Logically speaking, in an era like the Carman Empire where primogeniture was the norm, Olson's existence would not have posed any threat to George. However, perhaps out of a desire to compensate for not being able to give his beloved a proper status, Mr. Harvey doted on Olson, openly and secretly dividing up the family fortune for him.

If that were all, George might not be so angry that he would want to go on a killing spree. After all, Mr. Harvey is still in charge of his family, and no matter how Mr. Harvey divides the family property among Olson, the core business of the family will ultimately be inherited by George.

What truly enraged George was that his dear half-brother Olson was extremely ambitious. After receiving the inheritance from Mr. Harvey, he began to covet his brother's position as the first in line to the throne, something George absolutely could not tolerate.

After the ladies left the private room, Connor picked up the bottle, poured George half a glass, handed it to him, and asked in a low voice, "What did Olson do?"

George downed the drink Connor offered him in one gulp and said bitterly, "Last month, the old man entrusted me with managing a small dock. There was a batch of goods stored in the warehouse there, and the books showed that the goods existed, but in reality, they were taken away a long time ago without leaving a trace!"

After hearing George's account, Connor couldn't help but feel incredulous. "George, you didn't just forget to bring an accountant and accept the assets after a simple inventory check, did you?"

"Connor, do you think I, George, am that stupid? The accountant I brought was probably bribed by Olson. When I went to find him yesterday after discovering the problem, I found he had already committed suicide!" George gripped his wine glass tightly and said coldly.

"The accountant was silenced? Was that shipment very valuable?" Connor realized the problem and asked.

George shook his head, took another big gulp of wine, and sighed, saying, "These are all custom-made tableware items to be shipped to the New World. The total price is only around one hundred gold pounds. The goods are not the point. The point is that my damned uncle Elkan is coming to inspect them in three days. If he finds out about this problem, I will definitely be criticized at the family meeting!"

"If I lose face like this at this crucial moment, the opportunity my mother worked so hard to secure for me to manage Hope Harbor will definitely be lost. Olson is ruthless!"

Hope Harbor is one of the top ten private ports in the entire Loen region and one of the most important core assets of the Sanchez family. George is currently managing this small port to gain experience for managing Hope Harbor in the future. Elkan is Mr. Havel's brother, that is, George's uncle, and Hope Harbor is currently managed by him. Therefore, George is encroaching on his interests. If Elkan finds something wrong with George, George's wish to own Hope Harbor will definitely be dashed!

"One hundred gold pounds worth of goods? George, you're so rich, you don't care about the money. Is there something wrong with this shipment?" Connor immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

"The problem lies with this shipment. If it were just ordinary tableware, I, George, would have made up for it even if it were a thousand gold pounds, let alone a hundred!"

"It's a pity that the goods were ordered by Ranieri, the director of the New World East Hoy Company. Ranieri really likes this set of custom tableware and has been urging us to get it more than once. In recent years, our family's business focus has gradually shifted to the New World. We finally managed to get on Ranieri's good side. The custom tableware he wants is only produced in Bernabéu and is not available anywhere else. Even if we wanted to ship it from Bernabéu, it would take at least a week to get to Rune, even by the fastest train!" George looked gloomy and somewhat dejected.

"George, are you sure Olson was behind this?" Connor pondered for a moment, then squinted and asked.

Connor had met Olson a few times. In his impression, Olson was a shrewd young man, but he didn't have the ability to silently take goods out of the Sanchez family's warehouse.

"At first, I didn't believe that this whole thing could have been orchestrated by that kid, but I got word that Olsen met with Elkann two months ago!" George said bitterly.
