Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 444 He Will Agree 

The smile on the old man’s face deepened.

Logically speaking, he should have been furious.

A child who was brought up by him was evaluated to be a lunatic. As an elder, how could he tolerate such an evaluation?

However, there was no anger on his face.

The old man even smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Patrick is indeed a little willful. There are no rules that can restrict him. He was indeed like a lunatic. It’s really not good to be too willful.”

The old man spoke in an unhurried manner, which made Draven a little impatient.

“What is this old thing trying to say?”

Just as Draven was about to ask him directly, the rest of the old man’s words made him stop.

The old man raised his eyes and looked at Draven seriously.

“I came to New York to invite you to Washington D.C. to take over the Trevino family. Are you willing?”

For a moment, Draven didn’t understand what he meant.

Draven frowned, pursed his thin lips, and did not answer.

The old man’s tone was still the same. “If you’re willing, you can stay here tonight. I’ll show you the current situation of the Trevino Group. If you’re not willing, it doesn’t matter. I’ll go back in a few days,

and you can pretend that nothing happened. You can still be the overlord of New York and have nothing to do with the Trevino Group.”

“What about Patrick?” Draven asked.

The old man intended to hand over the Trevino Group to Patrick.

However, the lunatic was really disobedient and did whatever he wanted, so they planned to change a person.

As for why they chose Draven, it was probably because there were no other suitable candidates, so the old man could only come to New York and find him who had been abandoned by them back then.

It turned out that he came to find Draven to work for them.

The old man smiled and said leisurely, “If you promise me, there won’t be anything to do with Patrick anymore. What will happen to him later depends on his ability.”

Patrick was just an outcast.

If he had the ability to protect himself, then he would naturally have the ability to survive and live a good life. If he couldn’t, those he’d offended in the past would make him live in hell.

Draven knew his true intention.

He caressed the coffee cup and lowered his eyes. “If I don’t agree, can I really continue to be an overlord in New York?”

He came to New York with a purpose and wouldn’t leave so easily without getting what he wanted.

What’s more, he even helped Draven find Cierra for no reason.

Draven had never believed that a pie would fall from the sky. He had to remain vigilant.

“What? You don’t believe me?” The old man was amused by Draven’s vigilance.

What he wanted was nothing more than someone who was willing to take over the Trevino Group.

If Draven refused, he couldn’t force him.

However, Draven had just suffered a loss, so it was not his fault for being vigilant.

At this time, the dinner was ready.

The old man had lunch early and was already a little hungry.

The old man got up from the chair and patted him on the shoulder. “Think about it carefully. If you’re not willing, I won’t force you. I just think maybe you’re more suitable than Patrick in business. Of course, Patrick is freewheeling, but it doesn’t mean that he is incapable. You’re not my only choice. Think about it carefully.”

Draven understood what he meant.

The old man was hinting that if he refused, the Trevino Group would still be Patrick’s.

Draven and Patrick were just like two horses to the Trevino family. If they couldn’t train one well, they could try the other one. In addition, if it was worse, they could continue to train the other one.

Anyway, they were all top-notch. They just needed to choose the more obidient one.

Before the old man left, he didn’t forget to remind Draven.

“By the way, no matter what choice you make, you can rest assured about your own safety. Although the Trevino family in Washington D.C. is unwilling to admit the poor relatives in New York, you are still a

descendant of the Trevino family in any case. The Trevino family will not do anything to you.”

His old tone deliberately emphasized “you”, as if reminding Draven that he was safe, but others might not.

“What do you mean?”

Draven felt threatened, so he questioned the old man without hesitation.

But the old man did not reply and walked slowly towards the dining room with his dragon-head cane.

Draven strode forward and caught up with him.

However, he was stopped immediately by the person who delivered the food just now.

It was an old man about the same age as old Mr. Trevino. He was also dressed in an elegant suit. The way he stopped him was very inconsistent with his age.

His strong palm grabbed Draven’s wrist, making him unable to move. Draven could vaguely feel the pain in his bones.

Draven’s eyes darkened, and he immediately reached out to resist.

However, the other party had stopped in time and avoided his attack.

“If Mr. Trevino wants to have dinner together, I’ll take you there. But if there’s anything else, I think you’d better calm down here first.”

He smiled. Under the sunlight, though he looked kind and amiable, make people feel irresistible.

The bones in Draven’s wrist were still aching. He pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Old Mr. Trevino, who was leading the way, looked back and said, “Ben, why are you stopping him? If Draven wants to come over for dinner, just bring him over. It’s dinner time, let’s not talk about anything else.”

“OK.”

Ben nodded.

Then he made a gesture of invitation to Draven.

It was clear that he wouldn’t stop Draven this time.

Draven glanced at him warily but he didn’t follow him. “I have an appointment with a friend to have lunch at noon, so I won’t disturb old Mr. Trevino. As for his proposal, I’ll think about it carefully.”

Ben maintained his smile. “If Mr. Draven has made up your mind, remember to give me your answer so that I can ask the kitchen to prepare food in advance. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste if too much is cooked.”

Draven didn’t reply and walked away with a cold face.

Behind him, the smile on Ben’s face faded slightly.

When Draven was out of sight, he, with a dark face, turned to look for old Mr. Trevino.

The latter had already sat down at the dining table. When he saw Ben coming over, he leaned over and pulled out a chair for him. “You didn’t hurt him, did you? You don’t know how to control your strength.”

Ben sat down and straightened his back. “Mr. Draven is tough. It’s not so easy to hurt him.”

Old Mr. Trevino chuckled. “With your temper, it’s hard to say.”

Ben also smiled and didn’t linger on this topic.

He looked at old Mr. Trevino and asked in a more serious tone, “How’s the situation on your side? How’s Mr. Draven’s attitude?”

Old Mr. Trevino ate his food unhurriedly. When he heard this, he chuckled and said, “Heis on guard. He’s afraid that we’ll trap him.”

“What should we do? We can’t rely on Mr. Patrick. If the Trevino Group is handed over to him, I’m afraid that he will destroy all of the Trevino family’s painstaking efforts.” Ben’s face was a little gloomy.

Old Mr. Trevino was still smiling. “What’s the rush? Draven will agree.”

Ben was still worried. “Mr. Draven cares a lot about the daughter of the Barton family. If the Trevino Group is handed over to him, and he marries a girl from a small city like Los Angeles, I’m afraid…”

Old Mr. Trevino nodded. “It’s indeed not easy to deal with a love affair.”

“Then?”

Ben turned to look at old Mr. Trevino.

The latter’s expression remained unchanged, and his smile grew even wider.

“Go ask Calvin what Patrick has been doing recently. If he needs anything, help him. After all, I raised him myself. I have to give him some compensation.”

“OK."
