Wolves, Maces, And Blood

Chapter 40 The Campbell Family was Here to buy the Moore Group

Soon, the phone was connected.

“Lorraine, it’s me.”

Dylan said anxiously, “There’s one thing you need to…”

“Dylan!”

However, before Dylan could get the words out, Lorraine Moore cut him off, “This is about the Campbell

family, isn’t it?”

“How do you know?” Dylan was shocked.

“I heard about the afternoon.”

Lorraine Moore’s voice was very heavy and deliberately low, as if worried about being heard. “How’s

dad going?” she asked.

“He’s at city Hospital. He just woke up.”

Dylan looked back at Carter Moore and said, “It should be nothing serious, dad is old, the doctor told

dad to stay in the hospital for a few days, and then he can go home to rest.”

“Okay.”

Lorraine Moore sighed in relief and asked quietly, “I don't know how you offended the Campbell family,

and I don’t want to ask, but I’m afraid I can’t help you this time. You might need to fend for yourself.”

“What?!”

Dylan’s hand shook and the phone almost slipped, “What do you mean? Don’t forget that you’re also a

part of the Moore family.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“With everything going on in our family, you can’t just walk away. Are you going to watch the Moore

family’s legacy go down the drain, and dad get pissed off by those guys???”

Dylan was worried!

As Carter Moore had just said, the Moore family was helpless in the face of Charles Campbell’s wrath.

But the Rodriguez family was different. The Rodriguez family and the Campbell family were both in

Crane Town, and they were connected. In terms of power, the Rodriguez family was not as powerful as

the Campbell family, but if the Rodriguez family was willing to mediate, they could certainly minimize

the damage to the Moore family.

So, Lorraine Moore was now the only hope for the Moore family!

“It’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s just...”

Lorraine Moore said with resignation, “Well, since you came to me, I won’t keep it from you. Someone

from the Campbell family came just now and is still here, talking to my father-in-law in the main hall.”

“I listened for a while at the door. The Campbell family made it very clear that my father-in-law should

stay out of our business.”

“Also, my father-in-law... He already said yes!”

It was not loud, but it was thunderous.

“Well, it’s…”

Dylan was struck by lightning, frozen in place, his right hand shaking again. He asked, “So, Lorraine,

while Mr. Rodriguez and the Campbell family are here, could you please…”

“No!”

Lorraine Moore certainly knew what Dylan was trying to say. She didn’t even give Dylan a chance to

say it. “In the Rodriguez family, my father-in-law always keeps his word. No one can go against his will

and no one can change what he decides.”

“If I go in there now and intercede on behalf of my family, not only will I not save you, I will not save the

Moore Group, I will involve myself in it. At best, my father-in-law would reprimand me, at worst, he

would accuse me of pickpocketing and even kick me out of the Rodriguez family.”

Lorraine Moore was clearly terrified of her father-in-law.

As the saying went, a big family had its complications.

The bigger the family, the harsher the rules, the more obvious the rank. And the head of the family was

almost like the emperor. Like the Moore family. Carter Moore’s word was a royal edict. Who dared to

disobey it?

The Moore family was like this, let alone the Rodriguez family in the Crane Town.

Dylan’s face turned pale.

“Give me the phone.”

Noticing Dylan’s expression, Carter Moore knew something was wrong and held out his hand, “let me

talk to her.”

Dylan handed over the phone.

“Lorraine, I…”

“Dad!”

Lorraine Moore, however, had the same attitude toward Carter Moore. She didn’t give Carter Moore a

chance to speak. She said quietly, “You know my place in the Rodriguez family, Dad. If it was someone

else or something else, I could try, but the Campbell family…”

“The Campbell family would crush the Moore family like an ant. Businessmen seek profits. My father-in-

law would never offend the Campbell family for me and our family.”

“So, you might as well give it up. Leave it to God.”

Hearing this, Carter Moore’s face, which had just regained some of its color, turned white again.

“So…”

“I can tell you, Dad, I think the Campbell family just said they’ve sent someone over to Hilshire and they

should be there soon. Remember, you must agree to all the conditions they put forward, do not resist,

otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.”

With that, Lorraine Moore hung up.

Throughout, Carter Moore never had time to say a word.

Snapping!

The phone was left on the bed. Carter Moore’s face was desperate and he was out of breath, as if he

had relapsed and was at risk of passing out again at any moment.

“Dad!”

“Grandpa!”

Dylan and Isaac pounced, tears streaming down their faces.

“It’s over. All over…”

Carter Moore reclined on the pillow, his eyes blank, her expression glazed. He didn’t seem to hear

Dylan and Isaac and muttered to himself, “The Moore family is over. This time, it’s over…”

Lorraine Moore’s attitude reminded Carter Moore of Luke Young’s words at the Moore Group this

afternoon, “Get the Moore Group de-listed in Hilshire!”

Delist!

Did the Campbell family send someone over to destroy the Moore family???

“Stop!”

Just then, outside the ward came a cold yell from a security guard, “Who are you guys? This is no

place for you! Get out!”

Bang! Bang…

The guard’s words were followed by the sound of blows and kicks.

The sound lasted about ten seconds.

Ten seconds later.

The door of the hospital room was pushed open and two men and a woman entered. One of the men

was dressed in a suit and tie, looking very polite and carrying a folder. The other man was a man of

great stature, and at first glance he was a man of great skill.

And the woman, young and beautiful, walked first, as if she were the leader.

“You, you guys…”

Three people in the ward were startled by the sudden change and turned their heads. At the sight of

the two men and a woman, they were stunned, frowning, and puzzled. But when they saw the guards

lying on the floor outside the ward, their faces turned pale.

Without saying a word, they beat the guards. Obviously, these two men and one woman were not being

nice.

The men who had just been thrown out of the room had witnessed the burly man beating the guards,

one against ten. They were also too frightened to speak. Still, out of curiosity, they couldn’t help poking

out their heads, pricking up their ears and staring at the room.

They wanted to come in, but they were afraid.

“You’re from the Campbell family of Crane Town???”

Carter Moore asked after a pause. He was the only one who heard Lorraine Moore’s warning. But he

never expected that the Campbell family would come so quickly.

“Let me introduce myself.”

The beautiful woman nodded with a smile and said, “I’m Lilith Carter, Mr. Campbell’s private secretary.

They are the company’s legal manager and head of security.”

“We’re here today to make a deal with Mr. Moore.”

With that, Lilith Carter winked at the man in the suit next to her, who immediately stepped forward and

handed the folder to Carter Moore.

Lilith Carter continued, “As far as I know, Mr. Moore holds seventy-two percent of the shares of the

Moore Group and is the largest shareholder of the Group as well as the chairman of the board of

directors. Now, we are going to acquire all the shares of Mr. Moore and take over the Moore Group…”
