"This coffee is pretty good. Do you know where it was brewed? Could you bring me another cup?"

Camille was about to mention that there was a coffee machine in the office when Mary, perfectly aware of Daisy's meaning, quickly took the coffee cup from her and said:

“Okay, Ms. Daisy, I’ll go prepare it for you now. You and Miss Camille can talk slowly.”

After saying that, Daisy grabbed her coffee cup and flew out of the office.

Seeing that there was no one else in the office, Daisy dropped her pretense, pulled Cammy to sit down on the sofa, and looked at Cammy with a gossipy expression, asking:

"Kami, am I still your good auntie?"

Camille was also bewildered by Daisy's sudden question. Why was Aunt Daisy asking this all of a sudden?

"Yes...yes, what's wrong, Aunt Daisy?"

Daisy chuckled and whispered in Camille's ear:

"Auntie, I don't really have anything to say, but, you know, Cammy, I'm just trying to build a relationship with you, right? Cammy, tell me honestly, how far have things progressed between you and Xiaohao?"

Camille blushed slightly. Aunt Daisy really was her mother's best friend; they were both so... gossipy.

But when she thought about how she had fainted on Xiao Hao's body that day, and then saw Xiao Hao's face when she woke up, she couldn't help but put on a shy look.

"No, Kami, didn't your mother teach you anything about this?"

Seeing Kami's lack of progress, Daisy couldn't help but get anxious. Kami needed to step up her game and lure Xiao Hao to this space base sooner. Right now, Xiao Hao was completely controlled by those women from GTI, and Daisy couldn't even get a bite of delicious food.

"Hmm~~~ Aunt Daisy, you've been single all along too, why do you and Mom seem so anxious? I... I think Xiaohao and I need to nurture our relationship more."

Daisy was shocked to hear Camille say that, and covered her head in disbelief. Had Camille already started siding with outsiders? That heartless little Camille! She had taken care of Demulan all those years when she was in Asara.

I never expected that just because I said something to her, this little Kami would actually say that she's a single dog too?

Daisy: Waaaaah, I've been so wrong! The well-behaved and sensible Camille is gone!

Daisy silently stood up again, then walked out the door like a walking corpse. These two must have conspired to provoke her beforehand. Yes, that must be it.

After arriving at the door, Daisy turned around and said this to Camille:

"Your Aunt Daisy was just too picky back then, it's not that no one wanted you."

After saying that, Daisy rushed out the door. Seeing Mary waiting outside with coffee, Daisy forced a smile.

"thank you."

Daisy then dragged her "tired" body toward the dormitory building.

"Ugh, I'm so tired, so emotionally exhausted. I'm going to sleep now. I really can't stand these two anymore."

Meanwhile, Robert, who was in his luxurious villa, also received a call from Desmoulins and, excited, immediately answered it.

"Hello, is Mr. Jacob very satisfied with the agricultural science laboratory I built this time? Is this call to inform me that I will be taking over the board of directors for Asara?"

Chapter 638 Harboring Hidden Ambitions (1)

As Demulan listened to the slightly excited voice on the other end of the phone, the thought of what he would say to Robert later made his lips involuntarily curve upwards.

Fortunately, Demoulin's years of work experience allowed him to restrain himself, and he then answered in a deliberately serious manner:

“That’s right, Robert. Mr. Jacob is indeed very satisfied with the agricultural science laboratory you built this time.”

Upon hearing this, Robert stopped trying to appear excited and burst into laughter on the phone.

"Hahaha, hard work pays off! Hahaha, finally it's my turn to be on the board of directors! Hahaha, Demulan, when will Mr. Jacob issue a notice to inform you that I have been successfully elected to the board of directors?"

"only..........."

Desmulan, with a mischievous grin, first recorded Robert's laughter, intending to make Daisy laugh later. Then, he drawled out the sound:

"But what? Is there some other requirement? Mr. Jacob, are you still not satisfied with this project?"

Upon hearing Desmoulins's twist in the story, Robert immediately stopped his slightly manic smile and asked nervously:

"However, Robert, it's really a pity for you this time. Mr. Jacob had already selected the board members for the Asara region, but unfortunately, you are still not on the board of directors for the Asara region."

Upon hearing the news from Demulan, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Demulan, as if he had foreseen this, moved the phone a little further away from his hand.

As Desmoulins had predicted, a few seconds later, Robert's heart-wrenching roar rang out:

"Impossible! Demulan, did you conspire with that bastard Rometheus to deceive me? It must be so. I must have already been elected to the board of directors, but that despicable Rometheus just doesn't want to see it, so he conspired with you to deceive me, right?"

Rometheus: No, no, no, I can only say I have a bit of a quirky sense of humor, but you can't look at me like that, okay? At most, I'll just run up to your private villa and laugh at you for half an hour with a super-powered megaphone. Liaring you? I don't like lying to monkeys who don't have any brains.

Demulan was speechless at Robert's astonishing thought process. What grudge did this guy have against Rometheus? Basically, everyone in Asara's upper echelons knew that Robert was just a stupid, rich employee. Wasn't it perfectly normal that he didn't get elected?

Demulan couldn't help but want to find Daisy and give her a good talking-to about how this could be linked to Rometheus. If Robert and Rometheus were put together right now, Demulan wouldn't doubt that Robert would probably punch Rometheus right now.

“Do you think I have that much free time? Or do you think my relationship with Rometheus was that good in your eyes? I can tell you very seriously, Robert, Mr. Jacob has given you two choices: one is to stay in Asara and wait for the new board of directors to take charge of us.”

"Or, since Mr. Jacob is indeed very satisfied with your project this time, he said you can choose to return to headquarters and be transferred to a place where you can earn more money than Asara. Of course, if you want to stay at headquarters, I don't think Mr. Jacob will have any objections."

After listening to Demulan's words, Robert took two steps back helplessly and slumped onto the leather sofa behind him. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

He did so much for Hafk Corporation, but he didn't spend Hafk's money; that money came from his family. Even if his family is very wealthy, building this military-grade agricultural laboratory was still a huge loss.

What he had thought before was that after he had devoted himself to building this agricultural science laboratory, Mr. Jacob would definitely give him a seat on the board of directors for Asara.

But now... everything that has happened is beyond Robert's expectations. After hearing the two choices Demulan gave him, Robert couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Where else could you find more lucrative opportunities than Asara? This place is just a way to get rid of me. But even though I'm currently working as a high-ranking official here, the money I can make isn't enough to fill the hole left by the construction of this agricultural research laboratory.

"Who is the new board member this time?"

Hearing Robert ask this, Desmulan suddenly realized, "Yes, isn't there another dim-witted person here, Asara, who's perfect as a pawn?" So Desmulan immediately said:

“You know Hudson, right? Maybe you don’t. He’s a young man like you, but… he’s about to become the highest commander on Asara’s side. And even before he arrived, he’s already given me a taste of his own medicine.”

Upon hearing this, Robert thought, "Hudson?" The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. He eventually gave up trying to recall, but when he heard Desmulan say that this man had given her a hard time as soon as he arrived, Robert was quite shocked.

Good grief, even if you become a member of the board of directors here, you wouldn't dare to go against Demulan so easily. You might say that you bullied Rometheus to vent your anger, but everyone knows about Demulan's connections.

Robert: After being bombed once, he went from being a staff member to the safety director of the space base. Even I know that Demulan must have connections behind him. This guy named Hudson dared to use Demulan to establish his authority as soon as he arrived. He must be a fool.

Thinking of this, Robert couldn't help but have another idea. Yes, Demulan seemed to have told him before that Hudson was a young man. If he could just find someone to quietly get rid of Hudson like last time, wouldn't he have another chance to get the board position?

“I want to stay here, and so does Demulan. Do you really want to be constantly suppressed by this young man, Hudson? Otherwise… how about we cooperate?”

Chapter 639 Harboring Hidden Ambitions (2)

Upon hearing Robert's words, Desmoulins' eyes lit up. Finally, he'd heard Robert speak up, but he couldn't afford to give Robert any leverage over him, so he feigned seriousness and said:

“Robert, no matter how awful and useless that Hudson is, he is still on the board of directors appointed by Mr. Jacob. Isn’t what you’re doing a bit inappropriate?”

In case Robert gave up immediately after hearing what he said, Demulan quickly added:

"However... I suggest you secretly give Hudson more information. As for how to use it, that's none of my business."

If an ordinary person heard Desmulan say this, their first reaction would be that this old fox wanted to use him to trip up Hudson. But Desmulan had calculated that Robert wouldn't go looking for those old coffins in his family.

As for Robert's own intelligence, Desmoulins said he was very confident in him, and that Robert would definitely think of himself as a great person.

And indeed, just as Desmulan had predicted, Robert, who had initially been disheartened and considering returning to headquarters, brightened up upon hearing Desmulan's next words and immediately said to her:

“No problem, you’ve really done me a big favor, Demulan. I’ll be waiting for your good news here. As for this Hudson… I’d like to see what kind of person he is.”

After hanging up the phone, Demulan smiled slightly. He would have someone make a special trip later. This matter couldn't be known to any third party. As for the information given to Robert... Demulan indicated that he also needed to make a slight change.

After all, if Demulan were to give Robert, that idiot, all of Hudson's information, he might actually scare him away, which is not impossible.

You know, someone like Robert, once he sees Hudson, whose family background is even more powerful than his own, might just pack his bags and leave the very next day.

So, since Robert still trusts him to some extent, Demulan said he still wanted to secretly tamper with the data.

Meanwhile, Robert, after hanging up the phone, grew increasingly angry and began to smash the precious tea sets in front of him. After breaking several sets of his treasured tea sets, Robert calmed down a bit. He called in the servants outside to clean up, and then began to wonder if he should ask his father for permission to take this action.

But the thought of his father looking at him with disappointment and sighing immediately made Robert give up the idea.

"No...no, I can't let Father down again. As the pride of the family, I must succeed this time. If I fail..."

Robert seemed to recall the disappointed look his father had given him, and he couldn't help but shudder. He shook his head and ultimately decided to suppress the matter.

"I'll tell him after I succeed. This time, I'll go back and give him the good news after I take down Hudson."

However, at that moment, a number that Robert had never seen before suddenly appeared on his phone. Robert initially wanted to hang up, but then he thought that it might be information sent by Demulan, so he picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hello, this is Robert, who is this?"

The voice coming from the other end of the phone made Robert's pupils dilate in shock.

“I am Hudson, the head of the Performance Department. Robert, I am informing you in my capacity as the head of the Performance Department that you have been removed. I hope that when I arrive at Space City next week, you will not be on the conference room table. That is my advice.”

Hearing Hudson's extremely arrogant tone on the phone, Robert was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. He didn't expect Hudson to call him directly, and even to act like the master of the house, telling him to leave.

Robert, who already had a fiery temper, couldn't stand being spoken to in such a tone by someone his own age, and immediately started yelling into the phone:

"What are you pretending for in front of me? A nepotism acquaintance who sent Mr. Jacob some small gifts? Bah! Let me tell you, I've seen plenty of spoiled brats like you. You think I'm leaving? No way! Even if you're on the board, you have no right to make me leave. I want to see what kind of person you really are. I'll be waiting for you in the conference room at the space base."

After finishing his rant, Robert hung up the phone immediately. He was extremely annoyed with Hudson, whom he hadn't even met yet. "You're all backed by your family, what are you pretending for?"

Of course, if Demulan were here, he would probably show a shocked expression, since he knows a little about Hudson's background and would never turn against him unless absolutely necessary.

As for Robert, all I can say is that ignorance is bliss. He actually dared to point his finger at Hudson and curse him the first time they met. That's a true warrior.

As for Hudson, who had his call disconnected, he sat in his luxurious office, a hint of anger flashing in his previously calm eyes.

After taking out his asthma medication from his pocket and inhaling it, Hudson muttered to himself:

"Wait for me? Hmph, very well, Robert, I'm actually starting to look forward to meeting you. I hope you won't disappoint me. As for that Demulan, I'll deal with you slowly later."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"Hahaha, why is Robert laughing like an idiot? Hahaha, his old man really had no hope for him, how could he give birth to such a weirdo!"

At that moment, Daisy was listening to the recording of Desmulan and Robert's conversation. When she heard Robert's silly grin, Daisy couldn't help but burst out laughing. This Robert really was a complete idiot with no guile, and he even dared to say that he wanted to join forces with Desmulan.

Chapter 640 Harboring Hidden Ambitions (3)

"Alright, this is really interesting. I didn't expect Robert to want to join the fray. Hehehe, I'm really curious to see what Hudson's expression will be when he actually comes to our space base and sees this trap."

Daisy took an elegant sip of her coffee and said that their team to take down Hudson was growing stronger day by day. Hudson probably never expected that his upcoming arrival at this space base would bring together these people who were originally at odds with each other.
