Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 54

Sadie, Liam, and Kayson stopped in their tracks. They saw two familiar faces, Johnson and his son, Kuhn!

Johnson and Kuhn were equally stumped to see Liam and Sadie. Why would Liam and Sadie be there?

Liam did not expect to meet them both. With the smile from his face gone, he greeted them.” Mr. Zigler, Kuhn, nice to meet you two here.”

Kuhn squinted his eyes slightly and asked with a condescending tone, “Are you here for dinner, Liam? Which client are you meeting up with?”

It was at this time that Liam recalled the call between Johnson and Hugh and felt bitter at how the call had gone. And now, Kuhn was condescendingly talking to them.

Liam replied, “I am just meeting up with a regular client, who is definitely not as important as your client.”

Kuhn chuckled. “That is without saying. Tonight, we are meeting up with Mr. Gillete and Mr. Queen, the director of Triumph Land. We don’t have dinner with just anybody.” Kuhn was trying to agitate Liam on purpose. After all, they had already rejected Hugh’s request yesterday. Kuhn was hoping to elicit a response from Liam.

Sadie and Liam were stunned by what Kuhn told them. The Ziglers’ were going to meet up with Jason? If so, how would they be able to have dinner with him? Unless… Jason was planning to meet all of them at the same time!?

Kuhn, who observed Sadie and Liam’s change in expression, was glad at his accurate prediction. “Kuhn, let’s not put salt onto Liam’s wound,” Johnson mentioned with a condescending tone.

Kayson glanced at Johnson and Kuhn and retorted, “Don’t you think you guys are laughing a little too soon? We still can’t say who will be the last one laughing.”

Kuhn was about to retort when he saw Kayson’s face and realized something. ‘Isn’t this young fellow the guy that the Tinsleys introduced during their event?’

Johnson glanced over and immediately recognized Kayson. However, he wasn’t too worried about Kayson. “Hmph! Little boy, who are you to voice out your opinion?” “Oh? Do you have a problem with that? Is this your residence? Do you have controlling tendencies?” Kayson retorted in a calm manner.

“Liam, you should be careful about how your puppy talks. Who knows? One day it may result in troubles that you don’t want!” Kuhn replied angrily.

Although Kayson had indeed been introduced during the birthday celebration and seemed to have some close connection with the Tinsleys, the Ziglers had checked it out and found out that Kayson was not actually close to the Tinsleys. Instead, the Tinsleys were close to Zachary, and the latter was close to Kayson. Tyrone wasn’t close to Kayson but rather to the famous Dr. Ewell.

“Who are you calling a puppy? Due to your age, we respect you as an elder. However, that doesn’t mean that you can be so condescending,” Sadie replied angrily.

Although Sadie wasn’t usually polite to Kayson, she couldn’t bear to see others humiliate him.

“Hmph! A company that’s about to meet its end doesn’t know when to cave in?” Kuhn spoke.

Just as Kuhn had finished his sentence, a deep voice was heard from not too far away. “Who is about to meet its end? Who doesn’t know when to cave in?”

Upon hearing that deep voice, both parties quieted down. At the same time, their heads turned to see who it was.

Jason was holding his wife’s hand and walking toward them. The Ziglers immediately got up.

Johnson put on his best smile, held his hand out, and greeted him. “Mr. Queen—” Jason totally ignored the greeting and walked straight past Johnson. He then smiled at Liam as if Liam was an old friend. “Mr. Wolfenden, Ms. Sadie, sorry to have kept you waiting.” He then held his right hand out to greet them.
