Chapter 444
Divorced but Delighted
The smile on the old manâs 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.
âPatrick is indeed a little willful. There are no rules that can restrict him. He was indeed like a lunatic. Itâs really not good to be too willful.â
The old man spoke in an unhurried manner, which made Draven a little impatient.
âWhat is this old thing trying to say?â
Just as Draven was about to ask him directly, the rest of the old manâs words made him stop.
The old man raised his eyes and looked at Draven seriously.
âI came to New York to invite you to Washington D.C. to take over the Trevino family. Are you willing?â
For a moment, Draven didnât understand what he meant.
Draven frowned, pursed his thin lips, and did not answer.
The old manâs tone was still the same. âIf youâre willing, you can stay here tonight. Iâll show you the current situation of the Trevino Group. If youâre not willing, it doesnât matter. Iâll 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.â
âWhat about Patrick?â 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, âIf you promise me, there wonât be anything to do with Patrick anymore. What will happen to him later depends on his ability.â
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 couldnât, those heâd offended in the past would make him live in hell.
Draven knew his true intention.
He caressed the coffee cup and lowered his eyes. âIf I donât agree, can I really continue to be an overlord in New York?â
He came to New York with a purpose and wouldnât leave so easily without getting what he wanted.
Whatâs 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.
âWhat? You donât believe me?â The old man was amused by Dravenâs vigilance.
What he wanted was nothing more than someone who was willing to take over the Trevino Group.
If Draven refused, he couldnât 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. âThink about it carefully. If youâre not willing, I wonât force you. I just think maybe youâre more suitable than Patrick in business. Of course, Patrick is freewheeling, but it doesnât mean that he is incapable. Youâre not my only choice.
Think about it carefully.â
Draven understood what he meant.
The old man was hinting that if he refused, the Trevino Group would still be Patrickâs.
Draven and Patrick were just like two horses to the Trevino family. If they couldnât 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 didnât forget to remind Draven.
âBy 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.â
His old tone deliberately emphasized âyouâ, as if reminding Draven that he was safe, but others might not.
âWhat do you mean?â
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 Dravenâs wrist, making him unable to move. Draven could vaguely feel the pain in his bones.
Dravenâs eyes darkened, and he immediately reached out to resist.
However, the other party had stopped in time and avoided his attack.
âIf Mr. Trevino wants to have dinner together, Iâll take you there. But if thereâs anything else, I think youâd better calm down here first.â
He smiled. Under the sunlight, though he looked kind and amiable, make people feel irresistible.
The bones in Dravenâs 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, âBen, why are you stopping him? If Draven wants to come over for dinner, just bring him over. Itâs dinner time, letâs not talk about anything else.â
âOK.â
Ben nodded.
Then he made a gesture of invitation to Draven.
It was clear that he wouldnât stop Draven this time.
Draven glanced at him warily but he didnât follow him. âI have an appointment with a friend to have lunch at noon, so I wonât disturb old Mr. Trevino.
As for his proposal, Iâll think about it carefully.â
Ben maintained his smile. âIf 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, itâll be a waste if too much is cooked.â
Draven didnât reply and walked away with a cold face.
Behind him, the smile on Benâs 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. âYou didnât hurt him, did you? You donât know how to control your strength.â
Ben sat down and straightened his back. âMr. Draven is tough. Itâs not so easy to hurt him.â
Old Mr. Trevino chuckled. âWith your temper, itâs hard to say.â
Ben also smiled and didnât linger on this topic.
He looked at old Mr. Trevino and asked in a more serious tone, âHowâs the situation on your side? Howâs Mr. Dravenâs attitude?â
Old Mr. Trevino ate his food unhurriedly. When he heard this, he chuckled and said, âHeis on guard. Heâs afraid that weâll trap him.â
âWhat should we do? We canât rely on Mr. Patrick. If the Trevino Group is handed over to him, Iâm afraid that he will destroy all of the Trevino familyâs painstaking efforts.â Benâs face was a little gloomy.

Ben was still worried. âMr. 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, Iâm afraid...â
Old Mr. Trevino nodded. âItâs indeed not easy to deal with a love affair.â
âThen?â
Ben turned to look at old Mr. Trevino.
The latterâs expression remained unchanged, and his smile grew even wider.
âGo 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.â
âOK."
