But although Kenneth Osborne answered the phone, he didn't say anything.
The argument he had with Lawrence Winters in the car just now was still fresh in his mind, and he hadn't recovered from it. He wasn't in the mood to act like everything was fine.
On Lawrence's side, it seemed he hadn't thought that far, and he got straight to the point by asking, "Ken, was it you who issued the statement to withdraw from our partnership?"
Kenneth felt a tinge of irony in his heart and responded with a faint "Hmm."
"What does 'hmm' even mean? Why are you withdrawing?" Lawrence asked, very dissatisfied, "Is it because of our argument? Even kids in kindergarten wouldn't do that, come on!"
Kenneth curled his lips, "This isn't about an argument. I've thought it through; as long as I'm involved, the Spencer Group will surely interfere, and we can't shake them off. So it's better for me to withdraw and eliminate their opportunity to meddle."
