Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Heath hurriedly approached the car door and addressed Timothy respectfully,
"Mr. Barrett, Mr. Hopkins still hasn't shown up. We've tried reaching him multiple times.
"At first, he claimed to be busy. Now, he's not even responding to our calls. I was actually about to call you to see if you'd be interested in going to find him."
Timothy's demeanor turned cold. "Where is he now?"
"Based on our investigation, he's currently at a country club," Heath responded.
"In that case, let's head straight to the country club."
Heath promptly joined Timothy and Caleb in the car.
Caleb glanced at Timothy and asked, "Tim, how do you plan to address this situation with Mr. Hopkins? It's clear he's engaged in questionable dealings with the Bowen family.
"Maybe he's accepted a bribe or something similar. If you end this partnership, Mr. Hopkins will likely face repercussions, and Mrs. Barrett will undoubtedly demand an explanation from you."
"I've already warned my mother in the past not to cover for Uncle Ralph. If she still intends to clean up his mess this time, then so be it," Timothy stated firmly.
Either way, he would show no leniency this time.
Upon arriving at the country club, Timothy led his team directly to Ralph's location.
Shortly after their arrival, Lewis' car also pulled up outside.
With a concerned expression, Lewis turned to his assistant, Terry McKinnon. "Why are the Barretts suddenly proposing to renegotiate the partnership? Wasn't the deal already finalized?"
Indeed, this collaboration held great importance for the Bowen family. They had even boasted about it extensively. If this partnership were to dissolve, how would they manage to get by in Nord City?
"Mr. Bowen, it seems the decision to terminate the partnership may have originated from the headquarters. My suspicion is that someone might be advocating for kickbacks or aiming to negotiate lower prices, which is why they're pushing for this decision.
"Maybe you could engage with them and consider offering a bit more in terms of compensation? After all, this deal stands to bring profits to the Bowen family."
Upon learning that the headquarters had decided to cancel the collaboration, Lewis' thoughts immediately turned to Mia's bodyguard, Timothy, who had been pushing for the termination of the partnership. For a brief moment, Lewis even entertained the notion that Timothy could potentially be the CEO of the Barrett Group.
However, after Terry's explanation, Lewis became convinced that it was the deputy manager of the branch office who was seeking additional bribes. Consequently, he deliberately made things difficult for them. Lewis was somewhat irritated. "Arrange for more funds to be prepared. Once we secure this partnership with the Barrett family, the Bowen family's influence in Nord City will skyrocket. At that point, I won't even bother to acknowledge the Lanes."
As Lewis approached the door, he was intercepted by a man standing guard.
"I'm sorry, but Mr. Hopkins is currently in a meeting with a VIP guest," the guard explained.
