At that moment, Delbert seemed so isolated, emanating an icy chill from his lofty position.Delbert turned his head and locked eyes with Kenny, speaking with sudden intensity."So, you deliberately planted people around me, waiting for an opportunity to kill me and gain control of Carlson Group?"Kenny was taken aback.
