Chapter 408: Chapter 408

Recently, Jadeborough’s news media has been particularly busy.

They reported the news of wealthy families every day.

In the past, wealthy families did not make any big moves.

The fight for the inheritance right to the Parks Group was already the hottest topic.

In the past 6 months, trending news about the wealthy families in Jadeborough had been broadcasted endlessly.

First, Nancy Zeller, the daughter of the Zeller and Xander families, died in an accident.

After that, Yechiel and his ex-wife, Lily, died of carbon monoxide poisoning during an affair.

The Xander Group had a change in management.

Lee had returned to the top management.

Preston of the Blake family, who had gone crazy for the past 6 years, suddenly recovered.

Madam Blake supported Preston and gave all her shares to him.

Preston became the largest shareholder of the Blake Corporation overnight.

Meanwhile, Lee was lucky enough to find his wife, who had been missing for 21 years.

His children had all been found.

Every one of them was big news.

Currently, the Xander and Blake families were very close.

Some media personnel managed to find the truth.

It turned out that in the past, Preston’s Lee’s wife, who had fallen into the river in a car accident.

Some members of the public were exceptionally excited.

“So, this is fate! No wonder Lianne and Lee’s son, Trevor, are especially close now.

They go out together every day.” “Yes, yes, yes.

They look especially compatible.

I hope they get married on the spot.” “That’s right.

The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful.

Their temperaments are the same.

It’s simply amazing.” “I have to say that Lee and Heather are the real lucky ones.

Heather was in such a major car accident, but she’s still alive.

Moreover, the two children have separated far apart, but in the end, they’re exceptionally outstanding.

They don’t even need to tutor their homework, and the children are already all grown up with talents!”

At the Parks residence.

Samuel, Julian, and the others had returned to the Parks residence on the second day of the new year.

The second and third branches of the Parks family as well as the Hiller family came to celebrate the new year and have a meal together.

There was a huge celebration today, so the family members of the second and third branches came over as well.

After dinner, everyone set off fireworks together.

The fireworks in the sky were bright, but everyone was deep in their thoughts.

Before the fireworks ended, the members of the second branch met with Tony for tea.

The servants had all left.

In the hall, there were only Albert, Timothy and his wife, and Tony and his whole family.

They sipped tea together as they watched the news and gossiped.

Albert took a sip of tea and sighed.

Taking advantage of his seniority, he asked Tony, “Tony, what do you think about the matter between the Xander and Blake families?” Tony’s expression was also not good.

He said, “Everyone knows that Lee has been bedridden for 20 years because of Heather.

Heather is now back and was saved by Preston’s grandmother.

Madam Blake has given all the shares under her name to Preston.

Preston has returned to normal.

With the shares in his hands and the Xander family’s help, Preston is bound to take over.” Albert nodded deeply and said, “Speaking of which, Julian is still the lucky one.

He suddenly went to Horington and simply marry a woman.

In the end, the woman was the real daughter of the Xander family.” At this point, he glanced at Alexander.

Alexander’s expression was already very gloomy.

When Albert looked at him like this, his expression became even gloomier.

Albert continued, “Trevor, the sidekick that he casually took in, is Lee’s biological son.

His luck is blessed by the heavens.” Tony thought of Julian’s bad temper.

Every time he saw Julian, Julian would act like a stranger.

He felt a stump in his heart.

Albert continued, “But, let’s not belittle ourselves.

I’ve fought for another half a year before the new year.

Tony, I’m here today to discuss an important matter with you.” Tony and his family looked at Albert in unison.

Albert sighed and said, “Julian has help from the Xander family as well as from the Blake family in the future.

He naturally has more and more advantages.

Originally, Annalise was not the Barton family’s daughter.

Before Yechiel died, we could still get the Xander family’s orders.

Ever since Lee took over, our orders have all stopped.

So…” He paused deliberately.

Tony frowned.

“Uncle, we’re biological uncle and nephew.

If you have anything to say, why don’t you just say it?” Layla was furious, but she did not show it on her face.

She refilled the old man’s tea and smiled politely.

“That’s right, Uncle.

We’re a family.

Just say what you want.” “Yes,” Albert responded again and said, “I think we should also change our thinking.

Since the one-on-one tactic didn’t work, let’s work as one.” The long-winded explanation annoyed Tony and his family.

When they heard the phrase “work as one”, their eyes lit up.

Tony asked, “Uncle, what do you mean?” Albert said, “We give up the competition and give all the resources in our hands to Alexander.

All our performance will be counted as Alexander’s.” Layla’s eyes instantly burned with happiness, and she could not hide the smile.

“Uncle, don’t joke about this kind of thing.” If he made such a joke, he would be purely mocking others.

Tony also said, “Uncle, are you serious?” Alexander gave Albert a strange look and thought, “Was he that kind?” Timothy and Jasmine did not look too good.

Although that was the result of the prior discussion, their hearts still ached when it was finalized.

Compared to before the new year, Jasmine had already lost a lot of weight.

The death of her parents was a huge blow to her.

In the past, she felt that Timothy and she were equal in their relationship.

Therefore, if Timothy had any social engagements at work, he had to report to her in advance and only attend the social engagements with her permission.

Ever since her parents passed away, she suddenly felt that she did not have a home anymore.

She did not dare to ask for so much from Timothy anymore.

Timothy had attended many social events before the new year, but she did not dare to say much.

When her father-in-law suggested using their resources to support Alexander, she was against it.

They had worked hard for so long, but they had to give their results away.

Who would be willing? However, they had no choice.

Without the Xander family’s support, they really could not win against Julian.

They might as well do it and gain a favor from Alexander.

It was not that they had not thought of supporting Julian, but Julian was arrogant and stubborn.

Julian’s original words were, “Thank you for your support.

You can directly quit the Parks Group.” He was simply too arrogant.

Albert nodded at Tony.

“Of course, I’m serious.” Tony was also a smart person.

He asked, “What do you want, Uncle?” Everyone knew very well that it was not suitable for them to fight alone in their current situations.

If they were to team up, they had to negotiate the conditions in advance to prevent a fight later.

“Once Alexander has successfully taken over the Parks Group, Timothy will be the vice president for the Group,” Albert stated his conditions.

Currently, Timothy was the general manager of a branch office, just like Alexander.

The general manager of the branch office was not even comparable to the general manager of the company, let alone the company’s vice president.

“Alexander, what do you think?” Tony asked for Alexander’s opinion.
