Chapter 489:
Bryan added, âBy the way, hereâs another piece of news. When I married Eileen, several properties and vehicles under my name were transferred to herâgifts with no strings attached.â
That was another bombshell.
âYouâve given her all your properties?â
âAre you serious?â
âShame on you!â
The eldersâ faces turned red with anger.
But Bryan remained completely composed, as if the matter were a golden opportunity.
One elder could no longer contain himself, clutching his chest and gasping for breath. What Bryan had done was truly a disgrace!
âIf you all find this so shameful, then letâs talk about me, as the eldest son, inheriting the family fortune today.â Bryan turned the tables, thwarting Brandonâs attempt to take control of EB Group and setting his sights on Apex Group.
Even scrap iron had value, let alone Apex Group with its solid foundation. Bryan knew this well. Even if things went south, he could sell his shares and give the profits he had earned to Eileen.
Bryan continued, âIf you agree, Iâll return to Apex Group and guarantee its revival within three years. The family dividends will be paid in full, andââ
Brandon couldnât take it anymore. He interrupted, âStop talking nonsense! You did all of this and still think you can demand Apex Group? Stop embarrassing us!â
Brandon then turned to the elders and said, âBryan has tarnished our familyâs reputation, so Apex Group must not be given to him. And thereâs definitely money from him in EB Group, just not publicly visible. We must make him return it all. It belongs to us!â
âIt doesnât matter if he feels ashamed; we shouldnât let his actions tarnish the entire Dawson familyâs reputation. I say we sever ties with him and expel him!â Brandon declared with conviction.
gⱯlnÏνð®âsï¹ðoðº is where stories live Bryan met Brandonâs gaze with cool detachment. âAfter you disown me, your eldest son, do you plan to have another son to take my place?â he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
The sting of his words left Brandon sputtering, like a cat suddenly stepped on its tail. The elders, unaware of Brandonâs undisclosed illness, mistakenly thought Bryan was ridiculing Brandonâs age and his ability to father another child.
âThat was uncalled for, Bryan,â Lydia chimed in. âEven if youâre not here, Travis will be. He just finished college and is more than capable of taking on responsibilities. He was educated abroad from a young age and could greatly benefit the Dawson legacy.â
âYes, and Travis is already recognized as a member of our family. If youâre out, heâs my only heir and will inherit the Dawson familyâs wealth,â Brandon said, fixing his eyes on Bryan.
