Chapter 362 Jonathan Got a Hard Beating

“But Jon is a Whitman too. He’ll slowly mature.” Preston sounded harsh. “Dad, transfer him back to the

board.”

“I can’t meddle in this since I’ve long left the Whitman Group in that brat’s care. Tell him if you have any

opinions.” Harold shirked responsibility because he did not want to meddle in

this.

“Dad, you

know Joe will disagree. That’s why we came to you.” Octavia refused to give up.” You can’t play

favorites. Jon’s hip is all swollen and red from being kicked.”

“Go and make some achievements before you come bargaining. We can use money to help Jon grow

up, but he has to have something to show for it.”

Octavia fumed with anger. ‘Fine, we’ll make some achievements! My son is the best. He’ll make some

achievements soon and defeat Joseph!’

Chloe carried the birthday cake she made and a present she bought and walked into the Whitman

family home. When she saw the dozens of luxurious cars parked in the yard, her lips twitched slightly.

‘Patrick tricked me! But I’m already here, so I can’t just leave.’

Chloe submitted to her faith and walked into the house behind the helper. She prayed that she would

not bump into Joseph and Xavia.

The hall was meticulously decorated. The gifts were piled high up. It was both luxurious and

extravagant.

Chloe looked around. Other than Ginny, she saw Natalie and Noah too.

Noah glanced over. He was wearing a black suit, which set off his fair skin. His handsome and youthful

facial features, coupled with his rosy lips and white teeth, appeared bright and unique among the

crowd. He was indeed prettier than girls.

When their eyes met, he smiled at Chloe and walked over to her.

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect to see so many people here.” Chloe smiled helplessly and bitterly.

“You didn’t want to come?”

“What do you think?” She blinked and put on a serious expression. “Do you think I should come given

my current identity?”

“Yes, it is indeed inappropriate,” Noah echoed her words before he glanced at her slim wrist.

She was not wearing the bracelet that Icarus gifted her.

Jonathan, who fell on the floor, held his aching hips. He was struck dumb on the spot, glaring at Joseph

with a wide-eyed gaze. He was engulfed in fear.

“Or should I thank you for rejoicing secretly after my father passed away?” Joseph leaned over a bit

and slapped Jonathan several times. It appeared like he did not exert himself, but

Jonathan’s face became red and swollen. “Hmm? Tell me. How should I thank you?”

“No, you don’t have to thank us. Joe, we’re family.”

Joseph savored the word in his mouth and scoffed. “Family…”

Yes, they were a family. They fought and schemed against him, hoping that he would die.

As the person in power within the Whitman Group, Joseph kicked Jonathan out of the board of

directors, making him an administrative director who held no power. As for the finance manager who let

Jonathan act wilfully, he was fired. Joseph then put his man on that post.

Octavia went to Harold to complain about it with Jonathan during the birthday party at night. ” Dad, Joe

is out of the line. He’s not the only one who owns the Whitman Group. Jon has some shares too. Even

if he is to withdraw from the board, we need everyone’s vote to decide on that.” Her face distorted with

the overwhelming indignation she felt.

Similarly, Preston said seriously, “That’s right. Joe even hit Jon. He’s out of the line.”

Harold was in a good mood at first but now it was ruined. He glanced at Octavia disdainfully. ” Why

didn’t you say this when you were investing? Jon should pay the price after making a mistake. You’re a

grown-up, so don’t you know that?”
