Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals
Chapter 209 A Tooth for a Tooth The heads of the top families laughed for a while, sensing a bright future awaiting them.
Just then, Edward beckoned at his youngest son, Ethan.
âYou will assume the role of Chairman at Bersina Group, Ethan. We have lost Maurice and Toffle, those losers. Itâs time Bersina takes back the Everia family.â
Ethan was delighted.
His older brother, Eliot, had always outshone him.
With Eliot in a coma, the family leadership should now fall on Ethan.
Edward made Ethan the chairman of Bersina Group to see if he was up to the task.
âDonât worry, Dad. I will manage Bersina well.â
Ethan left Jade Estate with his sidekick in tow.
He returned with a heavy heart in less than an hour.
âHoly shit, Dad. Someone beat me to it and took Bersina Group right out of my hands.â
Ethan made a crying face, looking nothing like the swank he had before leaving the house.
Edward was enraged. âWho did it? Everybody knows Maurice and Toffle only managed Bersina for the Everias.â
Belarus and Flint were about to leave after a drink, but they turned around to ask who was responsible.
It had not been long since they took Hilfinger Corporation from the +25 BONUS Now, someone snatched Bersina Group from them instead.
Was it a tooth for a tooth?
Ethan said, âItâs a young man called Jesse White.â
Jesse White?
Even though the three heads of families never heard of that name, it was eerily familiar.
Belarus snapped out of his trance. âHe could very well be connected to James, who died two years ago.â
He was talking about James White of Shangrila Group.
Belarus, Edward, and Flint could still remember what happened then.
James died.
He went bankrupt, and his business changed hands-all were closely linked to the three top families.
âThatâs right. Jesse said that he was James The three furrowed their brows.
brother.
us said confusedly, âJames is an only child. Who is this Jesse âWho cares about his relationship with James? He deserves whatâs coming for taking what is ours.â
Flint, as fiery as his name suggested, was out for blood.
âYouâre useless to let him take the company right under your nose.â
Edward snapped an angry look at his son.
Ethan replied in grievance, âJesse was waiting there when I arrived at +25 BONUS for one dollar.â
It was now known that Maurice had betrayed the three major families.
That was not the shocking part.
Jesse somehow managed to call in some favors to get Maurice off the hook.
The three top families had tried bailing Maurice out but they did not even know the right person to talk to.
It appeared Jesse was resourceful.
Still, Edward uttered furiously, âEven if Maurice betrayed us, we own a majority share of Bersina. How could he possibly acquire the group for one dollar?â
Ethan was hesitant to talk.
âSpeak!â Edward yelled.
âDad, they pinned me onto the table and threatened to cut off my arm if I didnât agree to sell Bersina. They coerced me into persuading the representatives of Everiasâ shareholders to sign the papers.â
Gritting his teeth, Ethan told the truth.
Bam!
Edward knocked Ethan down to the ground with a kick.
âLoser! You useless loser! Beat it!â
Edward shouted angrily, his screams echoed through the estate.
Fear could be detected in his anger.
The three influential families knew that a resourceful Jesse was in town to avenge James.
+25 BONUS On the chairmanâs seat at Bersina Group was Kaze.
âI donât get it. Why are you going under the pseudonym Jesse White?â
Snow, who had just become the chairman of Lilyrose Bank, stood respectfully across Kaze.
She raised a question.
Kaze replied, âYou can quit guessing. The reason isnât as complex as you think. Iâm just trying to scare the top three families and let them live in fear of retaliation for once.â
