Matthew Marshall glanced over the plan.
He furrowed his brows, his eyes met with his grandfather in surprise, âDoes my elder brother know about it?â
Alexander Marshallâs expression was inscrutable, âOnly you and I know about it. Not a third person can know. Do you have confidence to carry out the plan?â This task of such importance was surprisingly appointed to Matthew, leaving him both overwhelmed and incredulous.
Because, although his parents loved him, he had never received his grandfatherâs approval since childhood.
He had also never been trusted with significant tasks by his grandfather before.
In the past, his grandfather only had Daniel in his eyes, the sudden olive branch from him made Matthew hesitate unconsciously.
âYou donât want to take this acquisition case? You feel itâs hard for you?â Alexanderâs gaze was sharp to a point where it felt like it could pierce Matthewâs thoughts.
Matthew felt a shiver running down his spine under the fixed stare of his grandfather, âGrandfather, Iâll do my best to acquire Jenkins Group and will not disappoint your expectations.â
The cold, hard lines on Alexanderâs face relaxed slightly, âIf you have any problems, tell me directly. If the news is leaked, you will bear the consequences. â
âI understood!â
âAfter a few years of honing, you can do it.â âGrandfather, I will work hard to learn.â âAlright, you can leave now.â
Matthew stood up and walked out of the study.
The moment the study door closed, he knitted his brows, his eyes squinted.
Pretending to inform her son about breakfast, Bella Thompson entered her sonâs bedroom.
After a cautious glance around, Bella asked in a whisper, her voice tinged with impatience, âYour grandfather called you to the study early in the morning. What did he say to you? Was it good news? Is he going to trust you with more responsibilities? Did he mention anything about asking your elder brother to resign?
If the Jenkins werenât controlled by his sister-in -law, the acquisition would surely be good news.
Yet with this complex relationship and considering his elder brotherâs reaction, it could potentially lead to a face-off between the brothers, making the acquisition case quite tricky.
If he truly wishes to take the CEO position at Marshall Corporation, he must accomplish his grandfatherâs task.
Considering his elder brotherâs current network and power, their grandfather may not dare to make impulsive decisions.
Therefore, even if his elder brother openly defies their grandfather, their grandfather is only temporarily disappointed in him and has not reached the point of giving up on him.
After all, their grandfather cares for profits the most.
Hearing his grandfatherâs sudden command to secretly execute the plan to acquire the Jenkins Group, Matthewâs feelings were mixed, even at this moment.
He wasnât quite sure about his grandfatherâs intentions either.
Matthew looked at his mother and calmly said, âNothing special, he told me to learn more from my father.â
Bella Thompson smiled, in a good mood, âSon, make sure to learn with all your heart, and your grandfather will certainly notice your effort. Someday, he will acknowledge you and undoubtedly entrust you with significant responsibilities. As Daniel is being reprimanded, this is the best opportunity for you to replace him.â
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Matthewâs mouth, âMom, I will not disappoint you or Uncle. I will strive to be better than my elder brother and become an outstanding businessman.â
Bellaâs smile deepened, her eyes twinkled with cunningness.
After waiting for so many years, she finally saw the dawn of hope.
They, mother and son, must seize this opportunity, root out Daniel.
âYouâre the best, son, I believe in you! Change your clothes and come down for breakfast, your father is downstairs.â
Matthew nodded.
As Olivia Jenkinsâs car left the Pearl Lake villa area, Xiang immediately drove
up to stop her.
Suddenly, Olivia slammed the brakes, taken aback.
Xiang got out of the car angrily, knocked on the window, and gestured for Olivia to get out..
