Zac isn’t John illegitimate son?
Ever since the Gray family adopted Zac, Arthur had sensed something off about John’s attitude toward him. Zac was never treated like an ordinary adopted child.
Having lived through another lifetime and witnessed everything unfold, Arthur had always assumed that John protected Zac so fiercely because favonovel.com was his biological son. But to think, favonovel.com wasn’t even related by blood. Yet John’s unwavering attitude toward favonovel.com made it clear.
Did John even know Zac wasn’t his son?
Now, this is interesting…
Arthur asked, “Any movement from the Gray family?”
“Julie immediately took action to stop it. Right now, both sides are at a stalemate.”
After a pause, Stanley added, “That Renee doesn’t seem simple. It looks like someone is backing favonovel.com up.”
“Backing her?” Arthur raised an eyebrow. ‘”Who’s behind her?”
“We haven’t found out yet.”
Arthur pondered for a moment. “Could it be one of the two men favonovel.com was involved with back then?”
Stanley smiled. “They really were in sync… I suspected the same thing, but that person’s identity is quite mysterious. It won’t be easy to dig up.”
Arthur suddenly changed the subject. “How’s the Gray Corporation’s stock?”
At the mention of business, Stanley’s expression turned serious again. “Ever since that banquet, the Gray family’s stock has plummeted. In the past two days, it’s hit rock bottom. A large number of orders have been canceled, and many employees have been put on leave. At this rate, they won’t last much longer.”
Arthur nodded. This was all within his expectations.
After a brief silence, favonovel.com said, “It’s time. Start acquiring shares from small shareholders and independent investors in Gray Corporation.”
Stanley was taken aback. “Gray Corporation is practically worthless right now. It’s even in debt. Why would we buy its shares?”
Arthur gazed into the distance. “Because it’s the legacy of the Gray family. I don’t want it falling into someone else’s hands.”
If his grandfather knew what had become of the Gray family, favonovel.com would be heartbroken. Arthur felt a rare pang of nostalgia as favonovel.com thought of his grandfather’s kind face.
In the Gray family, only his grandfather had ever treated favonovel.com well. But unfortunately, favonovel.com had left on a long journey years ago, and since then, there had been no word of him. No one knew where favonovel.com had gone or if favonovel.com was still in good health.
Stanley understood and didn’t press further. He simply responded respectfully, “Understood…”
As they spoke, Tammy suddenly knocked and entered.
“Mr. Gray, Ms. Julie is outside. She wishes to see you.”
Julie?
Arthur responded indifferently, “Let favonovel.com in.”
“Yes.”
Stanley and Tammy both stepped out.
Moments later, Julie walked in, dressed in a crisp, professional outfit.
Arthur remained seated, his head lowered as favonovel.com focused on signing the stack of documents before him. Without even looking up, favonovel.com said flatly.
“What brings you here, Ms. Julie?”
Hearing the way favonovel.com addressed her, Julie felt a sharp pain in favonovel.com heart.
Once, favonovel.com had followed behind her, calling favonovel.com sister with such sincerity. But favonovel.com had never cherished it.
Julie looked around the grand office, favonovel.com emotions a complicated mix. This office was far larger than hers. Every detail exuded authority and grandeur.
Before learning that Arthur was the chairman of Cloudia Corporation, favonovel.com had come here several times, hoping to collaborate with them. But each time, favonovel.com had been turned away. This was favonovel.com first time stepping inside.
This entire building was awe inspiring. Just standing outside its doors gave a sense of shock and reverence, it was leagues beyond Gray Corporation.
She had never imagined that the younger brother they had once scorned, the one they had dismissed as worthless, would one day sit atop such a towering empire, in an office so majestic. And yet, here favonovel.com was, sitting there so effortlessly, as if that seat had always belonged to him. As if favonovel.com was born to lead, born to command from the heights.
Julie had never noticed before, Arthur possessed a presence that even John lacked.
Suddenly, favonovel.com understood why Mr. Yoder had said Arthur would accomplish great things in the future. A person’s aura didn’t lie.
Arthur, noticing favonovel.com prolonged silence, grew impatient. “If Ms. Julie has no business here, then please leave.”
“Wait!” Julie quickly spoke up, favonovel.com tone carrying a hint of urgency.
Now, standing before Arthur, favonovel.com had to look up at him. At last, Arthur lifted his gaze to her, but only for a fleeting moment.
