Chapter 770
Chapter 770
In Australia, a living room of a luxurious villa, Jane Hughes's face flashed with an uneasy expression. Two days ago, her adoptive father, John Hughes, asked her to give him the names of the people she had placed in Hughes Group on a phone call.
In these five years, John had been imprisoned. He asked Jane Hughes to undertake the mission of infiltrating into the Hughes Group. To pay back John's kindness of bringing her up, Jane accepted.
Her heart was actually full of complications and uneasiness. She would gather some secrets of the Hughes Group from time to time, but Jane didn't know why.
She felt that her adoptive father had been ruthless, and now, after being in jail for a few years, he was old enough to give up the management of the company.
But Jane's thoughts were still too naive, she never thought that after John came out, he would still be staring at the position of the Hughes Family's ruler. This made Jane especially shocked.
However, Jane was also very respectful to John, because, even though she was an adopted daughter, John had always valued her greatly, gave her the best education since her childhood, and raised her to such an outstanding level so that she could live a good life. So, when John asked her for those lists, Jane only hesitated for a moment, and then gave him the most of the names.
John originally had a 30% share of the Hughes's, but after Edward became an adult, he inherited 35% of his father's shares, the remaining 20% was held by the Old Master Hughes, the rest was held by his cousins. After John committed crimes and was locked in the prison, the Old Master Hughes had set up a board of directors and retracted 20% of John's shares, thus, he only had 10% of the Hughes's shares left.
John's only son, Jack Hughes, had been actively developing his own companies abroad ever since his father was locked up.
Currently, he had also developed quite well, and among them, there was a technology company under Jack's hands that specialized in network information. After five years of saving, John and Jack's grand plan finally exploded.
John sent people to monitor Edward's movements.
With the existence of the two children, the old man definitely valued Edward even more, because he already had an heir, but his son was not married, and he didn't know when he would have a child.
For a powerful family like the Hughes Family, salivating over the successor was definitely a top priority.
It seemed that Edward had not only taken advantage of his time in prison to control the entire company, but he had also found a woman to be the first to give birth to two children.
What made John even angrier was that Edward had actually been hiding the existence of these two children from him. Was he afraid that if he found out about them, he would harm his children?
This move was clever and cunning, it really made John feel like he had a heart attack.
John had already investigated them, and the two elders doted on the two of them.
What John was most worried about was that the old man would overindulge and give his rights to the
two children, then Edward would become the strongest person in the clan. If he wanted to take back the rights to manage the company, it would be difficult for him to do so in his entire life.
The more John Hughes thought, the more uneasy he felt, the more anxious he became.
It was just that he had not found a suitable opportunity to attack, and this time, he did not dare be careless, he knew that Edward had also sent people to monitor his movements, and was preparing for it, but John could not wait any longer. From Jane, he received a piece of news that the old man's illness had already worsened when he was recuperating abroad, and the doctor had determined that he was only three years away.
He didn't think that the old man was really hiding it from the old lady, and even from the Hughes brothers. He didn't want them to worry, and furthermore, Jane knew that the old man Hughes had called for his special lawyer the very next day, probably because he is afraid that he won't live for long, so he quickly made his will.
Right now, John had two important things to do. The first was to attack the Hughes Family Group, and the second was to find an opportunity to see the contents of the old man's will. If he had the chance to change it, that would truly be great.
John was anxiously waiting for the chance to counterattack. He never thought that even the Heavens would help him, and the chance had really come.
The woman that Edward liked got into a car accident, he, who was the dignified CEO of the Hughes's, actually let go of his position and free time to take care of her at the hospital. It could be seen that he had a very good relationship with her.
Jane had also confirmed it from the side.
Edward liked this woman called Felicity a lot, and she had also gritted her teeth hatefully as to indicate that the biggest reason Edward liked Felicity was because she had given him two children.
No matter what, after this matter, John found another great opportunity.
Edward had a woman he loved.
To a man, falling in love with a woman would definitely become the biggest weakness of his life. Furthermore, currently, Edward wasn't only limited to that woman, he also had two cute children.
Of course, if he didn't have to force himself, John wouldn't dare to have any ideas about these two children. He was still thinking of turning the two elders around, and these two children were the two elders' most beloved great-grandsons, whoever dared to touch them would only have their brains flooded, no matter how bad John was, at the moment, he didn't want to make a move on the two children.
Jane rubbed her hands together as she raised her head to watch John walk down the stairs. His days in the prison did not seem to be good, he had lost a lot of weight, but his spirit seemed to be good.
He held onto a cigar, and when he saw Jane, he smiled, "Jane, you're back!" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Daddy!" Jane immediately stood up and shouted, "Daddy, you've lost weight again!"
John faintly mocked himself, "I think too much into things, so of course I'm thinner. However, seeing you return, I'm very happy. Today, I can have a good meal."
Jane still cared a lot about John. She walked over and hugged John, and asked in concern, "Daddy, are you in a hurry to find me for something?"
John patted her shoulder as his tone turned serious, "Daddy has decided to take over Hughes Family's authority. Would you like to be my assistant?"
Sure enough….
Jane looked at John in shock, she did not expect her guess was right.
