Chapter 157 Father and Son Become Enemies
Chapter 157 Father and Son Become Enemies
Hostility glinted in Johny's eyes.
They were cold and ruthless at that moment.
"Are you threatening me? Johny, how can you threaten me now?" Jack didn't take him seriously at all.
He then leaned back. His eyes were slightly narrowed with ridicule.
Now that the Eagle Group was declining, so Johny didn't dare to offend his fiancée's family. He didn't
know in what way Johny would pose a threat to him.
"To be your enemy," Johny answered.
Hearing his words, Jack suddenly burst into laughter.
He stared at Johny in a sarcastic manner.
It was ridiculous for his son to turn against him.
"Do you think you are qualified?" Jack provoked Johny.
"I will resign from the president of the Winsor Group," Johny said firmly.
Jack finally took it seriously. He didn't expect that Johny intended to give up the family business for that
woman.
"You're so stupid! Do you think she worth it?" Jack felt incredible.
Johny's decision was no different from a king giving up his country for a beauty.
Everyone dreamed of being the president of the Winsor Group and the heir of the Winsor family. How
could he give up?
"Yes!" Johny's answered with a kind of intimidation.
After a while, Jack sat down. He shook his head, "No, you can't do it. If you dare, I will make the Eagle
Group disappear immediately."
Johny wore a cold smile. "I know why you are eager to be connected with Annie's family by marriage.
During the years I had been gone, Henry caused a lot of internal and external problems. The company
seems to be going smoothly, but actually it has been corrupted for a long time."
Jack narrowed his eyes and looked at Johny.
What he said was true.
During the time when he handed over the company to Henry, he had been controlling it and giving
guidance to him. However, since he was getting old and had many other things to do, he couldn't take
all the issues into consideration.
The time of three years was enough for Henry to destroy the company. Besides, in order to empower
his party, Henry had brought in some useless people. He was greedy, so were his subordinates.
Thanks to the years of great foundation of the Winsor Group, the decline of the company was not easy
to be found. However, Jack was clear that the Winsor Group was no longer as prosperous as it had
been in the past due to the cash flow problems. Therefore, he had to make a connection with other
group through marriage.
Annie's family was a perfect partner for they were rich in property and could help the Winsor Group
build their market in Augsta. Being connected with them was the best choice.
Johny said, "At present, many projects require a large number of funds. To ensure that the Winsor
Group could regain its prosperity meant to push forward these projects together. But how can you get
funds? You need the help of Annie's family. Am I right?"
No one knew more about the Winsor Group than the two of them.
Jack didn't intend to hide the truth from Johny because the company would be taken by him in the
future. In this case, they were on the same side.
"Annie and I have been already engaged. If I am against you, which side do you think her family will
stand on?"
Jack stared at his son coldly. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
His anger was wrought up to a high pitch. He was really disappointed with his son.
"I don't need their help, as long as they are remain neutral." Jack answered.
Johny stood up, "I'll give you one last chance. Let her go and I will pretend that nothing ever happened.
But if you don't, I will..." he said.
Johny didn't finish the last sentence but just snorted.
"How dare you!" Jack slammed the table and stood up. He covered his chest and gasped.
He didn't expect that Johny would actually rebel against him!
And in such a radical way!
He then raised his hand and slapped Johny in the face.
Johny didn't move. Jack was gasping for breath because of exhaustion.
"Look at how tired you are. What else can you do?" Johny said to his father.
"Get out!"
Jack roared.
"Alright, I'll wait for you to call me back." Johny walked out.
Falling back to the chair, Jack coughed hardly, and then sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
The next day, a shocking piece of news came out.
It said Johny resigned from the president of the Winsor Group.
People couldn't understand why he resigned after the engagement. Did that mean he's also giving up
his position as the heir of the Winsor family?
When Annie was engaged, her parents were settled in the Winsor Hotel. Hearing of the news, they
were also shocked.
Annie's family wanted to be connected with the Winsor family through marriage in order to help them
get stronger in A Country and to expand their businesses around the world. However, they didn't
expect that Johny resigned from his position as the president.
Annie knew nothing about business, so she didn't care about it.
Annie's father, Aldrin, a foreign-born citizen of A Country, was pacing back and forth in the room.
"Dad, stop walking. You make me dizzy!" Annie complained.
"Something went wrong. How couldn't you care about it at all?"
"You're just kidding, dad." Annie sneered.
"Do you know what difficulty we are facing after Johny's resignation?" Aldrin said.
Annie shook her head.
"Do you know which side we are going to take after your engagement? Johny's side or the Winsor
family's side?" Aldrin continued.
It was difficult for him to make the decision.
His daughter would be Johny's wife in the future, so she should be on Johny's side. However, Johny
only had his Eagle Group. If he really turned against the Winsor family, the Eagle Group would be of no
use to him.
However, if he supported the Winsor family, he had no reason to make Annie be against Johny.
"Let's go right now. Come back to Augsta with me immediately. We won't get involved in this conflict
anymore!" Aldrin said to Annie.
"What?" Annie asked in surprise.
"We will remain neutral. Let's see who will win in the end!"
Aldrin then called the secretary to book their tickets back home.
