Chapter 49 “That’s right. Also, this will definitely make headlines,” Armand said. “Jack Yancey is going to become like a go d.” Samantha’s heart plunged immediately. She pulled a long face. “I don’t know what to do with Liam! He isn’t living up to expectations! Jack wouldn’t dare stop him from working in the company if he wanted to, would he? All because of something the old man said! I don’t believe that my son isn’t competent enough.” “Could Jack be threatening Liam?” Armand asked straightforwardly. “Can someone really be that disinterested in power and fortune? Liam owns half the company so why won’t he come to work?” Samantha sighed softly. “I need to sit down and have a good talk with him when he comes back. We’ll be forced to give up what’s rightfully ours if he continues to be stubborn like this.” “Mmhm.” Samantha came back to her senses and asked, “Do you think the partnership with Jared will materialize?” “The probability is 8, perhaps 9 out of 10.” Armand said, “I’m not clear about the specifics. Michael has been the one in charge from the start. Feels like Jack is always guarded against me, not letting me get involved in such a huge case. Even meetings with the board of directors are done in secret. There’s not much I can find out.” “This is so unfair for you.” Samantha was angry. “You’ve been working so diligently and steadily in the Yancey Group for so many years, staying despite all the big offers from other companies. Jack can’t recognize good talent. He should have at least promoted you.”
“Don’t get mad,” Armand frowned. “One must control one’s emotions to achieve great things. I’ve always believed that hard work pays off. The longer he treats me this way and ignores me, the less of a threat I’ll be to him. Only then will he let down his guard. That will give me enough time and the right opportunities.” “You’re right,” Samantha nodded in contemplation. “Can you sabotage this potential deal?”
“There’s no time,” he replied. “I only knew about Jared coming today. He has already disembarked from his flight.” “Are they signing the deal today?” “Without a doubt, Jack will ensure that every arrangement and preparation for such an important matter is done meticulously, to the point of perfection, so we would need extremely careful planning if we want to mess this up for him. It would take time and the risk is too great. I don’t think it’s necessary.” Armand was more sensible. “Alright, I understand.” Samantha did not force it although she felt vexed. Jack Yancey was the type of person who worked in silence. He was low-key with everything he did, but his successes tended to sneak up on and amaze the world. It was downright infuriating! At such a young age, he already had the economic backbone of the Yancey Group entirely in the palm of his hand. “So the probability of us getting Jack and Dawn together is quite low,” Armand spoke. “Jack won’t let us manipulate him like that. He’ll turn his back on anyone who has anything to do with us.” “What about a shotgun wedding? Senior Yancey would approve of it. Jack would have to marry her even if he didn’t want to. Dawn is a beautiful young lady, and he could learn to love her as time goes by. So…” Armand asked in a small voice. “Are you proposing we use the drug?” “It’s already prepared. I’m just waiting for Dawn to be back in the country,” Samantha said confidently. “The moment Jack sleeps with her, she will be his responsibility to bear. I’ll make it headline news if he doesn’t admit it. Senior Yancey would be absolutely disappointed in him by then, I reckon.” “This is quite risky,” Armand said after pondering on it. “Have you thought about that?” Samantha chuckled. “One must not be afraid of risk to achieve great things. I’ve made my decision. I hope you don’t try to stop me.” “Dawn’s itinerary has changed, it may take her about ten days to get back.” Anxiety wrought Samantha. “Can’t you get her to come back sooner?” “She can only return after attending an important viva, so this gives you time to prepare.” Armand was
very calm. “You’ve become a bit impulsive over the past few years, Samantha, can’t seem to keep your emotions in check.” “Then wouldn’t Jack be flying even higher?” Samantha was in a bad mood. “I’ve nothing else to say. You can attend to other matters first.” “Take care of yourself. Be cautious when you’re with Senior Yancey,” he reminded her sincerely. “I know.” 1/2 10:38 Chapter 49 After the phone call, Armand looked out the window and took a deep breath. Nobody knew, but he had always been enduring silently. For his sister’s sake, Armand had to submit himself to The Yancey Group, to Jack Yancey. He was at Jack’s constant beck and call. After suffering quietly for all these years, he looked forward to the day he could gain leverage over Jack and destroy him completely so that Liam could replace him. Then, when Senior Yancey kicked the bucket, the Yancey Group would finally belong to the Zieglers.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
