âYouâre a complete idiot,â Duncan said, exasperated.
He had always believed that he was proficient in the art of manipulating people.
For so many years, he had relied on his ability to see through peopleâs hearts.
That was how he ended up inheriting Nevada Corporation and becoming a powerful man.
Unexpectedly, he had suffered such a huge setback.
âI donât think youâre that smart either, Mr.
Smith!â Alexander smirked.
He really felt very happy to watch Alexander suffer.
âYou!â Duncan felt like his heart was about to stop beating.
Julian glanced at Duncan indifferently.
âNevada Corporation is in huge trouble.
Mr.
Smith, shouldnât you be focusing on how to explain this to the shareholders and law enforcement?â
âYou!â âMr.
Smith, if youâre not in a hurry, why donât we celebrate and have a drink together?â Julian mocked him coldly.
Initially, Nevada Corporation was on par with East Arising International Group and had Amigennâs support.
But unexpectedly, they had committed a grievous mistake.
Following this, it was almost certain that Nevada Corporationâs shares would plummet, and Duncan would face jail time.
Even if he found someone to be the scapegoat and take the fall for him, Nevada Corporation was doomed.
He would never be able to wriggle out of this mess.
For such a large-scale company, once the cash flow was cut off, there was no way that it could continue to survive.
It meant instant destruction.
Their partners would terminate existing contracts, their customers would ask for compensation, and the shareholders would also flee.
It was a vicious cycle that was difficult to resolve.
Therefore, people often said that it was easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it.
The higher the position a person was in, the more low-key and steady they had to be, and the more they had to be vigilant.
Matt urged softly, âMr.
Smith, we have to go.â They still had a lot of things to deal with.
Duncan snorted again.
âHmph! Weâll see about that!â He had never suffered such a huge setback in his life.
Most importantly, he felt like he had dug this pit for himself.
Julian sneered.
âOf course Iâll wait and see what happens next, Mr.
Smith.â âHmph!â Duncan was so furious.
He turned around and left.
He had too many things to deal with.
But once he got through this, the first thing on his to-do list was to teach Alexander a lesson.
What Duncan did not expect was that the media would expose Nevada Corporationâs scandals one after another.
Their public relations team could not suppress the media at all, and they could not delete the information that had been leaked online by the hackers as well.
It was as if someone was behind the scenes pouring fuel on the fire, and keeping the company in the spotlight.
Duncan knew that he was dealing with an international team of hackers.
and that they were tough opponents.
Now, the whole nation was boycotting Nevada Corporation.
Duncan was embroiled in a lawsuit.
It was impossible for him to get himself out of this mess.
In just a week, he felt like he had aged ten years.
He also lost eight pounds.
Matt was also in a terrible fix.
He had utilized all the resources he had, but he was still always one step behind.
Julian waited for an opportunity to arrange for Henry to expand the business overseas.
He asked Henry to bring Alexander along.
It was Alexanderâs first time working with Henry.
The two of them were able to work together well.
Meanwhile, the entire nation was watching Nevada Corporation.
People took the opportunity to buy their shares.
Alexander stayed up late every day to work.
It was like he was on steroids.
He and Henry worked overseas for nearly two months, and they managed to seize about 37% of Nevada Corporationâs shares.
At this point, Nevada Corporation was completely out of the list of the top 100 companies worldwide.
As for East Arising International Group, its ranking had risen again.
Now, it was in the limelight and was highly sought after.
After the market stabilized, Henry and Alexander returned to their home country.
Julian welcomed them with open arms.
They had a meal together at Julianâs house.
After the meal, everyone chatted on the sofa and watched TV.
Julian took out a document.
It was a contract.
The contract stated that Julian intended to give 10% of his shares in Parks Group and East Arising International Group to Alexander.
Alexander was shocked.
âJulian, what are you doing? I donât want this.â He was shocked and touched.
He didnât need these things, but his brotherâs sincerity touched him.
This feeling of being recognized and needed made him feel satisfied.
It made him feel that everything was right and worth it.
Julian said, âIâm giving this to my brother.
Henry, Trevor, and the others have also received this gift from me.
If youâre my brother, you should just take it.â Henry and Trevor also advised him, âTake it!â Henry put his arm around Alexanderâs shoulder and teased him, âBro, do you want it or not? If you donât want it, Iâll take it.â Trevor also said in a friendly manner, âTake it.
We all have a share in this.
We received our portion many years ago.â Julian looked at Alexander and nodded.
âTake it!â âThen, thank you, Julian!â Alexander Parks took the contract and signed his name without any pretense.
From then on, he was not only a shareholder of Parks Group, but also a shareholder of East Arising International Group.
âLetâs go to Trevorâs place and sing karaoke,â Henry said to Alexander with his arm.
around his shoulder.
Julian smiled and said, âI wonât be going.
I canât leave Annalise.
Itâs just a few days.
before the due date.â âItâs fine.
You guys go play.â Annalise rubbed.
her stomach and smiled.
âYes, go have fun.
Weâll be here,â Lee Xander said with a smile.
In the past, he had some prejudice against Alexander.
Later, when he found out that Alexander and Julian had joined forces to deal with Duncan, his impression had changed completely.
No matter whose son he was, Alexander was a good child.
âIâm not going.
Have fun,â Julian said.
âPlease join us.
Itâs rare for all of us to be together.
Things at East Arising International Group will get intense next month,â Henry said.
âGo,â Annalise said to Julian.
âAlright, go to bed early later.
Donât wait up for me,â Julian gently touched Annaliseâs stomach and said.
âOkay,â Annalise replied with a smile.
Everyone got up and prepared to go to Trevorâs place.
Annalise also got up and moved around a little before returning to her room to rest.
However, as soon as she got up, she felt something amiss.
She suddenly let out a cry and stood still, not daring to move.
âHoney, whatâs wrong?â Seeing Annalise so still, Julian was so scared that his face was filled with nervousness.
âMy water broke,â Annalise said.
Although she had never given birth, she was a doctor and knew what was happening..
âThe water broke.
What should we do? What should we do now?â Julian was panicking.
Lee Xander, Heather, and Trevor grew nervous.
âGo to the hospital now.
Julian, you take care of Anna.
Iâll drive.â Lee Xander was so scared that his voice was trembling.
Annalise comforted them helplessly.
âDonât be nervous.
Itâs normal for this to happen before labor.
Letâs go to the hospital now.â âOkay, okay, donât be nervous.
Weâre not nervous,â Lee Xander immediately said.
Heather had already rushed into the room.
and emerged with two big bags.
She said anxiously, âQuick, letâs go to the hospital.â Julian carried Annalise out of the door.
