Chapter Capítulo 581

Chapter 581 Bring the Inauguration Forward “We have testament from the bodyguards that Ryan became a senior researcher at the defense technology laboratory, so it must be true.

“Jesse’s connections to the military run deeper than we thought.

“He seems to have access to the laboratory functioning directly under Lilyrose Strategic Department.”

The three family heads expressed their horror. They regretted their actions more than ever.

The family heads knew a long time ago that Jesse had influence in the military.

Had they known, they would not have given instructions to Lilyrose Logistics to steal the equipment.

With Howard arrested, the top three families‘ businesses in freight and shipping would experience a major shakeout.

They would suffer massive losses and have reduced control over the city.

“It’s too late to turn back time. It’s not like Jesse will go easy on us if we choose not to go against Shangrila Group,” Belarus remarked.

The other two nodded in agreement.

Jesse re–established Shangrila Group to get back at the top three families.

Two days ago, Jesse sent a message through Lightning Tiger to get the Chapmans to move out of the Jade Estate.

The top three families were to attend James‘ death anniversary to pay their respects.

It was a showdown between the top three families and Jesse right from the start.

“The bodyguards also mentioned that Jesse White is the loser son–in–law of the Quints. Do you think it’s true?” Edward asked.

+15 BONUS Out of the three family heads, Edward resented Kaze the most.

His son, Eliot, was in a coma because of Darcy.

If Kaze was really Jesse, Edward could be sure that Kaze was the real reason his son was in a coma.

The supposed military drill was only an excuse.

Belarus scoffed. “It doesn’t matter whether it was true or not. We can’t look at the dimwit son–in–law of the Quints the same way anymore.

“Tomorrow is James‘ death anniversary. Jesse can be the idiot son–in–law’s alias or someone else’s, but one thing’s for sure, he’s going to seek us out and make a spectacle out of it.”

“Do you think our families can handle it?”

Edward and Flint fell silent.

Belarus had a point.

The question remained whether the top three families could stand firm against Jesse’s aggressive attacks.

“Damn it. Even in his grave, James haunts us. He could at least wait a couple of days before he died.

“Of all of the days to die, he had to die two days before Chief Commander Hiden’s inauguration.

“If his death anniversary was after the inauguration, we could befriend Chief Commander Hiden in time, and Jesse wouldn’t scare us.”

Sure, Jesse was a concern to the top three families.

However, these families always took one assumption as the truth..

They assumed Jesse never showed his face and acted secretively because the extent of his influence was not as great as Albert’s.

Albert must be able to restrain the guy.

+15 BONUS “No point talking about this now. We should dig into our network on both sides of the law to help out.

“If that doesn’t work, my family can just move out of the Jade Estate for now.

“We are resilient. The minor setback won’t kill us. It’s never too late to turn the tables on Jesse after the inauguration,” Belarus said menacingly.

“That’s the way to go.”

The other two nodded their heads in resignation.

A middle–aged man in military uniform was led into the room by the Goldings‘ housekeeper.

The man was Darcy’s uncle, Nelson Oceanid.

“What can I do for you?” the three family heads rose to their feet and asked the military personnel politely.

“I am Nelson Oceanid, the director of foreign affairs with the State Strategic Department. I’m presently on duty in Lilyrose and was tasked with meeting the head of the Chapman household, Mr. Belarus Chapman,” Nelson uttered courteously.

Startled, Belarus asked, “I am Belarus. What can I do for you?”

Nelson nodded.

“I received an order from Chief Commander Hiden that the inauguration is brought forward to tomorrow afternoon, and the venue has been changed to the Chapmans” Jade Estate.”
