Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Don’t Know Who’s Unlucky Again
After dinner, the old man looked at his lazily dressed grandson in casual home clothes and asked, “What’s with the news about your illness exposure?”
“Just that,” Brandon Piers responded with a careless look on his face.
“Did you do it yourself?” The old man, not fooled by him, asked angrily.
Brandon raised an eyebrow. “Grandpa, you’re well-informed.”
“Hmph, keeping it from me. It looks like your wings have hardened. What exactly are you planning? You don’t want that five percent? Are you planning to acquire other small shareholders?” The old man finished and knocked his cane.
“Just being prepared.” Speaking of the Green family’s five percent shares, Brandon had always been puzzled. According to his research, the shares were in Lincoln Green’s hands. But from their interactions during this period, he discovered that Lincoln never revealed the existence of these shares to anyone, even when the company faced difficulties, which was very strange.
Moreover, the Midsummer Trust was extremely tight-lipped, with a powerful force backing it. Not that it couldn’t be provoked, but provoking it would be too troublesome.
His usual principle was to achieve the greatest benefit with the smallest cost.
Of course, Abigail Green was an exception.
Not only troublesome but also unrewarding.
Brandon didn’t understand why he thought of that chubby girl while talking to his grandpa.
The old man gave his grandson a deep look after hearing his words. “Are you planning something bad again?”
“Grandpa, do I look like that kind of person?” Brandon’s handsome face was full of innocence.
The old man snorted, believing none of it. “When do you plan to talk to Lincoln Green? I see your two uncles seem to have their eyes on the Green family. It’s best to resolve this matter quickly.”
“Mm.” Brandon replied softly. He was naturally aware of the movements of those in the second branch.
Seems like he needed to aggravate the Stone family further.
If Clark Stone and Ruby Green successfully married, even if Lincoln Green was a fool, he’d favor the chubby girl.
Thinking that, Brandon’s amber, narrow eyes were filled with a subtle, ambiguous smile. Seeing this, Pullan, fanning himself beside them, shivered and thought to himself, “I wonder who will be unlucky next.”
Since the mishap in the last live stream, although Mona Wilde remained highly popular, her reputation had plummeted, losing even half of her original die-hard fans.
Moreover, after being interrogated at the police station for a few days, she looked quite haggard.
After being released by the police, she stayed home for a few days. Today, she received a call from an investor and hurriedly tidied up before rushing out.
Peach Blossom Cove is one of the top bars in Gills City. Because of its elegant name, it attracted many people with a love for elegance. Moreover, Peach Blossom Cove wasn’t just a bar. It also included a KTV, disco, performance hall, swimming pool, fitness center, restaurant, and even a hotel, providing truly all-in-one service.
Mona Wilde came to the restaurant at Peach Blossom Cove today, right next to a five-star hotel.
This investor had been rejected by her a few times before. But now, with her reputation ruined and facing a lawsuit, she desperately needed the investment and couldn’t be as selective as before.
However, once there, Mona realized that Clark Stone and Ruby Green were right opposite them.
Since the last incident, the two had become bitter enemies. Mona had always held a grudge against Clark for kicking her when she was down and was well aware of how Ruby used her to climb up.
But compared to Clark Stone, Mona hated Ruby Green even more.
They were from the same small city. Why should Ruby Green get to be the high and mighty rich lady?
Seeing them together now reminded her of the rumors in their circle. Clark Stone was to get engaged to Ruby Green, but Ruby had always resolutely refused.
Thinking of Clark’s nature and holding a grudge against both of them, Mona Wilde suddenly smiled wickedly.
