After coming back from Aaron"s office...Duke "truthfully" reports the situation to Edward.
"Dad, I"ve tried my best to persuade my brother, but he"s very persistent... He said that in any case, he would not agree to be engaged to Miss Johnson."
At Duke"s words, Edward becomes angry, "This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Now he"s grown up, so he doesn"t take me seriously? If I don"t teach him a lesson, he won"t know who the real head of our family is!"
Considering the relations.h.i.+p between him and Aaron, Edward did not want to go too far at first.
Edward himself didn"t want to talk to Aaron personally for fear of losing face, so he asked Duke to persuade Aaron again.
But unexpectedly…
Aaron is so stubborn now.
At this moment, Edward finally can"t bear it.
Seeing Edward"s anger on his face, Jane quickly supports and comforts him, "Don"t be so angry, Edward. Calm down. Aaron has gone too far. I really don"t know why he"s dissatisfied with Annie. The date of engagement is coming soon. If Aaron still refuses to accept it, how can we explain to the Johnson family?"
"Edward, I have an idea. Duke is about the same age as Annie. They"re also very close to each other. Why not discuss with Frank to see whether Duke can replace Aaron? In this way, we have fulfilled our promise."
Jane finally says what she"s been thinking secretly.
She seems to be thinking about the overall situation, but in fact, she is just trying to satisfy her selfishness.
Hearing her words, Edward doesn"t think much about it. Instead, he says in an angry tone, "Wait till we really get there! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I"ll teach him a lesson sooner or later!"
Edward finishes and goes back to his study, calling his private lawyer.
After all, Frank has named Aaron as their son-in-law. Edward can"t suddenly replace Aaron with Duke.
After Edward enters the study...
Suddenly Jane becomes gloomy, who has initially been gentle.
She pats the table angrily and growls, "Fogey! He"s very old now. Why is his temper still so stubborn?"
Aaron is reluctant to marry Annie. Maybe he doesn"t know that the marriage is relevant to the inheritance of the Wilson family.
This is a golden opportunity for them.
She has hinted several times that Edward should replace Aaron with Duke, but...
The old man has insisted on Annie marrying Aaron.
The engagement is approaching day by day, and her persuasions are not working. How can she not be angry and annoyed?
Duke comes up and hands Jane a gla.s.s of water.
"Mom, don"t worry, we must have another chance."
Jane looks depressed and says, "The day of engagement is coming. How can I not be in a hurry? If your father really convinces Aaron to agree to the engagement with Annie, we"ll lose the right of inheritance. But we have been in the Wilson family for so long. How can we give up so easily? I"m not reconciled."
"Mom, it"s not easy for Aaron to promise to marry Annie. When I went to Aaron"s office today, I saw a woman running out of his office crying."
When Jane hears this, she gets shocked and puts down her cup. She asks doubtfully, "A woman? What kind of woman? What does she have to do with Aaron?"
After all, as everyone knows, Aaron never gets close to any woman.
But now a woman is running out of his office crying...
Perhaps there"s a big secret behind it.
Duke answers calmly, "I"m still investigating what their exact relations.h.i.+p is. But I guess it"s not that simple. Aaron must have something to do with that woman. Then we can take advantage of this woman. In this way, can their engagement ceremony go on smoothly?"
Jane seems to have calmed down after hearing Duke"s words.
"Duke, you must investigate clearly the relations.h.i.+p between this woman and Aaron as soon as possible. You are my own son. I really want you to get the inheritance of the Wilson family, even my dreams!"
Duke promises with a.s.surance, "Mom, you can rest a.s.sured! I will never let you down!"
The next morning...
As soon as Aaron arrives at his company, Edward is sitting on the sofa in the lobby waiting, with two young men, who seem to be lawyers, beside him.
Aaron slightly frowns when he sees Edward.
Edward seldom comes to see Aaron on his own initiative. Why does he suddenly come here today?
Does he not express his ideas clearly enough?
Edward even comes here with his lawyers.
Doesn"t Edward come for the engagement, but for breaking off relations with him?
After all, Edward is still Aaron"s father. Aaron walks over and greets, "Dad."
Edward looks at him seriously and says, "Do you have time? Sit down and have a chat."
Aaron replies respectfully, "Come to my office. This way, please."
Edward and two lawyers follow Aaron to his office.
Aaron prepares a cup of tea for Edward.
Edward snorts, "I don"t have the luck to enjoy your tea. Let"s get down to business. My Lawyers, start working."
At Edward"s command, the two lawyers immediately take the doc.u.ments out of their briefcases and begin to say, "Aaron Wilson, the money you"ve started this company with is provided by Edward Wilson, which means that it"s Edward Wilson"s plenipotentiary investment. Theoretically, your company also belongs to Edward Wilson completely."
"Now, Edward Wilson wants to take back the company. We have completed the handover procedure overnight. If there is no problem, please sign here."
Hearing the lawyer"s words, Aaron looks shocked, "What are you saying?"
The company he has worked so hard to build belongs to his father completely?
It has nothing to do with him?
Now, his father wants to take back his company?
Aaron doesn"t deny that the start-up fund of the company is from his father.
But after all these years, the start-up fund has already multiplied many times.
After all, it"s his hard-fought career, which has condensed his painstaking efforts for so many years.
Now, he has to return the company to the Wilson family unreservedly?
How can he accept it?
At this time, Aaron finally understands the purpose of Edward"s visit.
It turns out that Edward is forcing him to give in.
Oh! Sure enough, veterans are abler than recruits. Edward certainly knows what the most important thing for Aaron is!
Aaron gets angry instantly and grits his teeth, saying, "I don"t agree!"
