    Chapter 1036


    While the two spoke, the man inside came out.


    Xavier stood up straight and looked at Weston. “IS everything taken care of? What are you going to do


    next?”


    Weston did not look at him. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked out, his eyes looking


    straight ahead.


    After that, he said faintly, “Follow the procedure.”


    Xavier followed him and looked at the rest who remained in the room. Warren was still sitting in the


    middle of the room. He looked grim , exuding the majesty of an elder.


    Guinevere silently wiped her tears. Her eyes were red and swollen. She looked nk as if her soul was


    out of the body.


    Chris and Wendy were leaning together to warm each other, but there was a sense of distance.


    These people were not in the right state to handle thepany‘s affairs. Weston had to take charge of


    Zachary‘s funeral arrangements in addition to taking the me from thepany‘s board of directors.


    This time, the scandal from the Ford family was too much. One scandal emerged after another.


    With the stock price fluctuating , the board of directors was desperate to have a solid ount. They


    needed Weston’s guarantee.


    Their rivalpanies were already spreading rumors. Competition and rivalry were inevitable in


    business battles.


    Ford Corporation‘s stock value evaporated overnight.


    While most people cared only about the gossip about the prestigious family, many stockholders were


    genuinely hurt by the scandals. If unchecked, this could severely damage Ford Corporation‘s reputation.


    Weston had to deal with it.


    Even Xavier, who had been fighting with him, felt Weston looked overworked and drained.


    “Do you need me to help you with thepany?” “No need.” Weston rejected it quickly. “You can‘t help


    much.”


    Xavier stopped dead in his tracks. “I‘m not as useless as you think.”


    “I know.” Weston rubbed his brow. He did not intend to show any sarcasm or contempt to him.


    He stated, “Thepany‘s projects overseas are on track. I still have to keep an eye on the progress.


    Once the n is confirmed and settled, I‘ll transfer some projects to you.”


    Xavier was puzzled. “What do you mean?”


    “It‘s what you think it is.”


    Weston looked him in the eye. “Haven‘t you beenpeting with me for the right to speak in the


    company?


    You don‘t have to fight anymore. I‘ll give it to you.”


    When Xavier heard that, his immediate reaction was to nce behind him.


    Daisy was not far away. She was smart enough not to follow them closely.


    Daisy knew they were talking and did not dare to disturb them.


    The rest of the group was still in the room.


    Xavier withdrew his gaze and looked at Weston for a few moments.


    He knew Weston was not joking.


    Xavier lowered his voice and said, “Let‘s talk on the balcony.”

    The wind was quiet. Xavier‘s heart was full of mixed feelings.


    Xavier lit a cigarette. He finally reacted when the cigarette burned to the end. “Are you serious?”


    Weston did not say anything. He tugged his cor sharply.


    “If you‘re going to be so nagging, don‘t waste my time.”


    With that, he turned to leave.


    Xavier hurriedly stopped him. “I mean, what do you want me to do?”


    There was no free lunch in the world. Although they were from the Ford family, Xavier still knew this.


    Weston stopped in his tracks. “You’re so smart. You


    shouldn‘t need me to tell you.”


    Xavier was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst outughing. “You‘re seriously...”


    Xavier wanted to be sarcastic and mock him for falling into a woman‘s hands despite his sess.


    However, the words remained stuck behind his lips. He could not say it


    out loud.


    “Have you really thought about it? Doing this all for a woman...”


    Weston furrowed his brow slightly. “You just have to tell me one thing. Can you do it or not?”
