Chapter 780: Chapter 783: Dealing with the Gray Family and the Company behind Bastion (Extra 1)
“Miss, these are the documents sent from Eastonia. The woman named Lena Hammond you asked us to find is indeed no longer with Gray Entertainment.”
“As for Mr. Oliver Ford, it seems he is currently being held up in M Country by the Ford family. The shares he held in Bastion Group have all been bought by anotherpany.”
On the airne, Sadie flips herptop around for Lily to examine the documents onscreen.
Upon receiving theptop, Lily tells her, “Just call me Alice when we’re in Eastonia. You can also call me Lily, that’s my Eastonian name. Remember, stop calling me miss.”
“Okay, Alice. I understand,” replies Sadie.
Seeing Sadie acquiesce, Lily smiles gently and continues reviewing the documents in hand.
Her eyes suddenly widen as she reads the details shown on the screen.
“Alice, what’s wrong?” Sadie asks worridly.
“Thepany that acquired Bastion Group’s shares… it’s called Weldon?”
“Yes, it’s called Weldon,” Alice finds this strange, “Is there an issue with thatpany?”
“No, nothing. Continue,” Lily shakes her head.
Relieved that Lily was fine, Sadie continues her exnation.
“A few years ago, the Weldon Group was already quite well known. They owned the most cinema chains in M Country and were very influential. About four and a half years ago, they were suddenly acquired by an anonymous businessman from Eastonia.”
“Now, he has be one of the most powerful yers in the global entertainment industry. Especially sincest year, after Weldon Group started a partnership with Wellington Entertainment in Eastonia, they have created a win-win situation.”
“Wellington Entertainment also partnered with them?”
Dn Wellington and Aidan Lucas coborating isn’t surprising.
But when did Aidan Lucas get involved in the entertainment industry?
“Yes, the rtionship between Wellington Entertainment and Bastion Group isplex. I heard from Madam that you haven’t paid any attention to Eastonia’s news for many years. You may not know, but these twopanies have now be the giants in Eastonia’s entertainment industry.”
“As for your Gray Entertainment, they had a good partnership with Wellington Entertainment. However, from about a month ago, Wellington started overtly targeting Gray.”
“As for the Bastion Group, I don’t think they did this on purpose. It’s just that Bastion and Gray have always depended on each other. Add to that the information we found suggests that the Ford family has been pressuring Mr. Oliver Ford’s business. Thus, he had no choice but to sell his shares.”
“Mr. Ford is pretty loyal though, he didn’t touch any of your shares.”
So, this means that Dn Wellington is indeed purposefully suppressing Gray Entertainment.
But the acquisition of Bastion Group by Weldon Group may just be a coincidence.
Because Gray and Bastion are on good terms and Oliver Ford was in a tight spot financially, this was just a normal acquisition without other ulterior motives.
However, even if that’s the case, Lily still feels ufortable.
Not many people know about her rtionship with Bastion. Dn Wellington and others might not know, so not suppressing out of malice is possible. But almost everyone who knows her is aware of her ties to Gray.
What is Dn Wellington trying to achieve by deliberately targeting Gray?
As for the anonymous Eastonia businessman who acquired Weldon Group,
Heh, others may not know, but how could she possibly not know who it is.
Aidan Lucas had specially acquired thatpany to please her.

The original intent when giving it to her was to help make up for the resource deficiency in Gray Entertainment, allowing it to better capture the market in the future.
But back then, she rejected it.
After she rejected it, the Weldon Group naturally remained in Aidan Lucas’s possession.
But now…
