Chapter 1264 He''ll Be A Complete Failure


    As soon as Jeremy ended his sentence, the entire room fell silent.


    The Turner family members nced at each other in silence, their eyes revealing the cold fear that


    ran down their collective spine.


    After months of secret investigation, they suspected that Luke''s departure was most likely the result


    of one of Jeremy''s schemes. They just couldn''t figure out exactly how he had done it.


    Luke was no ordinary man. Under his steady leadership, the Turner Group had quickly grown into a


    major corporation in Barnes—sufficiently demonstrating hispetence and ambition.

    The mere fact that a young man like Jeremy had been able to force Luke to resign was proof that


    his methods were far more radical than Luke''s.


    This made the Turner family deal with the frail young man before them extremely cautiously.


    After pondering over the pros and cons for a while, all the members of the family smiled


    obsequiously at Jeremy.


    "Well, of course. We''repletely loyal to the Turner Group! With Mr. Button... No, with our CEO,


    Mr. Button, at the helm, I''m confident that the Turner Group will reach even greater heights than it


    already has!"


    "Precisely. Mr. Turner has reached retirement age, and it''s time for him to pass the torch to


    someone more qualified."


    Showered withpliments from the Turner family, Jeremy smiled softly. "I''m d you all think so. I


    hope we''ll be able to work together to make the Turner Group even more sessful."


    As he spoke, he raised his ss and made a toast to the Turner family members.


    They didn''t dare ignore him, and hurriedly raised their sses in return.


    Spurred by Jeremy''s hospitality and the steady stream of alcohol, the atmosphere slowly loosened


    up.


    One member of the Turner family caught sight of Brandon and J, and immediately whispered to


    Jeremy with a smirk, "Mr. Button, you might not be aware, but the customers you just apologized to


    at that table were none other than Mr. Larson of the Larson Group and his wife, J White."


    Following his gaze, Jeremy nced over to where the couple was seated enjoying a romantic


    ambiance. A mischievous smile immediately appeared on his face. "Mr. Larson of the Larson


    Group, you say?"


    The man nodded eagerly and remarked, "These days, the Larson Group is the number one


    enterprise in Barnes. Although Mr. Larson is new in the industry, he''s proven himself to be a force to


    be reckoned with, as he deploys brutal methods that we can''tpete with."


    Jeremy swirled the wine ss in his hand deviously, with his eyes beaming with confidence as he


    spoke arrogantly. "Not to worry. I believe that under my steady guidance and leadership, the Turner


    Group will outdo the Larson Group in no time. As for Mr. Larson..."


    He threw his head back, chugged the entire ss of red wine, and fixed his eyes on Brandon with a


    sinister smile. "He''ll be aplete failure in no time."


    The members of the Turner family, however, thought that Jeremy was simply bragging after having


    had one too many drinks. "Don''t


    underestimate him, Mr. Button. People who have opposed him in the past haven''t had a very good


    oue."


    What a coincidence! Anyone who dared to oppose him would have an unfortunate end!


    A smug smile appeared on Jeremy''s face, and he said intently, "Well, let''s just wait and see."


    He had been sessful at manipting Brandon from behind the scenes in the past, so it was no


    impossible task for him now.


    Now that he had acquired the Turner Group, he only needed a little more time to expand its


    business. Havingpleted that, he''d have enough leverage to take Brandon on face-to-face, with


    no need to manipte events from behind the scenes.


    Jeremy looked forward to that day eagerly.


    The mere thought of it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up in anticipation.

    J wasn''t enjoying her meal very much.


    She had a constant feeling that there was a hostile gaze upon her, watching her every move.


    When she tried to spot the person that might''ve been making her feel that way, she couldn''t, which


    her even more ufortable.


    So after a few quick bites, sheid down her cutlery and said, "I''m done, Brandon. Let''s go."


    Upon noticing that J had barely touched her food, Brandon couldn''t help but ask in a concerned


    tone, "What''s wrong? Does the food not taste very good? I can have them make something else for


    you, if you''d like."


    J forced a weak smile and replied, "No, not at all. I''m just a bit worried about Carly''s order. It''s


    made me lose my appetitepletely."


    Brandon let out a sigh of relief and chuckled, "You scared me for a second there. I thought it was


    something serious. Are you really worried so much about one small order that you''ve lost your


    appetite?" J pouted and grumbled, "I''m an independent designer now, and every client is


    important to me. I need to exin to Carly that I didn''t mean to offend her grandmother in the


    studio."


    Brandon then arched one eyebrow, and wore a mischievous look on his face. He jokingly whispered


    to J, "When would you be able to channel your passion for work into making babies instead?"


    "Brandon!" J''s face immediately turned a subtle shade of pink.
