“Mr. Matteo, I heard that the current president of the Richards Group, Hansen, has been taken away by the authorities because of leaking confidential information via their luxury cars. Now, the Richards Group is managed by his wife, Jenna. Originally, we could have survived the project of A City, but the woman is really not an ordinary person. Her husband was taken away. Yet, in a short period of time, she calmlymanded the Richards Group. Her performance is watertight. Not only were they unaffected, but their business is also growing.” Darragh sighed.


    Matteo thought for a moment and nodded. “It’s not surprising. She’s the granddaughter-inw of the Richards family whom Vivian took a fancy to. Of course, she wouldn’t be like an ordinary woman. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have approved of Hansen’s marriage. Back then, many people wanted to be affiliated with the Richards family. However, Vivian rejected them. Even Johan’s beloved great-granddaughter, Jaqueline, was rejected by Vivian. Wasn’t there a rumor in Capital City? At the party back in the day, Johan told Vivian that he wanted Jaqueline to marry Hansen. However, Vivianughed softly and told Johan not to be partial, that Hansen already had a candidate, and he would marry Jenna. Of course, Johan was shocked when he heard that. Heughed along, and the matter was put to rest.”


    Speaking of the past, there were still doubts in Matteo’s heart. For Matteo, Vivian was being ignorant of the current situation. Who was Jaqueline? She was Johan’s great-granddaughter. Apart from Johan, his sons and grandsons were also important figures in Capital City. If it were someone else, then they would definitely agree to it with a smile. They would immediately send engagement gifts and fawn over with him. However, Vivian’s actions were genuinely unusual.


    Vivian forced her grandson, Hansen, to marry Jenna, whose family was declining and even had no money or support. All the wealthy families were confused about this at that time, but she was so reputable, and it was her decision on who she approved. Later on, an ident happened in the Richards family, and Jenna fled to the USA. When the news of Jenna’s divorce with Hansen broke out, many upper-ss people expressed their grievance for Vivian when they were at a gathering. Could it be that even though she was old, she still hadn’t experienced much, which ended up ruining her grandchildren’s happiness?


    Yet, a strange thing happened again!


    At that time, Hansen was proud of his divorce at the banquet, and he even spoke proudly of it. Johan harshly criticized Hansen in front of many business people and celebrities. Even a fool could hear from his tone that he was dissatisfied with Hansen.


    These actions were not only weird, but also hard to exin.


    Matteo had always attended such events. Therefore, he was confused when he saw this scene.


    However, this had nothing to do with him and he didn’t take it to heart.


    However, when Hansen and Jenna got married again, Vivian spent 500 million dors to hold the wedding for them. Matteo reallymented Vivian’s favoritism for Jenna.


    Wealthy families were tooplicated, and the Richards family was particrlyplex. This was the conclusion that Matteo had reached.


    “Mr. Matteo, what’s really puzzling is that Jenna, who was such a capable woman, has tolerated theshameless behavior ofa woman like Liya a few times. Liya has an embarrassing personality and poor taste. How could the Richards family tolerate and let her rely on Richards Group? Now, the Richards family is bing more and more difficult to understand.” Darragh looked like he was full of suspicion.


    Matteo snorted. “There must be a reason for her to do that. Liya is pregnant with a b*stard child. The Richards family has found an excuse. They might even use this as a reason to attack mypany. If something like this happens, then we’ll be in deep trouble. We can’t keep the child in that woman’s belly, and we don’t want such a woman to bear the Jones family’s children. We must quickly think of a way to get rid of it.”


    “Mr. Matteo, this is true. This Liya is really a rascal and a ruffian. She’s staying in Richards Manor now. I’m worried that one day she’ll use the child in her belly to me the Jones Group. That’ll be troublesome and would be the talk of the town. It will definitely damage our reputation. Furthermore, that woman iszy and only cares about pleasure-seeking. I really can’t guarantee what kind of things she’ll do.” Darragh realized the seriousness of the problem and agreed with him.


    Matteo adjusted his sses and his face turned gloomy.


    “Darragh, how is Zoe now?” Matteo diverted their topic to Zoe. Since Zoe was driven out of A City by Hansen, herpany’s situation had worsened. There was no way for her to rise again. For this reason, Matteo was already dissatisfied.


    “Mr. Jones, there’s no improvement with Zoe’spany. It seems that it will be difficult for her to make aeback in a short period of time.” Darragh shook his head.


    Matteo’s expression darkened. He sighed andmented, “This woman is too eager to advance. She’s ill-advised and insists on offending the Richards Group. She’s the one who brought this upon herself.”


    Darragh smiled and suddenly uttered mysteriously, “Mr. Matteo, it is rumored that the charge against the Richards Group is directed by Zoe. If they were found guilty, then the Richards Group would be punished. If so, there will be a good show to watch. Let’s wait and see what will happen. Maybe there will be a chance.”


    Matteo’s eyes lit up and he muttered to himself.


    Zoe was a terrifying woman. It was best to be wary of such a woman!


    “Mr. Matteo, the reason Zoe cooperated with our Jones Group is to take advantage of the situation and take revenge on Hansen. If that’s the case, then our Jones Group has to be careful. She will not be willing to think for us. Moreover, we are only her tools for revenge. Mr. Matteo, you have to think twice before acting.” Darragh’s analysis hit right on Matteo’s worries. He nodded, and a gleam of light shed in his astute eyes.


    In the Xanthe family residence in Capital City, the night was as quiet as the sea. It was calm and serene.


    “Dad, it’s a draw this time. This means that we’ll have to prepare ourselves for a fierce battle,” Sergio spoke anxiously to Yadriel, who was currently fiddling with his pistol in his room.


    Yadriel’s face tensed up and his gaze grew grim.


    “Sergio, did you see that? It turns out that a part of those who have promised us have already backed off. Have you seen it clearly now? This is the reality, and this is human nature. They obviously took our benefits, but changed their minds at thest minute. They are all inconsistent viins.” Yadriel gritted his teeth tightly and mocked hatefully.


    Sergio’s expression was unsightly. “Dad, you don’t have to care about such a viin. Conveniently, we also see through these people.”


    “That’s right. When ites to politics, one must be cold and unscrupulous. It’s the survival of the fittest. If you don’t have the steely heart or means, no one will surrender to you. They’re acting like this because we don’t have enough authority to make them submit themselves to us. Thus, power is absolute.” Yadriel’s eyes shed sinisterly.


    “Dad, can we take action now? Hansen has been under our control, and he can’t take any action anymore. The election will start soon, and we need this money now,” Sergio asked anxiously.


    Yadriel yed with the gun in his hand. “Hansen has already been sent to the secret area of Capital City by us.Every day, there will be people checking on him in turns. At least, they won’t be able toe out for the time being. However, Hansen’s people are still participating in the activities in the war-torn country. We don’t know what evidence Irvin has against us, but we mustn’t underestimate it. Also, Ezrah was forced by Hansen to testify against us on the moneyundering issue. This is also a problem. Although someone from the higher levels has held us off, for the time being, this will be a problem in the future. Moreover, an issue also arose on the conversion of the money into our ount. Obviously, the original method can’t be used.”


    “I didn’t expect Ezrah to betray us so easily. It seems that when we gain power, we will have to deal with him first.” Sergio couldn’t help but to curse, looking very angry. After a while, he smiled and continued, “Dad, don’t worry. Irvin doesn’t have any strong evidence of us so far.”


    “Why do you say so?” Yadriel narrowed his eyes.


    “It’s straightforward. If he really managed to obtain strong evidence, then Hansen would have long sincee to Capital City and taken us down. Why would hee to work with Luqman and waste so much effort topete for votes with us?” Sergio spected indifferently.


    “Yes, Sergio, you’ve made great progress. Your analysis is very reasonable.” Yadriel nodded his head in approval and chimed in slowly.


    “Well, we don’t need to worry. Sergio, you don’t need to go to A City these days. Let’s try our best to finish this deal first and then think about other things. These days, you will go to a ce to deal with the underground bank and prepare tounder the money.”


    Sergio nodded.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    In the five-star hotel, night fell.


    After taking a nap during the day, Hansen was in high spirits at night.


    “Mr. Matthews, what are you busy with?” he answered Christopher’s call and asked lightly.


    “Well, I’m busy like a bee. Whenever you’re in Capital City, I don’t have any good news.” Christopher, who was busy over there, bitterlyined.


    “Alright. When it’s done, I’ll treat you to a drink.” The corners of Hansen’s mouth curled up. “Prepare yourself. Bring some people with me to the war-torn country tomorrow.”


    “Why, Mr. Richards?” Christopher immediately resisted after hearing Hansen’s words. “For the sake of your family’s affairs, you are going to drag me, a sucker, to be a scapegoat? Besides, I still have work to do. I’ve already done my best when I transferred you to such afortable ce.”


    At this time, Hansen was lyingfortably on the couch, with one leg resting on the back of the other couch as he kicked a bottle of mineral water up high.


    “Christopher, will you die if you don’t do it? Couldn’t you do this in front of me? If it weren’t for Johan, then can you save me from Yadriel’s devil ws? Don’t think that I don’t know about it. I’ll let you know that I’m well aware of it.” Hansen’s face was full of contempt.
