Chapter 368 What Are You Afraid Of


    ''There were times when Winner got very annoying, but he was still my little brother.


    How can this happen? I never thought that death woulde to him so early, '' Jean thought.


    She grieved and nced away trying to stop her tears. identally, she noticed that Shirley was


    standing and staring at board directors. Her eyes were too bright to go with the sad expression she


    presented which shocked Jean.


    Her thoughts continued, ''If Shirley truly grieved for her little brother, she would be grieving instead of


    staring at these board directors.


    There is no sadness in her eyes! It is just a show she put on to fool us.''


    Jean felt deeply sorry for her little brother.


    ''No matter what, Winner was Shirley''s little brother by blood. Hearing his death, even I felt sorry but it


    seems Shirley doesn''t have humanity left in her.


    The pleasure in her eyes betrays the sad mask that she has put on.


    She is probably taking pleasure out of his death!'' Jean thought angrily.


    These thoughts put Jean into a sour mood and her face turned grim. She looked at Shirley, and


    suddenly an idea popped into her head.


    ''Stop!


    Jean, You can''t think of Shirley like that!


    She might not be a good person, but she is not bad enough to murder her own brother, '' Jean told


    herself.


    She hastily looked away in order to shake these thoughts off her head.


    "Mrs. Wen, please ept my sympathy," One of the board directors sadly said.


    Joy nodded with a lump in her throat. She wiped the tears off and said,"I didn''t mean to bring up this


    tragedy here but it is hard to hide my pain. But we don''t know the cause of Winner''s death yet. The


    police are still working on this case."


    Jean signed and thought, ''That exins why I heard nothing about Winner''s death.


    In the past few days, I didn''t detect a tinge of sadness on Joy''s face.


    Is it possible that Joy''s sadness was not real too?''


    "Since young Mr. Wen is gone, I think our CEO''s final decision is clear. Right now, in the Wen Family,


    Ms. Wen is the only one who is able to seed the Wen Group," said one of the middle-aged men that


    Jean met yesterday.


    Carefully, Jean took a look at him trying to analyze him. He noticed Jean''s scrutiny and looked back


    with a smile on his face. "Director Li, which Ms. Wen are you talking about? There are two of us here,"


    Jean questioned sounding interested.


    Now Director Li''s face turned red. He snorted and replied,"Some people already confessed their desire


    to leave all the attachments with the Wen Family, but still have the audacity to step in for business


    matters. Anyway, whoever has thergest shares of ourpany and the most recognition from our


    current chairman will be our next chairman."


    Hearing this, few people mumbled and started to talk.


    Without arguing with Director Li, Jean just looked at them with a smile on her face.


    The situation seemed to be in Joy''s and Shirley''s favor. They realized that their hard work in the past


    few days has finally paid off so they lit up with a happy expression.


    "As you said," Jean spoke in a loud voice and stopped everyone from their discussion. Now Jean


    looked at the white-haired Mr. Zhang straight into his eyes and continued,"The next chairman will be


    the one with thergest shares and the name on my father''s appointment book. Is that correct?"


    "Indeed." Although Mr. Zhang had no idea what Jean wanted, he nodded and agreed with her.


    "But, there is one thing I don''t quite understand," Jean said and frowned to show her confusion.


    "Jean Wen, this is not the ce for you to y around. If you have a heart, please leave us alone


    during this hard time," Joy replied, feigning sadness. Seeing Jean''s calm expression, Joy felt flustered


    and scared.


    "Dear stepmother, why are you trying to rush me out? What are you afraid of?" Now Jean had a cruel


    smile ying around her lips.


    "Are you kidding me? I am afraid of nothing," Joy retorted, looking extremely angry.


    "Well then, let me talk since you have nothing to hide." Jean stared at Joy and kept her eyes on her for


    a long time.


    "You!" Joy said, losing her patience. Being rebuked by Jean in such a manner made her want to run


    away with shame.


    "My father became the chairman of Wen Group with only 40% of shares. Why did Shirley try so hard to


    buy the other 10%?" Jean ignored Joy''s re and questioned.


    All the directors looked at each other. They started to think about the question Jean just brought up.


    Everyone began whispering. The doubts in their eyes made Shirley panic.


    Without anyone noticing, Shirley pulled Joy''s sleeve for help.


    Joy nced at Jean with hatred. Deep down, Jean felt satisfied watching the mother''s and daughter''s


    fear. Mustering the courage, Joy decided she had to do something. "Directors, don''t let her fool you.


    The extra 10% of the shares Shirley has is, of course, given by Henry," said Joy, in a trembling voice.


    "Stepmother, you have made me more confused now. Okay then, my father is thergest holder of the


    better than you about the financial crisis Wen Group has been through in thest 6 months. If the CEO


    had extra money to spend on these pointless shares, the marriage between Wen Family and Qi Family


    probably wouldn''t have taken ce under the condition of and."


    In truth, Jean wanted to indirectly bring up her marriage with Zed and mention why it happened.


    In other words, she wanted everyone to remember that she was sold for money.


    But her intent was not to disrespect Henry. All she wanted was to get back at Shirley and Joy.


    ''No need to speak anymore because the truth has already found their way to the board directors'' ears, ''


    decided Jean.


    Everyone listened and agreed to Jean''s words.


    Seeing this, Joy and Shirley started to panic even more. They felt their world shattering.


    "Jean! what do you want? Scaremongering is not going to help you be the next chairman. Listen,


    whatever you do, you don''t stand a chance,"


    Joy said in a croaky voice.


    Jean shook her head. Looking disappointed, she said,"Joy, for the sake of my brother and sister, I

    ept you as my stepmother. Although Shirley and Winner never thought me as their older sister, they


    are my family. Winner is gone, but..."


    Taking a pause to catch her breath, she looked at Shirley and continued,"I will take care of Shirley for


    you so that she won''t end up like Winner."


    "What are you talking about?" Joy asked. Surprise was evident on her face and she found Jean''s


    words hard to believe.
