    “That’s right. Also, this will definitely make headlines,” Armand said. “Jack Yancey is going to be


    like a go d.”


    Samantha’s heart plunged immediately. She pulled a long face. “I don’t know what to do with Liam! He


    isn’t living up to expectations! Jack wouldn’t dare stop him from working in thepany if he wanted


    to, would he? All because of something the old man said! I don’t believe that my son isn’tpetent


    enough.”


    “Could Jack be threatening Liam?” Armand asked straightforwardly. “Can someone really be that


    disinterested in power and fortune? Liam owns half thepany so why won’t hee to work?”


    Samantha sighed softly. “I need to sit down and have a good talk with him when hees back. We’ll


    be forced to give up what’s rightfully ours if he continues to be stubborn like this.”


    “Mmhm.”


    Samantha came back to her senses and asked, “Do you think the partnership with Jared will


    materialize?”


    “The probability is 8, perhaps 9 out of 10.” Armand said, “I’m not clear about the specifics. Michael has


    been the one in charge from the start. Feels like Jack is always guarded against me, not letting me get


    involved in such a huge case. Even meetings with the board of directors are done in secret. There’s not


    much I can find out.”


    “This is so unfair for you.” Samantha was angry. “You’ve been working so diligently and steadily in the


    Yancey Group for so many years, staying despite all the big offers from otherpanies. Jack can’t


    recognize good talent. He should have at least promoted you.”


    “Don’t get mad,” Armand frowned. “One must control one’s emotions to achieve great things. I’ve


    always believed that hard work pays off. The longer he treats me this way and ignores me, the less of a


    threat I’ll be to him. Only then will he let down his guard. That will give me enough time and the right


    opportunities.”


    “You’re right,” Samantha nodded in contemtion. “Can you sabotage this potential deal?” All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “There’s no time,” he replied. “I only knew about Jareding today. He has already disembarked from


    his flight.”


    “Are they signing the deal today?”


    “Without a doubt, Jack will ensure that every arrangement and preparation for such an important matter


    is done meticulously, to the point of perfection, so we would need extremely careful nning if we want


    to mess this up for him. It would take time and the risk is too great. I don’t think it’s necessary.” Armand


    was more sensible.


    “Alright, I understand.” Samantha did not force it although she felt vexed.


    Jack Yancey was the type of person who worked in silence. He was low-key with everything he did, but


    his sesses tended to sneak up on and amaze the world. It was downright infuriating!


    At such a young age, he already had the economic backbone of the Yancey Group entirely in the palm


    of his hand.


    “So the probability of us getting Jack and Dawn together is quite low,” Armand spoke. “Jack won’t let us


    manipte him like that. He’ll turn his back on anyone who has anything to do with us.”


    “What about a shotgun wedding? Senior Yancey would approve of it. Jack would have to marry her


    even if he didn’t want to. Dawn is a beautiful youngdy, and he could learn to love her as time goes


    by.


    So…” Armand asked in a small voice. “Are you proposing we use the drug?”


    “It’s already prepared. I’m just waiting for Dawn to be back in the country,” Samantha said confidently.


    “The moment Jack sleeps with her, she will be his responsibility to bear. I’ll make it headline news if he


    doesn’t admit it. Senior Yancey would be absolutely disappointed in him by then, I reckon.”


    “This is quite risky,” Armand said after pondering on it. “Have you thought about that?”


    Samantha chuckled. “One must not be afraid of risk to achieve great things. I’ve made my decision. I


    hope you don’t try to stop me.”


    “Dawn’s itinerary has changed, it may take her about ten days to get back.”


    Anxiety wrought Samantha. “Can’t you get her toe back sooner?”


    “She can only return after attending an important viva, so this gives you time to prepare.” Armand was


    very calm. “You’ve be a bit impulsive over the past few years, Samantha, can’t seem to keep your


    emotions in check.”


    “Then wouldn’t Jack be flying even higher?” Samantha was in a bad mood. “I’ve nothing else to say.


    You can attend to other matters first.”


    “Take care of yourself. Be cautious when you’re with Senior Yancey,” he reminded her sincerely.


    “I know.”

    After the phone call, Armand looked out the window and took a deep breath. Nobody knew, but he had


    always been enduring silently.


    For his sister’s sake, Armand had to submit himself to The Yancey Group, to Jack Yancey. He was at


    Jack’s constant beck and call. After suffering quietly for all these years, he looked forward to the day he


    could gain leverage over Jack and destroy himpletely so that Liam could rece him. Then, when


    Senior Yancey kicked the bucket, the Yancey Group would finally belong to the Zieglers.
