Chapter 209 A Tooth for a Tooth 

The heads of the top families laughed for a while, sensing a bright future awaiting them. 

Just then, Edward beckoned at his youngest son, Ethan. 

“You will assume the role of Chairman at Bersina Group, Ethan. We have lost Maurice and Toffle, those losers. It’s time Bersina takes back the Everia family.” 

Ethan was delighted. 

His older brother, Eliot, had always outshone him. 

With Eliot in a coma, the family leadership should now fall on Ethan. 

Edward made Ethan the chairman of Bersina Group to see if he was up to the task. 

“Don’t worry, Dad. I will manage Bersina well.” 

Ethan left Jade Estate with his sidekick in tow. 

He returned with a heavy heart in less than an hour. 

“Holy shit, Dad. Someone beat me to it and took Bersina Group right out of my hands.” 

Ethan made a crying face, looking nothing like the swank he had before leaving the house. 

Edward was enraged. “Who did it? Everybody knows Maurice and Toffle only managed Bersina for the Everias.” 

Belarus and Flint were about to leave after a drink, but they turned around to ask who was responsible. 

It had not been long since they took Hilfinger Corporation from the

Now, someone snatched Bersina Group from them instead. 

Was it a tooth for a tooth? 

Ethan said, “It’s a young man called Jesse White.” 

Jesse White? 

Even though the three heads of families never heard of that name, it was eerily familiar. 

Belarus snapped out of his trance. “He could very well be connected to James, who died two years ago.” 

He was talking about James White of Shangrila Group. 

Belarus, Edward, and Flint could still remember what happened then. 

James died. 

He went bankrupt, and his business changed hands-all were closely linked to the three top families. 

“That’s right. Jesse said that he was James

“Who cares about his relationship with James? He deserves what’s coming for taking what is ours.” 

Flint, as fiery as his name suggested, was out for blood. 

“You’re useless to let him take the company right under your nose.” 

Edward snapped an angry look at his son. 

Ethan replied in grievance, “Jesse was waiting there when I arrived at

for one dollar.” 

It was now known that Maurice had betrayed the three major families. 

That was not the shocking part. 

Jesse somehow managed to call in some favors to get Maurice off the hook. 

The three top families had tried bailing Maurice out but they did not even know the right person to talk to. 

It appeared Jesse was resourceful. 

Still, Edward uttered furiously, “Even if Maurice betrayed us, we own a majority share of Bersina. How could he possibly acquire the group for one dollar?” 

Ethan was hesitant to talk. 

“Speak!” Edward yelled. 

“Dad, they pinned me onto the table and threatened to cut off my arm if I didn’t agree to sell Bersina. They coerced me into persuading the representatives of Everias’ shareholders to sign the papers.” 

Gritting his teeth, Ethan told the truth.
