His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1458

Chapter 1458 (Title is a Spoiler)

Ever since Long Hui's very public conflict with Iris Long started, he began acting very unstable. His work performance suffered. He could feel himself spiralling downwards.

It was such a huge contrast to his previous performance as the undisputed crown prince of Long Industries and the Long clan.

He couldn't help but reminisce about the good old days when he felt he was on top of the world. He could do whatever he wanted with minimal consequences.

Now, however, it felt like he was walking on eggshells. No matter what he did, there was always something that would go wrong.

Although he still had a lot of supporters and allies, there were already many who jumped ships. He also suspected that there were double agents in his camp, waiting to betray him when he least expected it.

He had to be cautious of everyone and everything. It was an exhausting life.

His youngest half-sister, Iris Long, was his biggest opponent. That was the undisputed truth.

Before, nobody took her seriously. But now, she was beloved by many. It was like their situations were reversed.

He was now the one whose reputation was tainted.

On the other hand, Iris was famous and charismatic, and most importantly, she had the biggest backer in the country—CEO Jin Liwei.

As for his next biggest competitor, Long Jiang still had a long way to go. But his younger half-brother's consistently excellent work performance was gradually winning support not only from the higher-ups but also from the regular workers. Their father, Long Tengfei, was also gradually giving Long Jiang more authority. Long Jian was becoming known as a reliable and disciplined leader, neither too strict nor too lax. The regular employees respected him.

His other half-sister, Long Jinjing, was out of the game, so Long Hui wasn't too worried about her. She had no interest in vying to be the next head of Long Industries. However, Long Hui already learned his lesson with Iris Long. What if Long Jinjing was also secretly cunning and joined the battle for succession all of a sudden?

He promised himself to be extra careful when it came to his half-siblings. They couldn't be trusted at all. They were the biggest thorns in his eyes and the most difficult obstacles to his greatest ambition in life.

And it wasn't only those three half-siblings who were a danger to him.

There were also other contenders from various branch families, and even outside the clan such as executive-level officers and shareholders, who were vying to be the next head of Long Industries.

Long Hui felt like he couldn't breathe.

The stress of everything piled up on top of each other and was becoming too much, but he couldn't give up on his ambition.

Giving up meant that what he believed to be his life purpose had become meaningless. He couldn't accept such a conclusion. If he could still fight, he would continue to fight until the end.

He was still in a daze when he vaguely noticed his father and half-siblings rushing out of the elevators.

Iris' bodyguards quickly escorted the trio out of the company building. They all wore grave expressions.

Long Hui gloated a little. He didn't know what happened but they must have experienced something tragic. Their misfortune gave him pleasure.

Then he heard some of the bystanders gossiping.
