Ice and Fire novel Chapter 695

"I think my elder brother just wants to make everything perfect so that Joe can take over without any major issues," Mond said flatly.

"Why bother doing that? Joe is capable enough to handle everything all by himself. Even if he is given a 200 million project, he is expected to become a success with it," Derek commented.

"Yeah. You can never underestimate that little guy. He was already that smart when he was still a little boy, and now he has gotten much better. I read Joe's Sina Weibo the day before yesterday, and found that he had passed GMBA. If and when he takes over the JC Group, the company will surely have a brighter future," Mond spoke highly of Joe from the bottom of his heart.

"That would be nice if we also had a son as outstanding as Joe," Derek chimed in enviously. He thought, 'Jackson is such a lucky man. He has an outstanding son and a pretty daughter. Both of his children have always been well-behaved. Jackson and Cherry hardly needed to worry about them. What a happy family!'

"Alice is a brilliant girl too. She will soon finish her costume design course in France, won't she?" Mond asked.

"Well, I received a call from her the other day, and she said she would be back around the same time that Violet comes back from her honeymoon trip. She had already gotten her graduation certificate, and has been busy with a fashion show recently," Derek replied. He was not used to inquiring on the details of his daughter's affairs. On the contrary, Amy could not stand if she didn't talk with her daughter and learn about her life via phone for more than two days.

"That's good news. When our fashion designer comes back, we should have a welcome party for her," Mond said, wearing a warm smile. He had declined almost all the party invitations recently, but he was eager to have a party organized by one of the four major groups.

"That's not a bad idea. I will ask Alice first. If she agrees, I will start to make preparations for it," added Derek. He wanted to discuss it with her daughter first. After all, she's the only had daughter he had got, and always wanted her to be happy and do whatever she liked.

"Okay. Your daughter's opinion is of the greatest importance," Mond said helplessly, shrugging. "Alas! Violet got married without having a wedding party. I didn't even have the chance to celebrate with them."

"Don't be so upset. When Jackson comes back, let's ask him to hold a grand party with the Chus. He has got such a good son-in-law; how can he just be happy secretly? We can't let him off the hook that easily." Derek and Mond began to plan how to punish Jackson.

"Yes, yes. If he refuses, that will mean that he doesn't take us seriously," Mond chimed in. But Cherry's figure suddenly came into mind and he became a little nervous at once. "But Derek, what about Cherry? Can we win her support?"

"Well…" Derek hesitated too. Cherry played such an important role within the four families. She could be described as the big boss of the four families. No matter what she said or did, Jackson would definitely not go against her. None among Mond, Derek or Wilson had the guts to say no to her either. No matter what it was, as long as Cherry said yes, it would be a piece of cake at once.

"Derek, Amy gets along well with Cherry. If she could help us, it won't be difficult for us to win Cherry over," Mond suggested, snickering.

"There should be no problem," Derek said in an uncertain manner. "If that doesn't work, we still have Selina. She is so quick-witted that I'm sure she can also persuade Cherry."

"Yes! Ask your wife and your sister to work together. They are sure to have Cherry on our side." Mond became a little more confident.
