“They are going to go all the way to the
end with Jasper without caring about the
consequences. All of the families have
shaken their own foundations while
risking huge losses just to lift Jasper up. I
think those old farts have all gone crazy!”
Sawyer cursed in a low voice full of
resentment.
Kennedy glanced at Sawyer and the
corners of his mouth rose into a slight
curve that was not easy to detect.
He knew why Sawyer was so angry,
It was because Sawyer lost his seat on the
committee during the Harbor City
Business Federation election.
The organization was established decades
ago and dated back to when Harbor City
was still under the jurisdiction of the
United Kingdom.
At that time, Harbor City copied the
United Kingdom’s model. In order to
facilitate the management of the
increasingly prosperous Harbor City
business community, the United Kingdom
established this organization under the
Harbor City government.
This organization had been serving as a
committee member of Harbor City’s top
family since its establishment. It could
even be regarded as a recognition of top
families by the Harbor City government.
Only by becoming a member of this
committee could one be qualified to call
themselves rich and powerful.
However, in this election, Sawyer lost the
committee seat that the Atticus family
had maintained for the last 50 years.
Although this was only a nominal
honorary seat, the more deeply rooted the
rich and famous were, the more they
needed this.
After all, Harbor City was not as good as
the mainland where there was vast land
condition plummeted in an instant when
the W. Langdons were isolated. He was
still lying in the hospital and had not
come out until now.
Although the doctor said that there were n
o life-threatening conditions for the time
being, everyone could feel that the old
man’s life was slowly depleting, and it
was only a matter of time until he passed.
Moreover, this kind of thing had to be
kept secret in the family, but there was no
airtight wall in the world. No matter how
secret it was, it was still a fact that the old
master had not shown his face for a long
time, and it would eventually be noticed by
y someone with ulterior motives like the
Atticus family.
“You’re right. The old master is getting
older, so it’s better not to disturb him with these annoying things,” Sawyer said with a smile.
“By the way, I know a medical team and they are the world’s top experts for treating heart failure. Would you like to introduce them to you?”
As soon as he said this, Kennedy’s expression tightened, and then he turned his head to look at Sawyer coldly.
