Lily was not even allocated a seat.
It was obvious how Adam and his family were treated by the Riverdale Hintons.
Adam furiously glared at Aaron, who was sitting at the head of the table.
If I had won the inheritance battle back then, I’ll be the one sitting at the head of the table.
However, Jeremy seemed proud of himself.
It was an honor to get allocated a seat in the Hinton family’s banquet room, so he was grateful for what he had.
Aaron glanced at Adam and asked coolly, “Adam, why isn’t your son, Daniel here with his family?”
Adam sighed, “Well, Daniel’s grown bolder now that you’re older. He’s rude and has nearly put me into prison. I can’t control him any longer.”
There were snickers from the crowd
He nearly got put into jail by his son. What a joke!
Aaron snorted, “Grown bolder? How bold can he be?”
Adam replied, “Daniel’s family had just founded the Linton Group. Have you heard of it?”
Aaron shook his head. “Linton Group? I’ve never heard of it. It must be a shell company. Well, Linton Group is nothing compared to the Riverdale Hintons.”
Adam inhaled deeply. “Linton Group isn’t as weak as you think it is. The group diversifies into areas including medicine, F&B, construction, and other businesses. They are developing rapidly these days.”
He was evidently sowing discord amongst his family.
Aaron’s interest was piqued.
Medicine, F&B, and construction.
The Hinton Group focused on these three industries, too. However, these three were the weaknesses of the group.
If he could merge Linton Group into his own Hinton Group, the Hinton family’s growth would accelerate rapidly in no time.
Adam knew what Aaron was thinking of. He hurriedly professed, “Bro, I have a favor to ask.”
Aaron replied him impatiently, “Go on.”
“I hope you can acquire Linton Group. They were able to develop rapidly because of the Riverdale Hintons’ reputation. I believe that they should return the favor.”
“Besides, Daniel’s getting too full of himself. This merger can teach him a lesson that however strong you are, there is always someone stronger. That will prevent him losing himself from playing with fire.”
Aaron was delighted as that was what he wanted.
Adam had just presented the perfect opportunity to him.
He responded, “Mhm since the Linton Group developed rapidly because of the Riverdale Hintons’ reputation, we have a stake in it.”
“Besides, Daniel has always been a loser. Linton Group will be ruined in his hands. Merging into the Riverdale Hintons will allow Linton Group to flourish.”
“Adam, don’t worry. After the merger, you’ll be allowed to return to the family.”
Adam was incredibly grateful. “Thank you, bro.”
The reason he came this time was to use Linton Group to gain entrance into the Hinton family.
His plan had worked.
No matter how great Linton Group was, they were a newly established company that lacked background.
The Riverdale Hintons had been standing tall for a few decades. The moment they take action, Linton Group would be acquired for sure.
Aaron asked his sons and grandchildren out of courtesy, “What do you think about this?”
His sons and grandchildren all agreed to the merger.
“I-I think this isn’t fair to Daniel and his family,” someone suddenly disagreed.
Everyone turned to look at the person who had just spoken up.
It was Aaron’s granddaughter, Nancy.
Aaron’s face fell at once. “Nancy, are you questioning my decision?”
