Chapter 1881 The Four Great Families

“Birthday party?” Francesca sat up straighter in surprise. “Is it Danrique’s birthday today?”

“Yes, it is.” Gordon nodded.

“That’s weird. Why are other people preparing his birthday celebration instead of his family?” Francesca asked in confusion. “What’s that about?”

“Well…” Gordon trailed off as he thought about it for a second. “You’re going to become part of the Lindberg family eventually, so I had better let you know about the four great families first.”

“Okay!”

Francesca was already intrigued. She really wanted to know why exactly the Lindberg family would have such immense control along with the other three great families. How could these four families be more influential than the royal family?

Gordon began telling her everything.

“There are four great families: The Harringtons, the Yarrows, the Atkinson, and, of course, the Lindbergs. A hundred years ago, the four families founded the Lindberg Corporation.

“This company really took off and eventually became highly renowned because of the cooperation between the four great families, as well as the skillful management by the Lindberg ancestors.

“However, after Old Lady Lindberg passed away, the Lindberg Corporation higher-ups stopped getting along. Once Mr. Lindberg took over at a young age, the four great families began to split apart.

“The Harrington, Yarrow, and Atkinson families refused to be led by the Lindbergs and constantly plotted how to get a bigger portion of the shares. They wanted to be on the same level as the Lindbergs, and at one point even that wasn’t enough. They wanted to overthrow the Lindbergs and take over the company.”

Gordon suddenly paused and said seriously, “They definitely have an ulterior motive for planning this banquet. Of course, they wouldn’t dare to do anything major, but they certainly didn’t have the best intentions. With this in mind, please stick closely to Mr. Lindberg and don’t lose sight of him.”

“Well, if this is the case, then why did he want me there?” Francesca asked, now uncomfortable with the prospect of her attending. “What if they’ll target me from now on?”

“Mr. Lindberg will protect you,” Gordon said with a chuckle. “Don’t worry. No matter how sinister they may seem, all they’re after is money. They wouldn’t dare get on Mr. Lindberg’s bad side, and they definitely won’t bother you.”

“Are you sure?” Francesca pursed her lips. “Danrique is too arrogant sometimes. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.”

“But-”

“It’s okay. I got it.”
