Everyone was stunned at his words.
Ian spoke in a low voice, "He's setting you up in advance. No matter whether our act today is real or fake, he's got something on you now. From this point forward, you have to listen to him. So, for Katherine and Bruce's safety, we have to keep this act going. You and I must become sworn enemies over the battle for the Hayes family estate. Only then will Connor believe you and not lay a hand on Katherine and Bruce."
Brodie clenched his fists tightly. The hatred in his eyes couldn't be concealed anymore. "My grandfather spent a fortune to save Connor and never treated him as an outsider. He even handed over the massive Marecle Operation business to Connor for management. To think that after raising him all these years, he turned out to be an ingrate!"
The thought of Connor ruining Katherine's life and now controlling her again filled Brodie with extreme hatred. He thought that by uncovering the truth, he could clear his mother's name, but it turned out that the person he was looking for was right beside him.
Teo heavily patted Brodie’s shoulder. His eyes were bloodshot. "Don't worry, I will make sure nothing happens to Katherine. Connor will definitely get his comeuppance."
The group then planned their next moves. Then, they went their separate ways.
The news of Ian and Brodie fighting over the CEO position quickly spread across the entire network. Connor, seeing the news on his phone, smiled sinisterly.
He dialed Brodie's number, and the call was quickly answered. "Uncle Connor, how's grandfather doing?"
Connor's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Not too good. He was bitten by a dog while out for a walk. The dog had a virus, and now the hospital is trying to figure it out. He's been unconscious."
