Chapter 351 Stabbing Friends in the Back

Only when the Joneses made a comeback could Natasha regain her former status.

And Rex had no ambition at all–his sole focus was crushing Matthew under his foot.

“Don’t worry. Once Mister accomplishes his grand plan, your position will be much higher than Matthew’s. He’ll have to give up his shares in Langford Group.” Raymond was very confident, leaning back on the couch and sipping his tea with an air of indifference.

“Raymond… what exactly is the mastermind’s grand plan?” Natasha asked curiously.

you

“Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t. In any case, just follow his orders. Youngsters like will all have limitless prospects in the future.” Raymond said calmly.

Natasha didn’t press further. Even if she asked, Raymond wouldn’t tell her.

She had already had Rex ask Raymond many times, both directly and indirectly. Raymond wasn’t usually tight–lipped, but when it came to the person behind everything and their plans, he managed to keep his mouth completely shut.

This showed that Raymond didn’t just respect the person behind this–he feared them.

Clearly, Raymond’s weak spot was in that person’s hands.

At Ainsworth Group, Curtis was busy with work when Ronan quickly walked in.

“Mr. Lincoln, Raymond suddenly backed off. He’s no longer making things difficult for Ainsworth Group.” Ronan was curious. Even if they knew the person backing them was Gary, they shouldn’t have backed off so quickly. “I wonder what Raymond is really up to.”

Curtis also paused and looked up at Ronan.

They suddenly backed off?

“Since they’ve backed off, it’s time for us to counterattack.” After a moment of silence, Curtis spoke again. “Whatever moves Raymond makes, we’ll interfere.”

Curtis wanted to see why Raymond had suddenly stopped targeting Ainsworth Group.

Was it because of Gary, or had they come up with a different plan?

Ronan nodded. “Mr. Lincoln, there’s one more thing. The capital operations behind. Raymond’s new company are connected to the Gills.”

In other words, the Gills had invested in Raymond’s company.

Curtis said nothing.

If the mastermind really was someone from the Gills, and they were suddenly investing in Raymond so openly… were they planning to stop pretending anymore?

In Pastalia, Matthew and Marcus had brazenly moved into Adriana’s place.

Matthew and Marcus had a pretty good relationship. They were college classmates and even roommates back in school.

“Are you finding your accommodations suitable?” Adriana had always maintained a distant attitude toward Marcus. After all, she still couldn’t figure out what the Gills‘ situation really was.

But after spending this time together, Adriana felt that Maya was a very genuine girl without

malicious intentions.

“Very comfortable. Sorry for the trouble.” Marcus was also very polite and smiled at Adriana.

Matthew glanced at Adriana and quickly spoke up, “I’m doing pretty well here too.”

Adriana ignored Matthew. Did I ask you?

Ridiculous…

If she didn’t need Matthew as a shield to confuse the people behind everything and buy Curtis time before he was exposed, she couldn’t be bothered with Matthew.

“Haha… I see Denton and Maya seem to get along pretty well. They’re the right age too.” Seeing Matthew’s awkwardness, Marcus quickly changed the subject.

Adriana looked at Denton and Maya trimming the flowers and plants in the garden.

Indeed, the two got along well.

With Marcus coming to Pastalia this time, Adriana also sensed the Gills‘ intentions. They clearly hoped Maya and Denton could form a marriage alliance.

But Adriana didn’t want Denton and Maya to marry for business purposes.

Making two kids sacrificial pawns in an arranged marriage was obviously unfair to both of them.

But sometimes, for a wealthy heiress like Maya, there was no such thing as fairness.

“Maya is a good girl, but… I actually think they’re just friends.” Adriana smiled faintly, though her rejection was already very clear.

Marcus was smart enough to obviously catch what Adriana was implying, but he still played dumb. “If the two kids really are willing to be together, I hope Adriana will look after Maya more. After all, you’d be like family to her.”

Adriana looked at Marcus meaningfully. Since he was being so direct, Adriana didn’t plan to beat around the bush either.

She had invested all her money in Ainsworth Group with only one condition for Ronan–that he had to notify her of any major or minor matters at Ainsworth Group that would have been reported to Curtis.

A few days ago, Ronan had informed Adriana that the Gills had invested in Raymond’s new company to target Ainsworth Group.

“I heard the Gills recently invested in Raymond’s company. Since Mr. Gill is good friends with Matthew, I wonder why Gill Capital would still invest in Raymond.” Adriana’s eyes darkened.

Marcus froze and looked at Matthew.

Indeed, although Raymond was Matthew’s father, anyone who knew the real story knew that Matthew and Raymond didn’t have a loving father–son relationship. You could even describe them as enemies.

Supporting Raymond was stabbing Matthew in the back.
