The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Acquiring Lockwood Group for His Wife

The caller was his younger brother, Laura Jennings’s other son. The two weren’t particularly close, but they weren’t distant either. He was currently in charge of acquiring shares in the Lockwood Group.

’Is he calling me because the Lockwood Group acquisition isn’t going smoothly?’

Nathaniel Sloan answered and heard Liam Sloan say, "Bro, I have a friend who’s also interested in the Lockwood Group. Do you have time to come over?"

Nathaniel Sloan frowned at his words.

’Someone else is interested in the Lockwood Group? How could anyone be interested in a company like that? What terrible judgment.’

...

On the other side, Liam Sloan hung up and said to Estelle Lockwood, "My apologies, Miss Lockwood. My brother has had his eye on the Lockwood Group for a while now. When he gets here, you two can discuss it."

Estelle Lockwood was curious. ’Who else would want to acquire shares in the Lockwood Group?’

The Lockwood Group had been on a steady decline for years and was on the verge of collapse. She was only acquiring it to make things difficult for the Lockwoods.

And yet, someone else had already made a move to acquire it first.

It wasn’t that she was looking down on anyone, but she couldn’t believe someone was actually interested in a shell company like the Lockwood Group.

’That person must either be out of their mind or have terrible taste.’

...

Nathaniel Sloan hung up the phone. Zane Grant asked, "You’re going to acquire the Lockwood Group?"

"Yeah."

"Why? The Lockwood Group isn’t worth it."

Nathaniel Sloan paused as he was getting into the car and said flatly, "The Lockwood Group originally belonged to Estelle Lockwood."

Because the Lockwood Group had originally belonged to Estelle Lockwood, he was going to acquire it.

Zane Grant was speechless. ’I guess that’s a valid reason... His wife’s property ending up in Noelle Lockwood’s hands is indeed intolerable. Even if he acquires it just to let it collect dust, he can’t let anyone else have it.’

’But what is that woman on the other end of the line who wants to acquire the Lockwood Group thinking?’

"By the way, that paternity test... are you just going to let it go?" Zane Grant asked, his chest tightening as he recalled the Sloans’ attitude earlier.

’A grandmother doubting her own grandson and insulting her deceased daughter-in-law... what kind of mess is this?’

Nathaniel Sloan’s expression was calm, but his eyes were bone-chillingly cold. "Of course we’re not just going to let it go."

Zane Grant opened his mouth, wanting to ask Nathaniel Sloan what he planned to do next.

But on second thought, ’Nathaniel cares most about Christian. Now that Christian’s identity has been questioned... Laura Jennings, the biological mother he already shares little affection with, probably won’t get off easy.’

Ignoring the mess back at the villa, Nathaniel Sloan drove to his destination.

...

「Azure River Law Firm.」

Estelle Lockwood had returned to the country specifically to get revenge on the Lockwood Group, and acquiring its shares had long been part of her plan.

She hadn’t expected to get stuck on the final step.

The young man in front of her was named Liam Sloan. He looked unreliable on the surface, but he was actually a lawyer.

When Estelle Lockwood was still abroad, she had crossed paths with him over an infringement case and had helped him out. She never thought she would run into him here after returning to the country.

Liam Sloan still owed Estelle Lockwood a favor and felt quite embarrassed. "Yara, don’t worry. When my brother gets here, I’ll do my best to mediate. I won’t let you get the short end of the stick!"

The corner of Estelle Lockwood’s mouth twitched. "If I may be so bold... why does your brother want to acquire the Lockwood Group?"

Liam Sloan also knew that while the Lockwood Group looked impressive on the outside, it was rotten to the core. Taking it over would just be inheriting a complete mess.
