Chapter 380 The The Quintets’ Hacking
Edward uttered, “There’s not much we could do, then. Our people couldn’t find out anything, and Eugene isn’t dumb enough to let us convince him to do a DNA test.”
Lara requested, “Grandpa might know something, since he investigated this. Perhaps you could pick up some clues from him.”
Edward replied, “Yeah, I know what to do. Don’t you worry.”
He joined her in bed and held her in his arms. Lara let out a sigh. “Ben can’t do anything right. At first, he ruined his chances with the Smith Family, and now the Jones. I guess we’ll have to count on our Aleena now.”
Edward said, “Be patient. Aleena’s still young. Why don’t we talk about this in two years?”
Lara squinted her eyes. “It doesn’t matter that she’s young. I keep getting this feeling that Eugene is hiding something. He’s got this different air around him now. We all know how far his influence stems. With that negligible power of his, he doesn’t stand a chance against us. Could he be getting support from somewhere else? Why am I feeling that we are losing more and more of our grip over him now?”
Edward explained, “The company has been growing rapidly for the past two years. He does seem to be getting out of our control. Or you could be right—he might be busy getting chummy with Brian to join forces with him.”
Lara blurted, “Your sons are coming back to bite you, the one that fed them. This was all because you decided to let Eugene stay back then. And here we are. Not only did we fail to hold any shares in the company, he also took the throne from us, with Grandpa backing him. If we find our heads on his chopping board one day, do you think he would show us any mercy?”
Edward took a deep breath and admitted, “Yes, it’s all my fault for causing this mess.”
Lara leaned in on him. “I shouldn’t blame you. Had I come into your life earlier, all these wouldn’t have happened. I actually have nothing against your son, but it’d be fair to at least be on equal standing with him. This is what I call ‘insurance’. I just don’t want to be defenceless when they trample over us.”
The next day.
Eugene called Brian the first thing in the morning to check on him.
Brian sounded exhausted; he merely replied, “I’m fine.”
