Willow was confused. "Why would Jyn make such a decision? This doesn't seem like something she would do. It's way too risky! A misstep and the entire Morrison Group could be done for!"
It was normal for a larger company to acquire a smaller one. But now, both corporations were of equal scale.
Morrison Group's actions were too risky.
Caspian shook his head and said, "Jyn wouldn't do such a thing. Perhaps something had happened to Morrison Group!"
He knew Jyn well enough to know that she wouldn't do something like this.
Although Jyn had always done her job with excellent execution and efficiency, she wouldn't make such an impulsive and thoughtless blunder.
Landon nodded his head and continued, "I agree with Mr. Lynch. I've also just received news that Jyn is no longer the CEO of Morrison Group. It's now her brother, Cory, at the helm instead.
"Ms. Morrison was removed from her position by Tristan himself for her recent performance. I've also heard that Cory had just killed a few of his own shareholders in a meeting …"
Landon began to wonder if Cory was insane as he realized how absurd his words sounded.
Cory seemed more like a murderous demon than a CEO.
Both Caspian and Willow were shocked by the news. They were shocked by how utterly stupid Cory was.
His actions had truly sent Morrison Group to certain death.
Willow turned to Caspian with a worried expression. "What should we do, hubby? I didn't expect this Cory guy to do this. What if he's willing to do anything to achieve his goal? What should we do then?"
Cory's actions were frightening because no one could have guessed he would do something like this.
Caspian stroked his chin and laughed. "I thought Morrison Group would've been a troublesome opponent. But now, it seems that the idiot Cory had already helped us out. He's going to burn himself for playing with fire."
He had been holding himself back when Morrison Group deliberately targeted Willow's company several times.
He held back simply because Jyn was a friend of his.
But now that Cory had become the CEO, he no longer had to restrict himself further.
"Hubby, do you have a plan?" Willow asked.
From her perspective, defeating Morrison Group was a highly impossible task.
Morrison Group had long established its presence within Dhord City's every corner.
Willow believed that defeating them was simply an unattainable reality.
However, she still chose to believe in Caspian as he had never gone back on his word, and everything he said had always come true.
Willow couldn't help but wonder if Caspian was really just a general officer as he claimed to be.
She wondered if a general officer could have been so powerful.
She decided not to pursue him for answers and simply wait for the day when Caspian would tell her the truth.
She also knew that it was standard procedure for military details to be kept a secret.
Caspian smiled and replied, "Relax, Willow. Just let Cory do as he likes. So long as we hold onto 51% of the shares, he will never be able to overtake us. Besides, I don't believe he could actually obtain half of our shares to begin with."
"Are you sure?" Willow asked with a concerned expression.
"Don't worry. I know Cory is trying to acquire us. But to be honest, we might be able to do the same and acquire them instead!"
Willow was shocked. "Huh? Acquiring them? Hubby, you have quite the bold idea, but we don't even have the funds to begin with."
Willow liked Caspian's idea, but it was unrealistic for Southlake Corporation to acquire Morrison Group.
"Don't worry about it, Willow. There will be a way!" Caspian reassured her.
Landon stepped up as well. "Mr. Lynch, I agree with Ms. Stewart that your idea is way too bold. Besides, unlike us, Morrison Group's shares are spread out sporadically in the hands of many shareholders. And any remaining shares available in the market are few and far between."
