Chapter 278 Ambitious
“I don’t blame Dex. He had his reasons for putting you and Wyatt through this, the elderly man sitting across stated, “and it’s not a bad thing for him to test and challenge both of you. But… don’t you feel exhausted?”
She could sense a keen perception and an understanding that surpassed words in those eyes.
“You shouldn’t have gotten involved in this affair,” Yanis added.
Josie understood his implication. She leaned forward slightly and asked, “Uncle, what do you have in mind?”
“Form a strong alliance,” he uttered.
Eventually, Josie left the tea house with a smile.
Moses leaned against the wall, smoking, exchanging glances with Yanis’ associates. When he saw Josie emerge, he immediately followed her.
As Josie walked, Yanis’ final words echoed in her mind, “You’re always welcome to come back and delve into the secrets of tea leaves with me.”
“That day may never come.”
The pace of development in the 21st century went beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.
In under an hour, Josie received a call from Dexter. He was probably still up, buried in paperwork, or just finishing a conference call.
“I’ve heard about Yanis’ deeds in different places, and it’s surprising how he manages to gather supporters despite not being the sharpest tool in the shed,” Josie remarked about Yanis.
Dexter chuckled and said, “It’s all just a facade he puts on. He can’t turn back time, can he?”
Dexter filled Josie in on more of Yanis’ story during their journey to Russell Mansion.
Back in those days, the Russell family had two sons. Dexter’s father was the eldest, and Yanis followed in line.
That was where the perpetual battle began. Yanis and Grant were the only ones constantly at odds. After Grant’s passing, Dexter took on his father’s role and carried on the rivalry against Yanis. They’ve had numerous secretive conflicts, competing for control over the central power. Yanis never ceased his efforts, always striving for greater influence.
He was an incredibly ambitious figure.
