The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 100

Nolan smiled at Walter upon hearing this. "But it comes with its fair share of trouble, won't it?"

Walter's expression fell. Nolan was right. It would bring an overwhelming amount of trouble.

Norwich Group was currently embroiled in internal power struggles, and the Norwich family was anything but calm. These issues may be manageable for now, but no one would accept it if Nolan, as an outsider, were to take hold of the highest authority.

He would become the enemy of everyone with a stake in the group, and they would never let him off easily.

It didn't matter if Henry had personally appointed Nolan. Even if he reappeared to announce the decision and stand by Nolan's side, it would unlikely be enough to quell the storm.

After all, this involved a multi-billion-dollar commercial empire and the vast Norwich family.

Walter knew he wasn't the only one who would seek out Nolan. Others were also on their way. However, Walter had taken certain measures to ensure they would not discover Nolan's whereabouts for the time being.

"Mr. Greene, it looks like you're well aware of what you're up against. But even so, you won't back down, is that right? After all, this is Norwich Group and the entire Norwich family's power at stake."

Nolan shook his head with a smile. "Mr. Kaufman, you're underestimating me. I recognize that Norwich Group is wealthy, and the Norwich family holds immense value, but those alone wouldn't interest me.

"Besides, I have to fight a lot of people for it, and I'm someone who despises trouble. All I want is a peaceful life.

"It's only because of Mr. Norwich Senior's request—no, his plea—that I reluctantly accepted. The main reason is that I owe him a great deal. Otherwise, I would have never agreed, no matter how much he pleaded."

Pleaded?

Walter was indignant at Nolan's choice of words.
