The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 Plan in Acquisitioning Burton Group

“Chris?” Jolly called out several times before Rachel came back to her senses. “Huh? What is it?” “I’ve been talking to you for a long time. What were you thinking?”

“Nothing. I didn’t sleep well last night. What were you saying again?” “I was talking about the acquisition of Burton Group.” Jolly took a sip of her coffee. Then, she pondered and spoke, “We’re almost ready with our preparations. As long as Robin remains as the president after Burton Group’s board of directors meeting, then there will be great hope for us in succeeding.”

Honestly, Carter Enterprise’s goal earlier was to acquire Hudson Pharmaceuticals. However, before she returned to the country, Rachel proposed a juicer target for the Carter Enterprise—to acquire Burton Group. Thus, both Rachel and Jolly had been advancing toward this goal.

Be it Rachel returning to the country and working for Burton Group, sorting through the relationship between Burton Group’s internal shareholders and senior management, or later leaving Burton Group and taking away numerous valuable connections and directing Burton Group’s focus on Hudson Pharmaceuticals. In reality, it was all a diversion planned by the two.

Currently, the entire Burton Group administration was engaged in an internal struggle. Robin and Justin were fighting against each other. Even the board of directors was on the brink of falling apart.

As the heiress of Carter Enterprise, how would Jolly simply come over to Hudson Pharmaceuticals and become Rachel’s assistant? It was merely a ploy to muzzle the public.

Jolly said, “After Robin took over Burton Group, he made several idiotic decisions. These decisions aroused dissatisfaction among the board of directors for a long time. Some small shareholders had even planned to withdraw their investments in Burton Group and sell the decentralized stocks privately.”

Rachel frowned slightly as she heard the analysis. “But with Old Mr. Burton’s death, part of the equity will eventually fall into Justin’s hands once the inheritance is distributed. So even if he’s no longer the president of Burton Group, he still has a vote as a major shareholder of Burton Group.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as Robin makes the situation in Burton Group even worse than it is now, Justin would not be able to save it, and he would have no choice but to sell the Burton Group.”

“But will the Burton Group’s board of directors still trust Robin?”

“Well, this isn’t hard. According to my Mom, we should give Robin a little benefit.”

Marilyn had been in the business industry for so many years. So, with decades of experience on her back, she could immediately grasp a particular company’s weaknesses once she understood the problem.

For someone as vile as Robin, he would do anything for profit. He did not have the kind of feelings that Justin had for Burton Group. As long as Carter Enterprise offered an olive branch, he would go all out and grab it to save himself.

Rachel nodded as she heard the suggestion. “Then, we’ll do as Mrs. Carter instructed. We should request Robin to a meet-up tomorrow afternoon.”

The corners of Jolly’s lips curled up in a smirk. “Looks like Burton Group will undergo drastic changes yet again.”

…

In Burton Residence, Frankie brought the food and drinks he had bought from the supermarket and delivered them. As soon as he entered, he saw wine bottles next to the sofa.

Clang! Frankie had accidentally kicked a wine bottle beside his feet and made the bottle roll all the way to the sofa.

Suddenly, a hand dangled from the sofa. The hand searched around the ground for a long time until it found a bottle of wine which was half full.

“President Burton.” Frankie hurried over and snatched the bottle of wine from Justin. “Stop drinking!”

“Give it to me!”

The man on the sofa was unshaven and had a hoarse voice. No one knew how long he had not slept. His eyes were bloodshot, and the blood vessels were spread out like spider webs in his eyes.

Frankie looked around, putting the wine bottle on the coffee table next to Justin, and said, “President Burton, you can’t go on like this. Tomorrow’s the funeral, and many members of the Burton Family are still waiting for you to preside over said funeral.”

Justin let out a mocking laugh. “Members of the Burton Family? Who else is there in the Burton Family?”

Five years ago, Tina went insane and was sent abroad. My second uncle, Jason, is currently in prison. According to the amount of his smuggling, he’ll definitely be executed. And now, my only Grandpa, who truly loved me, had also left. So who else is there in the Burton Family? Those distant relatives eagerly eyeing the distribution of the inheritance and wanting a share of the pie? Can they be considered as members of the Burton Family?
