Chapter 192

Joseph exited the chairman’s office and went back to his own.

“Mr. Sawle! How are you? Did the chairman give you any trouble?” Max had already prepared coffee for him and asked with a concerned look.

The man gracefully walked to the sofa and sat down. He then picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

“It wasn’t hard.”

Max sighed in relief, his heart now at ease.

“Can that be done?”

“I knew he wouldn’t bring you any fruit to snack on! He’s just a phony dad!” Max widened his eyes in surprise.

“Ah, sometimes I really wish that he isn’t my real dad. I really hope I’m not his biological son.”

Joseph was taken aback to realise that the coffee he had consumed had lost its fragrance and tasted as bitter as medicine. “Regrettably, half of the coffee inside me is now his blood.”

“Alas!” Max sighed despondently, not knowing what to utter.

“Jake has already transferred the responsibility of Ada’s wedding to Skyler.”

“What?! Fuck?!”

Max was taken aback and livid. “Not only did you come up with the plan to win over Ada, but you also spearheaded the team to hold meetings and strategize the wedding plan day and night, putting in the extra effort. Even if you don’t want to, you still have to work hard, right?”

“Now that something like this has occurred, no one desires it. Why does he not recall your benevolence and just assign your task to someone else?! This must be something that the old crone Aubree betrayed!”

“Not only that,” Joseph said coldly, narrowing his starry eyes, “if this matter with Skyler is resolved, the management rights of the Sawle Group Hotel will be transferred to Skyler in the future.”

Max sucked in a cold breath and pinched himself crazily.

Jake, the old brat, usually presides over the group, but lacks true wisdom; however, he is adept at playing with his own son!

“Then, why didn’t you fight for it? Aren’t you going to do anything as Skyler takes away your project?!”

“Is it necessary? Jake and his daughter are just pretending. From the start, what Jake wanted to do was to divide my rights.”

“It turns out there is a rationale for Skyler to let her teach,” Joseph’s expression remained unchanged.

Had he been so enraged by such an event, he might not have survived until now. He would have perished away like nothing.

“Are we just going to sit here and accept our fate?” Max gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination.

Joseph lowered his eyes, not uttering a word, as he took a sip of his coffee.
