Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 408

The Grant family did not know why Mr. Book would interfere in that matter. The First Elder frowned.

Although Mr. Book and the Grant family were competitors, they had always. stayed clear of each other’s business. There was no reason for Mr. Book to get involved in their business.

The First Elder could not make sense of it all. He wanted to contact the head of the family and ask what was going on.

Before he could get hold of the head of the family, the Grant family was dealt another blow.

First, Jonny called to inform them that several of their projects with Capitol Research Institute had been terminated. The experts sent by Capitol Research Institute had packed up and left.

The research institute would also not renew the patent licenses it previously granted to the Manson family.

The First Elder tried to stay calm and consoled Jonny, “Don’t get too anxious. Something must have happened at Capitol Research Institute. Jeremy mentioned. to me that there’s a deputy director in the research institute who doesn’t get along with him. There is a power struggle between them. I’m sure that person is behind this.

“I’ll give Jeremy a call later to check what’s happening at the research institute. I’ll also ask him if he has met with the dean.”

Jonny became excited when he heard the First Elder mention the dean. “Has the dean appeared? Is Jeremy confident of getting the dean to our side?”

The First Elder curled his lips and contemplated, “It’s highly likely. The Grant family is very powerful. If the dean is smart, he will definitely agree to work with.

1. us.

“That’s great.” Jonny was relieved to hear that.

The next family to call the First Elder was the Holmes family. “First Elder, for some reason, Capitol Research Institute has stopped all our cooperation.” The First Elder said unhurriedly, “Don’t worry. There’s some competition. between Jeremy and another deputy director of the research institute. Somehow, you are all implicated in this power struggle. It will be over soon. I heard that Jeremy managed to obtain the dean’s contact information. He should be able to meet with the dean soon.”

Larson was pacified when he heard that. “That’s good. I almost got a scare.” The First Elder then hung up the phone.
