Andrew told Anna that he still had some things to take care of in Sea Cityand he would leave for Birmingham later within a week.

So, Anna and Wayne left first.

“Someone else was in charge of Carousel Group five years ago, right?” Anna asked as they were in his car.

Wayne had his hands on the steering wheel and was looking intently ahead. He wasn’t distracted when he heard that and then said,

“Richard is a year younger than me. But, he had only finished his undergraduate degree when he worked for the group back then. He

even gave up the chance to pursue a master’s degree at Yale. So he was already the group’s vice president when I returned to England. To

be honest, Grandpa used to think highly of him.”

Anna was impressed with Richard. She had met him at the Wrights’ house before and remembered that he was a man in his thirties

and looking somewhat similar to Wayne.

He seemed gentle and friendly, and always had a smile on his face. However, no one could really get close to him.

“Maybe you made Richard feel threatened,” Anna speculated as she glanced over at Wayne.

Wayne nodded, then shifted his gaze to the side as if he didn’t care. He replied, “Yes. I am a shareholder in the Group and I was

involved in some of the board resolution meetings. Later, I felt unsure of the company’s financial situation. After my grandfather had it

checked out, he allowed me to take part in the company’s management. But I didn’t have quite the same power as Richard at the

time.”

So, whether Wayne controlled the company or not, as soon as he returned to England, he posed a serious threat to Richard. Peter

was in charge of the entire group at the time, and he had complete authority. Wayne was Peter’s only grandson, thus there was a good

chance that he would inherit the group later.
