Chapter 1687

Aiden and Caden smiled in unison.

Aiden began spinning his tale. “Mr. Stockton, since you’re not from Coastrock, you might not know about the true nature of Carl. He’s a good–for–nothing that has his eyes on the family fortune so that he can waste it all away. He’s someone who would let our empire crumble without batting an eye. I’m sure you understand why we can’t have him inheriting the throne.

“And this is where your ex–wife Sherry comes into the picture. We have to admit that she’s very good at her job and is an efficient leader, which is why Carl needs her help if he is going to inherit the corporation. What we want is for you to remarry her and take her back with you. It’s a win–win situation: you have your lover and we have our inheritance.”

As if they had rehearsed the entire monologue ahead of time, Caden immediately added, ” Mr. Stockton, the last thing we want is to have Carl bring our family to ruin.”

John took a breath and expressed, “I admire your loyalty toward your family’s business empire.”

Aiden was flattered by this and said, “You flatter us. We are just common family men. Nobody wants to see their family brought to ruin.”

“And how are you two going to help me?” John asked with an expectant smile.

Caden shot a look at Aiden.

Aiden announced on cue, “Sherry and Carl’s engagement ceremony is going to take place this Saturday, and we want you to attend the ceremony along with your daughter.”

John narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “So, the plan is to crash the engagement ceremony?” Aiden hurriedly explained, “We’re not going to have you do anything rash to sabotage the ceremony. All you need to do is to attend the ceremony and people will find out that she was married and had a child this entire time. Surely that will have the wedding called off.”
