Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Preston lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at Jared. He said, his tone cold and distant. “Vice President Blake, what’s the matter?” After inheriting the shares given to him by his grandmother, Preston became the president as a major shareholder. Regardless of whether Jared and those executives admitted it or not, from the moment he entered the company, Preston had regarded Jared as the vice president. Preston was a major shareholder, the president, while Jared could only be the vice president. “Vice President Blake? Preston, just to be clear. I’m not dead. Even though you inherited your grandmother’s shares, I’m still the president. Do you want to destroy Blake Corporation? Huh? Writing proposals? How do you think Blake Corporation developed? By doing these unpractical things?” Jared looked quite heartbroken. “Do you know how much effort I put into making Blake Corporation look like today?” Preston interrupted, “Name your price!” “What?” Jared asked, a little confused. Preston said in a flat tone, “Aren’t you worried that I won’t be able to manage Blake Corporation well? Just name a price and sell all 22% of your Blake Corporation shares to me.” “You!” Jared was pissed off. Preston’s expression was calm as he said blandly, “Currently, the market value of Blake Corporation is worth 55.8 billion dollars. Lina. Do a math. How much is 22% of the shares worth?” Lianne immediately clicked open the calculator on her phone and quickly worked it out. “12.289 billion dollars.” Preston looked at Jared coldly and asked, “Are you selling it?” “Preston, dream on!” Jared gritted his teeth in hatred. More than 12 billion. If it weren’t for Katherine supporting Preston, Preston wouldn’t have such confidence at all. He couldn’t even fork out 200 million dollars. Preston’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, “Didn’t you think that I would lose Blake Corporation? Then quickly sell the shares in your hands. If you sell them too late, the market value will be wiped off.” Preston opened the stock trading software and said calmly, “Look, in just a few minutes, the market value has been reduced by more than 60 million dollars.” “You!” Jared gritted his teeth. “So, are you trying to ruin Blake Corporation? Huh?” “You don’t have to worry about it. After all, you’re only a small shareholder.” “If I’d known you were such a bustard, I would have strangled you when you were born.” “So that you can make room for your illegitimate son?” Preston mocked. “You ungrateful son!” Jared was so furious that he reached out and tried to slap Preston. Preston reached out and held Jared’s hand and said in an icy tone, “You have no right to slap me.” Jared pushed and Preston’s body hit the door of the conference room. “Julian!” Lianne was so frightened that she immediately supported Preston. Preston’s head hit the wall beside the door. A fit of dizziness overcame him and he shook his head violently. “Julian, how are you?” Lianne asked, terrified. When Jared saw that Preston seemed to be dizzy, a cunning look flashed across his eyes. He assumed that Preston had not recovered yet. If he banged his head again, he might become stupid. Only if Preston was stupid or dead would the old woman be willing to give everything to him. As he thought about it, Jared immediately dashed over and reached out to hug Preston’s head, wanting to bang it against the wall. “You ingrate, you ungrateful thing. I raised you. I bought you whatever you want from birth to adulthood…” Lianne had realized Jared’s intentions. She rushed over and knocked Jared away with her body. Her heart was filled with anger and pain. Jared was their father. They were related by blood. How could a person be so vicious? Jared was knocked away by Lianne. He cursed, “You ingrate.” “Better than you!” Lianne cursed. He reached out and pulled Preston over. “Preston, let’s go back to the office.” She was very worried and stood behind Preston, preventing Jared from approaching again. Preston’s heart was bitterly cold. At the same time, he was angry that he did not have any skills and could not withstand Jared’s push. Many people in the meeting were also shocked by Jared’s actions. Two young executives originally planned to look for Preston, but when they saw that Preston was not a match for Jared in terms of physical strength just now, they changed their minds. Now that it was the time to take sides, choosing to make proposals as Preston demanded was equivalent to betraying Jared. If Preston lost in the future, they would be doomed. However, a few people who originally supported Jared turned to support Preston when they heard that Preston was going to spend tens of billions of dollars to buy the shares in Jared’s hands. The fact that Preston was able to spend tens of billions of dollars was enough to make him stand out among ordinary people. They had also vaguely heard that Preston had his grandmother’s support. Although his mother had passed away and something happened to his grandmother’s family twenty years ago, a broken billionaire was wealthier than an ordinary person. In the past, the Cook family was a family doing cruise business with a very strong economic foundation. Furthermore, Lianne was Jadeborough’s top socialite. Many men would be willing to help her. So a few people went to Preston, which showed solidarity with the latter. Preston received them in his office and promised them a salary increase. Preston knew that Jared had a deep foundation in the company. It would take a long time to turn the situation around. Among the 30-odd executives and small shareholders, there were now nine people supporting him. It was already better than expected. People submitted to profit. Preston believed that once he made his next move, the situation would be even more advantageous for him. Afraid that Jared would once again lose his mind and do crazy things, Lianne sat on the sofa in Preston’s office and sent Trevor a Whatsapp message, “Erm… Trevor, I need you to do me a favor” In the morning, Trevor called her and told her that he would be on call if they needed any help. Lianne thought that she and Preston could settle it, so she rejected it at that time. In this situation, however, Lianne thought it was necessary to ask Trevor for help. Trevor instantly replied, “What is it?” Lianne said, “In addition to running a detective agency, you also run a boxing club, right? Trevor replied, “Yes.” “Do you have someone available on your side? I want to hire a few bodyguards. Also, if possible, I hope they can teach me some self-defense skills,” said Lianne. Trevor asked, “What happened?” Lianne’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of her father’s nasty face. She replied, “Nothing. I’m just afraid that Preston will be hurt when he takes over Blake Corporation.” Jared lost his composure and hit Preston himself. Perhaps he would order his men to attack Preston next time. Trevor said, “I’m coming over now!” Lianne replied, “Thank you!” “Never mind!” said Trevor. After Preston was done with his work, he looked up at his sister on the sofa and asked, “Lina, what are you doing?” Lianne didn’t hide it and said honestly, “I asked Trevor to help pick a few bodyguards for us.” Preston gave a nod and said, “Well, I’m also preparing to arrange this.” Preston was confident that he could get Blake Corporation back, but if Jared played dirty and wanted to harm him, it was indeed impossible to guard against. He and his sister did need bodyguards.
