Chapter 397 Watch the Drama

The Douglas family.

It was Howard's birthday, and he invited many big names from the business world and celebrities from the entertainment industry to celebrate with him.

After all, the Douglas Group had dominated the San Francisco business circle for many years.

In recent years, under Ethan's leadership, the Douglas Group had maintained its leading position. Unfortunately, this group was no longer what it used to be.

In the business world, things changed in an instant.

Many companies went bankrupt overnight, and Howard hadn't learned his lesson.

Now, people in the business circle were saying Howard was ruthless, having dealt with his eldest son, who posed a threat to him, and instead, putting his less capable younger son in a high position.

This younger son was nothing like Ethan; he was indecisive, lacked ability, and cared too much about his face.

Now, the Douglas Group was in an awkward position, with many competitors eyeing it. The Raymond Group, flourishing unexpectedly, outpaced the Douglas Group. Over half of Douglas's partners opted to sever ties and align with Raymond. Howard wanted to use his birthday as an excuse to make amends with Ethan, hoping to bring Ethan back to help the Douglas Group through its difficulties.

Because Howard knew that the Raymond Group was not easy to deal with.

"Howard... Ethan hasn't had any contact with us since he left the Douglas family. Inviting him over for a birthday will only encourage bad behavior," Claire said from the side,

"If your son were competent, I wouldn't need to speak kindly to him," Howard said angrily.

If Daniel were more capable, he wouldn't need to focus his attention back on Ethan. "Ethan dominated the company for so many years, and he has the advantage of accumulated connections. I don't think Daniel is worse than him; he was just suppressed too harshly in the past few years. Give Daniel a few years, and he will definitely do better than Ethan," Claire said, still unconvinced.

"The Douglas Group doesn't have time for him to grow. The Raymond Group is already about to crush the Douglas'. If this continues, the Douglas family's situation will be very dangerous," Howard said, a man who valued his reputation. Having once stood at the top, he wanted to stay there.

Being overshadowed by a mysterious new company was something he couldn't accept. "But..." Claire said, unwilling to give in.

"No buts," Howard frowned. "Don't make it too obvious. When he comes back, you go and say nice things."

Howard wanted Claire to play the good cop.

Claire reluctantly agreed.

Most of the Douglas family's shares were still in Howard's hands. As long as Ethan was alive, Howard would always think of him.
