Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 557 Fiona Has Decided to Go Abroad

Ethan was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Yes."

When he and Jasmine agreed to get married back then, it wasn't because of love. He just wanted to get married to activate his grandfather's will.

At that time, William Douglas' will was notarized. Once Ethan got married and started a family, all his shares would belong to him.

The shares Ethan currently held were not that much, but he had secretly acquired them when the Douglas Group's stock market had issues. By using the will to reclaim his grandfather's shares, the only ones left would be those in Howard's hands.

Howard currently held all the shares that rightfully belonged to Ethan's mother. Howard exploited the sudden death of Ethan's mother and his position as her primary heir to grab hold of them.

Getting those shares back from Howard would take some effort. Fortunately, Howard was extremely cautious and hadn't transferred any shares to Daniel and his son yet. In essence, Howard still feared Claire.

He knew Claire wasn't to be underestimated she was ruthless, and having her access to the shares too early made her harder to control.

"Claire and Howard have imprisoned Annabelle," Brandon said, his tone flat. "The Douglas family has lost its mind, trying to get their hands on that document from the Harper family."

"Annabelle isn't a fool," Ethan said with a cold smile. "As long as Annabelle is around, the Douglas family won't find peace."

Even while searching for documents at the Harper family, Annabelle managed to send Ethan covert messages, saying that the Douglas family was pressuring her for more evidence against Howard. She promised to help him by creating discord between Claire and Howard if he assisted her.

Ethan paid no mind to Annabelle.

Even if he didn't have the document, he wouldn't take it from Annabelle. Whether she could walk away from Howard and Claire alive was entirely up to her own skill.

Howard and Claire were both ruthless, and together, they were capable of anything.

"I suspect Claire's loyalty is wavering," Brandon said with a smirk, "Ethan, you need to brace yourself. With chaos brewing in both the Douglas family and the Douglas Group, it's the perfect moment for you to reclaim your place. The board members will undoubtedly back you."

Ethan nodded, understanding the gravity. "You know what I'm worried about."

His concern wasn't about reclaiming the Douglas Group-after all, it rightfully belonged to him. His real fear was that before he could find Howard's most damning evidence, Howard might be driven to commit inhumane acts.
