For example, at last night\u2019s social engagement, Ronan only paused slightly while speaking, and Kenneth took it upon himself to read between the lines. Right there at the dinner, he arranged a small\u2013time actress to keep Ronan company \u2026 nearly getting him into serious trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then later that night, when he got home, he just sneezed once. Kenneth, acting on his own, shut off the central air and even flipped the main breaker! Ronan woke up half the night later, sweating. But since he was unable to find the breaker switch, he basically steamed in a high\u2013temperature sauna all night\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave Kenneth take you out to relax tonight,\u201d Curtis said meaningfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ronan immediately snapped upright, waving his hands. \u201cNo need\u2026 Kenneth works hard, too. Let him go relax on his own. I\u2019m not tired at all!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The corners of Curtis\u2019s mouth lifted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, Raymond from Langford Group called me earlier. He asked whether Ainsworth Group has been trying to get you to invest lately. I answered exactly the way you told me to. I said there is indeed a project seeking investment, and that you\u2019ve already agreed.\u201d Ronan remembered the call and reported it to Curtis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded. \u201cYeah, stick with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Langford Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After getting Ronan\u2019s confirmation, Raymond completely panicked. If Curtis invested his money in Ainsworth Group, he could really make a comeback.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ainsworth Group was genuinely powerful now. It wasn\u2019t something they could casually control\u00a0<\/p>\n
anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Curtis casually invested in a small company, they could still step in and make him lose everything. But Ainsworth Group\u2026 That was out of their hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMister \u2026 Ronan from Ainsworth Group contacted Curtis a long time ago. He\u2019s already pulled him into one of their investment projects.\u201d Raymond could only call the person behind the\u00a0<\/p>\n
scenes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you to scam all the money out of Curtis\u2019s hands, and instead you let him invest with a rival. Idiot.\u201d The mysterious person on the other end was clearly angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond didn\u2019t dare say a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo whatever it takes. Curtis must not invest in Ainsworth Group!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, the other party hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond wiped the sweat off his forehead. It looked like he had no choice but to meet Matthew\u2019s conditions for now and hand over Matthew\u2019s share first. Later, he figured he could still find a way to control him through Elise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew, come in for a moment,\u201d Raymond called.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew walked into the office and looked at Raymond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree to give you the shares, but you have to bring Curtis\u2019s investment over first,\u201d Raymond said, still playing the old fox.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry. Curtis isn\u2019t stupid. Without seeing the equity transfer, he won\u2019t be tempted easily. Besides \u2026 I just got a call saying Curtis is already preparing to invest in Ainsworth Group. Your agreement to give me the shares is too late. Even if you give me my shares now, I can\u2019t make it happen anymore. Unless\u2026\u201d Matthew began pushing his luck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless what?\u201d Raymond slammed the desk, anxious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew studied Raymond carefully. Just how terrifying is the person behind him, to scare him to this extent?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless you also hand over the shares you\u2019re holding to me in advance,\u201d Matthew said calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t bother hiding it anymore. This move was a gamble. If he won, he\u2019d completely take control of Langford Group. If he lost, he might be kicked out of it entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All these years, he\u2019d been cautious and patient, but all he got in return was Raymond and those illegitimate children pushing further and further. He had no choice but to take a risky step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew!\u201d Raymond stared at him in disbelief. This was outright extortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re my father. I\u2019m the only son you had with my mom. If you don\u2019t give your shares to me, are you planning to split them among those illegitimate kids? I\u2019ve been in Langford Group for so many years. Without me, there wouldn\u2019t be a Langford Group today. You sure you want to hand shares to a few deadweights and put the company at risk?\u201d Matthew said in a deep voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond snorted. \u201cYou really are ambitious. You want all the shares in\u00a0<\/p>\n
my\u00a0<\/p>\n
hands!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew raised an eyebrow. \u201cWhether you give them or not is up to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I give you the shares, and you still don\u2019t bring in Curtis\u2019s investment?\u201d Raymond narrowed his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew pulled out his phone and casually called Curtis, letting Raymond hear everything. \u201cHey, Curtis. It\u2019s me, Matthew.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s up? Asking me out for drinks tonight?\u201d Curtis joked on the other end, sounding like they were on great terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both of them were fully committed to the act. In reality, every time they met, they wanted to strangle each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I take control of Langford Group, you\u2019ll still invest in that new energy project we talked about before, right?\u201d Matthew asked with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry. That\u2019s a project we already agreed on before. I\u2019ll definitely invest. Putting money into it won\u2019t be a problem. But I don\u2019t trust your dad or those illegitimate kids of his. As long as that illegitimate son stays in Langford Group, I won\u2019t feel safe investing. The one in control of Langford Group has to be you,\u201d Curtis said seriously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On this side, Raymond was practically grinding his teeth to dust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But as long as he let Matthew take control, Curtis would definitely invest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
