Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2719 - 1940: Remarkable Gains (Part 2)
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
The people present had no objections to this, and some even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The vice chairmen had received the news in advance, and naturally, everyone present had their own channels to get the news.
The current investigation results point to two or three regional heads.
This makes some people feel restless, even uneasy.
Continuing the investigation, although they feel at ease regarding this matter, there is no guarantee that other issues won’t surface. At the very least, facing numerous inquiries is troublesome.
It’s better to stop it.
Since the investigation concluded, the "restriction" to stay in the group headquarters was also lifted.
The media outside had long been dealt with by the group’s PR department, quietly dispersing.
Caroline returned home in the evening. While the turmoil in the group was intense, it was confined to the group internally, and her family knew nothing of it.
It was not unusual for Caroline to be away for days, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
After returning, the first thing Caroline did was to have someone find Robert.
"Caroline, sister, you’re back. Is everything fine with your Zhenbei Group? I heard Bernice was exiled by the family, what happened?" Robert asked with deep concern.
"That’s all irrelevant now," Caroline smiled at her brother. "This time, you’ve done extremely well, and I must thank you."
Robert was astonished to hear this word "thank".
Caroline had never used this word to him from childhood to adulthood.
"Next, I want you to assist me by my side," Caroline said, "Also, quickly select some people from the family, either male or female, with your age as the upper limit. I want to employ my own people, outsiders are unreliable!"
After this incident, Caroline no longer trusted outsiders.
"But my reputation in the family isn’t enough, if I pick people, many might not obey me..." Robert murmured.
Though no longer the family’s useless member, there were still many in the dark who looked down on him.
"No worries, I will support you this time. I will give you opportunities to make your name shine in the family," Caroline said earnestly.
This was a form of reward for Robert.
Robert was overjoyed to hear this and repeatedly thanked Caroline.
"Alright, you can go now, I have other arrangements," Caroline said gently.
Only then did Robert respectfully leave.
After closing the door to Caroline’s study outside, Robert’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of a cold smile.
Of course, this expression vanished in an instant, disappearing completely.
After sending away her brother, Caroline thought for a while and picked up the phone to call Maiyous.
In recent days, she hadn’t had the time to concern herself with things over there, only seeing in a news piece that Maiyous had reached a major cooperation with Oshan.
Presumably, things over there had also concluded, with the Maiyous Family reaching an agreement with Oshan on the cooperation.
Now, Caroline wanted to inquire about the situation.
Of course, she didn’t expect Maiyous to completely defeat that Bai.
But if it could teach that Bai some lessons, she would be somewhat satisfied.
"Hello."
As soon as Caroline’s call was connected and she uttered the first word, a torrent of grievances erupted from the other end, from Maiyous.
"Miss Caroline, you’re only thinking of calling me now, huh, I’m really thankful you didn’t forget this ally of yours!"
"By the way, I’d like to ask about the matter you agreed on, your attack on Bai Xiaosheng, the cooperation you promised? Where has it all gone!"
"Do you know, I was inexplicably caught in Bai Xiaosheng’s trap, I seriously suspect the problem came from your side!"
"What’s the meaning of calling me now, to laugh at my misfortune or mock me?"
"Ah, I get it, from the beginning you were opposed to the relationship between those two kids, right? You think our Lorna, being an illegitimate child, isn’t good enough for your young master Robert!"
"So, you didn’t hesitate to make us step on mines to break them up!"
Maiyous spoke with immense anger.
But with what logic did it end up as us setting them up?
Caroline had never been talked to like this before, yet she had to suppress her anger to appease the other party, "Mr. Maiyous, the situation isn’t as you say."
"This situation has hidden truths!"
"I encountered unexpected circumstances on my side too!"
"We would never look down on your daughter!"
After much persuasion, the person on the other end finally calmed down, taking heavy breaths.
Caroline took the opportunity to explain, saying her end had also suffered leaks, resulting in heavy losses.
Maiyous was riled up again, "So you mean the leaks came from my side? You just said, all your arrangements were investigated, I ask you, how many names did you give me, how could it be possible for leaks from my side to capture everything on your end!"
"Mr. Maiyous, that’s not what I meant, I’ve already found the potential leaker, though I don’t know how Bai Xiaosheng bribed her, but she’s been severely punished, I would never suspect you."
Caroline was exhausted from explaining.
Upon hearing her say this, Maiyous snorted coldly and ceased his accusations.
Caroline tentatively proposed a joint venture to develop the East African market, but Maiyous responded coldly.
This was understandable.
After all, their cooperation had just ended on a sour note.
Caroline sensibly did not insist, only saying that her family wholeheartedly supported Robert and Lorna’s relationship.
Anyway, establishing a connection first and discussing cooperation later could naturally lead to success.
After this call ended, Caroline felt very uncomfortable.
Although Maiyous didn’t speak more about it, it was clear that the Maiyous Family had also suffered significant losses due to Bai Xiaosheng.
Caroline momentarily felt some sympathy for Maiyous.
"But where did the problem in this whole affair arise?" Caroline frowned in thought.
After thinking it over, only Bernice knew about her actions and about what happened over there with Maiyous.
Initially, she trusted this outsider woman too much, and now thinking back, she truly regretted it.
"However, that woman really had a tight lip; she never revealed how Bai managed to buy her over. Now, I’m not even interested in knowing..."
Caroline’s eyes narrowed, her gaze fierce.
Meanwhile, after hanging up the call, Maiyous immediately called Bai Xiaosheng to recount everything Caroline had told him.
After all, now he and Bai Xiaosheng were the closest of allies.
Bai Xiaosheng thanked Maiyous over the call, saying he’d invite him for tea when available, leaving Maiyous chuckling as he hung up.
After placing down the phone, Lin Weiwei beside Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but say, "Xiaosheng, this time we managed to catch Caroline in a vulnerable spot, letting her off so easily, aren’t we letting her get away too lightly!"
Lin Weiwei always felt slightly unwilling; Caroline had been suppressing her intent to harm them, and having caught an opportunity, she was allowed to escape unscathed.
In fact, the investigation carried out by Wen Yan had never stopped, it was Bai Xiaosheng who let it appear this way to highlight Robert’s accomplishments.
"You thought this matter could ruin Caroline?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed, "Although she has lost much of her strength, she’s far from done for, she still has considerable resources in her hands that need to be unearthed. Moreover, Vice Chairman Morgan wouldn’t just let her fall!"
"This time was primarily about resolving the troubles caused by the Maiyous Family, forming an alliance with them, and incidentally dealing with Caroline, what more do you want?"
"We’ve already made Caroline consume most of her power, turned her into a collective target for the group’s higher-ups, and enabled Robert to become her confidant, providing us with information and leads, isn’t that all a great gain?"
"I believe the results are quite fruitful," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, "There’s still time, one more time like this and she’d be finished!"
Then, Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes gleamed, hinting at a smile with depth, "And I never had my eyes fixed on her all along."
"I am more interested in Vice Chairman Morgan, who’s been with her!"
To become a vice chairman of the group, one must free up a position first.
The first candidate in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind would undoubtedly be none other than Vice Chairman Morgan!
