The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 948

Henry scoffed coldly, "Anyone can talk a good game. I want to see what you do."

"Yes, I'll prove to you that I'm the best choice for Tania," Peter replied calmly, handing a bowl of soup to Henry. "Both of you should try this."

Henry finally nodded in satisfaction.

…

Meanwhile, Lennon Group's share price plummeted sharply due to Peter's departure, as if someone had anticipated it.

Within days, shares were scooped up in large quantities by a company from Cascade City, which even managed to acquire shares from some of the more casual shareholders.

Back at the Lennon residence, a storm was brewing. Xylos, poring over the recent reports from Lennon Group, was trembling with anger. "Investigate! Find out what this company is and how it's operating in Brookville without me knowing."

"Great-Grandpa, it's not a company from Brookville," Jamie clarified.

"Where are they based?"

"Cascade City!"

Xylos was shocked. "Cascade City? Are you saying this company is based there?" He could not believe it. How could an external company have taken advantage of Lennon Group's crisis so precisely?

"Yes, it's based in Cascade City. This company only started making waves a few years ago, rising without any warning. Even people in Cascade City are uncertain about their origins. Over the past three to four years, the company has acquired nearly a dozen local businesses, and their financial power…"

Tania was Henry's daughter, a member of the Hoffmans. Given how the Lennons had treated her, they were not likely to ignore it. Moreover, Charles and Peter were close, and Charles' methods were known to be as ruthless as Peter's.

They were decisive and unforgiving to anyone who crossed them.

Charles had likely held back on Lennon Group previously out of respect for Peter, but with Peter now gone, Charles would no longer feel restrained. He would seize the opportunity to strike, hitting Lennon Group when they were most vulnerable.

Xylos' expression darkened further. "Go and meet with Charles. Find out exactly what he intends to do. We can't afford to lose out on that land from Collosus Group."

"But Great-Grandpa…" Jamie hesitated, wanting to mention how difficult this task would be. However, after meeting Xylos' steely gaze, he finally nodded. "I'll give it a try."
