Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 106

Meanwhile, in the study.

Frederick lounged on the couch, puffing on a cigar. His expression was stern as he asked, "What's up?"

"Mr. Winston, we received word from the company this morning. The patent for Polar Radiance perfume has been approved. Tomorrow, we need to pull an all-nighter at the office to discuss the perfume's market launch with all departments."

Frederick blew out a smoke ring. "Got it; you can leave now."

Chuck watched his expression but didn't move.

Frederick raised an eyebrow. "Anything else?"

Chuck swallowed as his face suddenly turned sour. "One more thing."

"Spill it."

"Mr. Winston, there has been some... activity at the Winston Mansion.”

Frederick’s eyes flickered, his indifferent face revealing no emotion. "What kind of activity?"

Chuck glanced at him nervously, his voice shaking as he spoke. "Maurice Winston is back from abroad. Apparently, there are some people in the family who want to hand over part of the Winston Group's assets to him."

"Part of the assets? How much exactly?"

"Um... Fifty percent. Mr. Winston, they want Maurice to share the Winston Group's wealth, and I also heard..."

Chuck's voice trailed off; he was at a loss for words as he approached the crux of the matter.

"Go on."

Chuck wiped his forehead, hastily wiping away some sweat. "I heard that Maurice's ambitions are even greater than many people imagined. He seems to want to take your place in the Winston Group."

Frederick's gaze sharpened, his fingers tightened, and the cigar snapped in half.
