Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1431

I widened my eyes. "How can you remain so calm?”

Jordan would definitely make use of the land titles if they fell into his hands. These were land titles from 20 years ago, and their added value would total up to an astronomical amount. Although it was very likely that they would be taken back as they were private property rights, they would still give Fredericks Corporation plenty of benefits.

Theo smirked. "Do you think I would sit around and watch you give him the box? I kept the real box safe with me."

I froze. "I gave him a fake box?”

Yes. "These land titles will not only make up for the losses Fredericks Corporations suffered, but they can also bring Fredericks Corporations to greater heights. They can then continue to covet Grant Corporation. If he knows that the box he got is fake, he'd definitely try to get us killed."

Theo let out a slight smile. "At the moment, it seems like he hasn't opened the box yet."

Seeing his calm and collected demeanor, I could not help but ask, "How are you so sure that he won't open the box?"

"According to Fredericks Corporations' usual high-profile way of doing things, he'll certainly make a big deal out of it to put Fredericks Corporations in the limelight. Next, he would contact someone to voluntarily hand over these lands, winning not only money but benefits and reputation. If he needs to rely on someone who's more powerful for help, he'll easily be able to find one."

I pursed my lips. "What will Jordan do if he opens the box and finds that he’s been cheated?”

"What else can he do?"

Theo sneered. "He may not necessarily be able to open the box, but even if he does and realizes that it's fake, he can only endure it even if he’s dying to kill us. That's unless he doesn’t want to get the real box ever again. But before he opens the box, we have no way of getting rid of him."

I sighed. "To put it bluntly, the Fredericks are crazy about money. So many years have passed, and the Fredericks family is already considered a top-notch family in the business world by now. Their family fortune has long reached a staggering figure, so why can't they be content with what they have?"

Theo sneered. "Greed has been engraved in the Fredericks' genes, so they won't be satisfied no matter how much they have."
