The conversation in the study carried on.
Wyatt was blessed with both sons and daughters, three cherished companions, and even came from a noble lineage. Moreover, he was immensely wealthy and respected.
While everyone envied him, little did they know that he longed to share his innermost thoughts with someone. Yet he could only confide in his secretary, who had been by his side since his younger days.
“Quentin, the current situation is more complicated than it appears.”
Wyatt’s prominent brows furrowed as he shook his head slightly. “In the past years, while Bella was traveling, Asher single-handedly managed all the conglomerate affairs. I could see he was under immense pressure. When Bella returned, he immediately stepped down, recognizing his limitations. He knew that pushing beyond his limits would be extremely difficult. Besides, Asher and Axel are not...”
Wyatt’s gaze grew opaque as he paused, hesitant to continue.
Quentin’s pupils contracted abruptly, his expression turning solemn as he remained silent.
“So, after careful consideration, Bella is indeed the most suitable successor. Even though I may not like Justin, I cannot deny Bella’s genuine affection for him. Although his situation in the Salvador Corporation isn’t optimistic, with his elder brother constantly threatening his position, Justin sincerely cares for Bella. He’s also strategic and decisive. He reminds me of myself in my younger days. Even if he can’t stay in his family business and becomes my son-in-law in the future, it will still greatly benefit Bella and our KS Group.”
Wyatt was always one to think ten steps ahead. He had even silently laid out Justin’s future path in his mind.
Quentin chuckled bitterly. “You’re overthinking, Chairman. Considering Mr. Salvador’s abilities... I don’t think he’ll resort to becoming a freeloader. He’s too ambitious for that. Besides, he has a military background. I doubt he will depend on Ms. Bella for his success…”
“Well, I’m just saying. If he’s doing well, that’s great. If not, it’ll be fun to let him help Bella swallow up the Salvador Corporation, too. I certainly won’t mind that!”
Wyatt arrogantly rolled his eyes. “Consider it a betrothal he’s offering Bella.”
Quentin remained silent.
Bella, eavesdropping from outside, bit her lip and thought, ‘Gosh, Wyatt sure has ambition! His head is in the clouds!’
