Christopher elegantly lifted his wine glass, his eyes reflecting a hint of laziness.
“What’s going on with them? Tell me all about it.”
“Old Master Logan is getting on in years and wishes to step back. He’s already decided to appoint Ryan as his successor. Ryan will be the Hoffman Group’s new CEO and Vice Chairman of the Board. The news has spread throughout the entire Hoffman Group. After next week’s board meeting, he’ll officially take over the company.”
“Is that supposed to be fresh news? Who in the industry doesn’t know that?” Christopher scoffed.
“At this critical juncture, the Hoffmans are embroiled in a fierce internal strife. Logan’s son, Liam, didn’t get to inherit the company. Instead, he watched as his nephew surpassed him. I bet he’s seething with rage.”
“What use is that? It’s nothing but impotent fury. If Liam had any real ability, he would’ve claimed the position when Ryan’s father died. Why would he need to wait until now for his nephew to surpass him?”
Christopher suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Taylor. “You didn’t come here just to tell me these useless things, right? What else have you found out?”
“I’ve heard that Liam and Zoe have been getting close. They’ve secretly allied to retaliate against Ryan.”
Taylor’s face turned grim. “You might as well intervene now. You can help them out and give the brat, Ryan, some trouble. If they succeed, you can vent your anger. If they don’t, Liam and Zoe will take the blame. No matter how big the trouble, it won’t affect you.”
Being astute, Christopher naturally understood Taylor’s hint.
In truth, whether the Hoffman Group prospered or not had little to do with Christopher.
Among the four prominent families, the Hoffmans ranked fourth. His real competitor in Savrow had always been the Salvador Corporation, not the Hoffman Group.
But he still decided to make a move against Ryan solely because Ryan was Justin’s only best friend.
Only by striking Ryan could Justin really feel the pain.
“Taylor, you’re starting to do things more to my liking.”
