After a pause, Tyler continued, "Besides, you know Jasmine's style of work. She has no high pursuit in her own quality of life, so she puts all her attention in firming and expanding the family's business empire. When Moore Group earns the profits and revenues, she will immediately use this money for a new expansion. Because of her style, no one gets their fair share of profits. Of course, they’re pissed.” 5
With that, Tyler sneered, "If I become the head of the family, I'm sure when I propose to liquidate the assets and divide them up, your uncles will not refuse my suggestion. By then, I can take a relatively large share and let them split the rest among themselves. They will not have any objections." 3
Reuben couldn't help but ask, "What if they do? What i f they ask for an equal share on a per capita basis? After all that we've done, wouldn’t it all be for their benefit?”
Tyler said with a smile, "Don’t worry. I’ve considered all these issues. After I finish up my business with the old thing, I will give them two choices!"
"One would be to let me be the head of the family. Then, like Jasmine, I will put all my energy on expanding the business empire. That way, they can't get a share of money from Moore Group for the time being. When they have no money to continue their
lavish and extravagant lifestyle, they will be very anxious and agitated.”
"The second choice is that they will give up a part of their shares to me, in which case I will agree to sell all the assets for cash, and they can get the money and live the life they want sooner."
"Now, when I calculate Moore Group’s assets altogether, they are worth more than 20 billion dollars. In order to quickly sell them off, I’ll make them into a package that is worth exactly 20 billion with very simple terms. No matter how much the sale, we will take half, and let them divide the rest among themselves. I believe they will not refuse this idea." 7
Reuben thought about it and said, "You have a point, Dad. For them, there is not much difference even if they can get a share of 3 billion or 5 billion. They will get so much money either way that they can live a comfortable life for the rest of their life.” 4
Tyler nodded and said, "From what I know about them, they are definitely willing to give up some shares and get the money early so that they no longer have to live under the hedge and be their own boss."
Reuben breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Dad, since you're all set, I'll wait for your good news in Japan!"
"After you finish dealing with the old thing, I'll return t o Oskia tomorrow! Then, we can start taking care of these follow-up matters as soon as possible. Before the Ito family finds out the hidden truth about
Jasmine's murder, we'll emigrate overseas!" 3 "By then, even if they find out that we are the masterminds, there is nothing they can do about it!" 2
Tyler laughed and said, "That’s right! Usually, it will take at least a few months to investigate such a major case. We don't need so much time. One week tops!"
With that, Tyler reminded him, "Reuben, the only variable now is not the Ito family, but Charlie. He is very mysterious and scheming. You must be extremely careful and not let him catch any clues. Otherwise, you're all alone in Japan. If he wanted to d 0 anything to you, I can't be there in time to reach and help you!” 4
Reuben hurriedly said, "Don’t worry, Dad. I've been very careful these days. I’ve been doing my best to make myself look more natural in front of Charlie, and I had all our people take up the rooms around mine. This room has also been scrutinized and has antibugging protection. I'm sure Charlie will not find anything abnormal!" 4
Tyler laughed. "Wonderful! You just wait for my good news in the hotel!"
