A concerned frown appeared on Jeffrey's forehead. He turned to his father, Jordan, and huffed, "Dad, why don't we just sell off our property and run away with the money? If Kenneth really wants to attack us, we'll b e dead!"
Jordan roared, "B*stard! Sell off our property?! If we sell it in a hurry, my billion-dollar empire may cost only 200 million! Do you know that, you idiot! This is m y hard work!"
Liam nodded. "Dad is right. Jeff, Weaver Pharmaceutical is dad’s precious creation, how could we sell it just like that?"
Jeffrey raised his hand and slapped Liam. "Shut up, b* stard! Do you think you have any say here?" 4
Liam stumbled a few steps back because of the force o f the slap, covering his face. He pouted in dismay, but he spruced up and said firmly, "Jeff, I'll still say it even if you slap me. The company is dad's hard work, we cannot sell it!"
"I’m gonna f*cking kill you!" Jeffrey's face turned into a n ugly shade of red. He was about to jump on Liam when Jordan, who had always looked down upon Liam, stepped up and stopped him. "Your brother is right! We must find a way to solve this! You can't just sell everything and take off! It's my legacy that I worked for my whole life!"
Then, Jordan breathed a deep breath and said, "Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. Between you two, whoever can solve this crisis will be elected as the chairman of the Weaver Pharmaceutical. The person who fails in this mission proves that he is unable to lead and manage my company!"
Jeffrey burst out frantically, “Dad! How can this illegitimate b*stard inherit your company!"
Jordan growled, “B*stard or not, he is still my son! If you, as the eldest son, are not capable, you'll be abdicated!"
Liam, who was quietly listening to their commotion, heaved a sigh of relief.
He had been under duress in the Weaver family for so many years. After all the humiliation and insults, it was finally his time to rise! 1
Frankly speaking though, Jordan would not hand over his family business to an illegitimate child.
Unfortunately, his eldest son, Jeffrey, was incompetent. He had to find a way to stimulate his enthusiasm and force him to find a solution to the current crisis. 4
