Elizabeth also criticized John, "Hera's right! Joaquin has never sided with the Levisay Family, so what

will we do if he takes control of the Levisay Group? I think that our family would probably be broke by

then! So, hurry up and think of a plan to kick that b*stard out of the company immediately!"

He was only considering using Joaquin's shares as leverage to threaten him to obtain the rights to

permanent cooperation with W Co. at the time. Presently, John could care less about the partnership

with W Co. because he was about to lose his company. His only thought now was to remove his son

from Levisay Group altogether! How could he not want that? Given his current position and power at

Levisay Group, his every move was under Joaquin's watch, so it was difficult for him to make a

turnaround!

While frozen in his spot, John gnashed his teeth so hard that it felt like they were about to break off.

Ultimately, he said nothing and grabbed his phone before walking to his study.

On the other hand, Jayden wasn't surprised when he got a call from John. "Is there something you

need?" he asked while flicking the burning ash from his cigarette.

He soon heard John's frustrated voice coming from the other end. "I did what you told me, but Joaquin

has taken away all my authority at Levisay Group! I've paid twice for your plan, so what should I do

now?"

In regard to this matter, Jayden had looked into it in advance. Not to mention the entire Hovington, the

news also caused a stir in Kyoland. Now everyone was becoming more interested in Joaquin.

Nevertheless, Jayden hadn't expected that and was shocked when he received the news.

Heh! I underestimated this little Captain from Area Seven. I didn't expect he could still turn things

around in the business industry, and he is pretty good at stirring up a storm. Jayden soon calmed down

and mused, No matter how glorious Joaquin is in Hovington, he can't beat me. I only have to keep him

busy. At that moment, he smiled and spoke slowly. "What's there to be flustered about? Don't forget.

You're still the chairman of Levisay Group, so you can't embarrass yourself."

John was unhappy with that reply and grunted, "To hell with being the chairman! What's the use of

being a chairman when you have no authority? You tell me not to embarrass myself? Can I embarrass

myself more than I already have? Everyone is looking at me like I'm some kind of clown! I got f*cking

tricked by my own son. That's the most humiliating thing in the world!" If this man hadn't suddenly

contacted me and asked that I do this, saying that I could get the cooperation with W Co. this way,

would I have done such a thing? The more he thought about it, the angrier he was and the harsher his

tone became. "Jayden, you came up with this idea, so you must take responsibility for this mess. You

must give me an idea on how to solve this matter."

When Jayden heard that, he raised an eyebrow and replied, "Why are you so worked up about this? It's

not like Levisay Group is going to belong to someone else. There's still a chance." He thought about it

before casually informing, "Don't worry. Since I asked you to work for me, I wouldn't mistreat you. This

situation is temporary. Once this period passes, I'll help you reclaim your position. By then, you will still

have control over the company. At this moment, you must stay calm and not cause any more problems.

Keep a low profile, and most importantly, you have to help me keep Joaquin out of my way."

On the other hand, John was confused when he heard that. "Keep Joaquin out of your way? What

does that mean?"

Jayden didn't explain but replied calmly, "If things go as planned, he might leave Hovington for Kyoland

within these two days. Therefore, you must stop him and keep him from leaving."

At that point, John was even more lost. "Why would he be going to Kyoland?"

Feeling frustrated, Jayden retorted, "Why are you asking so many questions? Just do as I say, and I'll

give you the benefits you deserve. Keep in mind that you must not allow him to leave." After saying

that, he didn't wait for a response and hung up, feeling everything was going how he wanted.

Meanwhile, John heard the call being cut off suddenly and frowned. His expression was very gloomy.

As he was aware of the Hall Family's status, he gave it a good thought after receiving Jayden's call and

thought it was doable. That was why he followed his plan. Nonetheless, it seemed things weren't as

simple as he thought, and he had underestimated Joaquin's ability. Also, Jayden couldn't explain the

situation clearly, which made him look untrustworthy.

If Joaquin left for Kyoland, he wouldn't have the effort to watch over what happened in Hovington. So,

once he left, John would have an opportunity to do something secretly. After having such an idea, John

thought, Why should I listen to Jayden and stop Joaquin from leaving Hovington? There is no need for

that! With that thought in mind, his eyes dimmed as he thought of a plan.

On the other hand, Katherine was preparing to start a blanket search over Kyoland when she received

a call from Emmanuel. When she saw the familiar contact number, her clear eyes turned cold while she

narrowed them. She left the phone to ring for a while before answering.

Soon, she heard his mocking voice from the speaker. "Hey, why did you take so long to answer my

call? It seems like you're busy looking for your daughter, right? How's it going? Have you found any

clues yet?"

While Katherine pursed her lips, she raised an eyebrow. "Does it concern you whether I found any

clues or not? It seems like you're quite free now that Gray Corporation is back on its feet. If that's how it

is, I don't mind causing some trouble for your company so that you would have something to worry

about."

"Jeez! Your tone is still as arrogant as ever!" Emmanuel scoffed. "Do you think that you are still capable

of causing trouble for Gray Corporation?"

However, she didn't back down. "Who knows? No one knows what would happen without trying. After

all, you previously thought I couldn't cause any problems for Gray Corporation, but weren't you

detained and questioned by the police? It hasn't been long since your company almost collapsed, but

you seem to have already forgotten about it."

Both were like tit-for-tat, and their tones were more impulsive than the other.

When he heard what she said, he frowned but then gave it a thought before smiling casually. "Miss

Cornell, you've always been good at arguing. Whether I was brought to the police station for

questioning or whether my company had faced a crisis, the final winner was still Gray Corporation. You,

Miss Cornell, are too young and delusional. I'd suggest you stop thinking of such unrealistic things."

"So, what? Why did you call me?" Katherine had no intention of arguing with Emmanuel. She had run

out of patience, so she questioned, "Do you have too much time on your hands, which is why you

decided to call and throw sarcastic remarks at me? If that's what it is, then you're being very childish.

Being a middle-aged man, you've already lived half of your life, so you shouldn't be this immature."
