Chapter 1076
At that moment, Winona's phone rang. After answering the call, she turned to Patrick and said, "Patrick, Allen is here!"
Finally, a smile appeared on his face. He replied, "Winona, please show Mr. Trevell in."
She nodded and stepped out.
Moments later, she came back with a tall, striking young man in his early 20s right behind her. He stood well over six feet. He was none other than Peter's younger brother, here to challenge him for the role of family heir.
Allen had once been a spoiled rich kid. But after Peter's arrest, their father's attitude toward him changed dramatically. He now doted on Allen, clearly grooming him as the primary successor to the Trevell Group.
The senior executives at Trevell Group used to greet him with barely hidden disdain. Now, they showered him with flattery. This was everything Allen had ever dreamed of.
Winona, who knew Allen, quickly introduced them, "Patrick, this is Allen Trevell, Peter's brother."
Then, gesturing to Patrick, she added, "Allen, this is Patrick Hamilton—the one I've told you about."
Before Allen could speak, Patrick immediately stood up, extending both hands with great enthusiasm. "Allen, I've heard so much about you. They say you're exceptional. Now that we've met, I can say the praise was well-deserved!"
Allen smiled in return, replying, "The honor is mine. Your reputation precedes you, and it's truly a privilege to meet you today."
Patrick was widely known as the Prince of Tarthy City—a title that carried immense weight. Even Peter, Devin, and Jett looked up to him with unmistakable reverence. When Allen heard that Patrick wanted to meet him, he made time right away. After all, winning Patrick's approval would give him a big advantage in climbing to the top of Trevell Group.
Once seated, they exchanged
pleasantries. Patrick showed such
genuine concern for Allen that it
deeply touched him. Aside from his
mother no one had shown him such sincere concern in a long time.
Sensing that the moment was right, Patrick gave Jett a subtle signal. Jett smiled and said, "Allen, you've
been abroad, but I'm sure you
Ve
heard a bit about what's going on in
Tarthy, right?"
Getting down to business, Allen nodded and replied, "I have."
Patrick laughed heartily. "So, Allen, what's your take on everything that's been happening in Tarthy lately?"
After a brief pause, he said calmly, "Patrick, let's not beat around the bush. You want me to deal with Jack, don't you? That bastard hurt my brother. I swear I'll tear him apart."
Even if he felt a sense of gratitude toward Jack, Allen had no choice but to act like the vengeful brother. Peter was his flesh and blood-his harm couldn't go unanswered.
Allen had to step up. If he didn't, how could he ever hope to claim the position of family head in the future?
Since he had set himself against Jack, siding with Patrick was only natural. The two were bound to be allies.
Patrick nodded. "Allen, I want you to
lead the Trevell Group in joining
forces with us to bring down Jack
and Elias. If we succeed, I.
guarantee the revells will see
massive gains. And I'll use almy
influence to help solidify your
position within the group?"
Lying in bed, Devin quickly chimed in, "My dad's pretty close with Mr. Trevell. I can
put in a word for you. I'm sure he'd be willing to pass the reins to you."
