Chapter 759

With Jack's capabilities, how could he surpass Zenith Capital, the company under Wilhelmina's care?

Even if he managed to surpass her, it would take countless years for him to achieve that alone. By then, it would no longer be realistic to discuss marriage.

In other words, Wilhelmina was rejecting the idea of marrying into the Lycan family. To put it bluntly, she despised Jack.

Though he had long known of Wilhelmina's arrogant character, Jack had never imagined it to reach such heights.

Emily wanted to speak of Jack's promising future, but with Wilhelmina's undeniable achievement, commanding such great capital with her own strength, her words became lacklustre. After all, the chasm between Jack and Wilhelmina was far too great.

"What's the matter? Do you lack the courage to surpass me? Or do you plan to hide under your parents' wings and continue to indulge in the resources handed to you on a silver platter?"

Wilhelmina stared at Jack arrogantly with a disdain that was hard to conceal.

However, Jack laughed in fury. Wilhelmina's disdain was within tolerable bounds for Jack. In his eyes, Wilhelmina was nothing more than a passing stranger; she was hardly worth his genuine anger.

However, he couldn't tolerate how she humiliated Quintis and Emily.

Even if Jack had a strenuous relationship with his parents, he treated them like his alma mater and homeland. He could complain about them a million times, but he would never let anyone belittle them.

Jack said sternly, "Don't worry! I don't want to marry you. I wouldn't even bat an eye at your looks, let alone those puny achievements of yours. Give me two years -I'll crush Zenith Capital beneath my feet."

"Two years?" Parents from both sides were shocked at Jack's statement. Even though Emily held Jack in the palm of her hand, she was unsure what got over Jack that he would say something so ridiculous, claiming he would surpass Wilhelmina in two years.

Did he have any idea how powerful Zenith Capital was?

Emily shook Jack's arm, attempting to make her son realize how ridiculous his words were.

Even Wilhelmina looked at Jack in shock. She wondered where Jack's confidence came from for him to say something this ridiculous. However, Wilhelmina laughed. "I'm not sure why you would dare say something like that. Perhaps you have no idea how capable Zenith Capital is. How about this? I'll give you five years. If you can surpass my achievement by then, I'll marry you!"

"You've overestimated yourself. Two years is enough. Plus, I have no idea how haggard you might look five years from now." Jack's voice was full of arrogance, and it appeared domineering. "In two years, I'll crush you beneath my feet without the Lycan family's help."

"Okay! If you can surpass me in two years, I'll do whatever you say and be at your disposal," Wilhelmina said coldly.

A noticeable tinge of mockery appeared on her face. She was unwilling to bat an eye at Jack.

She had witnessed countless arrogant people before, and without exception, everyone eventually bowed down before her. Wilhelmina relished nothing more than putting their defiance in their place. She was determined to make this man from the countryside understand just how far she could go.

As the conversation reached this point, Quintis and Emily felt no need to stay any longer. Both families would start a fight if they continued the conversation.

After exchanging pleasantries, Quintis left the hotel with Emily and Jack. They entered the car and drove off slowly. Read complete version only at find~novel~net

The atmosphere in the car was heavy as they made their journey back. This unpleasant meeting had left a heavy weight in everyone's hearts.

Finally, Quintis asked, "Jack, when do you want to start familiarizing yourself with how things work at Sandalwood Group in Alnewgo?"

Jack was taken aback but immediately understood Quintis' intentions.

Wilhelmina must have angered Quintis, so he planned to let Jack manage Sandalwood Group earlier than expected. According to Quintis' original plan, Jack would take over Sandalwood Group once Jack returned.

Although Tristan was managing Sandalwood Group, Jack was, after all, Quintis' real son.

Unless Jack had no talents to offer to the table, even if Tristan was capable, Jack would still be Sandalwood Group's rightful successor.
