Chapter 760

However, Jack had been living with the commonfolk for many years. He was unfamiliar with the rules of high society, particularly in the context of the private equity industry.

So, Quintis planned to give Jack a few years to familiarize himself with it or send him to a reputable school to further his studies before letting him take over completely.

After all, even though Jack was Quintis' son, there were other shareholders in Sandalwood Group.

If Jack were to be promoted to the position at this stage, it may attract opposition.

However, time was of the essence. Jack and Wilhelmina had a two-year agreement. How was Jack going to reach Wilhelmina's level with his strength alone?

If Jack lost, it would be admitting that Wilhelmina was better than him.

Quintis, being proud and arrogant, could not allow this to happen. He planned to hasten things and let Jack manage some business matters in Alnewgo.

Once Jack had gotten the hang of it, Quintis would let him manage business matters in Zargonia. Eventually, Jack would be elevated to the core of power within Sandalwood Group, accelerating his path to growth.

If Jack were able to learn quickly, he could meet Quintis' requirements within two years. By then, once he took control of Sandalwood Group, he would stand invincible, even compared to Wilhelmina.

Quintis had put a lot of thought into this.

However, Jack shook his head. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle my own issues." He sounded indifferent, but his voice was laced with an undeniable confidence. Emily mistook Jack's confidence for arrogance. She couldn't help but feel anxious as she said, "Don't be stubborn, Jack. Do you know who Wilhelmina is? She is the person in charge of Zenith Capital, which has a market value of 30 billion dollars! You..."

Jack interrupted Emily, "I have my ways. Let's talk about something else."

Seeing how determined Jack was, Emily and Quintis didn't dare utter another word. After all, Jack had returned home not long after. They were worried they might anger him.

So, Emily diverted to a different topic. "Jack, do you remember? Your grandfather's birthday is just a few days away. He hasn't been feeling well physically lately, so we decided to bring you along to visit him.

"Grandpa's birthday?" Jack's eyebrow furrowed slightly.

He didn't have a good impression of his grandfather. His grandparents were always strict, especially his grandmother, who treated Emily with coldness and sharp words, leaving Jack with a lingering sense of resentment.

Jack's face darkened at the mention of them. "Given their rigid rules, aren't they preaching about frugality these days? A birthday celebration..."

Quintis interjected, "Your grandfather had recently fallen ill and is in the hospital. We can visit him. Plus, it'll just be a family dinner; it's nothing big."

Emily persuaded, "Jack, since you've returned home, you should get to know them."

No matter what, Emily wanted Jack to reunite with the rest of the family.

Jack hesitated slightly before eventually nodding. "Okay."

He didn't want to go, but when he saw the pleading in Emily's eyes, he softened.

Yet, another thought stirred restlessly deep within Jack. The moment he heard they would be heading to the capital, an inexplicable thrill rose in his heart. Updates are released by Find_Novel(.)net

The capital was close to where Bella was. If he went to Montclair Conservatory, where she studied, he might bump into her, even if it was just to see her from a far distance.
