The press conference held by the Simpson family lasted until two o’clock in the afternoon. The reporters hurried back to their companies to publicize the interview as fast as they could.
“The Glory Group, a thief of commercial secrets, is suspected of commercial crimes.”
“The New-Easton Group’s Immortal Serum, with promising health benefits, will be available soon.”
“Liam Simpson and Kian Simpson were arrested on the spot by the police…”
The incident made headlines for most news outlets based in major cities in Hayden Province. The Glory Group lost its reputation overnight. NASDAQ showed that the Glory Group’s stocks fell to their daily limit, losing more than 10 billion.
“Jorge has done a great job!”
At the Easton’s house in Reston District.
It was midnight. Albert was drunk, his face red. He gave Jorge a thumbs up and said, “I thought that we would lose everything this time, including the whole company. I didn’t expect… Well, forget it. Let’s drink!”
Roselyn drank a few glasses of wine. When she gazed at Jorge’s handsome face, she blushed.
She recalled what had happened during the day. Back then, she and the upper management of the company were at a loss because they had no idea what to do.
The Simpson family had orchestrated a plan and held the press conference on purpose. To her surprise, Jorge turned the tide and the New-Easton Group gained the upper hand by noon. The press
conference helped to polish the New-Easton Group’s image instead, creating enough publicity for Immortal Serum.
“That is my duty.”
Jorge didn’t take the credit. “Albert, Roselyn, everything is ready now. Immortal Serum can go into production. There are no longer obstacles ahead. Things will go smoothly.”
Albert was relieved and more than satisfied with his son-in-law. In the past, Albert did not even look at Jorge at all. However, now, Jorge was already the pillar of the Easton family. Jorge not only created the New-Easton Group but also cured Albert’s leg. Albert had nothing to worry about with such an outstanding son-in-law around. “Jorge, Roselyn…”
Full and drunk, Albert had an idea in his mind.
After a moment of hesitation, he said in a low voice, “I’m in a good mood and want to discuss something with you two.”
What was it?
Jorge guessed it and said with a smile, “Albert, you are the elder and free to make your decisions. Roselyn and I will support you anyway.” novelxo.com fast update
“Well…”
Slightly stunned, Albert looked at Jorge and said with a bitter smile, “Jorge, you have already guessed it, right? Now I have an enviable family and a successful career, but…”
Albert’s face darkened slightly, and tears wetted his eyes. Then he continued, “I am still a member of the Easton family. I … am worried about your grandpa.”
He was referring to his father, Kaleb Easton. Kaleb used to run the family.
Ever since Jorge went to Cloud City alone and took back the Easton family’s business from Fred, Jeffery and George were expelled from Ocean City and fled to seek refuge with Edward.
However, paralyzed in bed, Kaleb was left behind and sent to the Sunset Welfare Institution in Ocean City. No family came to visit him and he was living a horrible life.
Lying on his sickbed, Kaleb shed tears in silence when he stared at the high walls and withered leaves outside the window…
Thinking of this, Albert cried.
“Kaleb did make a lot of mistakes in his life. He is biased and muddled, and always finds excuses for his weakness… I hated him like others, and even cursed him.
“But he is my father! Although he doesn’t like me, he didn’t throw me away, nor did he starve me to death when I was a kid. This is enough. I can’t just watch him die without a family by his side…”
Albert almost broke, tears streaming down his face. “Albert…”
Hugging Olivia by the dining table, Aleena looked at her crying husband and felt great pity for him. “I misjudged Kaleb. Now…”
“Jorge, Roselyn, can you show some sympathy for Kaleb. He is old, so he inevitably makes mistakes sometimes. We are younger than him and should show him respect.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Roselyn bit her lips and turned to look at Jorge, with tears in her eyes.
“Mom and Dad, tidy up the room tonight.”
Jorge gave a faint smile.
“Respecting the old and loving the young is a tradition of the Daclustein Kingdom. Kaleb did something awful, but we can’t be heartless to him.”
“Roselyn and I will set off tomorrow morning and bring him back.
