Chapter 423 Ajor

" Sir, although he is an actor, his past is too obscure. There are also preposterous rumours flying around claiming he is the eldest son of the Rothschild family in disguise!" The secretary reported.

It all began when the chairman's son returned battered and bruised, claiming an actor hit him without reason. The secretary had been with the family for decades and had seen how Jake grew up spoiled, so nothing about his statement could be taken at face value.

But it was his job to report it to his boss, which he did; thus, he presented his preliminary findings to the chairman personally. Contrary to popular belief, Joshua Fournier, the chairman, was an upright person.

But Jake was his only son, and he knew his son had some things, but he could easily overlook minor offences. Jake was also smart, hiding his involvement and always appearing humble when he needed to, but he never expected to run into someone like Samuel, who didn't care about his father's position.

He never faced any backlash because his father held a prestigious position in the VITA conglomerate, a multimedia giant and one of the top three media companies in Europe. Being the chairman and a large shareholder of such an organization demanded respect everywhere he went.

" Are you sure? This will become troublesome enough that I have to contact Headquarters. You know that lady has a great temper." Joshua sighed. He had to pay a great price for his son's foolishness.

" We also discovered that the young master had been abusing his power too much recently. Nobody tried to come forward fearing retaliation, but now that his image is ruined, I am unsure if it would give them courage."

" Investigate everything that brat had done! We are in a critical period in succession, so we can't handle employee complaints."

" Yes sir, there is only one more thing.." the secretary paused before saying.

" I don't know, but the young master of the Wintringham family was also present, which makes it too big of a coincidence." He had good subordinates under him.

" Wintringham family? The export-import giant? I definitely heard that he was a childhood friend with him." Joshua was in deep thought.

" What should we do?"

"Pull back the police investigation that idiot put up and get my car ready. I will personally visit the Headquarters, inform them about my arrival and ask for a meeting with the lady."

" As you wish."

Everyone knew how ruthlessly the Rothschild family treated their foes; he didn't want to become a catalyst for his company's downfall, offending them unnecessarily. He also needs to think more rationally about what to do with his son, he was too lenient up until now, but if that brat tried to pull the whole family with him, he would have to be ruthless!

"Oh, the eldest daughter of the LVHM group?" About this Delphine Arjo, Samuel was aware of her for some time now. Not because she was the eldest princess of the LVHM group but because she was known as a business wizard.

" Please don't move much. I can't take off the makeup properly."

" Sorry." Samuel was talking on the phone while the stylist did their job. It was public knowledge, so Samuel was not very secretive about it.

" Tell me more," Samuel said with a stiff face.

Delphine Arjo graduated from the EDHEC School of Business in Paris and the London School of Economics. After graduation, she joined McKinsey & Company, a strategic management consulting company, and became an international consultant.

This was also something that Samuel admired about her. Delphina did not enter the LVHM Group but accumulated her management experience outside.

After that, she entered the LVHM Group and became the department leader. She also had a hobby, which was always determined to develop new products.

She was twenty-five years old this year, and it was her first year returning to work for the LVHM Group. It piqued his curiosity when he learned that she was managing the VITA corporation as it was one of the subsidiaries of the Group. As a businessman, he had respect for others in this craft.

" What kind of pushback are we talking about?" After familiarizing with the opponent, Samuel asked Abagail for her prediction. 

" Not much; if we use full force, we can crush them with your power, but our losses will also be immense. I think it's simply a losing game considering the issue was too small."

" I agree. I am only asking to cover all bases; who knows, this punk could be her lover or something. We don't know if they will take this lying down." Samuel stood up and adjusted his clothes.

" They will unless they are suicidal about the situation. Also, from what I have seen, Miss Arjo will not have such bad taste in man, so you can completely exclude that option."

" Oh, I've never seen you praise anyone like this before."

" It's just my observation but with succession war coming in, I don't think she is that stupid to throw it all away."

" You are right. I will see how they react before proceeding." Samuel said his goodbyes and walked out of the room. Emma was still unfinished, but Rupert was waiting outside with Darren chatting. Elise was nowhere to be seen, probably because Emma took her inside; he only wished Emma wouldn't drag her into the fashion business this soon.

" Will you be fine? I don't know how he would react since you humiliated him this much." Rupert said with worry.

" Haha, let them come. As long as I am here, no one can touch a single hair of my brother's head!" Darren said confidently.

" I will be fine-"

"Mr Sam...I am sorry..." Anne came in and started apologizing. She was short on breath because she was running, but why was she so anxious? Another person came in after a few seconds with a worried look.

" Sir, the Police are at the gate! They said they are here to arrest you for assaulting Jake!"

"" What!"" Darren and Rupert exclaimed simultaneously.

" Oh, I guess I should not keep them waiting." Samuel only smiled upon hearing it. It was time for a good show to start!
