Iris had only duped her into thinking so."Is that correct? Perhaps Leon is trying to cheat so he can date both Cynthia and Iris at the same time," Jacob speculated.Although obtaining either Iris or Cynthia would have been incredible, Jacob knew that if he were Leon, he would do whatever it took to obtain both women.But he couldn't tell if that was what Leon was thinking."Enough! Do you honestly believe that's possible?" Harold gave Jacob an irritated look.He was attempting to figure out what Leon was thinking, but not only did Jacob fail to assist, but his perspective was completely unrealistic.Harold's face darkened as he became concerned.Daisy shared her thoughts and gave Jacob an odd look.Iris and Cynthia were both incredible beauties, and anyone who was fortunate enough to obtain one of them should be happy; if Leon tried to date both women at the same time, he would only suffer in the end."Well, I'm just speculating. Just forget about it." Despite his beliefs, Ja
...Meanwhile, in Elegante Group.Iris was informed that Ariel sold the company and hurried to the office in hope to proceed with the paperwork for handover.As soon as she arrived into the office, she spotted Ariel."Ariel, where's Ashwin? He called and told me that he contacted the buyer and was about to sign the contract, so why are you in charge of this all of a sudden?" Iris asked in confusion."Well, the buyer Mister Mercer found an offer too low of a price! My buyer's willing to acquire Elegante Group for 780 million, so Mister Mercer has handed everything over to me!" Ariel said, not mentioning the fact that she and Leon practically robbed the deal out of Ashwin's hands.Since Ashwin betrayed Iris for Jacob and was rendered disabled by Jacob's men, she was not concerned at all that Ashwin would tell Iris the truth."Are you saying that you sold Elegante Group at 780 million?" Iris gasped in disbelief.Elegante Group's market value was at 650 million and that was the pri
"Young Group is deep in mud right now, I have no other choice but to sell Elegante Group." Iris sighed in resignation."O- Okay, then," Knowing that Iris's mind was set, Ariel proceeded to say, "Iris, there's something that I need to remind you. The Young Group is in a crisis now probably because of the Lowes. You and your family need to be careful!""Ariel, are you mistaken? According to what I know, the Lowes have nothing to do with this at all. How can they be involved?" Iris was confused as to what prompted Ariel to say such a thing."I'm not mistaken and I personally think that they are vicious people who won't let this chance go! They might not look like they participate, but who knows what they are doing in the dark? Nonetheless, just watch out!" Ariel said.Both Ariel and Leon witnessed how Jacob bribed Ashwin into selling him to Elegante Group with a price lower than market value. However, since Leon was involved and Ariel did not have any proof, she could only warn Iris.
No one knew who was pulling the string behind the venture capital company.Meanwhile, it took Gilbert everything to finally resolve the earlier crisis, yet Young Group was at the brink of crumbling apart within the matter of a few days.Anger and exhaustion overwhelmed him and after spitting blood in his own office, he fell unconscious.It was an extremely critical moment and the fact that the chairman fell ill shaken the Youngs to their cores.Everyone in the family felt as though a storm awaited them.Back in the Young Mansion, Gilbert was hurried back to the mansion by his subordinates.Daisy and the other elders hastily called for the Holy Doctor, Graham's help in treating Gilbert.Inside one of the rooms, Gilbert laid in bed while Graham checked his body thoroughly.Next to them, stood Iris and other elders as they waited anxiously for the diagnosis worriedly.After a while, the bodycheck was done and Iris asked, "Graham, how's my dad?""Mister Young has a rather complic
Things moved toward her favor as Harold would not have to do anything to get rid of Gilbert.Half an hour later, Gilbert regained consciousness after taking the medicine prescribed by Graham. When Iris explained his condition to him, Gilbert was utterly stunned and was at the brink of a mental breakdown."How could this happen?" Gilbert paled, his shoulders slumping.Young Group was the foundation of the family and he went as far as to forcing Iris to sell"Gilbert, your health comes first. You can stay home to rest for now. As for Young Group, perhaps we can hand it over to Jonah for now!" One of the elders suggested.Jonah Young was Randy's father, another direct descendent of the second generation among the Youngs."Yes. Jonah's a talented man and he should have no problem taking over."The other elders nodded in agreement."N- No way!" Gilbert gaped.Jonah was his cousin and was also one of the very best martial artists of the second generation among the Youngs. He reached
If Gilbert insisted on acting as he pleased, the elders still preserved the right to remove him even if he managed to be appointed as the leader."I-" Gilbert's expression darkened at the confrontation. He glanced at Iris and an idea began to form in his mind."Elders, please wait! How about this? I can hand the company over to Iris and she can manage it as the chairman in my absence!" Gilbert blurted out.Iris was his daughter and handing the company over to her would be a hundred times better than to hand it over to Jonah.If Iris succeeded in overcoming the crisis, her success would only be considered as Gilbert's accomplishment and he would have no issue in becoming the next leader of the Youngs."That's a good idea!""Iris has just made great sacrifices by selling Elegante Group to save us. She's a talented businesswoman and if we hand the Young Group over to her, she might be able to get us past this storm!"...The elders whispered to one another and agreed with Gilbert
Royce was his son and Iris was his daughter, so there was no difference if Royce or Iris took over so long as the Young Group did not fall within the hands of someone else."Is that supposed to be a joke or something, Daisy?!""What you said might make sense, but Royce is far too young and hasn't even graduated from university. How can he take over?"...The elders argued."It's true that Royce doesn't have much experience in managing a company, but he had Gilbert and me with him. Elder Albert handed Elegante Group to Iris back when she graduated from university, didn't he? Royce is about to graduate right now and we can hand the company over to him with Gilbert and me guiding him. There won't be any issue!" Daisy said casually."What?! How can that possibly work?!""Daisy, the company is at risk and we need someone with sharp eyes for running a business to take over. That's the only way the company could stand a chance in surviving!""Royce doesn't know a thing! It's insanity
Iris was stunned and jumped to her feet as she glared daggers at Daisy. "Daisy Finch, what's the meaning of this? I've done as you said and sold Elegante Group, and now you want me to sacrifice even more by marrying Jacob Low?! What are you trying to do??" Iris questioned sharply.She only sold Elegante Group to avoid marrying Jacob and did not expect Daisy to continue pushing her to accept the marriage despite the fact that she already sold the Elegante Group, so she was fuming with rage."That was then, and this is now! I told you to marry Jacob Lowe and you refused to. You were the one who insisted on selling Elegante Group, so how's that my fault?" Daisy retorted.It was always Daisy's plan to slowly melt away Iris's reluctance by asking her to sell Elegante Group first, before forcing her to accept the marriage proposal.Now that Iris sold her own company, she had nothing left to defend herself and could be easily manipulated because she no longer held any value to the Youngs
