Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Trapped by Someone (3)_1

"Oh? Is that so?" Mrs. Brown said as she calmed down, sat back in her office chair, and lowered her head to think.

Meanwhile, Oster, holding the last two issues of the newspaper, went to get praise from Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang. As soon as Oster reached the offices of Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang at Dragon Society, he threw the newspapers in front of them, and then plopped down smugly onto the sofa.

Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang glanced at each other, then at Oster, before picking up the newspapers in front of them.

"How about that? I did a good job, didn’t I? Did I help you guys get even?" Oster said eagerly as he saw Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang look through the two newspapers.

"Oster, you did very well this time," Xia Yujie complimented flatly.

But it was Xia Yujie’s sparse praise that made Oster’s tail wag high in the air.

And Oster really did wag his tail correctly this time. His action propelled Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang’s plan forward. When they demanded the Brown Family change the Family Head and the Brown Group its CEO, it suddenly became much easier.

According to the initial plan, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang would not have met with Mrs. Brown so soon, but with Situ Xin back in the country, how could they be in the mood to stay in BL? Moreover, they had learned from their subordinates at Dragon Society back home that the Situ Family seemed to have encountered some trouble.

Given Situ Xin’s sudden change of plans to rush back to the country, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang confirmed the news they had received. So, they were now rushing to wrap up their affairs and return to the country.

They were afraid that when the time came, if Situ Xin needed their help, they would not be in the country.

When meeting with Mrs. Brown, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang didn’t beat around the bush, but went straight to the point, knowing full well that Mrs. Brown was not an easy person to deal with, and her intricate scheming could dizzy anyone.

Of course, that’s not to say Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were afraid of Mrs. Brown, they just didn’t want to waste their precious time on such an old woman.

"Mrs. Brown, I’m not going to beat around the bush either. Let me be direct, you’re here today for the contract issue between our Dragon Society and Brown Group, right?" said Liu Yuxiang, his face tight, a stark contrast to his usual frivolous demeanor in front of Situ Xin, as he sat opposite without picking up his teacup.

"Yes, I am here today for the contract between our two families. Since we’re all straightforward people, I’ll also cut to the chase. I want to ask, our Brown Group and Dragon Society have had no interaction before, let alone offended Dragon Society. Why then does Dragon Society want to screw with Brown Group?" Mrs. Brown had previously had private investigators look into it, but they couldn’t find anything the Brown Family had done to offend Dragon Society.

"Heh, since Mrs. Brown has asked, it would be uncivil of me not to give you face," Liu Yuxiang said, to which Mrs. Brown started to respond, only to be cut off by Liu Yuxiang. "Please be patient, Mrs. Brown. I haven’t finished speaking yet. Yes, your Brown Group has not offended our Dragon Society. But Brown Kress, your CEO of Brown Group, has offended someone very important to our Dragon Society."

"Kress has offended someone from Dragon Society?" Mrs. Brown didn’t expect this turn of questions.

"That’s right, Mrs. Brown. Let me put it straight. To salvage the current issues with our contract, it’s not impossible. Our Dragon Society has just one demand: that Brown Kress steps down from his positions as CEO of Brown Group and Family Head of the Brown Family and allow another son of yours to inherit the roles," Liu Yuxiang revealed, abruptly eliciting a vehement reaction from Mrs. Brown.

Jumping up from the sofa, Mrs. Brown spoke with agitated tone, "That’s impossible, I’m telling you it’s impossible. I will not let that bastard inherit the position of Family Head of the Brown Family, never."

This other son, her so-called son, was in reality a love-child, her only stain in life.

Mrs. Brown’s fierce rejection was expected by Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang. Watching Mrs. Brown lose her composure completely, their estimation of her dropped another level; they thought, Mrs. Brown still had much to improve.

In their hearts, they thought if Situ Xin were in this situation, he probably wouldn’t even change his expression.

Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were not at all worried about Mrs. Brown’s opposition. Xia Yujie, who had been silent until now, set his teacup down, looked at Mrs. Brown, and coolly said, "Mrs. Brown, don’t be too quick to refuse. Think about it. If you don’t comply with our demands, think of the consequences for Brown Group. Not to mention losing a third of your total assets, your influence at Brown Group will take a severe hit. Furthermore, even if you, Mrs. Brown, don’t agree, those shareholders of Brown Group, upon hearing my request, they might be very willing to have your other son replace Brown Kress as CEO of Brown Group and as Family Head of the Brown Family, won’t they?"

"You! So you were already conniving with that bastard, aiming to take my son’s CEO position." By this point, Mrs. Brown finally understood the situation – the unwelcome son’s shadow was behind this affair. "Get that bastard out here. I want to confront him, how dare he conspire with outsiders against Brown Group."

Mrs. Brown’s thoughts about conspiring with the illegitimate son were actually a misunderstanding. Originally, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had no intention of involving the Brown Family’s illegitimate son. Their goal was to force Brown Kress out of his CEO position at Brown Group. But then they thought it wasn’t punishment enough for Brown Kress and upon learning that Brown Kress had a half-brother whom both he and his mother despised, they considered how much more painful it would be for Brown Kress to see that despised half-brother take over after his removal, a blow that would undoubtedly hurt more than bankruptcy.
