Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Change of Heir (1)_1

So, they set their sights on the illegitimate child of the Brown family. They got in touch with the illegitimate child and established a cooperative relationship. That legal assistant was a person working for Brown Kress, his half-brother by the same father.

"Mrs. Brown, you are mistaken. Your other son didn’t collude with us. We were merely helping the Brown Group to find a more suitable manager. Moreover, Mrs. Brown, have you ever considered that, given Brown Kress’s recent actions, it would be impossible for him to stay in Brown Group anyway? All we did was to request our designated person to take over the position after Brown Kress stepped down," Liu Yuxiang said, relaxing into the sofa.

"Alright, Mrs. Brown, we’ve said all that needs to be said. You can go back and think it over," Xia Yujie said, clearly implying that it was time for her to leave.

Mrs. Brown stood up and left, sensing the situation. However, as she left, her expression grew increasingly ugly.

As Mrs. Brown left Dragon Society, she was determined not to agree to the suggestions of Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang. How could she hand over the power of the Brown family to the bastard son she detested?

But this determination didn’t last long. Once the scandal involving Brown Kress was exposed, coupled with some companies’ termination of their contracts with Brown Group upon hearing rumors of potential bankruptcy, many companies whose contracts with Brown Group were expiring declined to renew them.

Such consecutive blows left the already precarious Brown Group teetering. Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang then sent someone to communicate their suggestions for the contract amendment to the shareholders of Brown Group.

Upon hearing this news, during the shareholders’ meeting, they proposed the demand that Brown Kress step down. Mrs. Brown was, of course, unwilling, but even if she objected, the Brown Group wasn’t hers alone.

The shareholders showed Mrs. Brown what would happen if they didn’t comply with Dragon Society’s demands. Facing these facts, Mrs. Brown had no choice but to lower her head and tacitly agree to the shareholders’ proposal.

Brown Kress stepped down from the position of CEO of Brown Group. He even lost his status as the Family Head of the Brown family.

When Brown Kress learned of this, especially when he found out who was taking his place, he completely broke down. He yelled at his mother, Mrs. Brown, "Mom, how could you let him take that position? Aren’t you the one who hates him the most? Ah."

Mrs. Brown was very uncomfortable with her son Brown Kress’s attitude towards her. She was already in a bad mood because the control of the Brown family’s power had fallen into the hands of that bastard. Now with Brown Kress shouting at her, her irritation reached its peak. "Brown Kress, what is this attitude? This situation today is all of your own doing. Had you not been so blind and offended the people from Dragon Society, would they be so determined to pull you down? Reflect on yourself," said Mrs. Brown before storming off.

In the following days, Brown Kress had a tough time. Other members of the Brown family, even the domestic staff, knew how Brown Kress and his mother had treated the newly appointed Family Head, so everyone, to ensure their own future lives, either avoided Brown Kress like the plague or mocked him coldly.

Not just that, even those who used to fawn over Brown Kress now ignored him when he went out. Some even looked at him with mocking eyes.

The contract between Dragon Society and Brown Group was also dissolved when the new CEO took office. Dragon Society returned all the funds previously released to Brown Group, and the project had nothing to do with Brown Group anymore.

After seeing Brown Kress receive the downfall they had anticipated, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang packed their luggage in good spirits, preparing to head back. It was while they were packing that Oster, who had already heard about Xia Yujie’s and Liu Yuxiang’s departure, actually came to Dragon Society with his luggage, looking for Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang. He wanted to join them for a trip to Country H.

Trailing behind Oster was his overwhelmed right-hand man, watching him helplessly.

On Situ Xin’s side, while Liu Yuxiang and Xia Yujie were busy dealing with Brown Kress, she had already boarded the flight back home with her grandmother.

Once on the plane, Old Madam Situ’s previously dark countenance finally improved a bit. Seeing her grandmother’s mood had stabilized somewhat, Situ Xin ventured to ask, "Grandma, what happened at home?"

When Situ Xin asked, although Loo Yaxin and Old Madam Loo were still preoccupied with their own tasks, their ears perked up at her question. They had long wanted to ask the same thing but had refrained due to Old Madam Situ’s grim expression.

"There has been an incident at home. Your grand aunt called, saying that your brother Che got into trouble," Old Madam Situ answered Situ Xin, but her frown returned as she spoke, clearly still troubled by Situ Che’s situation.

"Brother Che’s trouble? Ah, Grandma, he wasn’t injured on a mission, was he?" Situ Xin’s first reaction upon hearing it concerned Situ Che was to worry he’d been hurt on assignment. Not just Situ Xin, but also Loo Yaxin and others who were openly eavesdropping thought the same upon hearing Old Madam Situ mention Situ Che.

"No, your brother Che hasn’t been on any missions lately," Old Madam Situ denied their speculation. She paused briefly, choosing her words carefully, "Your brother Che has been plotted against. As for what exactly happened, I don’t know much either. You’ll find out when we get home."
