His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 700

Matthew casually lifted his wine glass, a lazy glint dancing in his eyes. “What’s the news? Tell me about it.”

“Barry’s getting on in years, wants to step back and has already designated Jareth as his successor. He will be taking over as the President of the Fairhaven Group and Vice–Chairman of the Board. The news has spread throughout the Fairhaven Group. After next week’s board meeting, Jareth’s officially take office.”

“Is that supposed to be news? Everyone in our circle knows that.” Avery scoffed.

“At this critical time, the Fairhaven Group’s internal strife is fierce. After the death of the Fairhaven family’s eldest son, Gary, as Barry Fairhaven’s only son left, didn’t inherit the leadership. Watching the younger generation step over his head, stirring things, I bet his current hostility is even more intense than that of a ghost!”

“What’s the use then? It’s just impotent rage. If Gary truly had capability, he would have secured his inheritance right when Jareth’s father passed. How could he wait until now to be overtaken by his junior?”

Avery’s gaze sharpened suddenly, turning suspiciously to Harvey. “You didn’t come all this way just to tell me about this nonsense, did you? What else have you found out?”

“I heard that Gary and Jareth’s sister, Edith, have grown quite close. They’ve formed an alliance in the shadows, planning to take down Jareth together.”

Harvey’s expression was dark and brooding. “Why don’t you as well intervene at this time, lend them a hand, and give that lad Jareth a taste of difficulty! If it succeeds, you can take credit. If it fails, Gary and Edith will shoulder the blame, and you’ll be as untouchable as ever.”

Avery was astute and naturally understood his meaning.

Truth be told, whether the Fairhaven Group fares well or not didn’t concern him much.

Among the four major families, the Fairhaven Group was only in fourth place. His real competitors in Elmsworth were the Abernathy Group; the Fairhavens didn’t even register.

But he was still compelled to act against Jareth, simply because Jareth was Thaddeus‘ one and only, best friend!

Only by striking Jareth could Thaddeus truly feel the sting.

And only Thaddeus‘ pain could bring him joy.

“Harvey, you’re getting more and more attuned to my thinking.”

Avery adjusted his gold–rimmed glasses and picked up his phone, dialing Edith’s number.
