Chapter 12 The Trap

Anthony came into his grandfather's room with the Buddha statue.He placed the statue on a table, and then turned his wheelchair and stopped in front of the bed.

The old man lying in bed instantly saw what Anthony brought in, and he looked at his grandson with loving eyes.

"I don't know if you've noticed it, but Raymond is growing a little too big for his britches.Don't you think?"

The moment Michael mentioned Raymond's name, he couldn't conceal his disgust.

"Well, how long are you going to let him boast around acting all mighty?"

As Michael continued talking, Anthony gently poured a cup of water for his grandfather.

"He's only in charge of the family business by name.It's not like he can really do whatever he wants."

The business the Wilson family ran was divided into two major factions—the core business and the periphery business.

On the surface, what most people saw was the periphery business.

Although it seemed to flaunt the family's influence and resources, it actually had little value.

However, the core business was the one that served as the center of actual power and wealth of the family.

On top of that, it was highly classified.

It was too critical that people like Raymond weren't even qualified enough to know about its existence.

"Still, I can't help but feel sorry for you..." Michael said softly as he lowered his head.
