Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1180: Touching the Bottom Line!

"Why?"

Joseph and the butler both looked at Jennings.

"July is the deceased wife he mentioned at our party earlier. We wanted to act against July today, and it probably touched his bottom line."

Jennings said.

"What deceased wife?"

The butler was still unclear.

Although he was at the party that day, he was busy hosting the guests and didn’t hear what the Descendant of the Kanes said at all.

However, Joseph looked grave: "You mean they are a couple?"

Whether the Descendant of the Kanes’ wife is alive or dead doesn’t interest him much.

But if the Descendant of the Kanes and Laura Quinn’s daughter are a couple, then it’s a big deal.

Mind you, the Kanes are the top on Desrozin City’s financial leaderboard, and with the Quinn Group among the top five, together they have enormous power. What future does the Marsden Family have then?

"It seems like it now."

Jennings responded gloomily.

Even though he’s confident July Quinn wants to marry him, it currently seems like nobody can interfere between the two.

Especially this time when they just threatened July Quinn, and the Descendant of the Kanes blocked all their retreats.

"Damn it, why did you just tell us now about such an important matter?"

Joseph was nearly furious, even charging at Jennings and slapped him.

If Jennings had told him earlier about the connection between the Descendant of the Kanes and July Quinn, he wouldn’t be so passive.

"Dad..."

Jennings, after being slapped, just looked at Joseph mournfully without daring to speak.

After all, it was due to his selfishness that he kept these things hidden all along.

And after hitting Jennings, Joseph calmed down quite a bit.

Actually, it’s not entirely Jennings’ fault; earlier when The Penguin Hotel was sold cheaply, the Descendant of the Kanes suddenly got involved, and they should have been more alert.

They were just too eager to obtain the liquidity then, so they didn’t pay attention.

"Sir, I think the most important thing now is not to criticize Jennings for right or wrong but to resolve the issue promptly." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The butler has served the Marsden Family his entire life, and he also hopes to receive a generous pension before retiring.

But if the Marsden Family collapses before he retires, his retirement will become a problem too.

So he’s also very anxious for Joseph to resolve the current crisis and keep the Marsden Family safe.

Joseph naturally wants to solve the problem, so after pondering for a moment, he instructed the butler: "Prepare the car at dawn, and take a trip to the Kane old residence!"

"Are you going to talk to the Descendant of the Kanes? I don’t think he will change his mind."

Conversely, Jennings felt that with the Descendant of the Kanes’ slick words, his father would not gain any advantage and might even be infuriated.

But Joseph told him: "I don’t want to talk to him either."

The last time The Penguin Hotel was sold cheaply, Joseph had crossed paths with the Descendant of the Kanes.

That time, Joseph almost ended in a miserable defeat.

In such a situation, Joseph does not want to face the Descendant of the Kanes again; who knows if he’ll trick him so badly there won’t even be scraps left?

"Then who are you looking for? Kane?"

Jennings asked.

"Yes, we’ll talk to him only. After all, we’ve had so many years of friendship."

Joseph believes that although he might not have a very friendly relationship with Kane, at least there hasn’t been any real conflict between the two families during their years in Desrozin City.

So he thinks Kane will give him some face, and with some benefits in exchange, undoing the Descendant of the Kanes’ foolish decision shouldn’t be a problem.

Thus, under Joseph’s decision, the three of them arrived at the gates of the Kane old residence just as dawn broke.
