Gabriel’s expression underwent a huge change. He was completely flabbergasted and not willing tobelieve Alex’s words.
Delmont’s face was a twisted mask of surprise as well. As they all knew, Samson was Lumenopolis‘well- known Master of martial arts. And yet, Alex had killed him. The ludicrousness of the entiresituation made Delmont wonder if Alex was just joking with them.
“If you don’t believe me, we can always pay the Morrisons a visit,” Alex said sarcastically.
Looking at Alex suspiciously, both Gabriel and Delmont went through an internal struggle as they didn’tknow what to say.
Alex just ignored them. He was very disappointed with his uncle and cousin, to the point that he felt nopity for them.
He turned back to look at his grandfather. “How much is the Morton family still worth?”
“What market worth can we still have?” Hugo sighed heavily, a bitter smile on his face. “Our familymight be going bankrupt in three days. Even if we make it past that, Morton Corporation won’t be wortha damn anymore.”
Jeanne sighed quietly as well. In just eight short years, the Mortons had gone from a powerful familywith a market worth of more than ten billion to the sorry state they were in now. It was a tragedy.
After a moment’s thought, Alex said, “Grandpa, I’m going to invest five billion to buy fifty–one percent ofMorton Corporation’s stocks.”
“Are you serious, Alex? With this five billion, we can pay off our debts to the bank and keep thecompany project. That still leaves us with three billion for the company’s cash flow too. This might evenbe the key to helping the Morton family rise again!” Hugo said with a sense of excitement in his voice.
He truly believed that Alex was wealthy. Rumor had it that was the reason why Susan was sodetermined to track Alex down. According to the furtive news, Alex’s father transferred hundreds ofbillions of the Jefferson family’s fortune under Alex’s name.
“Alex, are you serious about this?” Jeanne looked at Alex with surprise. She was rather delighted.
Gabriel and Delmont stared at Alex in disbelief as well. If Alex was willing to invest that five billion intheir company, then their family would no longer be in any imminent danger of being declared bankrupt.They could even start planning and preparing for their eventual return to power.
Alex nodded, “I’m serious, Grandma. I can transfer the money to all of you by today, but I have one
condition.”
“Just tell us about it,” Jeanne said. Everyone focused their attention on Alex with looks of eageranticipation on their faces.
Alex’s gaze swept past Gabriel and Delmont but landed squarely on Reine.
“My only condition is that Reine must be named as the executive director of the company. She may nothave any experience in directing a company, so I’ll have to request that you take some time to teachher everything she should know before you retire,” Alex said to Hugo firmly.

All of Gabriel and Delmont’s thoughts suddenly dissolved into incoherent white noise. It was as if theywere struck by lightning, ugly expressions appeared on their faces as they finally realized what hadhappened. Alex was determined to remove them from the game.
“Alex, I don’t think I can do that! I’ll do well enough as a manager. You should let Uncle Gabriel orDelmont be the executive director. I can’t manage the entire company.” Reine shook her head at Alexquickly.
However, Reine was perfectly competent at managing a company, She just refused to be caught in apower struggle over the company with Uncle Gabriel’s family.
After her father passed away, Reine started working hard to improve her leadership skills. Now, hermanagement skills had far exceeded that of Delmont’s.
But she knew that as a mere girl, there was no hope in her being able to win against Uncle Gabriel’sfamily. She was also perfectly aware that Grandpa and Grandma would not hand over MortonCorporation to her as well.
Hugo and Jeanne found themselves faced with a dilemma as well. After all, they placed most of theirhopes in Gabriel and his son because Reine was bound to marry someone else at some point.
After a moment of silent consideration, Hugo finally spoke. “Alex, Reine will be married in a few years.She won’t be able to focus on managing the company then. Besides, constantly changing the companyleader will also cause unrest among the management staffs.”novelbin
Reine’s expression remained unchanged, but her grandfather’s words still made her feel slightly upset.Her grandfather’s conservative mindset was a typical example of patriarchal thinking.
For the first time, Reine found herself bitterly wished to be born a boy.
Without any hesitation, Alex just delivered his killing stroke impatiently. “Look, I just want equity of the51% of the shares. You don’t have to distribute any of the dividends to me, and I won’t interfere in themanagement of the company. However, I just can’t stand the sight of Uncle Gabriel and his family. Idon’t care how much of the dividends they receive, but I don’t want them to control Morton Corporation.I’ll give you some time to think about this, Grandpa.”
