HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 414 - Jackson Family



Chapter 414 - Jackson Family

John tightened the grip on his phone as frustration surged his chest. His father has only scolded him after telling him about the encounter he had with Vincent Shen, which didn't go well. Instead, he was warned twice by the couple in a separate conversation.

"Dad, Miss Hailee... I mean, Mrs. Shen. She heard my conversation with Vincent and warned me not to be in the same place as her..." John paused when his father spoke. "But Mrs. Shen clearly declares that we should take our hands off her husband. Otherwise, it's the end of J Group."

From the other end of the call, the old Jackson clenched his palm into a ball of fist and gritted his teeth as he contracted the pupils of his eyes.

Listening to his son's report, he doesn't want to believe that Jacob's daughter can truly be this terrifying. That girl was too sweet and fragile. She only relied on her knights, who would deal with everyone on her behalf. But John has no reason to lie and make up this story.

Although Hailee Davies is accomplished, many think she isn't good enough to run Davies Corporation. She still looks like the brat princess Jacob pampered so much.

This was why Jacob suddenly opened the search for a competent man to be his son-in-law. However, he need not look far because he already had the men he sees suitable for his daughter, making outsiders stand no chance. However, Liam Huo did everything to harm these men.

But no one actually thought she would disappear one day and when she returned. She brought a husband and soon a mother of quadruplets that elated Jacob so much to have four grandchildren at once.

Not only that, he was too satisfied with the man his daughter brought home; he didn't think twice but entrusted the entire Davies Corporation to that son-in-law, Vincent Shen.

"Alright. Let us talk more about it at home." Chairman Jackson hung up the call, cutting his son's further report. He returned to his study, where his guest was waiting for him.

Gideon Jackson sat across from the man in his early forties. He immediately apologized to the man. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Director Miller."

"It's alright. I enjoyed this Concord grape wine."

"Ah! It is a vintage wine by Davies Orchard. All of their wines were meticulously fermented..."

"Of course, I know that, Chairman Jackson." Director Samuel Miller raised his goblet and twirled the glass before gulping the liquid. "How was the princess doing?"

Gideon Jackson flinched upon mentioning the Davies heiress which his son John had just had an ugly encounter with the princess at the party.

"The princess is expecting quadruplets," Gideon wipes the beads of sweat that start forming on his forehead, as he isn't sure what Samuel Miller wanted to hear.

"It's all over the news, Chairman Jackson," Samuel said in a calm tone.

"Right!" The chairman laughs nervously. He thought that pleasing this lawyer was as challenging as dealing with his boss, Liam Huo, so he had to be careful with his words. "Ahem! I assume you speak to Master Huo?"

"No. Not anymore. As his lawyer, I can no longer speak with him as before."

When Samuel said this, Chairman Jackson could sense the anger that this lawyer had just controlled from exploding.

"Even so, can I rest assured that Master Huo would not pull out his investments in J Group?" Chairman Jackson had an expectant gaze toward Samuel Miller.

But to be honest, the chairman had hoped that now Liam Huo would be locked up on that isolated island. He is praying that Liam will be forever behind bars and can no longer return his investment to J Group.

Liam may have given the authority to his lawyer, Samuel Miller, who took care of all of his properties and assets worldwide. Still, chairman Jackson is also cunning with his own interest. He thought of making a new agreement that Samuel Miller would benefit significantly.

Samuel Miller looked straight Gideon in the eye. A moment had passed before he opened his mouth and muttered,

"How's the princess doing?"

Chairman Jackson grew frustrated in his heart when Samuel Miller never answered his queries. But he had to respond and not complain.

"I heard they were settling down in Sydney as Jacob Davies will retire and appoint his son-in-law in managing Davies Corporation."

"Is that so?"

"Director Miller, as we can see... Chairman Davies gives his full support to his son-in-law. We could not touch him as we please, like…."

"Are you afraid, Chairman Jackson?" Samuel cut the chairman's words, as he had already guessed his entire sentence.

The chairman cursed inwardly. It infuriates him that this younger man is deliberately mocking him. But the future of J Group is in Samuel Miller's hands.

"Look, Director Miller. I am just concerned about the bigger picture. We both know that Davies Corporation dominates the entire Australia, especially Sydney. If I let J Group crash into them, we both know which company will remain standing, and the company has its destruction. I am just suggesting to follow the flow."

Chairman Jackson flashed a smile as he carried on.

"I know you are a capable lawyer, but in terms of business. We both know I am the experienced one."

Listening to the chairman's speech finish, Samuel pursed his lips into a thin smile. "You are right, chairman Jackson. I am a capable lawyer. It's just a matter of time to destroy J Group."

Chairman Jackson swallowed the lump in his throat. The thought of taking the lead in this conversation had shattered. He was like a chicken standing between two giant rocks. Whoever approaches the other side, the certainty of him being crushed is definite. Either way, he could not afford to offend Davies Group and Liam Huo's lawyer, as J Group's future was both in their hands.

As the chairman remained silent, Samuel Miller spoke again.

"You have nothing to worry about, Chairman Jackson. If I am going to crush you... No one will update me about everything that is going on with the princess."

Chairman Jackson almost peed on his pants when Samuel Miller read what was playing on his head. He tried to hide uncertain emotions to exhibit in his eyes, but this is not only about the J Group. It is also a matter of his life.

"In that case, I must be grateful to Director Miller for being considerate and clever to see the benefits we will both earn."

"Of course, I do. Liam will not put me in this position if I am not capable." Samuel said with so much confidence in his voice. The straight, thin line of his mouth curves into a mocking smile, scrutinizing the old man sitting across from him.

He knew that Chairman Jackson was trying to play a game that would benefit J Group greatly.

Chairman Jackson sneered in his heart, concealing the frustration surging in his chest.

'Capable of making other lives jump off the cliff!' He muttered inwardly, as he had no way to show the disgust he felt in front of this capable lawyer.

"Director Miller, can I ask you a question?"

"Hit it…" Samuel said lazily while leisurely enjoying the white wine.

"Director Miller, are you the one who ordered to murder Miss Lan on behalf of Master Huo?"

Samuel, who was about to empty his goblet, was halted. He pursed his lips as he responded,

"Do you wish to be the next one, Chairman Jackson?"
