The eldest uncle really wanted to slap his wife's head to wake her up!
He knew very well that his wife was a little foolish, but he had never thought she would be this foolish.
He patiently said coldly, "And what of it? What I want is an alliance with the Lawrence Corporation! The Lawrence family has only one daughter, Beverly. The future of the Lawrence Corporation belongs to Beverly. If Dad is so keen on the alliance with the Lawrence family that he is willing to change his grandson as well, doesn't this clearly state his attitude? Are you an idiot? As long as we secure this alliance, won't it smoothly pave the way for Arnold to become the successor? Even if we don't interfere, the Lawrence Corporation will help their son-in-law."
Although Khloe was sometimes a little foolish, if she couldn't understand what her husband was hammering at this point, she must indeed be a fool.
Coming out of her daze, a spark of joy flashed through her eyes. The disdain and reluctance she had in her heart towards having Beverly as her daughter-in-law vanished completely.
She anxiously said, "I didn't think of that just now. What should we do next? I bet your brother has also thought of the benefits of this situation. We must act first. Otherwise, what would happen to Arnold if they get help from the Lawrence Corporation through this alliance?"
Eldest Uncle pondered, "I've been thinking about this too. However, Arnold's chances are probably higher because he's the eldest grandson. His younger brother can't get married before he does, right? The current priority is for you to find Arnold and explain the pros and cons clearly to him. Then, let him be smart, communicate more with Beverly, and improve their relationship. If Beverly could also develop a liking for him, wouldn't that be a double win?"
Khloe did not hold high hopes for this and grudgingly said, "If Beverly really could fall for someone so quickly, she wouldn't have been clinging onto Lambert for all this time."
She really did feel sometimes that the Lawrence girl had poor taste. Clearly, her Arnold was far superior to Lambert, but why did she only have eyes for Lambert?
It should be noted that Lambert's reputation was not good in the past, with one lover after another.
Anyone but a fool would not fall for a frivolous lad like him.
Could it be that the girl had a unique preference?
Khloe was lost in thought when her husband put his foot down: "Regardless, you tell Arnold that he must seize this opportunity. If my brother got ahead, we might have a hard time later." As he said this, he suddenly thought of something and quickly asked his wife, "That reminds me, how's your relationship with Hugh's wife recently?"
On hearing this, Khloe laughed lightly and replied, "How could it be? Thanks to my younger sister-in-law, who has been helping me. Whenever she mocks or picks faults, I stand on Jolene's side. Our relationship should be okay now. Even your younger brother seems a bit grateful when he sees me."
Khloe puffed up with pride as she finished, but thinking of something else, her gaze darkened, and she bitterly said, "But recently, I don't know why, but it seems that Aster has also developed some awareness and took the initiative to befriend the third branch. She's either giving things or trying to trap me into saying something wrong."
Fortunately, she is smart, otherwise, she would have been caught in the scheme.
Uncle mused, "It seems my second brother also instructed his wife" After all, Hugh's family is the only one with power and no hope for inheritance.
Presumably, the second brother also thought of this, so he instructed his wife to change her attitude towards Hugh's wife.
Thinking of Aster's calculating face, and seeing his wife who was still angry, he suddenly felt tired. He simply said, "In any case, just keep maintaining a good relationship with the third sister-in-law. Don't let the second sister trick you into saying something that may cause you to lose favor with her."
Khloe listened and quickly nodded, saying, "I understand, I'll be careful."
But this joy wasn't shared by Beverly's mother.
Out of consideration for her spouse, all she could do was feign happiness. This act had Ronaldo sneering for days.
In the meantime, Ronaldo started working in a company. Given that he had substantial funds, he offered a portion of his funds to Lambert when he learned about his plans to set up a company. However, he demanded shares in return.
Lambert, shrewd as ever, didn't refuse him but agreed to offer Ronaldo an eight percent stake.
This infuriated Ronaldo. In the end, he swallowed his pride without raising any objections. After all, if Lambert was successful and the company grew admirably, an eight percent share would translate to a sizable stake.
During this period, Stefan too invested in the company. His contribution was similar to Ronaldo's, and Lambert awarded him an eight percent stake as well.
This somewhat placated Ronaldo.
In reality, Lambert didn't want to surrender shares to anyone. His vision was to build the company on his own. He knew better than anyone how threatening dispersed shares could be. It would not favor his management of the company in the future. But he was left with no choice due to his lack of funds and considering the other two were his good friends. Thus, he agreed to give away eight percent shares.
This was his absolute limit.
Of course, Ariana was aware of this and joked, "Each time I think of it, I feel you are truly suited to be my Sales Manager. You might be able to boost performance by three hundred percent." With Lambert's oratory skills, Ariana felt nothing would be excessive in him even becoming an ambassador.
