Chapter 142: Chapter 141: The Cause of Father’s Death

"The reason those shareholders support Uncle Miles is that he promised them substantial benefits."

Shawn Grant hurriedly spoke after South Grant finished, "If he can offer those shareholders benefits, I can too."

South Grant scoffed at this moment.

"Third Uncle, do you think you’re wealthier than Second Uncle, or have broader connections than he does?"

The gap between Shawn Grant and Miles Grant was not minor.

He not only lacked Shawn Grant’s financial and human resources, but even his brains were inferior.

Shawn Grant could understand the implication in South Grant’s words and said with some embarrassment:

"What do you know? Since your father’s death, Miles Grant has been controlling the Grant Family, finding ways to win people’s hearts. If he weren’t trying to squeeze me out of the company these past two years, I wouldn’t have realized his sinister ambitions. Moreover, your father’s death likely has something to do with him. After all, your father’s presence was a stumbling block for Miles Grant. As long as your father remained in the Grant Family, those shareholders of Grant Group wouldn’t acknowledge Miles."

Shawn Grant said these words partly out of frustration, partly to sow discord.

Because of the Grant Group’s conflict, Shawn Grant has already marked Miles Grant as his number one rival, aiming to incite South Grant’s hatred towards Miles, which is why he brought Ian Grant into the picture.

After Shawn Grant finished, he listened for a long time to no sound from the other side of the phone, and after a while, heard South Grant’s cold voice come through:

"What exactly happened when my dad suddenly passed away?"

Listening to South Grant’s voice, Shawn Grant hesitated for a moment, pondering how to respond, when South Grant continued:

"You can choose not to say, but don’t expect my help. Even if I give you all my shares, you won’t be able to fight against Miles Grant."

Shawn Grant hesitated for quite a while before saying to South Grant,

"During the time Big Brother passed away, I wasn’t in the country and didn’t know what happened. The family said Big Brother died suddenly from an acute illness. I thought so too, until the new nanny, Tilly, told me she overheard Miles Grant and Henry Grant murmuring in the study, planning to use the same tactic they used on Big Brother against you."

South Grant, hearing these words, felt a tightness in her heart.

During the time her father passed away, she was participating in a school summer camp and wasn’t at home.

The summer camp was completely closed off, teachers and students didn’t bring their phones. By the time South Grant returned from the summer camp, her father was already buried.

That night, her mother gave her a jade token, instructing her to take care of her siblings, and the next day she disappeared.

Now, hearing Shawn Grant’s words, South Grant felt as though a blunt knife was carving slowly into her heart.

South Grant was no longer the naive South Grant of her previous life.

Upon hearing Shawn Grant’s words, she wasn’t overwhelmed with rage.

Instead, she thought that Shawn Grant might be lying on purpose, trying to get her to deal with Miles Grant.

However, there’s also the possibility that Shawn Grant was telling the truth.

"What did they say?"

"I don’t know, their voices were low, and the nanny only heard a little bit. I suspect your father’s matter is related to them."

After Shawn Grant finished, listening to no response from South Grant’s side, he asked anxiously:

"South, they’re holding a board meeting tomorrow to oust me from the general manager position. If the company falls back into Miles Grant’s hands, it’ll be extremely difficult to reclaim it in the future. Granting his wish, Big Brother won’t rest in peace knowing."
