Chapter 288: BREAKING NEWS! (END)
The next day.
At Nathaniel’s residence,
As if nothing embarrassing had happened the day before, Nathaniel Jones and Martha enjoyed their morning with a cup of tea while watching the news.
The news anchor announced, "Breaking news," which made them turn their attention to the flat screen in front of them.
"And now, for our top story: Andy Bennett, the CEO of Silverstone Group, has announced on the company’s official website that Sawyer Jones is the real owner of Silverstone Group. He owned 90% of the shares of the company..."
"Cough!"
"What?"
Nathaniel and Martha exchanged shocked glances.
"Dear, you heard the anchor mention Sawyer Jones’s name, right?" Nathaniel asked, setting his cup down on the table.
"Y-Yes. Oh my goodness! Our Sawyer owns Silverstone Group. No wonder he always refused your requests for him to return to the company," Martha exclaimed.
Nathaniel said nothing; he just laughed. He had never imagined that his calm, carefree grandson was actually wealthier than he was, and he felt proud of this.

In the CEO’s office at J Tower,
A knock at the door interrupted Walter Jones as he was reading some documents.
"Come in!" Walter replied, returning his attention to the cooperation contract he needed to review before signing.
"Sir, you need to see this news," the man said urgently. He then rushed to Walter and handed him an iPad.
In confusion, Walter looked at his secretary but took the iPad and read the headline.
"What! Is this a hoax or the truth?" Walter exclaimed, continuing to read the article.
"It’s true, sir. I’ve checked the Silverstone Group website, and Andy Bennet has made an announcement there. The name mentioned in the news is Sawyer Jones. That’s your younger son, right sir...?"
Walter was deeply shocked by the news.
He remembered seeing Andy Bennet at his son’s wedding and had always wondered why Andy had attended. He also reflected on why Sawyer had never shown any interest in joining the management of their family company.
Now, everything had become clear as to why he did that.
’My son, how could you hide this from me?’ he chuckled as he glanced at his secretary.
"Yes, he’s my younger son," Walter replied before dismissing the secretary. He needed to call Sawyer to hear the news directly from him.

At a luxurious condominium,
Angela was just about to leave for her office when she heard a buzzing sound from her bag.
She checked her texts and nearly tripped over her feet when she read the headline sent by her assistant:
[Sawyer Jones, The Real Hidden Tycoon, Owns And Controls 90% of Silverstone Group Shares!]
"What the—"
She paused momentarily before returning to the living area, where she settled onto the couch and continued reading the article. After a few more minutes, she laughed while cursing her younger brother.
"My goodness, Sawyer Jones, it’s no surprise you’ve become friends with Andy Bennet. Wow, you two managed to hide this well. And here I am, utterly shocked."
Shaking her head in amusement, she called Andy Bennet to confirm whether the news was trustworthy.

At James Philips’ residence,
James still cannot forget what happened yesterday. His expression remains gloomy, and he is upset about Serena’s actions.
Sighing deeply, he tries to shake off his annoyance, but it is difficult.
"James, you should drink this Earl Grey to soothe your mind, dear," Sophie says as she sits beside him, handing him a cup of tea.
He feels a bit better after taking a sip of the Earl Grey tea. A smile slowly spreads across his face as he looks affectionately at her.
"Sophie, you know what? Only you and Abby can make me happy these days."
"Thank you, dear. You also bring joy to my life—" Sophie’s voice trailed off as she noticed James leaning in for a kiss. However, he paused just an inch away when Lucas’s voice echoed behind them.
"What is it, Lucas?" James asked, annoyance seeping into his tone as he turned to face his butler. He felt frustrated that someone had interrupted his intimate moment with his wife.
"Master, you need to see this breaking news," Lucas said, handing him his cell phone.
Like everyone else, James Philips was left speechless upon discovering that Sawyer was the rightful owner of Silverstone Group.

At one of the airports,
Harvey and Serena have just landed and are happily walking toward the luxury car waiting for them. They are on their way to a private mansion to enjoy their honeymoon.
"Rena, let’s make the most of our holiday," Harvey says, reaching out to take her hand.
"Yeah, let’s enjoy our time here! I’m so excited!" Serena giggles as they get into the car.
However, when they turn on their cell phones, they are shocked to find them vibrating constantly, flooded with overwhelming text messages.
"What’s going on? Why are there so many messages?" Harvey frowned as he looked at his cell phone.
"Me too! Is something happening in Solteria?" Serena asked worriedly. They had flown in last night and landed this morning in the country, but her phone wouldn’t stop buzzing with notifications.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Harvey’s angry voice echoed through the car, startling Serena and the driver.
"Harvey, what happened?" Serena asked, confused.
"We’re doomed, Rena! Someone leaked my conversation with Sawyer! No, he must be the one who leaked it... Damn it!"
Harvey slammed his cell phone in frustration. How could he have overlooked the possibility that Sawyer might have recorded their conversation?
Serena was in shock. Her hand trembled as she opened the link to the news about the video recording, and hearing the voice recording made her shudder.
"Oh my God! Everyone will label me a liar! I’m finished now, Harvey! My career will be over." Her voice trembled, holding back her tears.
Harvey didn’t care about Serena’s desperate cries or her future career. What he needed now was to get revenge on Sawyer. He grabbed his cell phone from the floor.
"Damn you, Sawyer Jones! I will ensure that I take everything from you. You will pay for this—" His voice lingered in the air as he read the message from his sister, Angela.
He hastily clicked the link and was utterly shocked by the headline displayed there:
[Sawyer Jones, The Real Hidden Tycoon, Owns And Controls 90% of Silverstone Group Shares!]
Instantly, his phone slipped from his hand.
Harvey was too shocked to realize that his younger brother, whom he had always viewed as poor and foolish, owned the leading company in their country.
’How could this happen? No! This can’t be possible, right? It just can’t be!’
[END!!]
