Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 519

The next morning, news of the acquisition of Lin Group by FX International Group was reported on the front pages of all the newspapers, and everyone was talking about this overnight. Some showed glee, just because of schadenfreude, a pleasure in seeing others suffer. Mary was one of the best representatives, because there would be no comparison between her and Jessica any more. Jessica had turned into a poor Cinderella from a noble princess. Mary thought to herself, 'I'd like to see how arrogant she'll be in front of me in the future.'

"Brian, you've been back awhile. You've had enough playtime, but like everything playtime ends. So you can start to go to work for the company! It's time for you to get familiar with the business."

Leo put aside the newspaper. He didn't talk about the acquisition of Lin Group by FX International Group, even though it was a top issue. It hardly surprised him. After all, Lin Group had been hit hard once before. Everyone in the business circles knew full well that it was Edward's doing. So the acquisition would happen sooner or later if someone offended Edward the smiling tiger.

"Can I say no?" Brian stopped eating his breakfast, frowning with a determined look on his face. He had no intention of working for the company.

"Dad, Brian just came back. Could you let him off a little longer so he can get used to all this? I'm still working for you, right?"

Mary said. She got nervous hearing Leo's remarks. She had planned to establish her own connections and strength her foothold in the company before Brian stepped in. She didn't expect to hear this kind of bad news in the morning at all. For her, if the bankruptcy of Lin Group was a surprise, what Leo had said was definitely a nightmare.

"I agree with your father! Brian. Go back to work to give your father a hand! You can also gain experience, right? You need to know that Ouyang Foreign Trade will belong to you in the future. It's time for you to get used to how they operate, "

Yakira said. She could see through Mary's thoughts immediately when she heard what the girl said. In the old days before she had an argument with Mary, she couldn't get in the way. But since then she had her own plans. After all, the blood of the Ouyangs flowed in Brian's veins, right? In the end, the only one she could rely on was Brian. Leo would never let Mary take over his company as she was his step-daughter.

"Is it mine? I don't think so. We've learned this company was a legacy of Daisy's grandfather. It should belong to her. Since when has it become mine? Do you want me to steal it from her? I can't do anything like that. So, you have to count on someone else!" Like thunder on a sunny day, Brian's words astonished everyone around him. All of them turned to look at him.

"Little boy. You can't say it belongs to that girl, just because you don't want to take over the company! You need to be clear that it's called Ouyang Foreign Trade, not Cheng. It's ours, not hers." Yakira looked at Leo with nervous eyes after she said this. She didn't want to piss him off, because he almost killed her when she mentioned Grace's name. This was a touchy subject with him. She had no idea if he would freak out like yesterday.

"Exactly. Ouyang Foreign Trade was the former Cheng Group, which was a dowry given by her grandfather. It wasn't a secret among the upper classes. As time passed, people have forgotten about it, "

Leo said. It was always a load on his mind, because he had a reputation as a kept man. So he had to change the name of the company which also led to temporary chaos and unnecessary losses. But he kept it afloat. And it turned the company with deep pockets into a small scale operation.

"Dad, will you leave Ouyang Foreign Trade to Daisy?" Mary asked and thought, 'No way!' She was just laughing to herself that Jessica had become the Cinderella. She didn't expect herself become as poor as her the next minute. If this happened, how would she show off in front of Jessica? This was not a big deal. The most important thing was she didn't want to go back to the miserable life of her childhood. She had gotten used to life as a rich lady over the past years at the Ouyang family. She would fall apart if she had to revert to living as one of the lower classes again.

"Do you think she would be interested in Ouyang Foreign Trade? Don't forget who she is now. How could a small company like Ouyang Foreign Trade attract her attention?" Leo said, frowning. He glanced at them. He had to do the DNA recheck as fast as possible, but he had no idea what kind of excuse he could use to ask Daisy out. It seemed this was the only problem for him.
