Chapter 521 Power and Wealth
"Ah, in this case, King and Miss Anna will be regarded as competitors by the stall owners, and they will be in trouble if they don't have a foundation."
"How come there is no foundation? Don't underestimate King's power, and David doesn't count, doesn't he? For him, it doesn't really make much difference whether the inheritance is in his own hands or in Anna's hands. β
King, who was sitting in the car and driving towards the hotel at full speed, was pondering, and although he was unlikely to accept Old John's offer, this did not prevent him from paying attention to the matter.
Gianna had only left after hearing Old John's initial mention, and was of course very interested in the results of their discussion, but seeing that he had been pondering, she did not dare to disturb him.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Gianna, who was not a quiet person, finally couldn't bear it anymore, "King, what did old John talk to you about?" β
King glanced at her, "Didn't he say that?" Hopefully the two of us can get married. β
"And then?" Originally, Gianna was thrilled to hear it, but after King finished speaking, she suddenly lost her voice again, which made her really anxious.
"Then Old John will take the whole old John's family as a dowry and give it to me." King said.
Gianna, of course, didn't believe this, thinking that King was perfunctory to her, and said dissatisfiedly, "King, I'm asking you about what happened just now, not listening to your jokes. β
"I answer you the truth," said King, "but I don't accept it." β
Gianna turned her head angrily, she thought that King was still punishing her for what she had done before, in order to hang her appetite on the most crucial matter, and she was not willing to tell her the truth at all, when the phone rang.
"Anna, what did old John talk to King about today?" David's anxious voice came over the phone.
Gianna glared at King, because she didn't know anything about it, and King just now "didn't tell her the truth", "I don't know, they met alone just now, I couldn't attend, what happened?" β
"I've been stripped of my inheritance," David said first, and it was the first thing he received.
"What?!" Gianna's eyes widened, for Old John's children, the inheritance is simply a qiΔ for them, and their lifelong efforts may be for that, what did King do, actually made Old John angry with her father, and even lost the inheritance?
David's tone was calm, "Yes, my inheritance was stripped away, but it was transferred to you, and old John declared King to be your husband internally. These two news were released at the same time, which means that the two are related, and this connection is that King has been designated as the next heir to the old John's family, and all the people who have the right to inherit have lost the qualifications to inherit the status of old John, and all they can fight for is the meager inheritance after Old John's death. β
"What, what?" Although Gianna received only two messages, they were far from acceptable to the princess, and she really couldn't say anything other than "what".
"Anna, are you engaged to King?" On the contrary, David, who had lost his inheritance, was much calmer about this, and immediately asked the key to the problem. As Gianna's father, if she was engaged, he would not be ignorant of it anyway, but now not only did he know nothing, but he also received this information inexplicably, and people in the big family would not be unwary of it.
"Engaged?" Gianna hadn't recovered from the great surprise yet, this was the inheritance of the whole family, and it was about to fall on her, and the shock of this happiness could be recovered in two or three sentences, "No," she also remembered the key question, "So why did old John do this?" It doesn't make any sense. β
"It seems that your fiancΓ© has rejected Old John, and Old John has used this method to tie our father and daughter together with him completely, so that your uncles will regard us and King as their greatest rivals. Although our competition cannot involve a face-to-face battle of life and death, your uncles are all more than successful and more than defeated, and they will definitely do their best to sabotage this matter, and now, the biggest problem is that Anna, you are not engaged to King. This King turned down Old John, what a shocking man. β
Gianna had recovered from her tremor at this time, and of course she knew the reason for King's rejection of Old John. There can only be two: they can't accept the old John's business, and their feelings and love are not yet related. She hung up the phone and found King looking at her.
"How? I'm not lying, am I? Seeing the change in Gianna's expression just now, King of course knew that Gianna had gotten the news.
"Really, it seems impossible." Gianna muttered to herself, although she knew that there would be a lot of trouble, but the woman of the family who had nothing to do with the position of the head of the family now had the opportunity to touch that position, how could she not be tempted?
"I find it hard to imagine," said King, "but looking at the way your grandfather looks, he seems to be serious. β
"Of course he's serious," Gianna said, her eyes burning again, "I know King isn't interested in our family's business, but isn't it worth fighting for such an opportunity?" β
"Fight for it?" King laughed, "So what kind of opportunity does Anna think this is?" β
"It's a..." Gianna suddenly stopped, yes, what kind of opportunity is it? For the average person, it may be a shortcut to power and wealth, and a shortcut to the sky. The problem is that King has no interest in either of these things at all. And he is disgusted with the inevitable consequence of power and wealth, the loss of freedom, so why should he think that he must accept it?
"But do you know," said Gianna, "that Old John has just declared me the next heir of Old John, and that you are my fiancΓ©. According to the tradition of the old John's family, a woman could not be the patriarch, but only her husband. β
Although King considered that Old John might be angry because of his refusal, and he was not too worried that the other party would do something too unfavorable, he definitely did not expect the head of the house to do this.
"We're not married," Gianna continued, "and we're not even engaged, so the position of head of the family isn't finalized. But how would the heirs of the past react when they received this information? β
"That's pretty much in line with the law of the wolves," King shook his head, "It seems that I underestimated Old John's determination, why did he want me to be the head of Old John's house so much?" Just look up to me? β
"This is also what I find strange," Gianna knew that it was not realistic to let King accept that position at this stage, and began to actively search for a way to achieve this goal in her mind, "It seems that King is a person who can lead the family in his mind. β
"Maybe John Sr. really thinks that what you're taking now isn't a long-term path after all," King said, "but it's none of my business, I'm going to care about my own business, and the first thing to do is to make our show in South America go smoothly." With that, he leaned back in the saddle and seemed to be asleep. Now, of course, what he thought about was not only what the reaction would be in the Old John family, but also that this announcement would definitely affect more than the Old John family, at least the Black Gold family would know after a while. But for these problems, King just moved some thoughts, thought about the troubles that might arise, and laughed it off.
South America is the base camp of Old John, and the person in charge of Old John's family here is himself, so although he made a shocking announcement, several heirs of the family have no way to deal with it for the time being, and DES Company's QiΔ performances in South America are very smooth, so I will not mention it here for the time being.
(The invincible poison of power and wealth seems to have failed in King.) This is not surprising to King, and at this point, South Korea has entered the final stage of the 2000 Grand Prix competition, what kind of variables will the return of the Timer bring to it? οΌ
