Chapter 1566
Hearing that, Stefan frowned in displeasure. “What’s there to say to him, Grandpa? He didn’t have to leave the room when we talked, so why do I have to leave when you want to talk to him?” Recently, Timothy loved chatting with Jovan secretly. Stefan didn’t know what they talked about, and the feeling of being left out made him uneasy. He couldn’t understand why Timothy wanted to be on guard against him since he was Timothy’s biological grandson, and wondered if Timothy was mistaken. “Grandpa, I’m Stef, your grandson. Jovan is your brother’s grandson. Are you sure you want to talk to him alone?” At that moment, Stefan felt like a child fighting for his parents’ love.
“I’m asking Van to stay, not you. Just shut up and get out,” Timothy snapped at Stefan.
Helpless, Stefan sighed and left Timothy’s room.
Once Stefan had left, Jovan casually walked to Timothy’s bed and pulled a chair out to take a seat. Faking a smile, he looked at the old man. “Don’t tell me you want to talk about the company again?” Timothy talked about nothing but Hunt Enterprise when he asked Jovan to stay back these days. He knew it was a critical time for Hunt Enterprise given its external and internal conflicts, and if something went wrong, the company would be doomed. Besides, the internal conflict only existed because of Jovan. Timothy had absolute power over the company, but he had passed it on to Stefan. Jovan was merely Stefan’s subordinate. Jovan’s
influence and power were getting stronger, but he needed Timothy’s approval if he wanted to fully control the company.
“You’re a smart boy, Van.
You have the means and are decisive, and your character is similar to mine. My two other grandsons aren’t as capable as you because of their soft hearts. It’s a shortcoming in the dog-eat-dog world of business.” Timothy spoke slowly, his gaze sharp. He was well aware of the current situation in the company, and he knew that Jovan would defeat Stefan. Stefan cared too much about his family, so he would undoubtedly be affected by his feelings, and the ending… would be miserable.
“So, you’re saying that I’m not more capable than Stefan even if I defeat him, but it’s because he can’t be as cruel as me, right?” Jovan knew that Timothy only saw him as a junior who was full of cunning schemes. Even if he won, it would be unrighteous. However, Jovan felt that Timothy’s opinion of him was high praise. It was easy to pretend to be nice in this era, but it was difficult to be a truly despicable man. He felt honored that he could do so without any pretense.
“You saved Stef so he won’t be cruel to you in this fight, but you’ll do exactly the opposite to him. Isn’t the ending obvious?” Sadness overwhelmed Timothy, but he got straight to the point.
